Abstract

Abstract: Stunting is a chronic undernutrition problem due to various factors during childhood growth. Nutrition status at school age needs to be a concern, because undernutrition/malnutrition will cause children become more vulnerable to be infected by any disease. Currently, stunting rate at school is still a big problem. This study was aimed to determine the relationship of stunting with the incidence of diarrhea in elementary school students at Tikala, Manado. This was an observational analytical survey study with a cross-sectional design, conducted on 60 primary school students at Tikala, Manado. The results showed that there were 31 stunting children; 16 males (51.6%) and 15 females (48.4%). The highest percentage of stunting children was at age 9 years (10 of 31 samples). Statistical analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between stunting and the incidence of diarrhea (P=0.032). Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between stunting and the incidence of diarrhea among elementary school students at Tikala, Manado.
