Abstract

The first 6–24 months of life is a critical “golden period” of rapid growth during which adequate and diverse nutrition is crucial. Low dietary diversity during the introduction of complementary foods (MP-ASI) can increase the risk of chronic malnutrition and stunting, and the persistently high prevalence of stunting in Central Lombok motivates investigation into the role of MP-ASI variation on linear growth. This cross-sectional, observational analytical study aimed to determine whether MP-ASI variation is associated with stunting in children aged 6–24 months in the Puyung Community Health Center area. Data were collected from October–December 2024 on ninety mother-child pairs or caregivers selected using stratified random sampling. Of the 90 children, 26 (28.9%) had inadequate MP-ASI variation (<5 food groups/day) and 49 (54.5%) were classified as stunted. Bivariate analysis using chi-square test showed no statistically significant association between variations in complementary feeding and stunted growth (p = 0.693). Variations in complementary feeding were not significantly associated with stunted growth in children aged 6–24 months in the Puyung Community Health Center area. Nutrition programs should continue to promote dietary diversity in addition to interventions that address sanitation, maternal nutrition, and other contextual determinants of stunted growth.

Abstract

A public health concern, stunting impacts children's physical and cognitive development, especially in toddlers. In order to prevent stunting, socioeconomic factors including parental education and parenting style are crucial. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between stunting in children aged 6 to 24 months in the Puyung Public Health Center's service area in Central Lombok and parental education and parenting style. This observational study used a cross-sectional design involving eight integrated health posts (posyandu). Stratified random sampling was used to identify 90 parents with children between the ages of 6 and 24 months as study participants. Information was gathered via questionnaires and the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) book. The chi-square test was used for bivariate analysis. 54.4% of the population was stunted. The majority of dads (48.9%) and women (46.7%) had completed senior high school. The majority of respondents (73.3%) thought that parenting was good, with democratic parenting being the most popular (46.7%). There was no statistically significant correlation between the incidence of stunting (p>0.05) and maternal education (p=0.080), father education (p=0.387), parenting category (p=0.655), or parenting type (p=0.402). In conclusion, there was no discernible link between stunting in children aged 6 to 24 months in the Puyung Public Health Center's service area in Central Lombok and parental education or parenting style. More studies with bigger sample sizes and examination of other affecting variables like socioeconomic status and diet are among the recommendations.

Abstract

Stunting is still a serious public health concern in Indonesia, especially in places with poor access to medical care. Stunting risk is thought to be significantly decreased by using Posyandu services, which include exclusive breastfeeding, full basic immunization, and appropriate reporting in the Maternal and Child Health (KIA) Book. Ninety respondents were chosen by stratified random sampling for this cross-sectional observational analytical study. Bivariate statistical analysis was conducted to examine the relationships between exclusive breastfeeding, basic immunization, and KIA Book completeness with stunting. The results showed no significant association between exclusive breastfeeding and stunting (p = 0.687), basic immunization and stunting (p = 0.079), or KIA Book completeness and stunting (p = 0.665). Although immunization coverage was higher among stunted children (93% versus 80%) and KIA Book completeness was high in both groups (98% in stunted versus 96% in non-stunted), these differences were not statistically significant. In conclusion, exclusive breastfeeding, basic immunization, and KIA Book documentation were not significantly associated with stunting in children attending the Puyung Health Center, Central Lombok Regency. Further studies are recommended to explore the roles of nutrition, parenting practices, and socioeconomic factors in the occurrence of stunting.
