Abstract

When toddlers don’t receive enough nutrients over an extended period of time, they develop stunting, a chronic nutritional issue that causes them to be shorter or shorter than their peers. Toddlers from low-income homes are particularly susceptible to stunting since it is a nutritional issue. This is due to the fact that low-income families typically struggle to provide for the needs of their entire family, including their toddler’s needs. Finding out how family economics affected the prevalence of stunting in children at one of West Sumatra’s community health centres was the aim of this study. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires to families who visited the community health centre which households with stunted children. By using observational analytic research to determine how the influence of family socioeconomics on the occurrence of stunting in children. The results of this study found that family income, prolonged malnutrition, history of chronic diseases, and postnatal care had a significant effect on the incidence of stunting. Providing information on stunting prevention is one of the ways the government is trying to lower the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia. Additionally, a regulation governing the acceleration of stunting reduction was released by the government. deciding on adequate funding allocations for initiatives aimed at reducing stunting. Coordinating efforts across ministries and organizations to fight stunting.
