Abstract

Malnutrition in children is still a problem in low and middle-income countries, including Indonesia. This research aims to assess how the mother's mental health influences the child's nutritional status, measured by stunting and underweight status, in the short term (when the child is 0-5 years old) and long-term (when the child is 7-12 years old). Using the Indonesia Family Life Survey 2007 and 2014 data, the logistic regression results shows that children of mothers with mental health problem have a greater tendency to experience underweight nutritional status in both the short and long term. However, the influence of maternal mental health problem on children's stunting status is only evident in the long term. In addition, being males, did not consume protein, received exclusive breastfeeding, having mothers who are working are associated with a greater likelihood to be stunted and underweight. On the other hand, children with low birth weight, born from over 35 years mothers, having mothers with a height of more than 145 centimetres, living in a household with a higher per capita expenditure quintile, with adequate sanitation, and living in urban areas, are associated with a lower tendency for stunting and underweight.

Bahasa Abstract

Gizi buruk pada anak masih menjadi masalah di negara-negara berpendapatan rendah dan menengah termasuk Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana pengaruh kesehatan mental ibu terhadap status gizi anak yang diukur dengan status stunting dan underweight dalam jangka pendek (saat usia anak 0-5 tahun) dan jangka panjang (saat usia anak 7-12 tahun). Dengan menggunakan data Indonesia Family Life Survey 2007 dan 2014, hasil analisis regresi logistik biner menunjukkan bahwa anak dari ibu dengan gangguan kesehatan mental memiliki kecenderungan yang lebih besar untuk mengalami status gizi underweight, baik dalam jangka pendek maupun panjang. Akan tetapi, pengaruh gangguan kesehatan mental ibu terhadap status stunting anak hanya terlihat pada jangka panjang. Selain itu, berjenis kelamin laki-laki, tidak mengonsumsi protein, mendapatkan ASI eksklusif, dan memiliki ibu yang bekerja, berasosiasi dengan kecenderungan yang lebih besar untuk stunting dan underweight. Di sisi lain, lahir dengan berat badan di bawah normal, lahir dari ibu dengan usia melahirkan di atas 35 tahun, memiliki ibu dengan tinggi badan lebih dari 145 sentimeter, berasal dari keluarga dengan kuintil pengeluaran per kapita lebih tinggi, sanitasi yang layak, serta tinggal di perkotaan, berasosiasi dengan kecenderungan stunting dan underweight yang lebih kecil.
