Abstract
Abstract. Indonesia is a country with a high prevalence of stunting. One of the causes of stunting is the lack of complementary feeding to meet nutritional needs at the age of 6–24 months, which cannot be fulfilled if only breast milk is given. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between complementary feeding and the incidence of stunting in children aged 6–24 months at the Posyandu in the Work Area of the Cigalontang Health Center. This study used a cross-sectional method. The determination of sample size was based on the hypothesis test formula for two population proportions and obtained a sample size of 80. Univariate data analysis showed the distribution of complementary feeding and the incidence of stunting in children aged 6–24 months, and bivariate analysis was conducted to analyze the relationship between complementary feeding and the incidence of stunting in children aged 6–24 months using the test chi-square. Based on the results of univariate data analysis, it shows that the provision of complementary feeding to children aged 6–24 at the Posyandu in the Cigalontang Health Center working area is mostly inaccurate, and the incidence of stunting shows 30 people in the short category and 5 people in the very short category. Based on the results of data analysis using the method chi-square, a value of 0.197 (p > 0.05) was obtained, so that it can be concluded that there is no relationship between the provision of complementary feeding and the incidence of stunting in children aged 6–24 months at the Posyandu in the Cigalontang Public Health Center.
