Introduction: Stunting is currently one of the world's nutritional problems suffered by toddlers. This study aimed to determine the factors and incidence of stunting among children aged 12-60 months old in Indonesia. Methods: The design was a cross-sectional approach. This research was conducted in the South Central Timor Regency from February to August 2020. The respondents of this study were as many as 286 mothers and children. The sampling technique used in this study was purposive sampling. The questionnaire was used to identify demographic factors, infectious diseases, maternal care practice factors and stunting was identified by using the anthropometric measurement by WHO age-based height index (Z score <-2 SD). Chi-square and logistic regression were used to determine the factors associated with the incidence and the dominant factors of stunting. Results: The results showed a significant relationship between the number of children with  p= 0.000; mother's knowledge with  p= 0.000; and practice of complementary feeding with the incidence of stunting with  p=0.000, while the main factor causing the incidence of stunting in toddlers is the number of children, which is more than two people in the family (p= 0.000, Exp (B) = 0.137). Conclusion: The number of children is the primary factor causing stunting in South Central Timor. Therefore, health workers should increase health promotion and education about stunting and raise family awareness in running family planning programs to meet children's needs, including nutrition and control of childbirth.

Tuberculosis is a highly contagious disease caused by rod-shaped bacteria (bacilli) known as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The housing of East Timor expatriates in Indonesia is very close to each other, with unsanitary environmental conditions and poor ventilation, thus making this community vulnerable to disease transmission, especially of infectious diseases such as pulmonary tuberculosis. This study aimed to examine the attitudes and behaviors associated with preventing tuberculosis in the families of East Timor expatriate tuberculosis patients. This was a descriptive study with a survey and observational approach. The sample consisted of 36 respondents and data were collected using a questionnaire with 27 questions about attitudes and behaviors to prevent TB transmission. The average age of the respondents was 38 years old. 53% of respondents were male and 42% graduated from elementary school. The results showed that 69% had a positive attitude to the prevention of pulmonary TB transmission in the family and 61% mostly behaved well in their behavior to prevent pulmonary TB transmission. Based on these findings, health workers need to improve health promotion programs with family empowerment methods, as well as advocate for the Government to pay attention to the quality of environmental sanitation and increase the number of patients who recover from TB.
