Abstract

Stunting is a global health problem, particularly in developing countries like Indonesia. One of the main risk factors for stunting is gastrointestinal infections, including giardiasis caused by Giardia lamblia. This infection can disrupt nutrient absorption and contribute to stunting. This study aims to describe the occurrence of giardiasis infection in stunted children aged 24–59 months in Kenagarian Koto Tinggi, Lima Puluh Kota Regency. This design of this study is quantitative descriptive, involving stool sample examinations collected from 46 stunted children aged 24–59 months in Nagari Koto Tinggi, Lima Puluh Kota Regency. The stool samples were examined using direct microscopic observation and Copro-ELISA.The results showed that most stunted children fell into the severely stunted category (95.7%), with a higher proportion of males (54.3%) and the 36–47 months age group (39.2%). The prevalence of Giardia lamblia infection was found to be 13%, with a higher proportion in female children (66.7%), the 24–35 months age group (50%), and severely stunted children (100%). In conclusion, the prevalence of giardiasis in stunted children in Nagari Koto Tinggi was relatively high at 13%. The infection was predominantly found in female children, aged 24–35 months, and those with severely stunted. Preventing and controlling giardiasis through improved environmental sanitation and access to clean water is a crucial effort in reducing stunting rates.
