Subject
Body weight, Exclusive breastfeeding, MP-ASI, Energy intake, Stunting, Toddlers
Description
The incidence of stunting in toddlers is a global nutritional problem. Stunting
causes delays in fine motor and gross motor development, increases
morbidity and mortality rates, and increases the risk of metabolic disorders
in adulthood. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship
between body weight, exclusive breastfeeding, MP-ASI (weaning foods) and
energy intake with stunting in toddlers aged 24-59 months. This research is
descriptive analytical with a cross sectional design. The sample consisted of
92 participants selected using simple random sampling technique. Data
collected with body weight measurements for birth weight, exclusive
breastfeeding and MP-ASI questionnaires, energy intake calculate using daily
energy requirements calculator, and stunting incidence questionnaire. Data
analysis was carried out using the Chi-square test (P<0.05). The results of the
study explain that there is a relationship between body weight (p=0.000),
exclusive breastfeeding (p=0.003), MP-ASI (p=0.004) and energy intake
(p=0.000) with the incidence of stunting in toddlers aged 24–59 months. The
research conclusion is that there is a relationship between body weight,
exclusive breastfeeding, complementary foods and energy intake with the
incidence of stunting in toddlers aged 24-59 months.
