Abstract

The main issue worldwide is wasting, which contributes to 45% of deaths in children under five years of age. In 2022, South Tangerang achieved 100% intervention for wasting toddler through a supplementary feeding program. Despite this, some toddlers still require additional supplementary feeding recovery (PMT) because their nutritional status remains unchanged. This study analyzed the factors affecting nutritional changes in wasting toddlers. The cohort study involved 46 wasting children in Serpong Districts who received PMT recovery during a three-month period. The secondary data required were anthropometric measurements of toddlers and history of infectious diseases during PMT-P consumption and can be found in the KIA Book. The primary data in this study included the characteristics of mothers and toddlers, the suitability of toddlers for consuming supplementary food recovery (PMT-P), and the history of infectious diseases in toddlers during the period of supplementary food recovery. Statistical analyses were performed using the chi-square test. The findings indicated a significant relationship between mother’s education (p = 0.014; RR = 13,462), supplementary feeding recovery (p = 0.002; RR = 11,500), history of infections (p = 0.003; RR = 8,143), and improvement in nutritional status in the Serpong Sub-District Health Centre. Many toddlers still have poor nutrition.
