<![CDATA[Indonesia is the fourth ranked country in the world and second in Southeast Asia with the highest stunting cases of 21.6%. According to the provisions of the World Health Organization (WHO), the maximum tolerance standard for stunted toddlers is 20 percent or one-fifth of the total number of toddlers, so the stunting rate in Indonesia is still relatively high. The high stunting rate in Indonesia can affect the quality of Indonesia's human resources, so early detection and immediate management of stunted toddlers are needed. Stunting is a condition of failure to grow due to chronic malnutrition which is caused by inadequate nutritional intake for a long time, resulting in being shorter than standard. This research aims to determine several factors that influence stunting in toddlers in Indonesia using the nonparametric spline regression method with one knot, two knots, three knots and the best model is found to be the one knot model. The results of regression nonparametric spline modeling with one knot are GCV of 14.32605 and of 81.1%. From the five variables, namely toddlers receiving complete basic immunization babies receiving exclusive breast milk for 6 months , babies born receiving IMD children aged 6-23 months consuming five of the eight food groups and drink throughout the day , households having access to proper sanitation , the following results were obtained: the variable that don’t have a significant effect was toddlers receiving complete basic immunization , while the other four has a significant effect.]]>
