Abstract

BACKGROUND: Stunting is an adverse result condition of unfulfilled nutritional intake during pregnancy and early childhood, which affects the children’s maximum height and optimal cognitive potential. Stunting is influenced by numerous factors, both from the mother and children. Research has proven that factors related to mothers of children under 5 have essential roles in the incidence of stunting.

AIM: This study intends to analyze the influence of maternal risk factors on the incidence of stunting in children under 5 in districts/cities in South Sumatra.

METHODS: This study is quantitative research with a cross-sectional design, with secondary data sources from Basic Health Research 2018, carried out in 17 districts/cities in South Sumatra.

RESULTS: The mothers’ characteristics most significantly related to stunting in children under 5 in the South Sumatra region are the mother’s height and mother’s education. Mothers with a height <150 cm have a 1.547 times higher risk of having stunting children (95% CI: 1.281–1.868), and mothers with low education have a 1.521 times higher risk of having stunting children (95% CI: 1.094–2.116). Moreover, mothers with secondary education are at 1.473 times higher risk of having stunting children (95% CI: 1.073–2.020).

CONCLUSION: The maternal risk factors most associated with stunting in children under five in South Sumatra are maternal height and mother’s education.
