Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional issue that requires accurate, data-driven intervention. This study aims to map the level of stunting risk among toddlers in Perkebunan Petatal Village by categorizing them into high, medium, and low-risk groups. The research method employed is descriptive quantitative, utilizing the K-Means Clustering algorithm to group toddler data based on related risk indicators. The analysis results revealed three risk clusters: Cluster 1 (high risk) consisting of 14 toddler data, Cluster 2 (medium risk) consisting of 17 toddler data, and Cluster 3 (low risk) consisting of 19 toddler data. These findings indicate that while the majority of toddlers fall into the low-risk category, there are still toddlers in the high and medium-risk categories who require specific attention from village authorities and health workers. This information serves as a crucial basis for determining nutritional intervention priorities and designing more targeted and data-driven stunting prevention programs in Perkebunan Petatal Village
