S tunting merupakan kondisi kegagalan pada perkembangan fisik yang diukurtinggi badan berdasarkan umur dengan nilai Z-score <-2 SD (Standart Deviation).Faktor yang dapat menyebabkan seorang anak terkena stunting diantaranya yaitukurangnya asupan makanan dengan gizi pada bayi dan balita dan penyakit infeksi.Penyakit infeksi paling sering diderita balita adalah ISPA dan diare. Penelitian inibertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara riwayat infeksi kronis dengankejadian stunting pada balita.METODEPenelitian ini menggunakan desain cross sectional dengan pemilihan subjekmenggunakan metode consecutive sampling dan didapatkan 63 responden diPuskesmas Kecamatan Grogol Petamburan pada bulan Mei 2023. Datadikumpulkan dengan mengambil data rekam medis pasien balita periode bulanJanuari - Juni 2023 untuk status riwayat infeksi kronis dan kejadian stunting.Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan uji Kruskal wallis dengan tingkatkemaknaan p <0,05.HASILDari 63 responden pada penelitian ini, sebanyak 20 responden (31,7%) memilikiriwayat stunting, 43 responden (68,3%) tidak memiliki riwayat stunting, memilikiriwayat infeksi kronis sebanyak 60 responden dengan penyakit ISPA sebanyak 40responden (63,5%) dan penyakit diare sebanyak 10 responden (15,9%), dan 13responden (20,6%) tidak memiliki riwayat infeksi kronis. Analisis statistikmenunjukkan terdapat hubungan antara riwayat infeksi kronis dengan kejadianstunting (p=0,000).KESIMPULANDapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat hubungan bermakna antara riwayat infeksikronis dengan kejadian stunting pada balita
S tunting is a condition of failure in physical development measured by heightbased on age with a Z-score value of <-2 SD (Standard Deviation). Factors thatcan cause a child to be stunted include lack of nutritional food intake in infantsand toddlers and infectious diseases. The most common infectious diseasessuffered by toddlers are ISPA and diarrhea. This study aims to determine therelationship between a history of chronic infection and the incidence of stunting intoddlers.METHODSThis study used a cross sectional design with subject selection using theconsecutive sampling method and obtained 63 respondents at the PuskesmasGrogol Petamburan District in May 2023.

Statistical analysis showed a relationship between a history of chronicinfection and the incidence of stunting (p = 0.000).CONCLUSIONSIt can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between a history ofchronic infection and the incidence of stunting in underfives.
