Secara global, stunting dan malnutrisi masih menjadi permasalahan
dibeberapa negara, yaitu sekitar 148,1 juta anak dibawah usia 5 tahun menderita
stunting. Begitu juga di Puskesmas Lubuk Basung yang mana pada tahun 2023
tercatat sebanyak 40 kasus stunting dan angka ini merupakan temuan tertinggi
dalam 3 tahun terakhir. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor yang
berhubungan dengan kejadian stunting. Jenis penelitian ini deskriptif analitik
dengan pendekatan cross sectional studyh. Populasi adalah seluruh balita di
wilayah kerja Puskesmas Lubuk Basung yaitu sebanyak 1564 balita. Pengambilan
sampel menggunakan teknik purposive sampling dengan besaran sampel sebanyak
94 responden. Pengumpulan data pada menggunakan instrumen kuisioner lembar
observasi. Analisis data meliputi analisis univariat dan analisis bivariat
menggunakan chisquare-test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 71,3%
responden dengan BBL normal, 78,7% kelahiran aterm, 76,6% responden jarang
mengalami penyakit infeksi, 51,1% ekonomi orang tua rendah, 58,5% ASI
eksklusif, 61,7% tidak stunting. Terdapat hubungan antara BBLR (p = 0,016, OR
= 3,418), kelahiran premature (p = 0,046, OR = 3,125), status ekonomi orang tua
(p = 0,009, OR = 3,458), riwayat penyakit infeksi (p = 0,011, OR =3,977), riwayat
pemberian ASI Eksklusif (p = 0,049, OR =2,566) dengan kejadian stunting pada
balita. Disimpulkan bahwa riwayat BBLR, kelahiran premature, ekonomi orang
tua, penyakit infeksi dan ASI eksklusif dengan kejadian stunting pada balita.
Diharapkan kepada semua pihak terutama pemerintah dan instansi kesehatan
untuk melakukan maksimalisasi 1000 HPK sebagai upaya percepatan penurunan
stunting

Globally, stunting and malnutrition remain significant issues in several
countries, with approximately 148.1 million children under the age of 5 suffering
from stunting. The Lubuk Basung Health Center also reported 40 cases of stunting
in 2023, the highest number in the last 3 years. This study aims to identify factors
associated with the occurrence of stunting. The study is a descriptive analytic
research with a cross-sectional approach. The population consists of all children
under five in the working area of the Lubuk Basung Health Center, totaling 1,564
children. A proportional sampling technique was used, with a sample size of 94
respondents. Data were collected using a questionnaire and observation sheet.
Data analysis included univariate and bivariate analysis using the chi-square test.
The results showed that 71.3% of the respondents had normal birth weight (BBL),
78.7% were born at term, 76.6% rarely experienced infectious diseases, 51.1%
had low parental income, 58.5% were exclusively breastfed, and 61.7% were not
stunted. There were significant relationships between low birth weight (p = 0.016,
OR = 3.418), premature birth (p = 0.046, OR = 3.125), parental economic status
(p = 0.009, OR = 3.458), history of infectious diseases (p = 0.011, OR = 3.977),
and history of exclusive breastfeeding (p = 0.049, OR = 2.566) with the
occurrence of stunting in children. It is concluded that history of low birth weight,
premature birth, parental economic status, infectious diseases, and exclusive
breastfeeding are associated with stunting in children. It is recommended that all
parties, especially the government and health agencies, maximize the 1000 HPK
(1000 Healthy Days of Life) program as an effort to accelerate the reduction of
stunting.
