Relationship between maternal characteristics and stunting in children aged 0 to 23 months in the Philippines

Introduction: Stunting is the most prevalent form of child malnutrition worldwide, and is the best overall indicator of growth. This study aimed to determine the relationship between maternal characteristics and nutritional status of children aged 0-23 months based on their length/height-for-age. Method: The study used data from the 2015 Updating Survey conducted by the Philippines’ Food and Nutrition Research Institute – Department of Science and Technology. It employed a stratified multi-stage sampling technique covering all regions in the Philippines. Mothers (n=5,254) of sampled children 0-23 months were the respondents of the Maternal Health and Nutrition survey. The length-for-age z-scores (LAZ) of children and maternal characteristics were analysed. Rao-Scott Chi-square test was used for association analysis. Logistic regression was performed for model fitting. Results: A quarter (25.2%) of children aged 0-23 months in the Philippines at the time of the survey were stunted, with the highest prevalence (36.2%) observed among 12-23 months. Children being stunted or normal in height was associated with prenatal services, maternal nutritional status, education, and duration of lactation. Maternal education (OR: 0.39; p=0.012), age-appropriate breastfeeding (OR: 0.63; p=0.042), and prenatal services like tetanus toxoid vaccination (OR: 0.67; p=0.011) and ultrasound (OR: 0.71; p=0.025) lowered the likelihood of a child being stunted. Conclusion: It is recommended to strengthen and intensify service delivery among pregnant and lactating women because of the implication of maternal factors to the length-for-age status of children 0-23 months.

Wasting dapat mengakibatkan terhambatnya pertumbuhan balita serta mempengaruhi produktivitasnya kelak. Ibu berperan besar dalam mempengaruhi pemenuhan kebutuhan asupan anak. Karakteristik serta pengetahuan gizi ibu mempunyai peranan dalam mencapai status gizi yang sesuai untuk anak.Tujuan: Menganalis hubungan karakteristik ibu (pendidikan dan pekerjaan) dan pengetahuan gizi ibu dengan status gizi (BB/TB) dari balita usia 6-59 bulanMetode: Jenis penelitian ini merupakan penelitian observasional dengan rancangan desain cross-sectional. Penelitian dilselenggarakan pada bulan Oktober 2018 di wilayah kerja dari Puskesmas Kesamben Ngoro Kabupaten Jombang, Jawa Timur. Sampel penelitian yaitu 91 balita usia 6-59 bulan. Pemilihan sampel dilakukan dengan teknik random sampling. Variabel independen adalah karakteristik ibu (pendidikan dan pekerjaan) dan pengetahuan gizi ibu. Variabel dependen yang diteliti adalah status gizi balita dengan indeks antropometri berat badan menurut tinggi badan (BB/TB). Uji statistik yang digunakan yaitu chi square dan uji spearman.Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya hubungan yang signifikan antara pekerjaan ibu dan status gizi anak usia 6-59 bulan (p = 0,001) sedangkan pendidikan ibu (p = 0,080) dan pengetahuan gizi ibu (p = 0,593) tidak berhubunganKesimpulan: Status gizi balita (BB/TB) berhubungan terhadap pekerjaan ibu.

SummaryIn Ethiopia, despite some recent improvements, the health and nutritional status of children is very poor. A better understanding of the main socioeconomic determinants of child health and nutrition is essential to address the problem and make appropriate interventions. In the present study, an attempt is made to explore the effect of maternal characteristics on the health and nutritional status of under-five children using the 2005 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey. The health and nutritional status of children are measured using the two widely used anthropometric indicators height-for-age (HAZ) and weight-for-height (WHZ). In the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimation, it is observed that maternal characteristics have a significant impact on child health and nutritional status. The magnitudes of the coefficients, however, are found to slightly increase when maternal education is instrumented in the 2SLS estimation. Moreover, in the quantile regression (QR) estimation, the impacts of maternal characteristics are observed to vary between long-term and current child health and nutritional status.
