Abstract

The present study analyzes the risk factors for stunting in children aged 2–5 years in the Pasar Sentral Health Center area, Mimika Regency. The research employing a correlational descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach with a sample of 120 children from 21 posyandu. The data were collected through the questionnaires, medical records, and analyzed using the chi-square test. The prevalence of stunting was found to be 91.7%. A multitude of factors have been identified as being significantly associated with stunting, including a history of infectious diseases, a number of antenatal care (ANC) visits falling below the threshold of six, incomplete immunization, non-exclusive breastfeeding, and a history of low birth weight (LBW). The following factors were found to be non-significantly associated: maternal age, maternal education, early breastfeeding initiation (IMD), parity, and pregnancy spacing. The most significant factor identified was a history of infectious diseases, which increased the likelihood of stunting by 2.674 times. It is recommended that interventions prioritize the following: the control of infectious diseases, the enhancement of the quality of ANC, the augmentation of immunization coverage, the promotion of exclusive breastfeeding, and the prevention of LBW.
