According to the Ministry of Health 2023, West Java Province ranked third nationally and first on the island of Java in terms of diarrhea prevalence among children under-five, with a rate of 11%. This phenomenon is associated with high population density and limited access to proper sanitation. This study aims to describe the incidence of diarrhea among children under five and analyze several variables affecting diarrhea incidence in West Java, using data from SKI 2023.
