BBLR, Pemberian ASI Eksklusif, Pendapatan Keluarga, dan Penyakit Infeksi Berhubungan dengan Kejadian Stunting

Abstract

Stunting is a nutritional problem that hinders the growth process of toddlers. Toddler stunting has a negative impact that will last in the next life. According to UNICEF (2011), the nutritional status of children can be directly affected by factors, namely gender and low birth weight. Indirect factors, namely health status, infectious diseases/ Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI), diarrhea with low family income, parenting patterns, and not exclusive breastfeeding. The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between low birth weight, exclusive breastfeeding, family income, and infectious diseases with the incidence of stunting in toddlers aged 24-59 months in the Mangasa Health Center Work Area in 2020. This was a case control study involving a total of 30 stunted and non-stunded children in each. The independent variables were low birth weight breastfeeding exclusive, family income, and infectious diseases, while the dependent variable is stunting. The study results show that children with low birth weight were like to have stunting 5.7 times than normal birth weight (p=0.007). Similarly, children with formula and mixed feeding were likely to have stunting 5 times (p=0.015) than exclusively breastfed children. Poor family income and the presence of infectious disease were also contributed to stunting (OR= 7; p= 0.025, OR= 5.7, p= 0.007, respectively). In conclusion, the family income variable is the variable that has the most incidence of stunting among children aged 24 – 59 months.

The Effect of Family Income, Education and Mother's First Marriage Age on The Incidence of Stunting in Abang Sub-District

“…Variable family income with an Odds Ratio value of 0.0805, families with low income (≤ UMK Karangasem) are more at risk of giving birth to stunted children as much as 0.0805 times than families with high income (≥ UMK Karangasem). The results of this study are in line with research conducted by [16] which explains that family income has a negative and significant influence on the incidence of stunting in Makassar. This result means that a low income level is a risk factor for stunting, where families with low incomes have a 7 times greater risk of having stunted children than families with sufficient income.…”

The Influence of Parenting Patterns, Diarrhea Diseases and Infections on the Incidence of Stunting Toddlers in Poor Families in Medan City

“…Another study concluded that nutritional parenting patterns influence the incidence of stunting (Shodikin et Vol 6 al., 2023). Additional studies indicate a connection between the prevalence of stunting in children between the ages of 24 and 59 months in the Mangasa Health Center Working Area, Makassar City in 2020, and exclusive breastfeeding (Saadong et al, 2021).…”
