Abstract

Stunting menjadi masalah gizi dengan prevalensi kejadian tinggi di Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis hubungan pengetahuan gizi dan praktik pemberian MP-ASI dengan kejadian stunting di Kabupaten Timor Tengah Utara. Penelitian ini menggunakan data sekunder dari penelitian Better Investment for Stunting Alleviation (BISA) 2020. Desain penelitian ini adalah cross sectional study dengan jumlah subjek sebanyak 781 orang yang dipilih dengan metode purposive sampling. Sebanyak 15,5% subjek dikategorikan severe stunting dan 19,1% subjek dikategorikan stunting. Hasil uji hubungan menunjukkan adanya hubungan signifikan antara usia subjek dan pendidikan ibu dengan stunting (p<0,05). Sebagian besar ibu subjek memiliki pengetahuan gizi yang baik (47,9%). Hasil uji hubungan menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan gizi ibu tidak berhubungan signifikan dengan stunting (p>0,05). Sebanyak 80,9% subjek tidak memenuhi Minimum Diet Diversity (MDD), namun 85,8% subjek sudah memenuhi Minimum Meal Frequency (MMF). Terdapat 82,3% subjek yang tidak memenuhi Minimum Acceptable Diet (MAD). Hasil uji hubungan menunjukkan bahwa MDD dan MAD tidak berhubungan signifikan dengan stunting, namun MMF berhubungan signifikan dengan stunting.
