Therefore, the Government of Indonesia has a target for 2024 for the stunting rate to fall by around 14%. So that the reduction in stunting rates is still far from the target set by the Government. Indonesia is still experiencing problems in nutrition and child development. UNICEF suggests that around 80% of stunted children are found in 24 developing countries in Asia and Africa. Objective: This study aims to determine the factors related to stunting in Cilincing Public Health Center, North Jakarta in 2024.

This data was analyzed using descriptive statistics chi-square. Results: The research results showed that the number of health workers who experienced stunting was greater (68.9%) compared to normal ones (31.1%). There is an average value of stunted toddlers with a complete immunization history (56,%), good PHBS (66,2%), exclusive breastfeeding history (77%). ), less good parenting patterns (51.4%) and history of diarrhea with Diarrhea (60.8%).
