Indian Journal of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology, 2021

Children who are malnourished for a long time can experience a failure to thrive, namely stunting.This situation occurs in many developing countries such as Indonesia. Stunting is a linear growth disorder characterized by a TB/U z-score less than-2SD. The study aimed to examine the incidence of stunting in children under five in terms of exclusive breastfeeding (ASI), complementary foods of breast milk (MP-ASI), immunization status, family characteristics. The research approach is quantitative with a Case-Control Study design and is carried out in West Java Province, with a sample size of 120 people. Data analysis includes bivariate using Chi-Square. The results showed that the incidence of stunting in children under five was due to low family income (p = 0.004; OR= 9.33), non-exclusive breastfeeding (p= 0.001; OR= 28.5), poor complementary feeding (p= 0.001; OR= 16), and incomplete immunization (p = 0.00; OR = 17). Stunting in children under five is closely related to low family income, non-exclusive breastfeeding, poor complementary breastfeeding, and incomplete immunization. Meanwhile, non-exclusive breastfeeding is a dominant factor as a risk factor for children experiencing stunting.
