Based on the results of the analysis, researcher found several variables that are at risk of affecting stunting, namely: the number of household members (OR = 3.182, 95% CI: 1.602-6.320), household income (OR = 2.00, 95% CI: 1,020-3,922), non-exclusive breastfeeding (OR = 5,519, 95% CI: 2,703-11,271), and history of infectious diseases (OR = 7,857, 95% CI: 3,732-16,540). The history of infectious diseases is the most influential variable on the occurrence of stunting (OR = 9,860 CI 95%: 4,015-24,217).
