Abstract :
Stunting is a physical growth disorder characterized by failure to thrivein children under five years of age as a result of chronic malnutrition and is the effect of an imbalance in nutritional intake that affects children with short stature compared to their peers. One of the factors causing stunting that has received important attention is helminth infection. This research was conducted in the working area of the Nagi Health Center with the research respondents being stunted children and healthy children aged 12 - 23 months. The sample of this research is the feces of stunting and healthy children. The purpose of this study was to see if there were worm eggs in the feces of healthy and stunted childrenand then calculate the ratio of the number of helminth infections. This type of research is analytical with an observational research design using a case control approach which aims to study the causes of an event retrospectively. The research subjects were children 12 - 23 months who were indicated to be stunted with healthy children with the object of research being soil-transmitted helminth eggs contained in the child's feces which were then examined by the direct slide method, using Odds Ratio analysis at a 95% confidence level to determine the P value. Based on the results of the analysis of the relationship between helminth infections with healthy children and stunted children, the Odds Ratio value was 4.125, which means that children who are indicated to be stunted have a risk of being infected with worms 4.125 or 4 times greater than healthy children. The P value is 0.057 > 0.05, so at the 95% confidence level the OR is declared insignificant or there is no significant relationship between helminth infection factors and the incidence of stunting. The conclusion that can be drawn from this study is that helminth infections are one of the factors that affect stunting but are not the main determining factor. The importance of maintaining cleanliness starting from oneself, family and the environment to avoid the possibility of being infected with worms, because even healthy children can be infected with worms if they do not apply a clean and healthy lifestyle.
