Abstract

Stunting could be found in a circumstance where children's height is unusual compared to their age. There are multifactor that cause stunting which some of them are repeated infections and the utilization of health services. Recurrent infections can be prevented if the child's basic immunization is complete. A complete history of immunization status can lower the incidence of recurrent infections. In addition, ANC examinations and measurements of weight and height as the form of the utilization of health services are perceivable by the frequency of visits of mothers and toddlers to integrated healthcare. The more frequently mothers and toddlers go to integrated healthcare, the faster stunting symptoms will be detected thus the toddler is less likely to experience stunting. This study aims to examine associations between toddlers' basic immunization status and visits to integrated healthcare regarding the stunting incidence among toddlers at the stunting locus in Sukamulya Village, Bandung Regency. The study used a quantitative correlation design with a secondary data approach. Respondents are acquired from secondary data, which is the society in Sukamulya Village, Bandung Regency.
