This study aimed to analyze the association between secondhand smoke exposure (ShSE) and the incidence of stunting in toddlers.
MethodsA case-control study was conducted in June 2021 at Suranenggala Community Health Center, Cirebon, West Java, Indonesia. A total of 30 subjects for cases and 30 subjects for controls were recruited. The case was stunted toddlers and control was non-stunted toddlers. Stunting status was based on WHO Child Growth Standards median. A validated questionnaire was used in this study determining child characteristics, maternal and ShSE factors. A chi-square test was performed in bivariate analysis.
ResultsMost of the subjects were 13–24 months (86.67%). Parental smoking was prevalent in both case (80.0%) and control (90.0%). Smoking exposure was predominantly more than 2 h a day (73.33%) and inside home (83.84%). There was association between age of children and stunting (OR 7.429, 95%CI 2.078–26.550, p 0.002). There was association between duration of exposure and stunting as well (OR 3.596, 95%CI 1.216–10.638, p 0.018).
ConclusionsToddlers with ShSE duration > 2 h a day have an increased 3.5 times the risk of stunting.
