Abstract

Introduction: Stunting in Indonesia, caused by nutritional defciencies from pregnancy until the age of two, remains above theWHO target despite a decrease in prevalence from 37.2% in 2017 to 21.6% in 2022. The detrimental impact of stunting on childdevelopment and the high rates in Indonesia underscore the importance of improving maternal and child nutrition to reduce thisprevalence.Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the efect of feeding patterns on the incidence of stunting in toddlers in thePonorogo District.Methods: This research is an analytical observational study with a case-control study design. The sample size was calculated usingthe case-control sample size formula with a 1:1 ratio, resulting in 44 cases and 44 control samples. The case samples consist ofchildren aged 1–5 years who experience stunting in the North Ponorogo Community Health Center area. The control samplesconsist of children aged 1–5 years who do not experience stunting in the same area. The sampling method used is simple randomsampling. Risk factor analysis uses the odds ratio (OR) value and a 95% confdence interval (CI).Results: There is an association between feeding patterns and the incidence of stunting, with an OR value of 14.54 (95%CI = 3.11 < OR < 67.86). There is no association between immunization completeness status and the incidence of stunting, with anOR value of 0.42 (95% CI = 0.14 < OR < 1.25).Conclusions: Based on the conducted research, it can be concluded that there is a signifcant relationship between feedingpatterns and the incidence of stunting in the North Ponorogo Community Health Center area. Inadequate feeding patternssignifcantly increase the risk of stunting.
