Introduction: Stunting is a short stature caused by chronic malnutrition based on weight-for-age, height-for-age, and chronological age that greatly impacts child growth and development. According to SSGI 2021, Southeast Sulawesi is ranked fifth in Indonesia with the highest stunting rate at 30.2% and North Kolaka Regency has a stunting rate of 29.1%. The causes of stunting are quite diverse, one of which is the lack of protein food consumption. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between protein intake and the incidence of stunting in toddlers.
Methods: This study was an observational analytic study. This study was participated by 18 children who were registered at the Lapai Health Centre. Using the cross-sectional method and chi-square test, 18 children will be analyzed to determine the relationship of protein intake to stunting.
Results: The results showed that the percentage of toddlers with less protein intake was 72.2% and only 27.8% were in the sufficient category. Toddlers with the stunting category were 77.8% and toddlers with the normal category were only 22.2%. With data analysis using the chi-square test, the P-value <0.05 (P-value 0.04) was obtained.
Conclusion: This study focuses on the increasing incidence of stunting in toddlers caused by a lack of protein intake. The results of this study emphasize to that parents and local governments to pay more attention to children's protein intake during toddlerhood by providing varied protein intake.
