The number of samples analyzed was 10,779 children under two years old. The results of the analysis showed that the prevalence of stunting in children aged 0-23 months was 28.9 percent. The prevalence of stunting in babies 0-11 months was 22.4 percent lower than the prevalence of stunting in toddlers 12-23 months (36.8%). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors associated with stunting in children aged 0-23 months in Indonesia were boys, ages 12-23. months, LBW, birth length (< 48 cm), and maternal height (< 145 cm).
