Prevalence and Behavior of Nutrition Aware Families Related with the Incidence of Stunting in Todller

“…The results of this study analysis showed that the most common indicators of Behavior of Nutrition-aware Families were still lack of nutritional supplements, namely Fe tablets and vitamin A (71.1%), regular weight weighing (67.2%), and exclusive breastfeeding for up to 6 months (56.5%). This study is in line with previous research that the incidence of stunting correlates with exclusive breastfeeding for up to 6 months (Lindawati et al, 2023;Hadi et al, 2022), visits to integrated health posts with child weighing (Prasetyani et al, 2023), and supplementation of Fe and vitamin A (Silaban et al, 2022).…”

“…Meanwhile, the last phase of 9-12 months of breastfeeding contains many amino acids for protein needs that function for optimal muscle growth. Thus, the growth of exclusively breastfed babies is optimal and can prevent stunting (Lindawati et al, 2023;Hadi et al, 2022).…”

“…Other Behavior of Nutrition-aware Families indicators that still need to be improved based on research conducted are the provision of Fe and vitamin A tablet supplements and weight weighing. Hadi et al (2022) explained that the role of Integrated Health Posts (Posyandu) in stunting reduction in Indonesia is critical, especially in efforts to prevent stunting in toddlerhood. According to the results of research on stunting prevention in toddlers through improving services at integrated health posts (Prasetyani et al, 2023) and the lack of iron and vitamin A tablets correlated with the incidence of stunting in toddlers (Silaban et al, 2022).…”

“…The integrated service post monitors the growth and development of infants and toddlers, which is carried out once a month by filling in the curve towards health (KMS); toddlers who experience growth problems can be detected as early as possible so as not to fall into chronic growth problems or stunting. Integrated service posts can be an indicator of the affordability of health services for toddlers because by attending regularly, toddlers will receive immunizations and other health programs, such as vitamin A and iodine capsules (Hadi et al, 2022;Prasetyani et al, 2023;Silaban et al, 2022). The Family Nutrition Awareness Program that has served, including toddlers, is expected to monitor their development and growth in vulnerable periods of infectious diseases and nutritional problems, so it is hoped that stunting in children can be prevented.…”

“…Five indicators of Nutrition-aware behavior from the results of the study have been shown to contribute to the incidence of stunting in children (Lindawati et al, 2023;Rosalina et al, 2023;Berawi et al, 2022;Nahak et al, 2022;Fitriah et al, 2021). Another study shows that there is a contribution to Nutrition-aware family indicators, namely weight weighing in Posyandu (Prasetyani et al, 2023), exclusive breastfeeding (Lindawati et al, 2023;Hadi et al, 2022), feeding practices (Quamme &;Iversen, 20220;Gunawan et al, 2022), iodized salt consumption (Abbag et al, 2021;Gunawan et al, 2022), Fe and vitamin A supplements (Silaban et al, 2022), against the incidence of stunting in children. However, research obtained different results that breastfeeding until the first 6 months did not correlate with the incidence of stunting, even further multivariate analysis showed exclusive breastfeeding was protective in mothers ≥ 30 years (Hikmahrachim et al, 2019).…”
