Abstract
This study aims to identify the factors that can affect the incidence of stunting so it can reduce the incidence of stunting, especially in NTT Province. The type of research that will be used is analytic observational with a cross-sectional research design, which looks for the relationship between the independent variables, namely Low Birth Weight (LBW), exclusive breastfeeding, complementary feeding, maternal education, and economic status, with the dependent variable being stunting in toddlers at a certain time. The study was conducted at the Integrated Healthcare Center, located in the working area of the Oebobo Health Center from 2020 to 2021 with a sample of 98 children under five. The sample was selected by consecutive sampling. The research material used was a validated questionnaire and height measurements using a stature meter. Then read the results according to the growth curve according to WHO. The data analysis used is the Spearman correlation test. Based on the 98 samples studied, there were 22 toddlers (22.4%) experiencing stunting and 19 toddlers (19.4%) experiencing severe stunting. From the bivariate analysis, it was found that there was a significant relationship between economic status and stunting (p = 0.030). Then there was no significant relationship between LBW (p = 0.434), exclusive breastfeeding (p = 0.059), complementary foods (p = 0.059), maternal education (p = 0.098) with the incidence of stunting. In toddlers aged 24–59 months, there is a significant relationship between economic status and stunting, meaning that the lower the economic status of the family, the incidence of stunting will increase
