Overview

Cross-sectional study analyzed underweight incidence in toddlers, highlighting dietary practices and maternal education.

Key Points

  • Low maternal education significantly increases underweight risk among toddlers, suggesting educational interventions are crucial.
  • Exclusive breastfeeding and appropriate complementary feeding practices are associated with lower underweight rates.
  • Chi-square tests and logistic regression were used to analyze data collected from 41 toddlers at Belawan PHC.
  • Prioritizing maternal education and community nutrition programs may effectively combat underweight issues in young children.
