GERAKAN CEGAH STUNTING SEJAK DINI MELALUI PEMERIKSAAN ANTROPOMETRI PADA BALITA

Abstrak

Stunting is one of the most serious chronic nutritional problems in Indonesia. Preventing stunting requires comprehensive interventions involving all stakeholders in child development, including parents, families, the community, and healthcare professionals. This community service activity aims to increase mothers' knowledge about toddler growth and development and to conduct anthropometric assessments on toddlers. The activity was held at Ibnu Sina Islamic Hospital (RSI) in Bukittinggi City for one day, including a series of outreach activities, anthropometric assessments, and toddler competitions, including healthy toddler and baby crawling competitions. Twenty-three mothers with toddlers participated in the activity. It is hoped that this activity will be the first step in efforts to address stunting and provide knowledge to monitor their toddlers' growth and development.
