Pada saat ini prioritas pemerintah dalam mengurangi angka kejadian stunting yaitu
fokus terhadap 1000 hari awal kehidupan, karena pemberian zat gizi selama seribu hari
dimulai dari masa konsepsi hingga anak berumur dua tahun merupakan masa kritis bagi
kesehatan, kesejahteraan dan kesuksesan anak pada masa mendatang. Penelitian ini bertujuan
untuk mengetahui faktor resiko kejadian stunting pada balita usia 2-3 tahun di wilayah kerja
Puskesmas Muturi tahun 2026. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain observasional analitik
dengan pendekatan cross-sectional. Sampel terdiri dari ibu yang memiliki balita usia 2-3
tahun sebanyak 95 orang yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan ekslusi yang dipilih
menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui kuesioner
dan rekam medis. Analisis data menggunakan uji Chi-Square dan Spearman’s rho. Analisis
menunjukkan bahwa hubungan status gizi balita terhadap resiko kejadian stunting adalah 0.01
˂ 0.05 (OR = 14.286; 95% CI = 2.071 – 98.525). Hubungan riwayat penyakit infeksi
terhadap resiko kejadian stunting adalah 0.016 ˂ 0.05 (OR = 1.872; 95% CI = 1.540 – 2.276)
dan hubungan status ekonomi keluarga terhadap resiko kejadian stunting adalah 0.006 ˂ 0.05
(OR = 3.405; 95% CI = 0.961 – 12.061). Faktor risiko dominan penyebab stunting adalah
status gizi balita, riwayat penyakit infeksi dan status ekonomi keluarga yang rendah. Upaya
pencegahan stunting memerlukan intervensi spesifik dan sensitif, seperti peningkatan edukasi
gizi bagi ibu hamil serta perbaikan fasilitas pelayanan kesehatan.

The current government strategy to reduce stunting prevalence prioritizes the first
1,000 days of life, given that adequate nutrition from conception to age two is crucial for
long-term child health, well-being, and success. This study aims to determine the risk factors
associated with the incidence of stunting among toddlers aged 2–3 years in the working area
of the Muturi Health Center in 2026. This study employed an analytical observational design
with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 95 mothers of toddlers aged 2–3
years who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, selected using a purposive sampling
technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and medical records. Data analysis
was performed using the Chi-Square test and Spearman’s rho. The analysis showed that the
relationship between the toddler's nutritional status and the risk of stunting was significant
with a p-value of 0.01 < 0.05 {(OR)= 14.286; 95% CI= 2.071 - 98.525}. The relationship
between a history of infectious diseases and the risk of stunting was also significant at 0.016
< 0.05{(OR)= 1.872; 95% CI= 1.540 - 2.276}, and the family's economic status was
significantly related to the risk of stunting at 0.006 < 0.05{(OR= 3.405; 95% CI = 0.961 -
12.061}. The dominant risk factors causing stunting are the toddler's nutritional status, a
history of infectious diseases, and low family economic status. Efforts to prevent stunting
require both specific and sensitive interventions, such as improving nutritional education for
pregnant women and enhancing healthcare service facilities.
