“…Consistent with these findings, there is a significant association between ANC visits and the occurrence of stunting in infants. Specifically, the quality of antenatal care, including the frequency of ANC visits and adherence to ANC service standards, demonstrates a significant correlation with the incidence of stunting (Wahyuni et al, 2021;Yenita, 2021). Health service factors such as antenatal care are associated with stunting in children under five.…”

Stunting is a chronic condition that results in stunted growth of children under five due to malnutrition for a long time. The objective of this study is to analyze the factors associated with the occurrence of stunting in East Nusa Tenggara Province in the year 2021. An ecological approach is employed in this study, utilizing secondary data obtained from the 2021 East Nusa Tenggara Province Health Profile report. This research was conducted from January to March 2023. Analysis was carried out on a total of 22 districts/cities, with a population of 388,760 toddlers which included the entire sample size, namely toddlers with stunting incidents totaling 81,354 toddlers. The main variable predicted is the proportion of stunted toddlers. Predictor variables consist of the percentage of ANC visits, the proportion of LBW history and the percentage of exclusive breastfeeding. Bivariate analysis involved the utilization of cross-tabulation to examine the relationships between variables. The results of the study show that the prevalence of stunting status in toddlers is in the moderate category (16.04-24.07%). This happened as the coverage of ANC visits in districts/cities was in the low category (40.0-61.6%), history of LBW in districts/cities was in the low category (3.0-6.6%) and breastfeeding exclusively in districts/cities that are in the high category (65.67-93.0%). Stunting among toddlers in the province of East Nusa Tenggara in 2021 is in the moderate category along with ANC visits in districts/cities which are in the low category, history of LBW in districts/cities is in the low category and exclusive breastfeeding in districts/cities is also in the low category. To accelerate stunting prevention in Indonesia, it is essential to have synchronized efforts in planning, implementation, and monitoring at all government levels, including villages. The active involvement of all stakeholders is crucial in achieving this goal. Keyword: Community nutrition, Ecological analysis, Secondary data, Stuned

“…According to research during the first six months of an infant, the prevalence of wasting was 5.333 percent for children who were exclusively breastfed, mixed fed, and formula fed, with no statistically significant difference between the three groups. Infants who were breastfed exclusively for the first six months of life showed lower rates of stunting than children who were mixed-fed or given formula (Maidelwita, 2019).…”

Introduction: Malnutrition in infants is not only caused by food shortages. There are some other factors that cause inadequacy in the provision of complementary feeding. According to previous research findings, malnutrition in infants and children is caused by the practise of providing complementary foods and mothers' ignorance about the benefits and proper way of breastfeeding, which influences the maternal attitude toward breastfeeding provision. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of counseling with a demonstration of the practice of complementary feeding on the nutritional condition of infants aged 6–12 months. Methods: This research is quasi-experimental research designed with a control group pretest and posttest. The study was conducted at the Health Center Pakan Rabaa Solok Selatan. This study was conducted from July-September 2020. Results: Before nutritional counselling practice, both groups' scores differed by 0.21 points, whereas after counselling practice, the difference between the control and intervention groups' scores is 0.52 points. Between the intervention and control groups, there was no significant difference in birth weight. Conclusion: The study found that there are significant differences between the nutritional counseling and demonstration with conventional nutritional counseling. So health centre should conduct nutrition education and demonstrations to improve the knowledge of breastfeeding regularly for the public as well as mothers whose education levels are low.

“…Other causes of malnutrition are socio-economic and cultural causes of malnutrition, which indicate a close relationship with the incidence of malnutrition (Abera, Dejene & Laelago, 2017). The determinant factors found were significant immunisation status, and a history of breastfeeding associated with poor nutrition (Maidelwita, 2019).…”

“…The proportion of malnourished children under the age of five was higher (17.8%) than the proportion of malnourished toddlers (14.8%). Malnutrition is prevalent among 17.5% of the population of West Sumatera, one of Indonesia's provinces (Maidelwita, 2019).…”

Objective: Malnutrition in children under five years old has been a public health problem for a long time. More than a third of all child deaths occur as a result of malnutrition. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of nutritional health interventions in improving knowledge, attitudes, and eating habits in malnourished children. Methods: A quasi- experimental design was adopted in this investigation. The size of the sample was 140. Participants were assigned in a random order of 1:1 (70 intervention and 70 control groups) in the area of the Seberang Padang Health Center. The intervention's effect was calculated using a difference in difference (DID) analysis. Results: The baseline findings revealed significant differences in sociodemographic (mother's age p=0.006; socioeconomic p=0.007; education p=0.002; occupational p= 0.011) and children's socio demographics (age: p=0.016; sex: p=0.042; birth weight: p=0.049; exclusive breastfeeding: p=0.001, immunisation status: p=0.001, infectious disease: p=0.001, vitamin A , attitude, and eating habits differed, indicating a significant increase in score from the baseline to the end line (knowledge: DID = 6.114, 95% CI = 5.556-6.673, p=0.001; attitude: DID =18.643, 95% CI = 17.043-20.242, p= 0.001; and eating habits: DID = 7.586, 95% CI = 6.556-8.615, p =0.001). Conclusion: The nutritional health intervention carried out for six months produced significant evidence of improved knowledge, attitudes, and eating habits in malnourished children. Policy planning and implications in Padang City, West Sumatera still need more focus on research that addresses child nutrition habit, as there is no research done in this area.
