“…Family income level is a protective factor against stunting. Given the 0.388 OR value found in this study, children with higher family income level will consume more nutritionally rich foods than those with lower family incomes (Beal et al, 2018), whose intake varies less in terms of quantity of various important nutrients for children's growth such as protein, minerals, and vitamins (Lestari et al, 2018). This is related to the high purchasing power of children with high family income (Nshimyiryo et al, 2019).…”

Introduction: Stunting is a condition characterised by retardation in the growth and development of children as a result of chronic inadequate nutritional intake and/or recurrent infectious diseases. This research aims to determine the factors related to stunting occurrence among children aged 6-23 months. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in 2019. The sample was 231 children selected by multistage random sampling technique from 13 Posyandu (integrated healthcare centres) in six administrative villages located across three sub-districts of the Central Jakarta region. Results: The results showed that the prevalence of stunting was 26.0% and minimum acceptable diet (MAD) was only met by 31.6% of the children studied. Chi-square analysis revealed that short birth length (OR=2.176; 95% CI: 1.155–4.098) and family income level (OR=0.388; 95% CI: 0.201–0.749) were significantly associated with stunting. Logistic regression showed that fulfilment of MAD, short birth length (OR=0.471; 95% CI: 0.244–0.909), and family income (OR=0.387; 95% CI: 0.197–0.759) were significant factors for stunting among children 6-23 months in Central Jakarta in 2019, with fulfilment of MAD as a dominant factor (OR=3.29; 95% CI: 1.171–9.241). Conclusion: More efforts need to be done to achieve the recommended MAD for all children aged between 6-23 months and to prevent short birth length. Large scale studies to explore the role of MAD in reducing stunting and qualitative studies to identify the constraints and promoting factors to better infant and young child feeding practices are imperative for programme improvement.

“…Studies have focused on the relationship between sex on stunting within PSAC, although the results were inconsistent. While several studies confirmed that stunting was more prevalent in male students than females (Batool et al, 2012;Ghaida Yasmin, 2014), another study reported the reversed result (Lestari et al, 2018), and others showed no major difference (Bogale et al, 2018;Mesfin et al, 2015). In this present study, we confirmed that sex had no association with stunting in PSAC.…”

Stunting is one under-nutrition condition that might be caused by inadequate nutrition consumption or frequent infection. Stunting prevalence in primary school-age children (PSAC) is still high in the third world and Indonesia. This present paper aimed to study the prevalence and the associated factors such as sex, school-area, and food intakes of stunting in PSAC in Sidoarjo, 2018. This study is cross-sectional research using secondary data from baseline data of emotional demonstration projects in primary school students. Two hundred students were recruited from four schools representing urban and rural areas in Sidoarjo. Food intake was interviewed using SQ-FFQ. Children height was measured using microtoice. HAZ-score was calculated using WHO Anthro Plus software. Student t-test was done to test any differences in stunting prevalence between sex and school areas. The Chi-square test was used to check the difference in proportion for categories. Our results suggested the stunting prevalence among PSAC in Sidoarjo was 18% and was significantly greater in the rural area (p= 0,010). School location has association with stunting (OR= 2,7; 95%CI 1,25-5,8). In conclusion, we did not find any significant difference in food intakes, although stunted children were more likely to consume energy and carbohydrate. This condition must be considered to prevent obesity in stunted children

“…The growth and development of children is still one of the problems that need to be considered by all countries, especially countries with lower middle income (Lestari, Fujiati, Keumalasari, & Daulay, 2018). Child development including physical, emotional and social development is very important, growth and development problem can cause a child to experience delays and become stunted (Curry, 2018;Goldin & Papaioannou, 2003).…”

Introduction: Stunting is the public health problem in the world, stunting will affect to child’s growth and development. This study aimed to analyze factors affecting commitment and ability of families to detect child development.Methods: A Cross sectional study in 130 respondents in public health center of Surabaya which fill of the questionnaire via google form, online research questionnaire collection with anonymously collected through social media, namely Telegram, WhatsApp, Facebook which was conducted in June - September 2020. Data collection was performed using chi square and multivariate logistic regression with P value < 0.05.Results: The dominant factors affected commitment in early detection of stunting was community resources with a value of P = 0.006; Exp (B) = 1,948; CI = 0.888 - 4.272, this shows that community resources affect commitment 1-4 times compared to other variables. Supporting was dominant factors that affected ability to detect early stunting, a value of P = 0.000; Exp (B) = 11,827; CI 1.757-79.610, this shows that supporting affects the ability 1.7 - 79 times compared to other factors.Conclusion: Commitment and willingness behavior in early detection of stunting in children is an important role that every parent must have with the full support of the family. The main factor affecting family commitment is community resources and the main factor in the willingness to early detection is support, both support from family, community and all parties involved in handling stunting.
