        abstract = {Background: Stunting is a condition of chronic malnutrition that causes the
body's posture is not optimal and cognitive abilities decrease. The level of
adequacy of zinc is one of the factors that influence the incidence of stunting.
Zinc is needed to activate and begin the synthesis of Growth Hormone (GH) so
that children with zinc deficiency cause GH receptors to be disrupted and GH
production to be resistant. This study was conducted to determine the
difference in mean zinc levels in stunting and non-stunting children in Gunung
Sugih District, Central Lampung.
Methods: Analytic observational method with cross-sectional approach is used
for this research. The sample of the research is 42 childrenaged 24-42 months
with 18 sunting and 22 non stunting.
Result: The results of univariate analysis revealed that the average zinc level
of toddler serum was 52.60 ug / dl with the largest value of 76 ug / dl and the
lowest value was 24 ug / dl. The results of bivariate analysis showed that there

were significant differences in the mean zinc levels of stunting and non-
stunting children (p = 0,002).

Conclusion: The results showed a significant difference in the mean zinc levels
of stunting and non-stunting children .

Latar Belakang: Stunting merupakan kondisi kekurangan gizi kronis yang
menyebabkan postur tubuh tidak maksimal dan kemampuan kognitif
berkurang. Tingkat kecukupan zinc merupakan salah satu faktor yang
berpengaruh terhadap kejadian stunting. Zinc dibutuhkan untuk mengaktifkan
dan memulai sintesis Growth Hormone (GH) sehingga pada anak yang
mengalami defisiensi zinc menyebabkan reseptor GH terganggu dan produksi
GH menjadi resisten. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui perbedaan
rerata kadar zinc pada balita stunting dan non stunting di Kecamatan Gunung
Sugih Kabupaten Lampung Tengah.
Metode: Metode analitik observasional dengan pendekatan cross sectional
digunakan pada penelitian ini. Sampel penelitian sebanyak 40 balita usia 24-60
bulan dengan 18 balita stunting dan 22 balita non stunting.
Hasil: Hasil analisis univariat diketahui rata-rata kadar zinc serum balita
sebesar 52,60 ug/dl dengan nilai terbesar 76 ug/dl dan nilai terendah 24 ug/dl.
Hasil analisis bivariat didapatkan hasil bahwa terdapat perbedaan yang
bermakna pada rerata kadar zinc balita stunting dan non stunting (p = 0,002).
Kesimpulan: Terdapat perbedaan rerata kadar zinc serum pada balita stunting
dan non stunting
Kata Kunci : balita, kadar zinc serum, stunting}
