Stunting is one of the problems of acute malnutrition due to the consumption of unnutritious food for a long period, at least the first 1000 days of life. Biological differences between males and females can be a risk in the detection of stunting time. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine whether there is a significant difference in the detection time of stunting in male and female toddlers at Puskesmas Legok. Comparison data between groups by sex were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier and Tarone-Ware test. The results of the study showed that there was a significant difference in the detection time of stunting in toddlers based on gender. The average stunting detection time in female toddlers is longer than in male toddlers. The Tarone-Ware test also showed significant results with a Chi-Square value of 7.802 and p = 0.005. therefore, this study reveals that there are differences in the time of stunting detection based on gender.
