Abstract
Mental retardation is a mental disorder in lifelong, which is influenced by genetic and non-genetic factors, both before, during, and after birth. This study aimed to determine the correlation between nutritional status, genetic history, and non-genetic history with mental retardation children at SLB Mandara in Kendari Municipality. This study was an observational analytic study using a cross-sectional design. The population in this study was all of the children who have mental retardation at SLB Mandara Kendari as many as 54 students and the samples as many as 35 students. The sampling was done by using Stratified random sampling technique. Data analysis using a chi-square test with a confidence interval (CI) of 95% at a significance level of p <0.05. The results showed that there was a significant correlation between nutritional status (pvalue=0.031), genetic history (pvalue=0.048), maternal health history (pvalue=0.003), and pregnancy history (pvalue=0.016) with mental retardation children, and there was no correlation between the child’s history (pvalue=0.089) and parenting history (pvalue=0.249) with mental retardation children at SLB Mandara in Kendari Municipality.
