Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health challenge, particularly in areas characterized by socioeconomic and environmental disparities. Although the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia declined to 19.8% in 2024, several districts in Sulawesi continue to report substantially higher rates. This study aimed to identify family, nutrition-sensitive, and nutrition-specific determinants of stunting across six high-prevalence districts in Sulawesi, Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was conducted using secondary data from the 2024 Indonesian Nutritional Status Survey (SSGI). The study included 3,263 households with children under five years of age from Mamuju (n=552), Gorontalo City (n=561), Buton Selatan (n=580), Minahasa Selatan (n=480), Jeneponto (n=580), and Buol (n=510). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, bivariate analysis, and multivariate logistic regression.  Multivariate analysis revealed substantial district-level variation in the determinants of stunting. In Mamuju, proper kitchen wastewater disposal systems were associated with lower odds of stunting (AOR=0.36; 95% CI: 0.181–0.706; p=0.003). In Buton Selatan, incomplete hepatitis immunization increased the odds of stunting (AOR=1.88; 95% CI: 1.036–3.401; p=0.038). In Buol, higher maternal education was associated with lower odds of stunting (AOR=0.71; 95% CI: 0.524–0.969; p=0.031). In Minahasa Selatan, higher paternal education (AOR=0.56; 95% CI: 0.338–0.932; p=0.026) and health insurance ownership (AOR=0.43; 95% CI: 0.208–0.891; p=0.023) were protective factors. An association between paternal employment and stunting was also observed, although this finding should be interpreted cautiously because of the small subgroup size. No significant determinants were identified in Gorontalo City or Jeneponto.  Determinants of stunting varied across districts, indicating that stunting is highly context-dependent. District-specific interventions focusing on sanitation, immunization coverage, parental education, and socioeconomic support are needed to accelerate stunting reduction in high-prevalence areas.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a major public health concern in Makassar City, Indonesia. This study aimed to analyze the spatial distribution of Aedes aegypti larval density and its association with dengue transmission risk among children in the working area of the Kassi-Kassi Community Health Center. A quantitative cross-sectional design with a geographic information system approach was used. A total of households were selected using proportional simple random sampling. Data were collected through field observations, household surveys, and secondary data from health institutions. The results showed that temperature ranged from 25.3°C to 27.3°C, humidity from 70% to 89%, and rainfall from 45 mm to 463 mm. Larval density was classified into low-risk (0–4), medium-risk (5–9), and high-risk (10–15) categories, while larvae-positive houses ranged from 87.5% to 100%. Spatial analysis using showed that high-risk areas were concentrated in densely populated settlements with poor drainage and uncovered water storage containers. The association between larval density and dengue incidence was indicated by [insert correlation/index value; p-value]. This study was limited by its cross-sectional design, single study area, and incomplete ability to establish causal relationships. The findings support targeted dengue prevention through Mosquito Nest Eradication, 3M Plus education, and routine larval monitoring.

Abstract

The Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) framework explicitly seeks to address the structural barriers faced by marginalized groups, yet institutionalizing these frameworks within higher education settings often faces deep implementation gaps. While macro-policies and empirical violations are widely documented, understanding how university students conceptualize these intersecting issues is crucial for developing genuinely responsive campus ecosystems. This study aims to analyze the level of GEDSI understanding among Indonesian university students. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was conducted concurrently at Universitas 'Aisyiyah Yogyakarta and Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar. The quantitative phase utilized a 17-item Likert scale questionnaire administered to 71 purposively sampled undergraduate students from various health and technical programs. Subsequently, the qualitative phase involved semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions with a subset of 15 students selected based on survey score variations. The quantitative data underwent descriptive statistical analysis, while the qualitative audio recordings were transcribed verbatim and examined using thematic analysis. The findings reveal a distinct dualism in how university students conceptualize the GEDSI framework. In the public sphere, students demonstrated progressive perspectives, with 97.2% supporting equal leadership roles for female and 98.6% agreeing that classroom religious differences must be accommodated. Conversely, deeply internalized stereotypes persisted in the domestic domain, with 95.7% maintaining that the role of head of household belongs exclusively to men. Furthermore, despite 100% support for physical campus accessibility, 90.1% of respondents perceived individuals with disabilities through a traditional charity-based model rather than a structural, rights-based framework. A clear divergence persists between students' public endorsement of equity and their internalized, traditional beliefs regarding domestic gender roles and charity-focused models of disability.

Abstract

Stunting continues to be a significant public health concern in Indonesia and is strongly associated with maternal and reproductive determinants. One recognized factor contributing to stunting is early marriage, which may increase biological, psychosocial, and socioeconomic vulnerability among mothers. This study aimed to examine the relationship between maternal age at marriage and stunting among children under five in Sleman Regency, Indonesia, while accounting for selected maternal and child characteristics. A cross-sectional design was conducted from October to December 2025 across three primary health centers in Sleman, involving 60 mother–child pairs selected through total sampling. Stunting was defined as a height-for-age z-score below −2 standard deviations based on WHO criteria. Independent variables included maternal age at marriage, maternal sociodemographic characteristics, birth spacing, exclusive breastfeeding history, child sex, and health center coverage area. Data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate methods with Firth’s logistic regression. Adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated, and model selection was guided by the Akaike Information Criterion. Stunting prevalence was 16.7%. Early maternal marriage, female sex, and inadequate birth spacing were significantly associated with higher stunting risk. These findings underscore the importance of delaying marriage and strengthening reproductive health interventions.
