Stunting is a condition of growth failure in the body and brain due to prolonged malnutrition, resulting in children being shorter than normal children of the same age and having delayed thinking. Stunting can cause various symptoms, not only involving stunted physical growth, but stunting can also inhibit cognitive development and other health problems. One of the causes of stunting is a lack of nutritional intake in toddlers and inappropriate parenting behaviors by mothers. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors contributing to stunting in toddlers. This study aims to analyze the factors contributing to stunting in the working area of the Johan Pahlawan Community Health Center in West Aceh Regency. The method this study used is a quantitative analytical study design with a case-control research design. The data analysis used univariate analysis to describe the characteristics of the variables studied and bivariate analysis with the chi-square test to determine the relationship between two variables. This study was conducted in the working area of the Johan Pahlawan Community Health Center from September 2024 to April 2025. The results of the study showed a significant relationship between the level of maternal compliance and stunting, with a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.005). In the social support variable, there is a significant relationship with stunting incidents with a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.005). In the economic variable, there is also a significant relationship with stunting incidents obtained from statistical test results with a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.005).
