<![CDATA[AbstrakPertumbuhan dan perkembangan yang optimal dapat terhambat oleh kekurangan gizi selama kehamilan dan sampai anak berusia dua tahun sehingga dapat meningkatkan risiko stunting, di samping faktor lain seperti infeksi yang berulang dan kurangnya stimulasi. Tujuan penelitian ini menilai hubungan riwayat pemberian ASI eksklusif dan keragaman konsumsi pangan ibu dengan angka kejadian stunting pada balita. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian analitik kuantitatif dengan pendekatan desain cross sectional. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan Maret 2022 di dua puskesmas, yaitu Puskesmas Tempino dan Puskesmas Pondok Meja Kabupaten Muaro Jambi. Populasi penelitian balita yang berusia 6–24 bulan, dengan sampel sebesar 75 responden yang dipilih dengan teknik simple random sampling. Terdapat hubungan bermakna riwayat pemberian ASI eksklusif dan keragaman konsumsi pangan ibu dengan kejadian stunting. Kedua faktor tersebut dapat meminimalisir risiko stunting pada balita. Penelitian selanjutnya perlu dilakukan dengan populasi yang lebih banyak dan beragam serta intervensi dari tenaga kesehatan untuk mendorong peningkatan prevalensi pemberian ASI eksklusif dan bantuan dari pemangku kebijakan agar konsumsi keragaman pangan dapat lebih ditingkatkan lagi.Relationship of Exclusive Breastfeeding and Diversity of Mother's Food Consumption with Stunting Incidence in Toddlers in Muaro Jambi RegencyAbstractOptimal growth and development can be hampered by malnutrition during pregnancy and until the child is two years old, increasing the risk of stunting and other factors such as repeated infections and lack of stimulation. This study aimed to assess the relationship between a history of exclusive breastfeeding and the diversity of maternal food consumption with the incidence of stunting in children under five. This type of research is quantitative analytic research with a cross-sectional design approach. The study was conducted in March 2022 at two puskesmas, namely the Tempino Health Center and the Pondok Table Health Center, Muaro Jambi Regency. The study population was toddlers aged 6–24 months, with a sample of 75 respondents selected by simple random sampling. There is a significant relationship between the history of exclusive breastfeeding and the diversity of maternal food consumption with the incidence of stunting. These two factors can minimize the risk of stunting in toddlers. Future research needs to be carried out with a more extensive and diverse population as well as intervention from health workers to encourage an increase in the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding and assistance from policymakers so that the consumption of food diversity can be further increased.]]>
