According to the Indonesian Nutritional Status Survey (SSGI) report from the Ministry of Health, the prevalence of stunting in children under five years old (toddlers) nationally reached 19.8% in 2024.

This means that out of every 100 toddlers in Indonesia, 19 to 20 children experience stunting.

"In Indonesia, the prevalence of stunting remains quite high, although it has decreased in the last decade," said the Ministry of Health in the 2024 SSGI report.

Stunting is a condition where a child's height is lower than the average for children of the same age.

This condition can occur due to infection, lack of nutrient intake in the mother during pregnancy, or lack of nutrient intake in the child during growth.

"Stunting reflects chronic malnutrition that occurs during critical periods of life, from pregnancy to the first two years of a child's life," said the Ministry of Health in its report.

"This condition can cause permanent physical and cognitive developmental disorders, and potentially increase the risk of metabolic diseases such as insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease in adulthood," they said.

Broken down by province, the highest stunting rate in 2024 was in East Nusa Tenggara, at 37%.

Meanwhile, the lowest stunting rate was in Bali, at only 8.7%, as shown in the graph.

"The data from the 2024 SSGI can be used to develop various national and regional strategies to achieve the target of reducing stunting rates," said the Ministry of Health in its report.

"It is hoped that the use of this data will significantly reduce the prevalence of stunting in the medium and long term, and improve the quality of life and productivity of future generations of the Indonesian nation," they said.

This year's data only covers the prevalence of stunting in 36 out of 38 Indonesian provinces. Data from two provinces, Central Papua and Mountainous Papua, are unavailable because the sample size was insufficient.
