The Ministry of Health maps the prevalence of under-five children (aged 0-59 months) experiencing nutritional problems in Indonesia, including:

Stunting: Children have a shorter height than the average for their age, due to chronic malnutrition over a long period.
Underweight: Children have a lower weight than the average for their age, due to acute malnutrition.
Wasting: Children have a low weight relative to their height, due to acute malnutrition.
Overweight: Children have an excessive weight compared to their ideal weight for their age, due to an imbalance in nutritional intake.
Severe wasting: Children suffer from severe wasting, due to poor nutrition.

Nationally, the prevalence of under-five children experiencing stunting is the highest compared to other nutritional problems.

Here are the details of the prevalence of under-five children with nutritional problems in Indonesia based on nutritional status in 2024:

Stunting: 19.8%
Underweight: 16.8%
Wasting: 6.2%
Overweight: 3.4%

The Ministry of Health obtained this data based on a survey in 514 districts/cities spread across 38 provinces of Indonesia, involving a sample of 345,000 households with under-five children.
