Effectiveness of Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) on Changes in Weight and Height among Under-five Children with Stunting

---

Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) is a type of vegetable oil that can facilitate
the food digestion and nutrients absorption processes. VCO contains
±10% unsaturated fatty acids and ±90% saturated fatty acids. Besides
fat, VCO also contains micronutrients. Administering VCO to underfive children with stunting aims to improve metabolic function so as
to increase immunity, optimize growth and development and quality
of child health status. This study aims to determine the effectiveness
of Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) on changes in body weight and height
among under-five children with stunting. This was a QuasiExperimental study with a Non Equivalent Control Group design.
The samples involved 32 under-five children with stunting. The
intervention by administering VCO at a dose of 1 X 5 ml before
eating in the morning was conducted for 30 days. Data were analyzed
using paired t-test. The results of the study found that administration
of VCO was not proven to be effective in significantly increasing
body weight (p=0.693) and height (p=0.548) among under-five
children with stunting (p>0.05).
