Abstract

The problem of malnutrition (Stunting) today is due to inadequate consumption. Furthermore, ecological issues are caused by insufficient food and specific nutrients and are also influenced by poverty. The limited social and economic level affects this. The potential for stunting is quite enormous because the purchasing power and ability of the family are minimal, so the fulfillment of nutritious food sources will also be limited. This study aims to see and analyze the linkages between social characteristics and economic characteristics of the control Stunting. The method in this study uses a Cross-Sectional Study approach, with a population of mothers who have children under five aged 0-24 months. The sample is purposive sampling, namely mothers of toddlers willing to be respondents as many as 74 toddlers who experience stunting. The results showed a significant relationship between social characteristics at the level of parental education with the incidence of stunting and economic aspects with stunting on total income. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the economic characteristics are significantly related to the incidence of stunting.
