Abstract

The prevalence of stunting in Indonesia is still high. Stunting is found to be
more common in rural areas than in urban areas. This study aims to determine
the factors associated with stunting in rural areas. We conducted a casecontrolled study in Public Health Center Jetis 1 Yogyakarta. We recruited 80
children with the purposive sampling technique. Data on birth weight and
disease history were taken from their medical records. Data on consumption
patterns of energy, protein, carbohydrate, and fat were collected through a
nutritional survey. Different proportions were tested using the Fisher test and
the mean difference was tested using an independent t-test. The results showed
that child stunting had lower energy and protein consumption levels than nonstunting children (p = 0.000). Diarrheal infection, frequency, and duration of
illness were more common in stunted than in non-stunted children (p<0.05).
Consumption of protein and energy was associated with stunting (p<0.05).
This research found differences in the incidence of infection, frequency,
length of illness, and hospital stay between stunted and non-stunted children,
and a significant association between the consumption of protein and energy
with stunted growth in children in rural Public Health Children.
