Abstract

Stunting is still a problem, including in Indonesia. The consequences of stunting include higher susceptibility to chronic diseases (such as diabetes and heart diseases), lower developmental milestones, and lower school performances. Irreversible brain damage might happen due to iodine and iron deficiencies. Therefore, understanding the determinants and impact of stunting is critical. This paper aims to describe the determinants and impact of stunting. The impact of stunting might affect the brain and mental development. Poor school performance results in low income and poverty. Children who live in urban areas are less likely to be stunted due to better health care system access and facilities, greater availability of food, electricity, housing, water, transportation, and sanitation. A higher economic and educational level plays important roles in decreasing the prevalence of stunting. Stunting children pose a higher mortality risk. Stunting is a part of the monitoring framework of the Sustainable Development Goals. Providing a nutritious and diverse diet would prevent stunting. Improving affordable local management of food systems is one of the steps in increasing the nutritional status of stunted children. In conclusion, the determinants of stunting are socioeconomic status and the impacts of stunting are various from chronic disease, lower educational status, brain damage, and a higher mortality risk.
