Background: A healthy child can make way for a healthy adult. Some of the factors that can be used to determine the health of a young child are nutritional status of the child, the developmental milestones achieved, and frequency of illness. Objectives: The health status of children and associated factors are determined. Methods: This is a community-based cross-sectional study with 271 participants. The height and weight of the child were measured; questions were asked regarding developmental milestones achieved and frequent illnesses. An interview schedule was used to enquire about the determinants of health status. Descriptive statistics were done; Chi-square test and regression were used to determine association between the health status of children and determinants. Results: A total of 127 (46.86%) were found to have a good health status. Family type (Chi square value 9.568; P value = 0.002), birth spacing (Chi square 20.540; P value < 0.001), term or pre-term birth (Chi square 4.598; P value = 0.032), chronic medical problem in the child (Chi square 11.074; P value = 0.001), and immunization status of the child (Chi square 5.666; P value = 0.017) were found to have significant association with the health status of the child. By logistic regression, pre-term child birth and family type were found to have higher odds. Conclusion: For better health of the child, specific focus on birth spacing, term birth of baby, better care of the ill, and complete immunization play vital roles.

Social aspect is a determinant of stunting. Stunting in children is an indicator of well-being and an accurate reflection of social inequality. This study aims to analyze the social and health determinants of the families of children under two years of age with stunting in Sigi District. This was an analytical study with cross sectional design which involved a population of children aged 6-23 months. A sample size consisted of 380 people were selected through cluster simple random sampling technique. Respondents involved the mothers of children under two years of age. Data collection was conducted in February-June 2022. The dependent variables was stunting incidence. The independent variables were maternal age, parity, birth spacing, maternal education, child's gender, child's age in months, length of birth, early initiation of breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding, breastfeeding status, child condition at the time of study, history of ARI, diarrhea, pulmonary tuberculosis, measles, Helminth Infection, utilization of health facilities, growth and development stimulation, complementary food, water sources, ownership of family latrines, food insecurity, housing, and smoking family members. Stunting data was obtained by measuring body length using the Length Measuring Board (LMB) and measuring age by reading the birth certificate or MCH book of the child. Other data were obtained by filling out the kobocollect questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22.00. The WHO-Antro 2005 software was applied to determine the Z-Score. Height-for-Age data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis using Backward logistic regression method. Ethical clearance was obtained from the ethics committee of Palu Health Polytechnic number 0011/KEPK-KPK/IV/2022. The results showed that children aged 12-24 months had a 4.1 times higher risk of experiencing stunting compared to children aged 0-6 months (AOR=4.1; 95% CI: 2.0-8.4). Furthermore, children aged 7-11 months had a 2.2 times higher risk of experiencing stunting compared to children aged 0-6 months (AOR=2.2;95%CI: 1.2-3.9). Children who had a length of birth of <48 cm had a 2.1 times higher risk of experiencing stunting compared to children who had a length of birth of ≥48 cm (AOR=2.1; 95% CI: 1.2-3.6). Children of women with education of <9 years had a 2.7 times higher risk of experiencing stunting compared to children of women with education of ≥9 years (AOR=2.7; 95% CI: 1.4-5.0). Children from families with food insecurity had a 1.6 times higher risk of experiencing stunting compared to children from families with no food insecurity (AOR=1.6; 95% CI: 0.9-2.7). Social and health determinants of children under two years of age with stunting in Sigi District were child's age, length of birth of <48 cm, maternal education and food insecurity.

Reducing the number of unplanned pregnancies is one way to improve the standard of family planning programs. Unplanned pregnancies due to an unmet need for family planning are one of the factors contributing to the increase in IMR and MMR rates and an increase in the population. This study aimed to analyze what factors are related to the incidence of unmet need for family planning and strategies to accelerate the decline in unmet need for family planning in West Sulawesi Province using the 2021 Family Data Collection data set. The research method used is quantitative with a cross-sectional design on chi analysis-square and quadrant analysis using the 2021 Family Data Collection data set with a total sample of 185,132 couples of childbearing age in the province of West Sulawesi. The study found that education level, employment status, age, and the number of children born alive to couples of childbearing age were significantly related to the incidence of unmet need in West Sulawesi with a p-Value of 0.000 and two districts which were the top priority in accelerating the reduction of unmet need for family planning are Mamuju and Polewali Mandar Regency according to quadrant analysis. The results of this research can provide recommendations for mapping targets and areas to stakeholders to accelerate the reduction of unmet needs for family planning in West Sulawesi.
