Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify the impacts of the mother's height and calcium intake on the incidence of stunting and the implications for child development. It was a cross-sectional study and involved about 78 children aged 3-5 years old from three early childhood education programs in Darul Imarah Sub-district, Aceh Besar District, Indonesia. Chi-square was performed to determine the correlation of the mother's height and calcium intake against the incidence of stunting, and impact of stunting on child development. The results showed that the height of mother (OR=4.0; 95% CI: 1.05 15.12) and calcium intake (OR=4.6; 95% CI: 1.37 15.69) had a significant correlation to the incidence of stunting, while to the child's development (OR=2.5; 95% CI: 0.82 8.11) had no significant impacts. This study could be one of the fundamental basic about the importance of nutritional intake in each life cycle so that the mother's height could be maximized.
