Abstract

The prevalence of stunting nationally has increased from 35,6 (2010) to 37,2% (2013) and to 30,8% (2018), while data from the results of the 2017 Nutritional Status Monitoring (PSG) shows that the percentage of stunted toddlers in the toddler group (29,6%) is greater when compared to toddlers (20,1%) (Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, 2018). The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between pregnancies in mothers of high risk age and chronic energy deficiency with the incidence of stunting in the Rasabou Community Health Center Working Area.The population in this study were all toddlers < 2 (two) years old who were in the working area of the Rasabou Health Center, Hu’u District, District Dompu. The type of research used in this research is observational description with a cross sectional design which explains cause and effect relationships. The research results shows that as many as 23 people or 71,9% of those with high risk ages and children experience stunting (short) and as many as 9 people or 28,1% of mothers with high risk ages with children in the stunting category (very short). Meanwhile, there were 12 mothers whose age was not at high risk or 60,0% of their children were stunted (very short) and 8 people or 40,0% were in the stunted (short) category. The results of the research analysis show that there is a significant relationsip between the mother’s age at risk and the incidence of stunting (p-value Chi Square Tst = 0,023 < ? 0,005). It is further recommended that: 1) For mothers: The results of this research can be a basis for information for preparing oneself for pregnancy and meeting energy needs as well as being a guide in caring for children; 2) For Health Officers: The results of this research are the basis for preparing maternal and child health programs, health counseling for adolescents and mothers of productive age as well as making proposals for supporting stunting prevention policies.
