“…In con guration 11, both conditions of social capital are present simultaneously, in line with Glanville et al's view that "the effects of trust and social networks may be conditional on one another" [57], but even so, both conditions need to be complemented by high levels of education and high levels of income satisfaction to achieve good general health. Better interpersonal relationships indicate relatively high levels of social interaction, which leads to more health information[58], and trust in others facilitates the translation of this information into action, but this translation needs to be supported by high income, which is consistent with dependency theory [59].…”

Background The debate on the relationship between social capital and health is still ongoing. In order to enhance previous research, this study uses data from China to analyze the situations under which social capital is related to good health and the various configurations that result in good health outcomes. Methods Using CFPS data, conditions of age, gender, marriage, education, income, structural social capital and cognitive social capital were included to analyze sufficient necessary conditions for achieving good general health and their different configurations using the fsQCA method. Results All of the conditions that were listed, both in their states of presence and absence, were not prerequisites for excellent general health. The sufficiency analysis produced 11 configurations with an average of 3–4 conditions per configuration, and no configurations in which the condition of social capital was present alone. Structured social capital or cognitive social capital showed a negative state in configurations 1 and 2. The most prevalent factor in all configurations was the condition of age. Conclusions The relationship between social capital and health was both positive and negative, with cognitive social capital playing a larger role in the positive relationship than structural social capital. Social capital is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition for health, and it must be combined with a variety of other factors to promote health. There are a variety of methods to promote an individual's health, as different populations require different routes to good general health and a single route does not apply to all populations. In the Chinese population, an individual's age is a significant determinant in determining their health status.

“…Previous empirical studies of the relationship between social capital and health [ 11 ] have shown that age is an important sociodemographic variable, and the results also suggest a negative relationship with health. In a configuration study conducted using data from the European Social Survey, age did not have such a significant impact [ 1 ], which might imply, to some extent, that age is a more important factor with regard to the health of the Chinese population than to the health of the population in Europe, a point which requires our attention. The next two more important conditions are education and job income satisfaction, both of which appear in more than half of the configurations and both of which appear as core conditions.…”

“…A study employing a qualitative comparative analysis approach was used to investigate the link between social capital and health, proving the method's viability. However, the applicability of this study is limited because it was an exploratory study based on data drawn from the European Social Survey and did not take marriage and education into account [ 1 ]. To explore the relationship between social capital and health in further detail from a configuration perspective, this study uses data drawn from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS), incorporates multiple conditions, such as marriage and education, and applies the fsQCA method.…”

Social capital is neither a necessary nor a sufficient condition for health, and it must be combined with a variety of other factors to promote health.

“…Human nature must remain the foundation for structuring social life. 21 The families really believe in myths as a source of truth, so the desire to restore nature as a compass in organizing social life can actually be intervened through internalizing local values. 17 This means that this irrational family typology can be extracted well by combining mythological beliefs with the truth of science, so that positive (affirmative) extraction of social capital leads to stunting-free families through effective management of the three basic components of social capital, namely networks, trust, and norms.…”

Introduction: The problem of stunting is caused by many factors, including geographical, social, and political problems. The role of social capital has been shown to impact economic development and health in some countries, including the problem of stunting, but has not been widely studied. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of social capital on the incidence of stunting in South Cikarang Sub District, Bekasi Regency. Methods: The type of study is observational with a cross-sectional design. The population had 106 neighborhoods as respondents, with simple random sampling technique, and a total sample of 91 people. The research instrument uses a questionnaire whose validity and reliability have been tested. The independent variables studied were 7 variables. Univariate in the form of frequency distribution, Bivariate analysis using chi square followed by logistic regression to obtain a predictive model using SPSS Version 24. Result: 65.9% of neighborhoods have stunting rates in their area. This figure is still above the government's target. Of the 7 variables studied, all of them are related to the incidence of stunting. Suprastructure variables with p=0.001, community participation with p=0.004, community empowerment in development with p=0.001, community control in development and stunting events with a value of p=0.001, motives of empowerment in development with p=0.004, the existence of cadres as agents of change with p=0.001, involvement of various stakeholders with p=0.001. The most dominant factor is the suprastructure of various stakeholders, with p=0.001. The most dominant factor is the t variable, with OR=49.398 at 95% of CI (3.623–673.6). Predictive models are produced so that preventive efforts are expected to reduce the incidence of stunting. Conclusion: The high incidence of stunting in the neighborhood area shows that the social capital of the community still needs to be improved in handling stunting. Community groups in the neighborhoods that have poor suprastructure will be at risk of their area having a stunting incidence.Keywordsocial capital, stunting, incidence
