Background
Behind
The Republic of Indonesia's Ministry of Health defines toddlers as children aged 0-59 months. Toddlers
need appropriate and balanced nutrition, as healthy food con tains essential components
required by the body to support its growth and development. Toddlers are particularly
vulnerable to nutritional deficit problems. One of these often-endless nutritional problems is
stunting.
Stunting is diagnosed by measuring the anthropometry index of the body's height based on
the person's age. A basic health research finding in 2013 explained that the stunting
prevalence in Indonesia is 37.3%.
The stunting prevalence in DKI Jakarta reached 26.6%, even though it is the government
center and thus, nutritional issues should be resolved more quickly. WHO outlined that a
society's health issues should be consid- ered alarming if the stunting prevalence is between
30 and 39%. The prevalence is considered serious if the percent- age reaches 40%. WHO has
determined that the stunting prevalence limit is 20% for all countries of the world.
 Study Data Population
and Design

in this study, the proportion of boys and girls. similar. The majority of
family heads (75.5%) had high education, and the majority of mothers
(64.1%) had low education.Friedman revealed that parents' level of
education can influence their mindset and efforts to resolve various
family problems through information.
The results of the bivariate analysis show that gender does not have a
significant effect on the incidence of stunting in children. This study is in
line with Rengma, Bode, and Mondal, who found that gender did not
affect the prevalence of stunting in children.
DISCUSSION

Statistical tests show that the education level of the head of the family
1
has a significant effect on the occurrence of stunting. This is in line with
Semba, Pee, Sun, Sari, Akhtar Research, and Bloem. which shows that
parents with a higher level of education are generally more aware of
family health, especially in managing nutritional parenting patterns
for their children.

The results of the bivariate analysis show that the level of community
education also has a significant effect on the incidence of stunting in
children. It was found that the OR value was 2,440, meaning that
mothers with a lower level of education had a 2,440 times higher risk of
having stunted children.
bivariate also concluded that the head of the family being unemployed had a
significant relationship with this incident. low stunting in children. Based on the
analysis, the OR value is 1.045. This reflects that an unemployed head of a family
has a 1.045 times higher chance of having a child suffering from stunting.

Statistical test The results of the study show that family knowledge about nutritional
parenting patterns is significantly related to the incidence of stunting in toddlers. The
OR value in the analysis results is 3.289. This shows that families with poor
knowledge about nutritional parenting have a 3,289 times higher chance of having
stunted children.
 Data Analysis

Another bivariate analysis that is highlighted in this research is that poor parenting
patterns can increase the chance of stunting by up to 51.1%, while good parenting
patterns can reduce the incidence of stunting by up to 73.5%.

Hasanah's research shows that poor nutritional parenting for toddlers is 27 times more
likely for children to experience stunting, due to malnutrition.

Multivariate analysis shows that household income has the most dominant role in the
occurrence of stunting in children under five.
 CONCLUSION

This research describes the relationship between the prevalence of stunting in toddlers and
birth weight, mother's age, education level of the head of the family, mother's education,
occupation of the head of the family, and family nutrition parenting patterns and
knowledge. attitudes and behavior towards nutritional intake in South Jakarta. There are
6,625 families with incomes below the minimum wage. children who experience stunting
are times higher than those who earn above the regional minimum wage.
