Wasting is a form of acute malnutrition in children assessed using the Weight-for-Length indicator for ages 0-23 months and the Weight-for-Height indicator for ages 24-59 months. Children with wasting may experience impaired growth and development processes as well as an increased risk of mortality. Based on the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey (Survei Kesehatan Indonesia/SKI), the prevalence of wasting in South Kalimantan reached 13,8%. This prevalence is higher than the national prevalence, which reached 9,2%. This study was conducted to identify the dominant factors associated with the incidence of wasting among children aged 0-23 months in South Kalimantan Province using a cross-sectional study design. The data used were from the 2023 SKI, with a sample size of 640 children aged 0-23 months who had complete data based on the survey results.
