Abstract

Background: The Maluku region encompasses thousands of islands. The study analyzed factors related to stunting among children under two years old in the Maluku Region of Indonesia. Study Design: A cross-sectional study. Methods: This cross-sectional study examined 4764 children under two years. In addition to nutritional status (stature), the study analyzed ten independent variables (province, residence, maternal age, marital status, maternal education, employment, wealth, children’s age, gender, and early initiation of breastfeeding [EIBF]). Finally, the contribution of various factors to stunting was examined using logistic regression. Results: Children in Maluku province were 1.13 times more likely than those in North Maluku province to become stunted. In addition, children aged 12-13 months were 4.09 times more likely than<12 months, and boys were 1.87 times more likely than girls to have the patterns of stunting. Children in rural areas were 1.10 times more likely to become stunted than those in urban areas (95% confidence interval: 1.06, 1.14). Divorced/widowed mothers were 1.88 times more likely than married mothers. Mothers of all education levels were more likely than those without formal education, and unemployed mothers were 1.07 times more likely than employed mothers to have stunted children. The possibility of becoming stunted was lower when the children were wealthier. Conclusion: Nine variables were related to stunted incidence, including province, residence, maternal age, marital status, maternal education, employment, wealth, children’s age, and gender.
群岛地区两岁以下儿童发育迟缓问题:2021 年印度尼西亚马鲁古地区横断面研究
背景介绍马鲁古地区由数千个岛屿组成。本研究分析了印度尼西亚马鲁古地区两岁以下儿童发育迟缓的相关因素。研究设计:横断面研究。研究方法:横断面研究:这项横断面研究调查了 4764 名两岁以下儿童。除营养状况(身材)外,研究还分析了十个自变量(省份、居住地、母亲年龄、婚姻状况、母亲教育程度、就业、财富、儿童年龄、性别和早期母乳喂养[EIBF])。最后,利用逻辑回归分析了各种因素对发育迟缓的影响。研究结果马鲁古省儿童发育迟缓的可能性是北马鲁古省儿童的 1.13 倍。此外,12-13 个月的儿童发育迟缓的可能性是小于 12 个月儿童的 4.09 倍,男孩发育迟缓的可能性是女孩的 1.87 倍。农村儿童发育迟缓的可能性是城市儿童的 1.10 倍(95% 置信区间:1.06, 1.14)。离婚/丧偶的母亲比已婚母亲高出 1.88 倍。受过各种教育的母亲比未受过正规教育的母亲更有可能生下发育迟缓的孩子,失业母亲比在职母亲生下发育迟缓孩子的可能性高 1.07 倍。孩子越富裕,发育迟缓的可能性就越低。结论九个变量与发育迟缓发生率有关,包括省份、居住地、母亲年龄、婚姻状况、母亲教育程度、就业、财富、儿童年龄和性别。
