| Abstract | : | Stunting and wasting are interrelated with an increase in mortality, especially when both are experienced by the same child and an increase in perinatal mortality and morbidity in Indonesia due to pregnancy and birth in adolescence. The purpose of this study was to analyze the magnitude of the risk of teenage pregnancy against stunting and wasting in children aged 6-24 months in Indonesia. This study uses a nested case-control study design by analyzing data from the 5th Indonesia Family Life Survey. The results of the bivariable analysis of the incidence of stunting and wasting were not statistically related to teenage pregnancy with p= 0.39 (OR = 1.30; CI 95 = 0.67-2.48). The results of multivariate analysis of the incidence of stunting and wasting with teenage pregnancy by including variables of birth weight, maternal height, infectious diseases, and location of residence were not correlated with p = 0.47 (OR = 1.25; 95% CI = 0.67-2.35). This study found that there was no correlation between teenage pregnancy with stunting and wasting, but it still needed a strategy to reduce teenage pregnancy rates through socialization and education on the dangers of early marriage to get a generation with better health status. |
