Abstract

Stunting is a condition of failure in children-under-five’s growth as a result of chronic malnutrition. Thus, children become too short for their age. In Indonesia, the stunting rate has decreased from the previous year. However, the prevalence still exceeds the maximum stunting rate target set by WHO. Bandung regency is one of the priority areas for stunting prevention in Indonesia. The causes of stunting are quite complex. This study aims to analyze the relationship among children characteristics’, sociodemographic, sanitations factors and the incidence of stunting in the Bandung regency. The method used is a case-control study (retrospective), using a questionnaire and interviews to the parents, and observational method. The research subjects are children under five in Rancaekek and Majalaya District that is divided into 26 respondents for the case group and 25 respondents for the control group. The Chi-square Test analysis (bivariate) and the binary logistic regression (multivariate) are used to determine the significance of children’s characteristic, sociodemographic, and sanitation factors on the risk of stunting. The results show that the significance factors to the risk of stunting is the sociodemographic factors, such as mothers’ lower education (p-value = 0.017), fathers’ lower education (p-value = 0.003), and lower household income (p-value = 0.005). The sociodemographic factor that contributed the most is the household income (OR = 10.063; 95% CI = 1.079 – 93.898).
