Abstract

Stunting is one of the nutritional problems that is being faced by Indonesia. Stunting children have the potential to
suffer physical damage and their brain intelligence can be disrupted. In Indonesia, the prevalence of stunting under
five has fallen from 37.2% in 2013 to 30.8% in 2018. However, this figure is still far from the WHO target, which must
be less than 20 percent. This study aims to examine the determinants of stunting cases in toddlers in Indonesia. The
data used are the results of the 2018 Riset Kesehatan Dasar (Riskesdas) 2018, Potensi Desa (Podes) 2018, as well as
the projected population per district/city of the BPS. The analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics and
inference. The results showed that the prevalence of malnutrition and less nutrition toddlers, the prevalence of
overweight toddlers, the coverage of complete basic immunization, the prevalence of chronic energy deficiency in
women, the proportion of villages that had sufficient number of midwives per population, and the scope of access
and clean water sources had a significant (significant) effect on the prevalence variable stunting toddlers in
Indonesia, with testing at 95% confidence level (α = 5%).

Abstract

There are only few studies in the area of historical mortality estimates in the Indian context. The mortality situation
has been found to be a more dynamic factor than the birth rate in the transition from low to high population growth
rate. This paper aims to estimate life expectancy ( ) of the population from the period 1881 to1939 of Bombay
Presidency. Data from the British Census of India and the Sanitary Commissioner Reports have been used for the
study. Brass’s Indirect technique (United Nations, 1983) is employed to estimate the life expectancy. The results
clearly indicate the deteriorating mortality until the year 1920 in the erstwhile Bombay Presidency. The second
decade of the nineteenth century (1911-1920) witnessed poorer life expectancy at birth. However, the period after
1920 had shown a clear indication of improvement in life expectancy in the erstwhile Bombay Presidency, which
was under direct British rule.
