The first two years of life are crucial for child growth and development, and short stature is a common issue influenced by nutritional deficiencies. This study aimed to determine the relationship between vitamin D levels and short stature in children under 2 years of age in Bandung. Conducted as part of the ALG Grant research entitled '', this case-control study included 221 children, of whom 46.1% were below average height. Nutritional status played a significant role, with short stature being associated with underweight (21.6%), severely underweight (29.4%), wasted (12.7%), and severely wasted (10.8%) conditions. However, the analysis revealed no significant difference in vitamin D levels between children with short stature and those with normal stature (median 28.8 vs. 28.8, = 0.555). Logistic regression showed that short stature increased the risk of developmental deviations by 5.46 times compared to normal stature. While short stature remains a concern in Bandung, vitamin D levels do not appear to influence the incidence of short stature or developmental deviations in this population.
生命的头两年对儿童的生长发育至关重要，身材矮小是受营养缺乏影响的常见问题。本研究旨在确定万隆2岁以下儿童维生素D水平与身材矮小之间的关系。作为名为“”的ALG资助研究的一部分进行的这项病例对照研究纳入了221名儿童，其中46.1%的儿童身高低于平均水平。营养状况起着重要作用，身材矮小与体重不足（21.6%）、严重体重不足（29.4%）、消瘦（12.7%）和严重消瘦（10.8%）状况相关。然而，分析显示身材矮小的儿童与身材正常的儿童之间维生素D水平无显著差异（中位数28.8对28.8，P = 0.555）。逻辑回归显示，与正常身材相比，身材矮小使发育偏差风险增加5.46倍。虽然身材矮小在万隆仍然是一个令人担忧的问题，但维生素D水平似乎并未影响该人群中身材矮小或发育偏差的发生率。
