Abstract

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are bacterial infection that often occurs in childhood. Its occurrence depends on several predisposing factors and individual immunocompetence. Children with stunting have impaired immune function; therefore, early detection and prompt treatment of associated infections in children with stunting are critical. This study aimed to identify the association between UTI incidence in stunting and non-stunting children in Banten. This cross-sectional study was conducted in Pandeglang Regency, Banten. The subject of this study was 120 children aged 6 to 72 months. Well-nourished children matched for age were selected for the control group. Data was collected by a questionnaire-guided interview, physical examination, and urinalysis examination. Out of 120 respondents, 72 respondents (60%) were categorized as stunting and 26 respondents (21,67%) had UTIs. Out of the respondents who experienced UTIs, 15 respondents (12.5%) were categorized as severely stunted, and 5 respondents (4.17%) were categorized as stunted. There is an association between UTI and stunting.
