Abstract

Stunting is a serious nutritional problem in Indonesia, which can have long-term impacts on children's physical and cognitive development. Iron tablets are given to prevent anemia that can contribute to stunting. Objective: This study aims to explore the relationship between compliance with iron tablet consumption and stunting in children under five years of age. Research Methods: This type of study is an observational analytic with a case-control design. This study was conducted from February to October 2024. This study design used a case-control to study the causes of stunting during pregnancy. The number of samples used was 30 cases, while 30 control cases were selected by simple random sampling, the analysis used was the chi-square test. Results: 22% of respondents who were not compliant with consuming Fe tablets experienced stunting. After the chi-square test was carried out in the Halsil test, the significant relationship between compliance with Fe tablet consumption and stunting was p (Sig) 0.004 (<0.05). Suggestion: Efforts to improve compliance with Fe tablet consumption must involve various parties, including the government, health workers, and the community, to create an environment that supports optimal child growth starting from pregnancy
