Stunting merupakan sebuah masalah kesehatan dimana seorang bayi atau anak-anak mengalami hambatan dalam pertumbuhan tubuhnya, sehingga gagal memiliki tinggi yang ideal pada usianya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah melihat hubungan sumber air minum, kepemilikan jamban, sarana pembuangan air limbah dan kepemilikan tempat sampah dengan kejadian stunting di Desa Jayabakti wilayah kerja Puskesmas Pagimana Tahun 2021.Jenis penelitian ini adalah Observasional analitik  dengan pendekatan Cross Sectional serta Teknik pengambilan sampel yang digunakan yaitu simple random sampling. Sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah ibu balita sebanyak 156 responden  Analisis data yang digunakan adalah analisis bivariat menggunakan uji Chi Squaree. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa tidak terdapat hubungan antara sumber air minum, kepemilikan jamban, dan kepemilikan SPAL dengan kejadian stunting di Desa Jayabakti dengan nilai p value > 0,05. Sedangkan hasil analisis tabulasi kepemilikan tempat sampah di peroleh hasil p value = 0,006 (<0,05), dengan demikian terdapat hubungan antara kepemilikan tempat sampah dengan kejadian stunting. Sanitasi lingkungan secara tidak langsung mempengaruhi gizi balita. Sanitasi yang buruk dapat menimbulkan penyakit infeksi pada balita seperti diare dan kecacingan yang dapat menganggu proses pencernaan dalam proses penyerapan nutrisi, jika kondisi ini terjadi dalam waktu yang lama dapat mengakibatkan masalah stunting. Stunting is a health problem in which a baby or child experiences obstacles in their body growth, so they fail to have the ideal height for their age. The purpose of this study was to see the relationship between drinking water sources, latrine ownership, waste water disposal facilities and ownership of trash bins with stunting in Jayabakti Village, Pagimana Health Center working area in 2021. namely simple random sampling. The sample in this study were mothers of children under five as many as 156 respondents. The data analysis used was bivariate analysis using the Chi Squaree test. The results showed that there was no relationship between drinking water sources, latrine ownership, and SPAL ownership with stunting in Jayabakti Village with p value > 0.05. While the results of the tabulation analysis of the ownership of the trash can obtained the results of p value = 0.006 (<0.05), thus there is a relationship between the ownership of the trash can and the incidence of stunting. Environmental sanitation indirectly affects the nutrition of children under five. Poor sanitation can cause infectious diseases in toddlers such as diarrhea and worms which can interfere with the digestive process in the process of absorption of nutrients, if this condition occurs for a long time it can cause stunting problems.

Introduction: Nutritional balance is needed during adolescence for health and optimal growth. The aim of the study is to analyse the nutritional status and food consumption patterns of adolescents in Luwuk. Methods: This study was conducted with a cross-sectional design involving 385 adolescents at four high schools (grade 10-12). The sample was divided into four schools and selected by the accidental sampling method. Food consumption patterns were assessed using a World Health Organization-designed Global School-based Student Health Survey questionnaire (modified for Indonesia). Nutritional status is based on the results of anthropometric. Data were analysed using frequency distribution and inferential analysis. Results: Of the total 385 adolescents studied, there were 4.7% adolescents overweight and 2.3% were obese. On the other hand, there are also 10.6% thin adolescents and 4.4% with very thinness. 49.9% of adolescents do not consume fruit, 22.3% do not eat vegetables, 23.5% drink soft drinks with carbonated >=1 time per day, 54.8% eat fast food >=1 day a week, 66 .5% rarely or never breakfast, 58.2% never bring lunch and 18.7% usually eat street snacks. Conclusion: Some adolescents in Luwuk City had nutritional problems and unhealthy food consumption patterns. A nutritional surveillance program is needed for adolescents which includes monitoring nutritional status, consumption patterns, and risk factors related to nutrition.

Climate change has caused various social impacts such as changing of ecosystem and increasing tropical diseases i.e Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF). The tropical area which has high humidity has more potential to breed aedes agypti rather than other areas. The pattern of DHF in the District of Banggai had fluctuated since 2010 and in 2016 it has gradually increased by 15 out of 100,000 populations. The aim of this study is to analyze the correlation between climate change and the incidence of DHF in the District of Banggai. The methods used by this research was ecological studies with a time series approach. Data were obtained from the Health Service and the Statistics Agency in District of Banggai from 2010 to 2015 comprised several variables: the number of DHF incidence, the average of rainfall (mm), level of humidity (%), the average of temperature (o C), and sunlights (%). Pearson correlation test (r) is provided to analyze the data. The results show that the humidity of DHF cases, rain intensity one month before and the increasing of both temperature and sunlight in the previous three months get significant values (ρ<0,05). It relates to Butterworth (2016) and Ebi et al (2016) who stated the increasing number of vector and dengue virus is affected to the climate change. In addition, the higher temperature, the more spreaded Aedes aegypti counts. As a result, the government should improve the capacity of surveillance to optimize the treatment and prompt responses used for preventing DHF epidemics.

Stunting is a chronic malnutrition problem caused by a lack of nutrition for a long time which leads to abnormal growth in children, such as lower or shorter height than the standard age. Therefore, this study aims to determine the factors associated with the incidence of stunting at the age of 12 to 60 months in Banggai Regency, Indonesia in 2020. Observation analysis and cross-sectional approach were used in this study and the sample size was 161 toddlers at the age of 12 to 60 months. The data were obtained through observations and direct interviews using questionnaires and were processed and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that 51.6% of children below 60 months were with stunting and 48.4% had normal nutritional status, while there were 65.8% of proper birth lengths. Chi-Square test results showed a significant relationship between birth length (p = 0.000), birth weight (p = 0.253), exclusive breastfeeding (p = 0.000), various types of food (p = 0.003), frequency of feeding (p = 0.000), hygiene practices (p = 0.000), growth monitoring (p = 0.000) with the incidence of stunting, and there was no relationship, such as birth weight (p = 0.253) with the incidence of stunting in children below 60 months in Jaya Village Bakti, Pagimana District, Banggai Regency. The sample is limited to the group of toddlers from 12 to 60 months, therefore, further study on 0 to 11 months is recommended in Jaya Bakti Village, Pagimana District, Banggai Regency
