| Abstract (English): | Stunting poses a persistent public health threat in Indonesia, especially among adolescent girls who play a key role in breaking intergenerational cycles of malnutrition, yet cardiometabolic determinants shaping their knowledge and preventive attitudes remain underexplored. This cross-sectional descriptive correlational study, conducted from October 19 to November 18, 2025, in urban Kotamobagu City and rural North Minahasa Regency of North Sulawesi, involved 128 adolescent girls from public senior high schools, assessed via validated questionnaires and BMI-for-age anthropometry. Bivariate Chi-Square analyses revealed that 57.8% had good knowledge of stunting's causes, consequences, and prevention, while 73.4% exhibited positive attitudes; significant correlates of knowledge included higher monthly family income (p=0.009), teacher-sourced information (p<0.001), government socialization (p=0.021), teacher informational support (p=0.004), and family instrumental support (p=0.005). Positive attitudes associated with normal nutritional status (p=0.007), government exposure (p=0.012), and good knowledge (p=0.014), but inversely with peer instrumental support (p=0.010), amid a double burden of malnutrition (32.8% underweight, 11.7% overweight/obese). These findings underscore the need for targeted educational, familial, and nutritional interventions to enhance awareness and behaviors mitigating stunting's long-term cardiometabolic risks.

| Abstract (Spanish): | El retraso del crecimiento representa una amenaza persistente para la salud pública en Indonesia, especialmente entre las adolescentes, quienes desempeñan un papel fundamental en la ruptura de los ciclos intergeneracionales de malnutrición. Sin embargo, los determinantes cardiometabólicos que influyen en su conocimiento y actitudes preventivas siguen siendo poco explorados. Este estudio transversal, descriptivo y correlacional, realizado del 19 de octubre al 18 de noviembre de 2025 en la ciudad urbana de Kotamobagu y la zona rural del distrito de Minahasa del Norte, en Sulawesi del Norte, incluyó a 128 adolescentes de escuelas secundarias públicas, evaluadas mediante cuestionarios validados y antropometría de IMC para la edad. Los análisis bivariados de chi-cuadrado revelaron que el 57,8% tenía un buen conocimiento sobre las causas, consecuencias y prevención del retraso del crecimiento, mientras que el 73,4% mostró actitudes positivas. Entre los correlatos significativos del conocimiento se incluyeron mayores ingresos familiares mensuales (p=0,009), información proporcionada por el profesor (p<0,001), socialización gubernamental (p=0,021), apoyo informativo del profesor (p=0,004) y apoyo instrumental familiar (p=0,005). Las actitudes positivas se asociaron con un estado nutricional normal (p=0,007), exposición al gobierno (p=0,012) y un buen conocimiento (p=0,014), pero inversamente con el apoyo instrumental de los compañeros (p=0,010), en medio de una doble carga de malnutrición (32,8% con bajo peso, 11,7% con sobrepeso u obesidad). Estos hallazgos subrayan la necesidad de intervenciones educativas, familiares y nutricionales específicas para mejorar la concienciación y las conductas que mitiguen los riesgos cardiometabólicos a largo plazo del retraso del crecimiento.
