Stunting is one of the remaining health issues in Indonesia and its prevalence was still high in the last decades. There are two types of growth charts that can be used in recording the child's growth: growth standards and growth references. In recent times, the selection of the suitable growth charts has become a subject of discussion in many countries. The objective of this study is to describe the prevalence of stunting according to World Health Organization Child Growth Standards (WHOCGS) and Indonesian National Growth Reference Charts (INGRC) of children under five from the Blega sub-district. The secondary data from 2884 children were collected recapitulation of the 'Bulan Timbang' program in February 2020. Z-score of length/height-for-age was plotted according to WHOCGS and INGRC. The result showed that the prevalence of stunting were lower for the INGRC than WHOCGS (5.83% and 11.17%, with p-value <0.001). There was an advantage and disadvantage when using both two growth charts. Further research is still needed to support the result of this study.

Kiserud T et al. The World Health Organization Fetal Growth Charts: A Multinational Longitudinal Study of Ultrasound Biometric Measurements and Estimated Fetal Weight. PLOS Med 2017; 14: e1002220 Weltweit hat die Säuglingssterblichkeit seit 1990 um die Hälfte abgenommen, allerdings mit großen regionalen Unterschieden: In 98% der Fälle sind Kinder aus armen Weltregionen betroffen. Die perinatale Mortalität und Morbidität sind eng mit dem fetalen Wachstum assoziiert. Bislang fehlten aber internationale Referenzstandards. In die von der WHO geforderte Erhebung flossen Daten aus 4 Erdteilen ein.
