<![CDATA[Abstract- Stunting is still a problem in Indonesia, especially in the Central Kalimantan, where the prevalence is still very high compared to the national figure and WHO standards. Stunting is a problem related to nutrient intake and infection. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between micronutrients and the incidence of stunting in the working area of the Bukit Rawi Health Center. The design of this research is analytic observational with a case-control method. The sampling technique uses Purposive Sampling. Sample characteristic data were obtained through interviews using a questionnaire while intake data (vitamin A, Fe, zinc, calcium, phosphorus) were obtained through interviews using the SQFFQ form (Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency). Analysis of bivariate data using the Chi-Square test with a tool in the form of SPSS software. Based on the results of the study, 27 (41.5%) were stunted and 38 (58.5%) were not stunted. The average age of toddlers is 28 months with a minimum age of 19.00 months and a maximum age of 58.00 months. There was no significant relationship between the intake of Vitamin A, Fe, Zinc, and Phosphorus on the incidence of stunting (p = 0.987; p = 0.842; p = 0.590; p = 0.523). However, there was a significant relationship between calcium intake and the incidence of stunting (p = 0.032). Toddlers with less calcium intake were 5.09 times more likely to be stunted than toddlers with good calcium intake (95% CI = 1.026 - 25.270), so toddlers with less calcium intake had a probability of experiencing stunting by 83.6%.]]>
