Factors Related to the Event of Stunting in Toddlers Aged 24 – 59 Months in the Work Area of the Katobu Community Health Center, Muna Regency

Abstract

One of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is to end hunger and all types of malnutrition by 2030 and to ensure that everyone has access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food. Stunting, a developmental delay that often manifests itself in children older than 2 years old, is caused by persistent malnutrition throughout pregnancy and the first few years of life. In 2018, 27.7% of toddlers in Southeast Sulawesi were stunted, making it a significant public health issue. The goal of this study is to identify risk factors for stunting among children between the ages of 24- and 59-months old living in the catchment area of Katobu Health Center. Research method combining analytical observing with a case-control setup. Information collected via surveys, in-person interviews, the use of a height chart for children, and files from Katobu Health Center were analyzed. Birth weight and maternal upper arm circumference (LiLA) during pregnancy were not associated with a higher risk of stunting (each p value = 0.5). However, the odds ratio for stunting was significantly lower among children who were exclusively breastfed (p = 0.03). One of the ways to prevent children from becoming too short is to nurse them exclusively. Therefore, promoting advice on exclusive breastfeeding is important to improve toddlers' nutritional condition.

Stress Ibu Selama Kehamilan Merupakan Risiko Persalinan Prematur

“…Seperti yang kita ketahui, kelahiran preterm memperbesar resiko bayi lahir mengalami berbagai komplikasi yang dapat menyebabkan kematian. Kualitas hidup bayi preterm juga berbeda dengan bayi yang sudah cukup bulan, mengingat belum sempurnanya pembentukan organ dan sistem dalam tubuh (Sartina et al 2022;Sulistiarini and Berliana 2016).…”

“…Dampak dari bayi premature adalah bayi mengalami berisiko tinggi antara lain mengalami gangguan pada fungsi anatomi, fisiologi, dan metabolisme yang berhubungan dengan adanya kelainan atau penyakit yang diderita. Bayi prematur atau imatur tidak dapat mempertahankan suhu tubuh dalam batas normal karena pusat pengatur suhu pada otak yang belum matur, kurangnya cadangan glikogen dan lemak sebagai sumber kalori, Tidak ada atau kurangnya lemak subkutan dan permukaan tubuh yang relatif lebih luas akan menyebabkan kehilangan panas tubuh yang lebih banyak dengan demikian besar berpotensi bayi lahir premature untuk terjadinya staunting (Sartina et al 2022;Tawakkal et al 2022). Rumusan masalah di dalam penelitian ini adalah apakah stress merupakan risiko persalinan prematur?.…”

“…Good health services also include assistance in breastfeeding and providing advice related to healthy eating patterns for mothers and babies. By providing quality health services during pregnancy and after delivery, the potential risk of stunting in children can be minimized, providing a strong foundation for healthy growth and development in the future [1], [10].…”
