Nutrition Intake and Stunting of Under-Five Children in Bogor West Java, Indonesia

The aim of this study was to obtain a picture on the implementation of Sanitasi Total Berbasis Masyarakat (STBM) the Indonesian term for Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) among the families of fisherman in Eretan Kulon, Indramayu West Java. Participants of this Household Survey were categorized into two, namely households that have under-five children and households that have youth. Father or mother or any adult who live with under-five children or youth were purposively chosen as the participants of this study. In total 307 Households (HH Under five 51.14%; HH Youth 48.86%) participated in this study. Five pillars of STBM were used to develop a questionnaire for this HH Survey. The result revealed that among the five pillars of STBM, the highest mean score was in safe management of drinking water and food (Mean=4.08), followed by washing hands with soap (Mean=3.45), management of solid waste (Mean=2.79), management of liquid water (Mean=2.64), and open defecation (Mean=1.90). The result of this study indicated that not all families have latrines so that they still practice of open defecation. The study also showed that solid and liquid waste management is still not considered important to maintain health and environmental hygiene.

Nutrition Intake

Background and purpose: Studies on determinants of nutritional status in under-five children in Indonesia have been widely explored. However, most studies utilised only one out of three nutritional status indicators–weight/age, height/age, or weight/height. These studies also show inconsistent results. This present study aims to examine nutritional status in under-five children by using all three indicators and associated factors which include mother’s characteristics, nutrition intake, and child’s history of infectious diseases.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with a total sample of 100 under-five children who were randomly selected. Data on the mother’s characteristics, nutrition intake, and child’s history of infectious diseases were collected through structured interview with the mother, while data on nutritional status were obtained through measurements. Data were analysed using logistic regression to identify association between the nutritional status of under-five children with the mother’s characteristics, nutrition intake, and child’s history of infectious diseases.Results: There was no association between the nutritional status of under-five children based on weight/age, height/age, and weight/height with the mother’s characteristics and nutrition intake. However, there was an association between the nutritional status of under-five children and child’s history of infectious diseases with an adjusted odd ratio (AOR)=41.0 (95% CI: 12.10-139.14) for weight/age, AOR=3.52 (95%CI: 1.53-8.05) for height/age, and AOR=10.69 (95%CI: 1.31-87.11) for weight/height.Conclusions: Child’s history of infectious diseases is the only determinant associated with nutritional status in under-five children based on weight/age, height/age, and weight/height. Prevention measures are required to prevent infection among children by improving environmental hygiene as well as providing prompt treatment for infectious diseases especially diarrhoea and upper-respiratory tract infection.

Provinsi Jawa Barat merupakan wilayah peringkat keempat dengan kasus pneumonia terbanyak di Indonesia. Walaupun setiap tahunnya mengalami penurunan kasus, cakupan penemuan kejadian pneumonia pada balita masih jauh berada di bawah target nasional. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran faktor pejamu dan kondisi hunian dengan kejadian pneumonia balita di Provinsi Jawa Barat. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain studi ekologi dengan melakukan analisis deskriptif data yang bersumber dari Profil Kesehatan Provinsi Jawa Barat dan BPS Statistik Kesejahteraan Rakyat Jawa Barat tahun 2014 – 2017. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan distribusi frekuensi kejadian pneumonia balita di Provinsi Jawa Barat cenderung fluktuatif. Variabel yang mengalami trend peningkatan adalah: cakupan imunisasi, BBLR, cakupan ASI eksklusif, jenis atap tidak memenuhi syarat. Sedangkan gizi buruk, kepadatan hunian, jenis dinding yang tidak memenuhi syarat dan jenis lantai yang tidak memenuhi syarat cendrung mengalami penurunan. Penelitian ini menunjukkan pentingnya antenatal care, pendampingan ibu selama kehamilan hingga masa pengasuhan bayi. Selain itu, kersediaan rumah sehat akan berperan dalam meminimalisir pneumonia pada balita. West Java Province is the fourth ranked region with the most pneumonia cases in Indonesia. Although every year there is a decrease in cases, the coverage of finding pneumonia in children under five is still far below the national target. This study aims to determine the description of host factors and residential conditions with the incidence of pneumonia under five in West Java Province. This study uses an ecological study design by conducting a descriptive analysis data sourced from Health Profile of West Java Province and BPS West Java People's Welfare Statistics in 2014 – 2017. The results show that the frequency distribution of the incidence of pneumonia under five in West Java Province tends to fluctuate. Variables that experienced an increasing trend were: immunization coverage, LBW, exclusive breastfeeding coverage, bad type of roof. Meanwhile, poor nutrition, occupancy density, bad types of wall and floors are decrease trend. This study shows the importance of antenatal care, maternal assistance during pregnancy and the baby care period. In addition, healthy home will play a role in minimizing pneumonia in toddlers.

Stunting is a condition that occurs as the result of the disruption in the growth of height due to poor nutrition intake and nutrition status, repeated incidence of infection and inadequate psychosocial stimulation. In year 2017, the prevalence status for stunting incindence in Indonesia is categorized as high, reaching at 29,6%. This study was conducted to determine the correlation between nutritional intake of protein, calcium and zinc with the incidence of stunting. This study was an observational analytic research with a case control method, conducted to determine the correlation between exposure of risk factors and disease by comparing stunting groups with non-stunting groups. This study obtained a relation between depleted calcium intake and stunting incidence using the Fisher’s Exact test with a p value of 0.001 and odd ratio 0.056. A significant correlation of insufficient calcium intake with the incidence of stunting was found, yet there were no correlation between insufficient protein and zinc intake with the incidence of stunting.
