Abstract

Stunting remains a major problem in Indonesia, particularly in Depok City, West Java. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing stunting in Sawangan District. The study design used is a cross-sectional study, analyzing test variables such as stunting incidence, maternal characteristics (age, education, maternal nutritional status during pregnancy, and personal hygiene), and toddler factors (exclusive breastfeeding status and LBW incidence) using univariate, bivariate (chi-square test), and multivariate (binary logistic regression) analyses. The analysis shows that maternal personal hygiene and LBW incidence in toddlers significantly influence stunting incidence. Other factors, such as age, education, and maternal nutritional status during pregnancy, as well as exclusive breastfeeding status and LBW incidence in toddlers, do not statistically influence stunting incidence. Based on the analysis, maternal personal hygiene and LBW incidence in toddlers are determinants of stunting incidence in Sawangan District. Therefore, intervention efforts can be prioritized to improve mothers' knowledge and attitudes regarding correct personal hygiene practices and nutrition, thereby enhancing the health of mothers and babies and reducing the occurrence of LBW.
