Abstract

Background: The prevalence of children under five failing to thrive in North Central Timor 2019 is still high; underweight 27.54%, stunting 51.8% and wasting 4.81%. Stunting and underweight are highest in the preschool age group while wasting are lower in the higher age group. Family socio-economy, parenting patterns, consumption patterns and infectious diseases are risk factors for children's growth.  Objective: To analyze the description of differences and determinants of growth in preschool children in rural and urban areas. Methods: Observational study with cross-sectional design. Multistage sampling technique with a number of 130 subjects in rural areas and 130 in urban areas. The Mann Whitney test identifies the difference in variables. Multiple logistic regression analysis to determine the determinants of growth.

Results: There were significant differences (p = <0.05) in the variables of maternal education, maternal occupation, family income, feeding practices, health hygiene practices, food frequency. There was no significant difference (p> 0.05) in family size, love and cares practice, academic practice, incidence of illness, frequency of illness and duration of illness. 

Determinants of growth in rural areas; health hygiene practice (p value = 0.011; OR = 3.177; 95%CI= 1,299-7,770), food frequency (p value = 0.025;OR = 2.522; 95%CI= 1,122-5,669) and frequency of illness (p value = 0.043, OR = 2.453; 95%CI= 1,029-5,846) while in urban areas; practice of love and cares (p value = 0.022, OR = 3,390; 95%CI= 1,192-9,639) and duration of illness (p value = 0.033, OR = 2.226; 95%CI= 1,068-4,640). Conclusion: Health hygiene practice, food frequency and sickness frequency are determinants of growth in rural areas, while in urban areas are the practice of compassion and duration of illness. Efforts to overcome growth disorders can be done through increasing knowledge related to the practice of parenting.
