Stunting is a health problem affecting some children in Indonesia, both in rural and urban areas.

The Indonesian Nutritional Status Survey (SSGI) by the Ministry of Health shows that the prevalence of stunting in Indonesian toddlers reached 21.6% in 2022. Although this is a decrease from the previous year, it remains above the World Health Organization (WHO) standard of below 20%.

According to a Kompas Research and Development (Litbang Kompas) poll in early April 2023, several factors contribute to stunting in children. The majority of respondents (32.4%) cited malnutrition as the primary cause.

“Three out of ten respondents stated that child stunting is primarily related to insufficient nutritious intake,” according to the @kompasdata Instagram page on Monday, April 10, 2023.

Furthermore, 28.2% of respondents attributed stunting to maternal malnutrition during pregnancy. Other causes mentioned were genetic factors (16.2%), poor hygiene (4.8%), viral or bacterial infections (4.1%), and low socioeconomic status (2.8%).

Therefore, parental involvement is crucial in combating child stunting. This involves meeting children's nutritional needs.

This includes providing exclusive breastfeeding for infants under six months, regularly checking the growth and health of toddlers at Posyandu (integrated community health services), providing nutritious complementary foods, and regularly giving children food supplements and vitamins.

This survey was conducted through telephone interviews with 506 respondents from 34 Indonesian provinces between April 4-6, 2023. The sample was randomly selected from the Litbang Kompas panel respondents, proportional to the population of each province. The survey has a 95% confidence level with a margin of error of approximately 4.36%.
