Analisis Determinan Stunting Anak 0-23 Bulan pada Daerah Miskin Di Jawa Tengah dan Jawa Timur (Determinant Analysis of Stunting Children Aged 0-23 Months In Poor Areas In Central and East Java)
The child growth at the first two years is characterized by gradual development in linear growth and the increase in weight. The linear growth that do not fit with the child age reflects stunting problem. The purpose of the study is to analyzed determinant factors of stunting children aged between 0-23 months in poor areas of Central and East Java. This study used Riskesdas 2007 data. Samples are children aged between 0-23 months. Stunting status is measured by z-score height for age (H/A). The data is analyzed using univariate, bivariate and multivariate with logistic regression.
The results showed that 28.8 percent of the children are stunted. Determinant factors of stunting are child’s age with OR = 0.59 (0.44-0.79), sex with OR = 0.71 (0.53-0.96), urban-rural area with OR = 0.68 (0.48-0.95) and mother education level with OR = 1.56 (1.05-2.31). The result shows that samples who lives in urban area have protective effect or at 32 percent smaller risk to get stunting than those lives in rural area. Children aged between 0-12 months have protective effect or at 41 percent smaller risk to get stunting than children aged between 13-23 months. Girls have protective effect or at 29 percent smaller risk to get stunting than boys. Mother with completed educational level less than junior high school have 1.56 greater risk to have stunting children than those have higher educational level. Therefore, it is important to educate mother about food, nutrition, and health whoor both live in urban and rural, so they can apply the knowledge to their family without making any difference in carring and feeding base on child age and gender.
