Abstract

Stunting is a linear growth syndrome that fails, according to the Ministry of Health, the stunting category is children under five with a z-score of less than -2SD called stunted. The Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) in 2018 stated that the incidence of stunting decreased from 37.2% to 30.8%. Hemoglobin is a protein complex consisting of heme containing iron and globin in which Hb is an important part which is the main oxygen-carrying pigment and is present in erythrocytes. Hematocrit is a measurement result that states the ratio of red blood cells to blood volume. The prevalence of stunting in West Sumatra is also high at 36.1% with 11.2% very short and 24.9% short. For the Solok Regency area, including the stunting rate No. 3 in West Sumatra. Methods This research is quantitative research with descriptive design with cross sectional approach. The research was conducted at Bukit Sileh Health Center. Children under five who are categorized as stunting are short 30 people and very short 30 people. Statistical tests were carried out using the Paired Sample t-test with a significance level of Sig.(2-tailed) <0.05. The results of the study the average hemoglobin level in short children was 10.74±0.35 while the average for Hb levels in very short children was 10.65±3.8. The results of the study the average hematocrit level in short children was 32.37±1.07, while the average hematocrit level in very short children was 32.31±1.27. Statistical test results obtained Sig. (2-tailed) 0.00 <0.05. Which means there is a significant difference. From the results of the study, it can be concluded that there is an effect of Hemoglobin Levels and Hematocrit Values in the categories of short and very short children.
