Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test and logistic regression with SPSS 16.0 for windows.Results: 50 of 81 students were classified as normal height and 31 students with short stature. Short stature children had lower cognitive abilities (p=0,047) and psychosocial condition (p=0,027) than normal height children. Sex (p=0,058), age (p=0,233), and socio-economic condition (p=0,767) were not associated with children’s cognitive abilities. Age (p=0,264), sex (p=0,913), and socio-economic condition (p=0,138) were also not associated with children’s psychosocial condition.Conclusion: There is a statistically significant effect of short stature on children’s cognitive abilities and psychosocial condition in primary school.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan  125 responden memiliki rata-rata durasi mengemudi sebesar 2,534 jam, kualitas tidur sebesar 2,779, dan produktivitas kerja sebesar 0,0593 kL/jam. Hasil uji korelasi Pearson menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan signifikan antara durasi mengemudi dengan produktivitas kerja AMT (p= 0,001, p ≤ 0,05), dan tidak terdapat hubungan signifikan antara kualitas tidur dengan produktivitas kerja AMT (p= 0,608, p > 0,05).
