Analyzing Factors Affecting Stunting, Wasting, and Underweight in Toddlers in Padang Pariaman Regency
Abstract
Stunting, wasting and being underweight are some of the significant health issues observed in Indonesia. A program called Community-Based Nutrition Recording and Reporting (e-PPGBM) is used to identify the prevalence of child malnutrition. This study aimed to use the e-PPGBM tool to examine the variables that affect toddlers’ stunting, wasting, and underweight due to malnutrition. This study used cross-sectional research and quantitative analysis as its methodology. Using total sampling, 574 respondents were chosen as the samples, with the appropriate details: 316 people had stunting, 191 had wasting, and 67 had underweight. The findings of this study revealed a correlation of the occurrence of stunting with the exposure to cigarettes (26.6%), basic immunization (86.1%), helminthiasis (61.1%), and clean water facilities (4.7%), as well as the occurrence of wasting with the exposure to cigarettes (79.1%), incomplete basic immunization (26.7%), helminthiasis (6.8 %), and a lack of clean water facilities (12.6%). However, there was no statistically significant factor linked to the occurrence of underweight. As a result, this study recommends using a multi-strategy approach to address the root causes and immediate problems of under-five malnutrition.
Keywords: stunting, wasting, underweight, nutrition, e-PPGBM.
