Abstract

One of the ongoing public health issues in Indonesia is Stunting, which is caused by chronic malnutrition. Stunting in toddlers is believed to be influenced by maternal and socioeconomic factors. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between Stunting in toddlers treated at the Bagan Siapi-api Community Health Center and maternal and socioeconomic variables. The study used a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of mothers with children aged between 6 and 24 months. Univariate and bivariate procedures, including the Chi-square test and independent t-test, were used to analyze the data. The results of the study show that the average age of the mothers was 30.38 years, with a standard deviation of 3.82 years; the average mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) of the mothers during pregnancy was 24.86 cm, with a standard deviation of 2.92 cm; the average age of the infants was 14.11 months with a standard deviation of 5.46 months, and the average height of the infants was 77.32 cm with a standard deviation of 11.24 cm. Most respondents had a high school education (69.4%), were unemployed (97.6%), had adequate knowledge (56.5%), had no history of KEK during pregnancy (62.4%), and had a family income ≥UMK (64.7%). Stunting was detected in 47.1% of cases. Significant associations were observed between maternal awareness (p=0.017), history of KEK during pregnancy (p=0.046), family income (p=0.036), and maternal upper arm circumference during pregnancy (p=0.025) and the incidence of Stunting in toddlers. No significant association was found between maternal age (p=0.610) or child sex (p=0.500) and the prevalence of Stunting. This study found that Stunting in toddlers is influenced by maternal and socioeconomic factors. Therefore, efforts to prevent Stunting should focus on improving family economic conditions, enhancing nutrition education for women, and monitoring nutritional status during pregnancy.
