Nutritional Status Classification Of Stunting In Toddlers Using Naive Bayes Classifier Method

Stunting in toddlers is one of the prevalent issues of malnutrition in Indonesia. The causes of Stunting are diverse, and one contributing factor is the insufficient nutritional intake required for toddlers. The categorization of Stunting nutritional status in toddlers is crucial to identify those experiencing Stunting, enabling appropriate interventions to prevent more serious health problems in the future. This research aims to develop a classification model for short nutritional status in toddlers using the Naive Bayes Classifier method. The data utilized in this study originate from anthropometric measurements of toddlers in the Malebo area, Kandangan, Temanggung, Central Java. The anthropometric data include weight, height, and age of the toddlers. This data is then processed using the Naive Bayes Classifier method to classify the nutritional status of Stunting in toddlers. The results of this research are expected to assist in identifying toddlers experiencing Stunting, facilitating appropriate interventions to prevent more serious health issues in the future. Additionally, the Naive Bayes Classifier method employed can be applied in similar studies to enhance the quality of life, especially for children in Indonesia, particularly in the Malebo area, Kandangan, Temanggung, Central Java.
