| dc.description.abstract | Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive in children under five years of age
as a result of chronic malnutrition so that the child is too short for his age.
The prevalence rate of stunting in Indonesia is still above 20%, meaning that
it has not reached the target. Factors that influence stunting include birth
length and birth weight. The purpose of this study was to determine the
description of the factors that influence the incidence of stunting in
children aged 0-59 months in the working area of the Balung Public Health
Center in 2021. This research is descriptive in nature which was conducted
Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive in children under five years of age
as a result of chronic malnutrition so that the child is too short for his age.
The prevalence rate of stunting in Indonesia is still above 20%, meaning that
it has not reached the target. Factors that influence stunting include birth
length and birth weight. The purpose of this study was to determine the
description of the factors that influence the incidence of stunting in
children aged 0-59 months in the working area of the Balung Public Health
Center in 2021. This research is descriptive in nature, which was conducted
in the working area of Puskesmas Balung, Jember Regency in April 2021.
The population is children under five with age stunting. 0-59 months
recorded in the EPPGBM in February 2021. Sampling in this study was
carried out by total sampling, namely as many as 639 stunting toddlers. Of
the 639 stunted children under five, 347 were male and the majority
occurred at the age of 12-23 months, namely 150 under five. From 639
toddlers, it describes 516 toddlers with normal body length and 123
toddlers with short birth lengths. Meanwhile, the birth weight of 639
children under five shows that 422 children under five were born with
normal birth weight. From the data above, it can be concluded that the
majority of children under five with stunting in the working area of
Puskesmas Balung were born with normal body length and weight. For this
reason, it is necessary to carry out further research on the relationship of
several risk factors using statistical tests. In addition, it is also necessary to
look for other risk factors that can cause stunting in children | en_US |
