Environmental Sanitation and Incidence of Stunting in Children Aged 12-59 Months in Ogan Ilir Regency

Abstract

Introduction: Ogan Ilir is one of the three regency with the highest stunting incidence in South Sumatera. Environment factor is indirect causes of stunting in toddlers. The objective of this study therefore was to analyze the correlation between environmental sanitation with the incidence of stunting on toddler in Ogan Ilir Regency. Method: An observational analytical with a Cross sectional approach was conducted to determine incidence of stunting and associated environmental sanitation factors among toddler. Samples were toddler aged 12-59 months around 152 which selested by Multi Stage Cluster Sampling. Data was collected through interviews using questionnaries and observation was using checklist. The data was analyzed using Analysis of covariance test at (α=0.05). Result and Discussion: There was significant association between physical quality of clean water with incidence of stunting (p=0.036). Also, quqlity of sewerage significantly correlated to incidence of stunting (p=0.011). Significantly association also found between quality of latrines with incidence of stunting (p=0.005). On the other hand, history of infectious disease (p=0.100), personal hygiene (p=0.347), pesticide exposure (p=0.06), and cigarette smoke exposure (p=0.077) were not associated with inciden of stunting. Conclusion:Indirectly, the incidence of toddlers stunting is determined by environmental sanitation.

The Effect of Sanitation Performance and Parental Livelihood on Stunting Severity: Study at 3 Ecological Zones at South Lampung Regency, Indonesia

“…Sanitation, which refers to the water used for bathing, washing, toileting, and drinking, is frequently identified as a route of transmission of disease-causing organisms (pathogens), including feces [25]. Non standard latrines, such as dirty, open roofs, and inadequate water access as in our study, will cause the spread of disease vectors for users and the surrounding environment [26], [27]. However, additional checks are needed before drawing definite conclusions about the relationship between these variables with each other.…”

“…Our data detected a significant effect of wastewater sewerage construction materials from cement and pipes in reducing stunting in toddlers aged 0-59 months. Pipe material wastewater sewerage qualifies as the best because they can resist all possible contamination that occurs in the home environment [24], meanwhile, the construction material for sewerage in the form of soil can be a breeding ground for vectors where transmission causes infectious diseases, and contaminant water infiltration can be carried to wells and rivers so that water is polluted [26], [35]. According to our observations in the field, some households drained wastewater directly to the ground near the well.…”

Hubungan Ketersediaan Sanitasi Dasar terhadap Status Gizi Baduta di Desa Pelem, Bojonegoro

“…Pembuangan limbah, baik limbah padat maupun cair, dari rumah tangga harus diolah dengan baik agar tidak mencemari permukaan tanah dan sumber air 53 . Hasil dari penelitian sebelumnya menyatakan bahwa tidak ada hubungan yang signifikan antara ketersediaan SPAL dengan status gizi pada anak (pvalue=0,879) 54 . Beberapa penelitian menyatakan SPAL yang buruk akan lebih mempengaruhi dan memiliki risiko lebih besar terhadap kejadian stunting pada anak 9,54 .…”

Berbanding terbalik dengan hasil statistik yang telah dilakukan, bahwa tidak ada hubungan antara keadaan SPAL yang tertutup dengan status gizi pada anak baduta.…”

The Correlation Between Demographic Characteristics With Wash Practices In Stunting Locus

“…There is a reciprocal and very close relationship between nutritional adequacy and infectious diseases. Toddler infections impair the body's ability to absorb nutrients optimally, resulting in a disparity between the amount of nutrients required and the amount absorbed (Purba et al, 2020). If this malnutrition continues to occur, it can cause stunted growth in toddlers (Septiyani et al, 2021).…”
