“…The presence of diarrhea has increased the odds ratio of stunting among under-five children. This is consistent with studies conducted in Sodo Zuria district, 30 west Gojjam zone, 41 Wollega, 42 and Bure-hora southwest Ethiopia. 26 This might be diarrhea causes loss of appetite, poor absorption of nutrients, and increased nutrient demand.…”

Purpose: Globally in 2016, 22.9% of under-five children were stunted. In Ethiopia, the current reduction rate was 2.8%, which was far from the global nutritional target of 2025. However, evidence on the prevalence of stunting and its associated factors in Janamora district was very limited. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the prevalence of stunting and to identify the risk factors among 6-59 months children in Janamora district. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Janamora district from February to March 2020. A multistage cluster sampling technique was used to select 845 study participants. Data were collected using an interviewer-administered technique from caregivers, and anthropometric measurements were taken from the child. An adjusted odds ratio and a P-value <0.05 were used to declare statistical significance. Results: The prevalence of stunting in this study was 44.9% (95% CI: 41.5, 48.4). The following conditions were significantly affected stunting: age of child 6-11 months (AOR=2.5 (1.18-5.29)), 12-24 months (AOR=3.38 (1.95-5.88)), 24-35 months (AOR=2.33 (1.35,4.01)), wealth status: poorest (AOR=2.79 (1.66,4.68)), poor (AOR=2.15 (1.29,3.57)), medium (AOR=2.09 (1.25,3.49)), good knowledge of mothers/caregivers on handwashing: (AOR = 0.64 (0.43,0.92)), presence of diarrhea: (AOR = 1.9 (1.23,2.95)), start complementary feeding at six months: (AOR=0.58 (0.39,0.88)), start complementary feeding before six months: (AOR=1.58 (1.07,2.34)), and large family size: (AOR=2.33 (1.70,3.21)). Conclusion:In this study, the prevalence of stunting was high. Being a younger child, living with a large family size, low wealth status, starting complementary feeding before and at 6-months, and diarrhea were provoking factors for stunting. On the other hand, good knowledge of mothers on handwashing during the critical time was associated with a low risk of stunting. Therefore, the nutrition programs need to give focus activities that enhance caregiver's handwashing knowledge at the critical time and to start complementary feeding at the appropriate age.

“…Selain itu, balita dengan urutan kelahiran ke-1 dan 2 diduga mendapat perhatian dan perawatan dari ibu yang cukup memadai sehingga kemungkinan risiko stunting kecil (Buckles & Kolka, 2014). Berbeda dengan penelitian ini, penelitian case control di perdesaan Ethiopia (Wondemagegn et al, 2017) menemukan bahwa balita dengan urutan kelahiran ke lima atau lebih ditemukan lebih rentan stunting dibandingkan balita dengan urutan kelahiran sedikit.…”

The prevalence of stunting is still high in urban areas. Maternal factors such as height, education, occupation, antenatal visits, and nutritional status have increased stunting in urban areas. The study aims to analyze the maternal factors that influence the incidence of stunting among children aged 24-59 months in urban areas. The case-control design study was conducted in May-July 2019 in Pasuruan City. Samples of 67 cases (HAZ < -2SD) and 67 controls (HAZ > -2SD) were selected by simple random sampling. Data on children's age, gender, birth order, education, occupation, pregnancy classes, and antenatal visits were collected by interviewing respondents using a questionnaire. Data on birth weight, maternal age during pregnancy, maternal upper arm circumference during pregnancy, and maternal height were obtained from the MCH Handbook. The chi-square test and Logistic Regression were used for data analysis. The results showed that the maternal nutritional status during pregnancy was associated with the incidence of stunting in urban areas (p= 0,010). In contrast, children's age, gender, birth order, birth weight, maternal age during pregnancy, maternal height, education, occupation, pregnancy classes, and antenatal visits were not associated (p> 0,05). The incidence of stunting was 3,37 times higher in mothers with MUAC < 23,5 cm during pregnancy (OR= 3,37). In conclusion, maternal nutritional status during pregnancy is the main predictor of stunting among children aged 24-59 months in urban areas.

“…Namun, hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada korelasi antara tingkat pendidikan ibu dengan kejadian stunting (Tabel 1). Penelitian sebelumnya juga menemukan hal serupa 35,49,50,51 . Hal ini diduga karena sebagian besar responden, baik yang memiliki balita stunting ataupun tidak stunting, berada pada kondisi dengan strata pendidikan yang sama.…”

Latar Belakang: Stunting masih menjadi permasalahan nasional dan global karena dampaknya terhadap kualitas sumber daya manusia. Pemerintah sudah mencanangkan berbagai program penurunan stunting melalui intervensi gizi spesifik dan sensitif. Namun, pandemi Covid-19 mengakibatkan beberapa program tidak dapat terlaksana dengan baik. Tujuan: menganalisis pengaruh intervensi gizi sensitif terhadap kejadian stunting pada balita usia 6-24 bulan selama pandemi Covid-19 Metode: Penelitian berjenis observasional dengan desain cross sectional. Penelitian dilakukan di Kabupaten Lamongan, Sampang dan Probolinggo pada Bulan Juni-Juli 2022. Sebanyak 455 responden terlibat pada penelitian ini. Data primer didapatkan dengan menggunakan wawancara dan pengukuran antropometri. Analisis data menggunakan uji chi-square dan regresi logistik Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ketersediaan jamban yang memadai berpengaruh terhadap kejadian stunting pada balita usia 6-24 bulan (p=0,008; OR=2,260; 95%CI: 1,238-4,125). Variabel lain yang berpengaruh terhadap kejadian stunting adalah usia balita (p=0,001; OR=3,205; 95%CI: 1,657-6,201). Kesimpulan: Akses jamban yang memadai merupakan intervensi gizi sensitif yang paling berpengaruh terhadap kejadian stunting pada balita usia 6-24 bulan selama pandemi Covid-19.
