Abstract

Stunting (children’s height-for-age below the standard) remains a major nutritional challenge in Indonesia, with Musi Rawas Regency ranking first for stunting in South Sumatra Province in 2022, recording a prevalence of 25.4% and becoming one of the priority areas for intervention. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between child characteristics and serum ferritin levels with the incidence of stunting among children aged 6–59 months. The research was conducted in Tuah Negeri Subdistrict, Musi Rawas Regency, using a cross-sectional design. Respondents consisted of 80 children aged 6–59 months who met the inclusion criteria and were selected through consecutive sampling. Data were collected through interviews using a structured questionnaire, anthropometric measurements based on height-for-age (H/A), and serum ferritin levels measured by spectrophotometry. Data analysis was carried out univariately, bivariately using Chi-Square and Fisher’s Exact tests, and multivariately using logistic regression. The results showed that among the 80 children aged 6–59 months, the majority were not stunted (81.3%) and came from families with incomes below the regional minimum wage (83.8%). Bivariate analysis revealed that variables significantly associated with stunting were birth weight (p = 0.004; PR = 5.455; 95% CI: 2.708–10.985) and serum ferritin levels (p = 0.009; PR = 0.242; 95% CI: 0.085–0.695), whereas age, sex, exclusive breastfeeding history, infectious diseases, and family income did not show statistically significant associations. Birth weight was identified as the most dominant factor influencing stunting in Tuah Negeri Subdistrict, Musi Rawas Regency. Therefore, education during the preconception and pregnancy periods is essential—particularly in preventing low birth weight and iron-deficiency anemia—so as to contribute to reducing the incidence of stunting. Keywords : Iron deficiency anemia, serum ferritin levels, characteristics, stunting
