Abstract

Background: The incidence of stunting in children is not only related to being underweight in the mother. Changes in lifestyle in developing countries currently allow for household double burden malnutrition, one of which is Stunting Children and Overweight or Obese Mothers (SCOM).
Objective: To find out the factors related to the mother’s nutritional status of stunting children in Semarang City.
Methods: Observational research with a cross-sectional design, sampling using the consecutive sampling method. The subjects of this study were 94 pairs of mothers with stunting toddlers spread across nine integrated health centers in Semarang City. The independent variables in this study were age, parity, education, hormonal contraception, family income, food intake, dietary diversity, and physical activity. The dependent variable was the mother's nutritional status using Body Mass Index (BMI) with the Asia-Pacific cut-off: underweight <18.5 kg/m2, normal 18.5–22.9 kg/m2, and overweight >23 kg/m2. Statistical analysis of the logistic regression model was used to determine the relationship between the factors in this study.
Results: The percentage of the mother's nutritional status is 12.76% underweight, 31.91% normal, and 55.31% overweight. The multivariate results of the risk factors for underweight mothers were inadequate energy intake (p-value 0.046) and use of hormonal contraception (p-value 0.043). The multivariate results of risk factors for overweight mothers were parity > 2 children (p-value 0.009), use of hormonal contraception (p-value 0.010), and excess energy intake (p-value 0.011). Meanwhile, high family income (p-value 0.014) and excess protein intake (p-value 0.011) are protective factors against underweight mothers.
Conclusion: Factors related to underweight mothers are energy intake and the use of hormonal contraception. Factors related to being overweight in mothers are parity, the use of hormonal contraception, energy and protein intake, and family income.
