Undernutrition in urban areas remains a serious public health problem in Indonesia. The study aimed to find out what factors were related to the nutritional status of children under five in the working area of the Limo Community Health Center, Limo District. Depok City, Indonesia in 2019. This research was conducted in June-July 2019 using a cross-sectional study design with a sample of 118 mothers who have toddlers aged 6-59 months in the Limo Health Center work area in 2019. The sampling technique used simple random sampling. The analysis was performed using chi-square (α = 0.05). Undernutrition is defined as the condition of children under five which is determined based on the anthropometric index measurement results of body weight for age with a Z- score of -2 SD to ≤ -3 SD, while good nutrition is at a Z-score of -2 SD to 2 SD. As a result, the prevalence of undernutrition was 16.1%. As much as 50% of the respondents had high school education and mothers with low education were 32.2%. The results showed a prevalence of working mothers (13.6%), family income < Rp. 4,600,000 (52.5%), mothers with low knowledge (25.4%), male children (53.4%), poor parenting (3.4%), and mothers who did not use health services properly (3.4%). There was a significant relationship between maternal education (p = 0.004; OR: 4,813; 95% CI: 1,711-13,537), family income (p = 0.006; OR: 6.145; 95% CI: 1.68-22.43), and maternal knowledge (p = 0.007; OR: 4.389; 95% CI: 1.57-12.23) with the nutritional status of children under five in the working area of the Limo Community Health Center. The suggestion is that the Limo Community Health Center make a program to increase the knowledge capacity of mothers regarding the nutrition of their children.

  ABSTRACT Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem in the period of growth and development since the beginning of life or in the First 1000 Days of Life. This situation is presented with a height z-score by age (TB / U) less than -2 standard deviations (SD) based on growth standards according to WHO (WHO, 2010). Based on the latest Riskesdas data in 2013, the prevalence of stunting in Kotamobagu City was 38.1%. This study aims to determine the relationship of diarrhea and nutrient intake (Protein, Vitamin A, Zinc, Calcium, Iron) to the incidence of stunting in children under five. This type of observational analytic study with cross sectional design. The number of samples as many as 41 toddlers taken with nonprobability techniques with purposive sampling method. The results showed that 70.7% of children with stunting nutritional status and 29.3% of children with normal nutritional status. 70.7% of children have had diarrhea and 29.3% of children have never had diarrhea. The results showed no relationship between intake of Protein, Vitamin A, Iron on the incidence of stunting in children under five in the Gogagoman Community Health Center. As for Diarrhea, Zinc intake, and Calcium have a significant relationship to the incidence of Stunting in children under five in the Gogagoman Community Health Center. Conclusion, there is a relationship between diarrhea, zinc intake, and calcium intake on the incidence of stunting.

Background: One of the efforts made in overcoming malnutrition in the toddler age group is by implementing a Recovery Supplementary Feeding program.Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze the differences in nutritional status of children based on weight for height before and after the Supplementary Food Recovery and differences in nutritional status of children after Supplementary Food Recovery and when they had not received Supplementary Food Recovery in the Simomulyo Community Health Center work area.Methods: This study was observational study using case-control design. A total of 38 toddlers with history of obtaining Supplemental Feeding Recovery (PMT) Program in the working area of Simomulyo Health Center were randomly selected. Nutritional status of toddlers is obtained using anthropometric methods of body weight and height / body length. Statistically tested using t-test paired with a significance level of <0.05.Results: After not getting Supplemental Feeding Recovery, it was found that 2.6% of children under five severely wasting, 34.2% wasting, and 63.2% had normal nutritional status. There was a decrease in the percentage of infants with normal nutritional status compared to after completing PMT Recovery program from 68.4% to 63.2%. There were no significant differences in nutritional status of children before and after the program (p=0.585). There was no difference between the nutritional status of children under five after the program and when they had not received the program (p=0.430)Conclusions: There was no difference in nutritional status of children (weight-for-height) before and after Supplemental Feeding Recovery Program.ABSTRAK  Latar Belakang: Upaya yang dilakukan dalam mengatasi kekurangan gizi pada kelompok usia balita adalah program Pemberian Makanan Tambahan (PMT) Pemulihan.Tujuan: Penelitian ini dilakukan bertujuan untuk menganalisis adanya perbedaan pada status gizi balita berasarkan BB/TB sebelum dan setelah Pemberian Makanan Tambahan (PMT) Pemulihan serta perbedaan status gizi balita setelah PMT Pemulihan dan saat sudah tidak mendapat PMT Pemulihan di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Simomulyo.Metode: Penelitian ini adalah peneitian observasional dengan desain penelitan cross sectional. Lokasi penelitian adalah di wilayah kerja Puskemas Simomulyo, Surabaya. Sebanyak 38 balita dengan riwayat mendapat PMT Pemulihan dipilih secara acak menggunakan metode simple random sampling. Status gizi balita didapat menggunakan metode antropometri berat badan dan tinggi/panjang badan. Indeks BB/TB digunakan dalam penilaian status gizi dengan alasan sasaran utama PMT Pemulihan adalah balita dengan status gizi kurus.  Uji secara statistik dilakukan menggunakan uji t berpasangan dengan tingkat signifikansi <0,05.Hasil: Setelah 3 bulan mendapat PMT Pemulihan ada peningkatan persentase balita dengan status gizi normal dari 65,8% menjadi 68,4%. Setelah tidak mendapat PMT Pemulihan ada penurunan persentase balita dengan status gizi normal menjadi 63,2%. Tidak ada perbedaan yang bermakna status gizi balita berasarkan BB/TB sebelum dan setelah PMT Pemulihan (p=0,585). Tidak ada perbedaan pada status gizi dapat disebabkan oleh konsumsi PMT yang belum optimal. Begitu juga diketahui tidak ada perbedaan yang bermakana status gizi balita setelah PMT Pemulihan dan saat sudah tidak mendapat PMT Pemulihan (p=0,430).Kesimpulan: Tidak ada perbedaan pada status gizi balita dengan indeks antropometri BB/TB saat sebelum PMT Pemulihan dan setelah PMT Pemulihan.
