<![CDATA[Abstract. Stunting remains a significant public health problem in Indonesia, with anemia in pregnant women being a factor that can affect fetal growth during the intrauterine period. This study examined the relationship between anemia in pregnant women and stunting in children aged 12–24 months at the Bulakamba Community Health Center, Brebes Regency, in 2024. Using an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach, data from 74 children and their mothers obtained from community health center reports were selected using random sampling. The analysis used the Chi-square test. The results showed that 64.9% of mothers had anemia and 61% of children were stunted. There was a significant relationship between anemia in pregnancy and the incidence of stunting in children. Prevention and early detection of anemia in pregnant women can reduce the prevalence of stunting. Abstrak.
