Background: The prevalence of growth stunting and growth wasting in Indonesian preschool children is still high. The age pattern and socio-economic determinants of growth stunting and wasting have not been well understood. Objective: To describe the age pattern of linear and ponderal growth, and to...

| description | Background: The prevalence of growth stunting and growth wasting in Indonesian preschool children is still high. The age pattern and socio-economic determinants of growth stunting and wasting have not been well understood.
Objective: To describe the age pattern of linear and ponderal growth, and to identify socioeconomic and nutritional factors associated with stunting and wasting in preschool . children.
Method: We analyzed the baseline data from a randomized trial. This cross sectional analysis was done using data collected at the first cycle of the Morvita study prior to treatment assignment. These data consisted of 747 preschool children aged 6-48 months from 25 rural villages of Purwodadi sub district who had completed anthropometric data.
Results: The major growth deficit in length occurred during period of 6-24 months of age. After 24 months of age the linear growth tended to be plateau. The age pattern of ponderal growth was quite similar to the age pattern of linear growth except that the growth deficit was regained after 24 months of age. In the multiple logistic regression models, age and sib ship were significantly (p |
