Infectious disease is one of the direct causes of nutritional status problems in children age 0-59 months. Stunting is a chronic malnutrition problem that has received attention recently. The Koroncong village area had a total of 63 children age 0-24 months, with the incidence of stunting as many as 19 children (32%) in September 2019. Koroncong village was one of 10 locus stunting villages in Pandeglang. The purpose of this study was to increase the knowledge of mothers with children age 0-24 months about infectious diseases that contribute to disrupt child development and prevention, training cadres on how to anthropometric measurement children age 0-24 months to detect stunting. The method used One Groups Pretest-Posttest Design with counseling for mothers with children age 0-24 months and training of cadres and using total sampling for 63 mothers with children aged 0-24 months and 14 cadres. The results of research before and after counseling showed an increase in the knowledge of 50 respondents who attended, seen from the pretest and posttest mean value of 24.50 and also found p-value = 0.000 with the Wilcoxon test. There was an increase in the cadres' ability to use early detection stunting mats (p-value = 0,000) with the paired T test. The activities carried out are expected to increase knowledge and change the attitudes of mothers with children aged 0-24 months against infectious diseases related to stunting and their prevention, as well as improve cadres' skills in detecting stunting in children so that a healthy generation is created.

Stunting merupakan gangguan pertumbuhan yang terjadi akibat kondisi kekurangan gizi kronis atau penyakit infeksi kronis pada bayi / anak di bawah lima tahun, ditandai dengan nilai z-scorenya kurang dari -2SD/standar deviasi (stunted) dan kurang dari –3SD (severely stunted). Berat badan saat lahir merupakan salah satu indikator dalam tumbuh kembang anak hingga masa dewasanya dan menggambarkan status gizi yang diperoleh janin selama dalam kandungan. BBLR ialah Berat Badan Lahir Rendah kurang dari 2.500 gram, tanpa memandang masa gestasi. Data prevalensi balita stunting WHO, Indonesia termasuk ke dalam negara ketiga dengan prevalensi tertinggi di regional Asia Tenggara/South-East Asia Regional (SEAR), dengan rata-rata 36,4% tahun 2005-2017. Kabupaten Pandeglang memiliki prevalensi stunting tertinggi di Provinsi Banten, 21,9% untuk BADUTA (bayi dibawah dua tahun). Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif analitik. Rancangan penelitian adalah cross sectional. Responden tidak BBLR menjadi stunting sebanyak 170 orang atau 25.6%   tidak stunting 493 orang atau 74.4%, BADUTA BBLR sebanyak 16 orang atau 35,6% mengalami stunting sedangkan 29 orang atau 64.4% tidak mengalami stunting dengan p-value 0.144 atau p-value 0,05, OR 1,6 dengan 95% CI (0.848 – 3.019) atau CI. Hasil analisis bivariate menunjukan tidak ada hubungan yang signifikan atau bermakna antara BBLR dengan keajdian stunting di 10 desa Kabupaten Pandeglang

The period from birth to two years of age is a "critical window" of opportunity for the promotion of optimal growth, health and behavioral development of children. Dietary diversity is an important immediate determinant of stunting children also feeding patterns combined with household food insecurity can lead to stunting children which is a major public health problem in developing countries like Indonesia. A community based cross-sectional study that involved 120 participants from east Jakarta rural were conducted from February to March 2018. A consecutive sampling procedure was employed to select the required households. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to compare stunting by feeding patterns and other characteristics. The prevalence of child stunting in the current study Dietary diversity and child stunting 44 was 43.5%. Dietary diversity has association with stunting especially in the poorest economic status. Dietary education would be the most effective strategy to deliver messages about infant and young child feeding practices, especially on dietary diversity.
