Abstract: Stunting is
identified by comparing measurements of childrent’s heights to the NCHS
WHO2005growth reference population : children who fall potential as a result of
suboptimal health and/or nutritionalconditions. Stunting prevalence in
Indonesia still high level, this indicated health problem because
associatedwith increase in morbidity and mortality, low cognitive capability
and improper physical function.The purpose inthis study was to determine many
environmental factors and behaviour associated with incidence of
stunting.Methods : It was an observational research with case-control study
design.Subject were divided into two groups: case and control groups in
Elementary School student class 4 and 5 with 37 subject in case group and 53
subjectin the control group. Variables examined in this study was a history of
exposure to pesticides, history of cigarettesmoke exposure, mosquito smoke
exposure history, a history of using plastic as a place to store food is still
hot,urinaryexcretioniodine (UEI), levels of urinary thyocyanate, anemia, TSH
levels, Cholinesterase levels and BodyMass Index.Data was collected by
interviewing, observation and measurement. Data would be analyzed using
independent t–test or Mann Withney), bivariate analisys using Chi-Square and
multivariate analysis using logistic regression.Result :This study indicated
that the incidence of stunting was 37 %; 56,8% of them had history of
pesticidesexposure. The results of the bivariate analysis showed that the risk
factor of stunting in student is a history ofpesticides exposure with Odds Ratio
(OR) 2,625. The result of logistic regression test showed there was
asignificant association between the incidence of stunting with a history of
pesticide exposure(OR 2,39).Conclusion :The history of pesticides exposure was
the risk factor for stunting.
