Masalah gizi dapat diakibatkan oleh ketidakseimbangan antara asupan yang diterima dengan kebutuhan tubuh. Berdasarkan hasil Studi Status Gizi Indonesia (SSGI) tahun 2021, angka prevalensi masalah gizi pada balita yang mengalami stunting sebesar 24,4%, wasting sebesar 7,1%, dan underweight sebesar 17%, serta overweight (obesitas) sebesar 3,8%. Pada praktiknya, pemberian MP-ASI yang tidak sesuai dengan waktu pertama kali pemberian, frekuensi, bentuk dan jumlah porsi yang tidak sesuai usia dapat berdampak pada kesehatan anak sehingga menimbulkan masalah gizi. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui adanya hubungan antara status pemberian MP-ASI dengan status gizi pada balita umur 6-24 bulan di Posyandu Mawar Putih IV Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Mulyorejo Kecamatan Sukun Kota Malang. Jenis penelitian observasional analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh ibu yang mempunyai balita umur 6-24 bulan di Posyandu Mawar Putih IV Puskesmas Mulyorejo Kecamatan Sukun Kota Malang dengan sampel berjumlah 30 responden menggunakan teknik purposive sampling.

Nutritional problems can be caused by an imbalance between the intake received and the body's needs. Based on the results of the 2021 Indonesian Nutritional Status Study (SSGI), the prevalence rate of nutritional problems in toddlers who experience stunting is 24.4%, wasting is 7.1%, and underweight is 17%, and overweight (obese) is 3.8%. In practice, giving MP-ASI that is not in accordance with the time it was first given, the frequency, form and number of portions that are not age-appropriate can have an impact on children's health, causing nutritional problems. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was a relationship between the status of complementary feeding and the nutritional status of toddlers aged 6-24 months at Posyandu Mawar Putih IV in the Working Area of the Mulyorejo Health Center, Sukun District, Malang City. This type of analytic observational research with a cross sectional approach. The population in this study were all mothers with toddlers aged 6-24 months at Posyandu Mawar Putih IV in the working area of the Mulyorejo Health Center, Sukun District, Malang City with a sample of 30 respondents using a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis used the Chi-Square test. The results showed that the status of complementary feeding (73,3%) was appropriate. Nutritional status based on the weight-for-age index (83,3%), height-for-age index (70.0%), and weight-for-height index (80,0%) were mostly in the normal category. The statistical tests showed no significant relationship between the status of complementary feeding and the nutritional status based on the weight-for-age index (P-value=0,287), height-for-age index (P-value=0,067), and weight-for-height index (P-value=0,155). It is expected that integrated service posts and health centers can provide counseling and health education related to the importance of giving MP-ASI properly.
