Abstract

Stunting prevalence in the operational area of Palmerah Primary Health Center fluctuated over recent years, dropping from 6.18% in 2023 to 3.08% in 2024, but rising again to 3.69% in 2025. This study aimed to analyze maternal factors associated with stunting among toddlers in the area. A quantitative approach with a case-control design was employed. The study population comprised 218 stunted toddlers (case group) and 5,693 non-stunted toddlers (control group). A sample of 92 respondents (46 cases and 46 controls) was selected using a simple random sampling technique based on Lemeshow's two-proportion formula. Data were gathered through a document review of the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) handbook and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. Findings revealed high-risk maternal age during pregnancy (42.4%), short birth spacing (19.6%), high parity (10.9%), premature gestational age (38.0%), and low birth weight (8.7%). Bivariate analysis demonstrated a significant association between maternal age during pregnancy and gestational age with stunting occurrence. Conversely, birth spacing, parity, and low birth weight showed no significant relationship with stunting. The findings of this study emphasize the need to strengthen adolescent reproductive health education at the community level and implement specific flagging for pregnant women at high-risk ages to optimize the frequency of antenatal care and intensive nutritional monitoring.
