Abstract

The WHO (2018) said in 2017 by 22.2% (150.8 million) children under five has stunted. Based on basic health survey (Kemenkes RI 2013), the stunting prevalence in Indonesia amounted to 30.8%. The objective of research was analyzed the influence of sociodemography and maternal nutritional knowledge on stunting. The type of design was cross sectional study. The study was conducted in Kampung KB of Medan Marelan and Medan Belawan sub district in Medan. The population was all infants recorded in Kampung KB. The samples were taken proportionally as simple random 104 samples. Data was analyzed by chi-square test. The proportion based on the highest age in the 20-35 year group amounted to 72.1%, higher education (above Senior High School) of 52.8%, mother not working at 86.5%. The results showed that there was no significant influence between maternal age and stunting (p= 0,752). Although in the case there is no influence maternal age on stunting but the risk of greater stunting incidence in mothers whose reproduction age was not ideal. There is no influence between mother's education on stunting (p = 1). This is because higher levels of education do not mean that mothers have good knowledge of good nutrients. There is no influence on the work of mothers on stunting (p= 0,174). This is because the parenting pattern is not determined by the mother's work but the contribution of time given by mothers to children. There is a significant influence between mother's knowledge of nutrition on stunting (p = 0.001).
