Abstract :
- Stunting is a short stature in toddlers which
reflects a process of failure to achieve linear growth
potential which is still a severe nutritional status problem
in Indonesia. The stunting rate in East Lombok Regency
(43.52%) in 2018 was higher than the stunting rate of NTB
Province (33.5%) and National (30.8%). This study aims
to determine the dominant factor in Stunting Incidence in
Toddlers (0 – 59 Months) in East Lombok Regency. This
quantitative study used a cross-sectional design and
utilized secondary data from Riskesdas (Baseline Health
Research) 2018 with a total sample of 283 aged 0 – 59
months. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test and
multiple logistic regression. The results of this study
showed that there were 43.1% of children under five were
stunted. The results of the bivariate analysis stated that
there was a significant relationship between the birth
weight of toddlers, height, and mother's last education, but
there was no positive correlation between stunting and
gender, bowel habits, history of diarrhea, history of ARI,
basic immunization, vitamin A consumption, work status
mother, father's smoking habit, number of household
members, number of children under five, BMI, ownership
of MCH book, ANC, exclusive breastfeeding, area of
residence, and access time to the Puskesmas (public health
center). The dominant factor for stunting in toddlers (0 –
59 months) in East Lombok Regency, namely birth weight
(OR = 3,206). The conclusion of this study is that toddlers
who have a birth weight of <3000 grams have a risk of
3,206 times of experiencing stunting.
