The incidence of malnutrition can increase the risk of morbidity and mortality of children. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors associated with the nutritional status of children under-five years. The research method used is quantitative with cross sectional design. In this study, using the method of Proportionate Stratified Random Sampling, the quantity of respondents was 107. The instrument used were a questionnaire and weight scales. The analysis data involved using chi-square test and multiple logistic regression. There was a significant association between environmental sanitation (p-value = 0.01, OR=4,95), history of exclusive breastfeeding (p-value = 0.001, OR=5,84), and a history of infectious disease (p-value = 0.03, OR= 3,51). There is a need for screening children under five with nutritional problems and improving health on community nutrition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
