Background/Objective: Although there has been a decline in the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia in the past decade, the figure is still the highest among countries in Southeast Asia. This figure varies in 34 provinces. The purpose of the study was to analyze the regional disparity of stunted toddlers in Indonesia. Materials and Methods: The analysis in this study uses data from the 2017 Indonesian Nutritional Status Monitoring (PSG 2017). Multi-stage cluster random sampling was used in the PSG 2017. The sample used in this study was 149,571 toddlers aged 0-59 months. Data were analyzed using the Binary Logistic Regression test. Results: Toddlers in the Sumatra region have the possibility of 0.921 times stunted compared to toddlers in the Papua region (OR 0.921; 95% CI 0.880-0.963). The Java-Bali region was 0.805 times more likely than toddlers in the Papua region to be stunted (OR 0.805; 95% CI 0.763-0.843). The Nusa Tenggara Region was 1.394 times more likely than toddlers in the Papua region to be stunted (OR 1.394; 95% CI 1.315-1.478). Kalimantan Region has 1.161 times more likely than toddlers in the Papua region to be stunted (OR 1.161; 95% CI 1.103-1.223). The Sulawesi region has 1.184 times the possibility of toddlers in the Papua region being stunted (OR 1.184; 95% CI 1.128-1.243). Maluku region has a probability of 0.884 times that of toddlers in the Papua region to be stunted (OR 0.884; 95% CI 0.824-0.949). Conclusion: There was a regional disparity of stunted toddler in Indonesia.

“…Research by taking the theme of disparity between urban and rural areas in several countries also shows consistent results. Not only about the utilization of health services, including access to health information, which shows a disparity between urban and rural areas, including in China [24][25], India [26], Iran [27], Malaysia [28], and Africa [7]. Generally, development in rural areas in Indonesia tends to be slower than urban areas, including in the health sector.…”

Equitable distribution of health services between areas is still a problem in various countries. Even in developed countries. This condition also applies to the utilization of healthcare facilities for childbirth. To analyze the urban-rural disparities of facilities-based childbirth in Indonesia. The analysis in this study uses raw data from the 2017 IDHS. With stratification and multistage random sampling, 17,769 women aged 15-49 years with live births in the last 5 years were sampled. Data were analyzed using a Binary Logistic Regression test. Women in urban areas were probably 2.417 times more utilizing healthcare facilities for delivery than those in rural areas. Women with tertiary education were likely to be 1.709 times more utilizing healthcare facilities for delivery than those who don't. Richest women were probably 6.556 times more utilizing healthcare facilities for delivery than poorest women. Women who have health insurance maybe 1.437 times more utilizing healthcare for delivery than women who don't have. Women who know about the danger signs of pregnancy are more than 1.514 times more likely to utilize healthcare for delivery than those who don't know. Women who do ANC ≥ 4 times have the possibility of 1.729 times using healthcare facilities compared to those who do ANC less than 4. There were significant differences between women in urban and rural areas in utilizing healthcare facilities for delivery. Women who live in urban areas have a better chance to utilize healthcare facilities for delivery. The government needs to focus on women with low education and poor status. Interventions were needed by socializing the danger signs of pregnancy in rural areas. In addition, it was also necessary to expand the scope of membership of the National Health Insurance in rural areas.
