BACKGROUND: Stunting is a nutritional problem due to linear growth failure in children under five, resulting in future health problems. Papua has a prevalence of stunting in children under five of 17.8% in 2018. AIM: This study aimed to analyze the influence of breastfeeding and consumption factors on the incidence of stunting in Keerom District, Papua Province. METHOD: This study was an observational study with a cross-sectional design. The sample in this study was 324 toddlers. Characteristics data and breastfeeding were obtained by interviewing parents. In contrast, data on the consumption of children under five were obtained using the Food Recall. Nutritional status was calculated using the Z-score obtained from measurements of body weight and height of children under five. SEM analysis was used to analyze breastfeeding and consumption factors on children's nutritional status under five. RESULT: The study results based on consumption (r = 0.052) and breastfeeding (r = -0.015) had a weak relationship with stunting incidence. CONCLUSION: There was a significant effect of consumption and breastfeeding factors on the incidence of under-five stunting.

Background: In December 2019, the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan spread to 49 countries, including Indonesia. The government imposed a policy of learning at home for students. Due to activity restrictions, eating habits, and body weight changes have been reported in several countries. Objectives: This study aimed to see the impact of learning at home on changes in eating habits during the Covid-19 pandemic in Papua. Methods: The research design was cross-sectional, during June - July 2020, located in the Land of Papua (Papua and West Papua Provinces), Indonesia. Data was collected using Google Forms and shared through the WhatsApp group network. The analysis was carried out using non-parametric tests. The study was performed using non-parametric tests. Results: This study showed significant changes in food frequency during learning at home, dietary patterns, how to get food, fruit frequency intake, vegetable variations, and fruit variations. Conclusions: Learning at home during COVID-19 changed eating habits, including food frequency, dietary patterns, and fruit and vegetable variations. Although the variety of fruits and vegetables is declining, both are frequently increasing.
