Abstract

Background: Nutrition plays an important role in children's health not only in infancy but also in adulthood regarding their development health. Objective: To assess the nutritional status of 6 to 23-month-old children at the nutrition counselling and vaccination clinic, School of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, from 2022 to 2023. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 394 children aged 6 to 23 months old at the nutrition counselling and vaccination clinic, School of Preventive Medicine and Public Health. Results: The percentage of stunting was 13.2%, wasting was 9.4%, underweight was 11.2%, and overweight/ obesity was 5.8%. The percentage of undernutrition tended to increase gradually in the age group of 6 to 23 months old. Low-birth-weight infants had a higher risk of stunting than infants having normal weight. Stunting and wasting were associated with gestational weeks at birth and premature infants. Conclusion: The percentage of undernutrition increased in the age groups in the study. Birth weight status was associated with stunting, and gestational age was related to wasting and underweight.
