Abstract (1131 Views)
Aims: Teenage mothers face unique vulnerabilities due to their lack of physical readiness and limited knowledge in child-rearing. This study investigated how maternal education influences stunting in children under two years old among teenage mothers in Indonesia.
Instrument & Methods: This cross-sectional analysis was conducted using data from the 2022 Indonesian National Nutritional Status Survey, covering 2,254 children under two years old. Place of residence, marital status, employment, antenatal care, child age, gender, and early initiation of breastfeeding were assessed among the subjects. A binary logistic regression analysis was employed for the final analysis.
Findings: The proportion of children with teenage mothers who were stunted was 19.6%. Mothers with primary school education were 1.308 times more likely to have stunted children compared to those with senior high school education (adjusted odds ratio: 1.308; 95% CI: 1.250-1.369). Additionally, mothers with a junior high school education had a 1.103 times higher likelihood of having stunted children than those with senior high school education (adjusted odds ratio: 1.103; 95% CI: 1.054-1.154).
Conclusion: Mothers with lower education levels have higher chances of having stunted children.
