Abstract

Stunting remains a significant public health challenge worldwide, including Indonesia, characterized by chronic undernutrition leading to impaired growth in children. This study aimed to analyze determinants of stunting among children aged 24-59 months within the working area of UPT Puskesmas Kamaipura. An analytical observational case-control study was conducted involving mothers with children aged 24-59 months registered in the health center. Purposive sampling was used to select 128 respondents. Data were collected via questionnaires focusing on exclusive breastfeeding, complementary feeding practice (MP-ASI), infection history, and immunization status. Data analysis involved chi-square tests for bivariate and logistic regression for multivariate analysis with a 0.05 significance level.The results revealed a significant association between complementary feeding practice and stunting (p=0.000, OR=1.953, 95% CI: 172.638–22,093.730). After adjusting for other variables, only complementary feeding practice remained statistically significant as a dominant factor. Exclusive breastfeeding, infection history, and immunization status showed no statistically significant effect in the final model.In conclusion, improper complementary feeding practice is the dominant determinant of stunting in children aged 24-59 months in this setting, underscoring the importance of promoting appropriate complementary feeding to reduce stunting prevalence.
