Abstract

Background: Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem due to a lack of long-term nutrition, disrupting children's growth. WHO states that stunting is conditioned by the value of Z-score height by age (PB/ U or TB/U) less than -2 standard deviation (SD). Nutritional intake that affects stunting is not only macronutrients but also vitamins and minerals. Objective: The study aimed to determine the adequacy intake of vitamin A, folic acid, vitamin C, and vitamin D in stunting under-five children aged 4-59 months in Tanah Bumbu District. Methods: The type of research was cross-sectional quantitative analytic. This research was conducted from May to August 2023 in Tanah Bumbu Regency. The population of this study was stunting under-five children. The cluster random sampling method was used to obtain a sample of 314 stunting under-five aged 4-59 months. Stunting was analyzed by PB/U or TB/U index. Nutrient intake data was measured using the food recall 1 x 24 hours and analyzed using Nutrisurvey Software. Vitamin adequacy was calculated based on the total intake of vitamins compared to the RDA. Results: The 190 under-five children (60.5%) had insufficient vitamin A levels, and 124 under-five (39.5%) were sufficient. Folic acid adequacy was insufficient for 303 under-five children (96.5%) and classified as sufficient for 11 under-five children (3.5%). Vitamin C adequacy was insufficient for 244 under-five children (77.7%) and classified as sufficient for 70 under-five children (22.3%). Vitamin D adequacy was insufficient for 300 under-five children (95.5%) and classified as sufficient for 14 under-five children (4.5%). Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that children stunting in Tanah Bumbu Regency obtained deficiency intake of vitamins A, folic acid, C, and D. For this reason, it is necessary to give multi-vitamin supplements to stunting under-five children and not just increased protein intake.
