DETERMINAN STUNTING DI ENAM PROVINSI DENGAN KASUS TERTINGGI DI INDONESIA: ANALISIS DATA PANEL TAHUN 2016-2024

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effects of iron-folic acid supplement (IFAS) administration, delivery at health facilities, and toddler weighing on the prevalence of stunting in the six provinces with the highest number of cases in Indonesia during the 2016–2024 period. The study employs a quantitative approach using panel data analysis based on secondary data from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, which includes 54 observations. Model estimation was performed using a Fixed Effects Model (FEM), selected based on the Chow and Hausman tests. The results of the analysis indicate that the administration of TTD (coefficient = -0.005003; p < 0.05) and weighing of infants (coefficient = -0.004614; p < 0.05) have a negative and significant effect on the prevalence of stunting. Conversely, delivery at a health facility has a positive and significant effect (coefficient = 0.006395; p<0.05). Collectively, all variables had a significant effect, with an Adjusted R² of 59.82%. These findings underscore the importance of strengthening integrated health interventions throughout the first 1,000 days of life in efforts to accelerate the reduction of stunting.
