Nutritional Status Of Toddlers Research Articles

Pendekatan Machine Learning untuk Deteksi Stunting pada Balita Menggunakan K-Nearest Neighbors

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem affecting the physical growth and cognitive development of toddlers, especially in early childhood. This study employs the K-Nearest Neighbors (K-NN) algorithm to determine stunting status based on anthropometric variables such as age, weight, and height. The algorithm categorizes data using proximity between samples. Data from the Salatiga City Health Department in 2024 were normalized and encoded for analysis. K-NN was chosen for its ability to provide high-accuracy nutritional classification. Results show that the algorithm achieved 100% accuracy, precision, and recall at certain K values, particularly in the small K range (2-8), demonstrating its effectiveness in identifying nutritional status in toddlers. This study is expected to serve as a reference for utilizing technology and data analysis in early stunting detection, aiding healthcare professionals in designing more targeted and effective interventions. Additionally, it opens opportunities for further development to enhance diagnostic accuracy using machine learning technology.

Shaping Healthy Beginnings: A Systematic Review on the Impact of Parenting Styles on Toddler Nutritional Status

Shaping Healthy Beginnings: A Systematic Review on the Impact of Parenting Styles on Toddler Nutritional Status

Improving parenting and healthy nutrition for stunted toddler mothers through community service programs

Stunting is a significant public health problem, especially among toddlers, caused by chronic malnutrition and suboptimal parenting. This community service program aims to overcome these problems by providing relevant education and interventions to mothers of toddlers who experience stunting. This program aims to improve the knowledge and skills of mothers under five in terms of parenting and healthy nutrition, as well as encourage behavioral changes that support optimal child growth and development. This program is carried out through a series of educational activities, including training on balanced nutrition, how to serve nutritious food, and parenting techniques that support children's health. In addition, this activity also involves direct counseling and the provision of educational materials that are easy to understand by mothers of toddlers. The evaluation was carried out to measure the improvement of parenting knowledge, skills, and practices and their impact on the nutritional status of children. Early results showed a significant increase in maternal knowledge about the importance of balanced nutrition and healthy parenting. Practical skills in the presentation of nutritious food have also improved. Further evaluation showed that there was an improvement in the nutritional status of toddlers and a decrease in the prevalence of stunting in the target community. This community service program has succeeded in improving parenting and healthy nutrition knowledge for mothers of stunted toddlers. This intervention is expected to be a model for similar programs in other regions and make a positive contribution to reducing stunting rates more broadly

Socioeconomic Factors and Its Correlation with Nutritional Status in Toddlers: A Study in Papua

Nutritional status in toddlers is a critical indicator of overall well-being and long-term health outcomes. Malnutrition among children is persistent and continues to be an alarming burden, often linked to socioeconomic factors in Papua. This study aims to analyze the relationship between socioeconomics and the nutritional health of toddlers. This cross-sectional study involved 300 toddlers aged 1–5 years from working areas at the Primary Health Center (PHC) Remu, Sorong City, Papua. We collected data by conducting structured interviews with the mothers and measuring the anthropometric traits of the toddlers. Socioeconomics was assessed through family income, maternal education, and access to healthcare. We measured nutritional status using WHO standards for weight-for-age (underweight), height-for-age (stunting), and weight-for-height (wasting). We implemented the Pearson and Spearman correlation tests for data analysis. The results indicated family income (p < 0.05), maternal education (p < 0.05), and access to healthcare (p < 0.05) were significantly correlated with nutritional status. This study highlights the significant influence of socioeconomic status on the nutritional status of toddlers in Papua. Toddlers from families with higher income, better maternal education, and enhanced accessibility to healthcare had better nutritional outcomes, with lower rates of stunting, wasting, and underweight. These findings suggest the need for targeted interventions aimed at improving socioeconomic conditions and enhancing access to nutritional and healthcare services in Papua, particularly in rural and remote areas, to reduce malnutrition and promote better health outcomes for children.
