The findings reveal that 60% of toddlers experienced stunting. Key determinants investigated include clean water access, sanitation facilities, immunization status, exposure to cigarette smoke, and health insurance coverage. Among these, cigarette smoke exposure was identified as the most significant factor, with a p-value of 0.004, indicating a strong association with stunting. This research underscores the need for multi-sectoral interventions focusing on smoking cessation and improving nutritional support to address stunting comprehensively.
