Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic could challenge the nutrition fulfillment case, especially for under five-year-old children in low-middle-income countries, including Indonesia. Infection in children could be worsened by malnutrition, contributing to virus transmission. Local healthcare facilities monitored the nutritional status of under-five-year-old children, particularly during the pandemic. This study aimed to identify the nutritional status of under-five-year-old children during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Integrated Health Post "Kuntum Mekar A RW 21" inĀ  Depok District, West Java. This research used secondary data analysis: height/length, age, and sex. The study results involved 135 data from subjects included in the analysis. Those are one newborn (0-3 months old) who did not experience stunting, 27 toddlers (4-12 months old) with a stunting percentage of 7.4% and severe stunting of 3.7%, 31 children (13-23 months old) with a stunting prevalence of 12.9% and severe stunting 3.2%. Twenty-seven children ((24-35 months old) had a stunting prevalence of 14.8%, 22 children (35-47 months old) had a prevalence of stunting at 22,7%, and 4,5% of them were severe stunting. Last, the children aged 47-59 months old had a prevalence of stunting at 14.8%. The total prevalence of stunting in the Posyandu Kuntum Mekar A RW 21 Mekarjaya, Depok, was 16.3%. The stunting eradication program required multi sectors approach to reach the goal of gold generation in 2045.
