About

1. Type and Research Design A cross-sectional study design with a quantitative approach will be conducted. Cross-sectional research design is one-time research to find a relationship between the independent variable (risk factor) and the dependent variable (effect).
2. Time and Location of Research The research will be conducted for approximately six months in 2020 at Banten Regency (namely Tegal Ongok and Pasirkarang) and Sumedang Regency.
3. Population and Research Sample The population is children between three and five years old in the village of stunting locus.

The sampling method to be used in this research was quota sampling, namely 50 stunting and 50 healthy children from each Regency.

Full description

The variables studied will be the nutritional status of children between three and five years old, the characteristics of these children (age, sex, LBW, birth length, history of immunization, history of diarrhea, history of upper respiratory tract infection, food intake), mother and family characteristics (mother's age, mother's education, mother's occupation, father's occupation), home environment (aspects of the components of the house, aspects of sanitation facilities, aspects of occupant behavior), the composition of the intestinal microbiota. Data will be obtained through measurements, interviews using a questionnaire, and direct observation using a checklist.

Stunting anthropometric measurements are measured based on parameters of length/height according to age compared to the WHO anthropometric standards 2005 and the Indonesian Minister of Health Decree No. 1995 / MENKES / SK / XII / 2010.

The nutritional status of each child included in this study will be quantified using the WHO recommended three nutritional Z-scores namely, height for age (referred to in this study as Zscore

1. weight for age (referred as Z-score
2. and weight for height (referred as Z-score
3. .A structured questionnaire was used for face-to-face interviews with the respective child mother to collect sociodemographic information. In addition, age and anthropometric measurements (height, weight) based on the Department of Health Ministry of Indonesia The regulation will be recorded. For stunting, the thresholds for height-for-age are: 'severely stunted' (<-3 SD); 'stunted' (-3 SD to < -2 SD); 'normal' (-2 SD to +3 SD); 'tall' (> +3 SD). Furthermore, in order to obtain an overall measure of the nutritional status of these children, the children will be classified into weight-for-height categories: 'severely wasted' (<-3 SD); 'wasted' (-3 SD to < -2 SD); 'normal' (-2 SD to +1 SD); 'possible risk of overweight' (+1 SD to +2 SD); 'overweight' (> +2 SD to +3 SD); 'obese' (> +3 SD)
