Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health concern that may adversely affect children's growth and development and is associated with various biological, behavioral, and socioeconomic factors. This study aimed to identify factors associated with stunting among children aged 24–59 months in the working area of Batangan Primary Health Center, Pati Regency, Indonesia. A quantitative observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 54 children. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. The results showed that 26 children (48.1%) experienced stunting. Significant associations were found between stunting and delivery method (p = 0.004), birth weight (p = 0.037), history of infectious diseases (p = 0.037), exclusive breastfeeding (p < 0.001), and family income (p < 0.001). In contrast, parenting style was not significantly associated with stunting (p = 0.972). Lack of exclusive breastfeeding demonstrated the highest reported odds ratio (OR = 45.833). These findings indicate that delivery method, birth weight, infectious disease history, exclusive breastfeeding, and family income are significantly associated with stunting. Strengthening maternal and child health services, promoting exclusive breastfeeding, preventing childhood infections, and supporting economically vulnerable families may contribute to stunting prevention efforts.
