“…En el año 2016, se diagnosticaron 80 desnutridos graves, de los cuales 21 (26,3 %) fueron formas edematosas y 48 (60,0 %) fueron lactantes, lo que indica un aumento significativo de las formas edematosas. Maulina y col. (12), demostraron que en la provincia deTimor Leste, durante 2009 al 2016, la prevalencia de retraso del crecimiento fue de 44,4 %, de insuficiencia ponderal de 37,5 % y la emaciación de 25,3 %, siendo las variables asociadas con el retraso del crecimiento, el bajo peso y la emaciación, la educación de la madre, el sexo del niño, el tipo de residencia, el índice de riqueza. En el presente estudio, el porcentaje de pacientes diagnosticado con desnutrición grave fue significativamente menor, e igual en lactantes y preescolares; y más cercanos a los publicados por Permatasari y Chadirin (13).…”

“…Moreover, there is clear evidence of adolescent social and economic vulnerabilities [ 8 9 ]. However, few articles have been published on risk factors of child stunting in Timor-Leste even though these factors exist, and little is known about how maternal characteristics and background contribute to child stunting in Timor-Leste [ 10 ]. Not just the sociodemographic status of a mother but also her perinatal status and behavior such as breastfeeding [ 11 ] might have a major impact upon the growth and development of a child.…”

“…Not just the sociodemographic status of a mother but also her perinatal status and behavior such as breastfeeding [ 11 ] might have a major impact upon the growth and development of a child. Hence, the present study is unique in that it employs such important variables not used in previous studies [ 10 ] and examines high stunting among children living in under-studied Timor-Leste.…”

Background: Undernutrition, including stunting, is the cause of almost 45% of all deaths among children under the age of five. It not only affects child growth but also has a long-term negative influence on cognitive and physical abilities. Timor-Leste has the highest prevalence of child stunting in Southeast Asia. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the prevalence of stunting and factors associated with it. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted using the Demographic and Health Survey of 2016 for Timor-Leste. The prevalence of stunting among children under five years of age was examined, and bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the factors associated with stunting. Results: Among 4,581 children under five years of age, growth in nearly 40% was stunted. The majority of the mothers with stunted children were of age 20–30 years with about 33% having their first baby at ≤19 years of age. Compared to women of <145 cm of height, those of ≥145 cm height had lower likelihood of having a stunted child (OR: 0.62, 95% CI: [0.48–0.80], p < 0.001). It was also interesting to note that the risk of stunting was lower among female children than male children [OR: 0.75, 95% CI: (0.64–0.88), p < 0.001] in our adjusted model. Similarly, other factors such as wealth index, postnatal care visits, currently breastfeeding, age of the child, and size of the child at birth were also associated with stunting. Conclusion: The present findings indicate that child stunting in Timor-Leste is mainly associated with maternal and child sociodemographic status. Hence, it is crucial to identify the quality of services provided by health facilities, the involvement of health workers and volunteers, and the intention of mothers to use the health services in Timor-Leste.

Health education about stunting prevention using audiovisual media has never been done for pregnant women in the working area of the Wani Health Center. This study aims to Analyzing the effect of health education through audiovisual media on stunting prevention knowledge among pregnant women in the working area of the Wani Health Center. This study is a pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest posttest design. The population is all pregnant women in four villages in the working area of the Wani Donggala Health Center, Central Sulawesi. The sample consist of 43 respondents. The instruments used were pretest, posttest 1 and posttest 2 questionnaires, with 21 statement numbers. Pre, post 1 and post 2 data collection was carried out at the village office and auxiliary health centers in four villages. Health education materials through audiovisual media is related to stunting prevention. Audiovisual is self-made using animation with a duration of 8 minutes and 12 seconds. Univariate analysis is the frequency distribution and bivariate with the Friedman test. The results showed that the average value of the pretest: 52.18, posttest 1: 71.722 and posttest 2: 90.86. Friedman test obtained a value of ρ 0.000 (<0.05). The conclusions is health education through audiovisual media in posttest 2 significantly increases knowledge of stunting prevention in pregnant women. It is hoped that health workers will increase the use of audiovisual media as a preventive effort to prevent stunting.
