Concurrent Wasting and Stunting (WaSt) in a child is a health problem, which only brings detrimental effects. However, there is limited research regarding the prevalence and determinants of WaSt, including Indonesia. Analyze the prevalence and determinants of WaSt in children aged 6-23 months This cross-sectional study was conducted on Indonesia Nutritional Status Survey (INSS) 2021 datasets. Data was collected between January and December 2021. About 15,641 aged 23 months children were included in this study.

The multivariate test was used to analyze the risk of the independent variable to the dependent, seen through the adjusted odds ratio (aOR). The prevalence of WaSt were 2.4%. Males had higher odds 2.15 times (95% CI; 1.72-2.68), aged 12-23 months had higher odds 3.15 times (95% CI 2.33-4.25), low birth weight had higher odds 3.11 times (95% CI; 2.33-4.15), small birth size had higher odds 2 times (95% CI; 1.59-2.54), maternal age >35 years had higher odds 1.5 times (95% CI; 1.19-1.89), experienced infection had higher odds 1.43 times (95% CI; 1.16-1.76), not utilizing the Integrated Health and Nutrition Services (Posyandu) had higher odds 1.17 times (95% CI; 1.29-2.27), middle economic status had higher odds 2.54 times (95% CI; 1.75-3.7), and rural had higher odds of 1.37 times (95% CI; 1.1-1.71) to be WaSt. WaSt is associated with multiple factors in Indonesia.
