Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem characterized by a toddler's length or height being below the standard for their age. This condition reflects long-term malnutrition and impacts physical growth, cognitive development, and future productivity. Indonesia remains a country with a high prevalence of stunting, requiring epidemiological analysis to understand its incidence patterns and risk factors. This study aims to analyze the incidence of stunting in toddlers based on aspects of person, place, and time, as well as related factors. The study used an observational analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The study sample consisted of 100 toddlers selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through anthropometric measurements and questionnaires. Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate methods using the Chi- Square test. The results showed that the prevalence of stunting remains high and is related to factors such as toddler age, maternal education, maternal nutritional status, and feeding patterns. It was concluded that the incidence of stunting is influenced by various multidimensional factors, requiring sustainable cross-sectoral interventions.

Abstract

Environmental sanitation is an important factor in maintaining public health and preventing the occurrence of environmentally related diseases. Poor sanitation can be a medium for transmitting various diseases, such as diarrhea, skin diseases, and respiratory infections. This study aims to determine the relationship between environmental sanitation and the incidence of environmentally related diseases. The study used an observational analytical design with a cross - sectional approach. The study sample consisted of 120 heads of families selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and environmental sanitation observation sheets, then analyzed using the Chi- Square test. The results showed a significant relationship between environmental sanitation and the incidence of environmentally related diseases (p < 0.05). It was concluded that poor environmental sanitation increases the risk of environmentally related diseases. Efforts to improve environmental sanitation and provide ongoing public health education are needed.
