“…The regression results show that this variable has a statistically significant effect on stunting status with an OR value smaller than 1, which means that under-five children living in a household with piped water drinking water sources have a lower risk of stunting than under-five children with other sources of drinking water. This is consistent with a study conducted in India in by Parekh and Pillai (2016), which discovered that households without access to piped water had a higher rate of stunting. According to their findings, children with access to piped water are 20% less likely to be stunted than children without such access.…”

Preparing children from birth can boost productivity and competitiveness later in their lives. However, the occurrence of malnutrition and stunting during childhood period will reduce their productivity and increases the risk of non-communicable diseases later in their lives. This study examines the effect of sanitation, drinking water sources, and drinking water treatment on stunting in Indonesian children (0-59 months). This study analyses cross- sectional data from the 2014 Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) 5 with 3,834 children living with their biological mothers. The Logistic Regression to estimate the coefficients is applied here. The results show that the variables of sanitation, drinking water sources, and drinking water treatment before consuming affected stunting. Children who consume tap water are less likely to be stunted (OR=0.81, 95% CI 0.66-0.99). Birth weight, economic conditions, and mother’s level of education also affect risk of stunting. Hence, to overcome the risk of stunting, the government have to accelerate the supply of basic sanitation, to protect the good quality of drinking water sources, and to promote the awareness of boiling water before consumption.

“…The differences in the effects of religion on stunting may be attributed to the variations in values and norms that guide lifestyles and beliefs concerning health and well-being (Parekh and Pillai, 2016). In contrast to a past study that found a better nutritional status of urban children (Bharati et al, 2008), this study found that under-five children residing in rural areas had a lower chance of undernutrition, once socio-economic factors are controlled for.…”

Background: Undernutrition is a significant public health problem and the leading risk factor for India's disease burden. Aim: To understand the determinants of nutritional status among under-five children receiving Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) in India. Methods: The study used the National Family Health Survey–4 (2015–16) data. The analysis was carried out for under-five children who have availed of any ICDS services in the 12 months preceding the survey ( n = 1,27,813). Stunting, wasting, and underweight were estimated following the World Health Organization guideline and used as the outcome variables. The binary logistic regression was conducted to examine the association of ICDS utilization and socioeconomic-demographic predictors with under-five children's nutritional status. STATA (V 13) was used for statistical analyses. Results: A sizable proportion of under-five children receiving any ICDS services suffer from undernutrition. The undernutrition prevalence varied considerably by socioeconomic and demographic characteristics. Logistic regression found an insignificant association of ICDS utilization with the nutritional status of under-five children. Children not immunized in ICDS centers were less likely to be stunted (OR: 0.93; P < 0.01), wasted (OR: 0.93; P < 0.01), and underweight (OR: 0.90; P < 0.01) than their counterparts. The child's age and gender, maternal education and nutrition status, wealth index, social group, region, residence, and region were significant determinants of undernutrition among ICDS beneficiaries. Conclusion: The study suggests the need to ensure all available services to children enrolled in the Anganwadi Center (AWC). The program should also emphasize feeding practices and educate parents about improving child health and nutrition.

“…Upaya intervensi terhadap pendidikan perempuan tanpa memandang status social dan keagamaan, serta peningkatan fasilitas sanitasi yang baik sangat penting untuk mengurangi anak-anak yang terkena stunting. Sehingga dalam penelitian tersebut sangat menyarakan untuk melakukan edukasi gizi dan sanitasi dalam menangani permasalahan stunting yang terjadi (Parekh & Pillai, 2016). Semua ini sejalan dengan apa yang telah dilakukan oleh tim pengabdian Universitas Siliwangi.…”

Pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dilaksanakan menggunakan desain pengabdian masyarakat untuk meningkatkan kesehatan masyarakat. Pengabdian ini dilakukan untuk melanjutkan hasil observasi terkait dengan Desa Tamansari. Hasil observasi menunjukkan bahwa banyak orang tua yang salah paham dalam memberikan asupan gizi kepada anak-anak mereka sehingga berdampak pada pertumbuhan dan perkembangan anak-anak tersebut. Data lapangan menunjukkan bahwa 96 anak di Desa Tamansari dari total 319 anak di Kecamatan Tamansari mengalami stunting. Tentu saja hal ini memiliki implikasi terhadap kualitas sumber daya manusia (SDM) Indonesia pada tahun 2045 di tengah bonus demografi yang sedang terjadi. Pemberdayaan masyarakat dalam kesempatan ini akan dilakukan dengan memberikan penyuluhan terkait pendidikan gizi dan sanitasi, serta memberikan bantuan makanan dasar dan makanan bergizi tinggi agar mereka yang terkena stunting dapat mengalami perbaikan kondisi sehingga nantinya dapat menjadi salah satu pelaku yang memberikan dampak positif dalam menciptakan Indonesia Emas 2045. The community service that will be carried out uses a community service design to improve community health. This service was carried out in order to continue the results of observations related to Tamansari Village. Where the results of observations show that there is a lot of misunderstanding from parents in providing nutritional intake to their children so that the impact on their children's growth and development is hampered. Fields data shows that 96 children in Tamansari Village out of 319 children in Tamansari District are affected by stunting. This of course has implications for the quality of Indonesia's human resources (HR) in 2045 amidst the demographic bonus that is occurring.Community empowerment on this occasion will be carried out by providing counseling related to nutrition and sanitation education, as well as providing basic food assistance and high-nutrient food so that those who have been affected by stunting can experience improvements in their conditions so that they can later become one of the actors who have a positive impact in creating a golden Indonesia 2045.
