Abstract

Underweight in children, defined as failure to achieve a normal weight for age, poses a significant risk of stunting if not properly addressed. This study investigates the determinants of underweight among children aged 6–23 months in Central Sulawesi Province through quantitative analysis of secondary data from the 2022 SSGI. The research employed a cross-sectional design with a sample size of 1,991 children, analyzing the data through chi-square tests and logistic regression. Multivariate analysis identified several significant factors: low birth weight (low birth weight (LBW)) (p=0.000; OR 2.304; 95% CI 1.620–3.277), exclusive breastfeeding (p=0.023; OR 1.507; 95% CI 1.057–2.149), frequency of complementary feeding (CF) (p=0.043; OR 0.775; 95% CI 0.606–0.992), age at introduction of CF (p=0.043; OR 0.708; 95% CI 0.507–0.989), acute respiratory infections (ARI) (p=0.005; OR 1.429; 95% CI 1.117–1.828), and diarrhea (p=0.045; OR 1.368; 95% CI 1,007–1,859). The study concludes that low birth weight (low birth weight (LBW)) is the primary risk factor for underweight in this population. Recommendations include further research into the quantity and diversity of complementary foods, the frequency of CF, and maternal health factors during pregnancy.

Abstract

Background: Central Sulawesi recorded the highest prevalence of underweight in 2022. One-quarter of children were underweight in this province, which placed them at risk of stunting. Food diversity was a protective factor against stunting. Unmet Minimum Dietary Diversity (MDD) indicates inadequate feeding practices that contribute to undernutrition. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of unmet Minimum Dietary Diversity among children aged 6-23 months in Central Sulawesi and its determinants. Methods: This study analyzed secondary data from the Indonesian Nutritional Status Survey in 2022 with a total sample size of 2372 children. The outcome variable was Unmet Minimum Dietary Diversity, and the determinant variables were parental education, occupation, children's age group, and child sex. Multiple logistic regression was used to examine the association between the determinant variables and the outcome. Results: The prevalence of unmet MDD was 75.5%. Children in the age group of 6-11 months, having mothers with the lowest education level, having fathers with an unstable income, and male children were significant determinants of unmet MDD. Children in the age group 6-11 months had a 2.6 times greater risk of having unmet MDD, and it was the most dominant determinant for unmet MDD. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that unmet MDD was more prevalent among children at the beginning of the complementary feeding age. To reduce the risk of undernutrition, strengthened nutrition interventions should be given to improve feeding practices among children in the complementary feeding age.
