Stunting, a form of malnutrition, results from prolonged inadequate nutrition, signifying a chronic nutritional challenge. The prevalence of stunting among Indonesian toddlers was reported at 24.4% in 2021, with an increased rate of 23.3% in West Sumatra and 18.4% in the Pasaman Barat district among children under five years old. The primary objective of this research is to identify factors associated with stunting in toddlers within the Ophir Health Center's operational domain in Pasaman Regency, West Sumatra, in 2023. This study employs a Descriptive Analytical approach with a cross-sectional design. A total of 71 mothers with toddlers residing in the Ophir Health Center's jurisdiction constituted the sample size. The findings of this study reveal that several factors are significantly related to stunting. Specifically, there is a significant association between Exclusive Breastfeeding and stunting, with a p-value of 0.001 and an Odds Ratio (OR) of 8.46. Additionally, a notable relationship between access to clean water and stunting is observed, exhibiting a p-value of 0.000 and an OR of 11.262. Moreover, a significant connection between nutritional status and stunting emerges, with a p-value of 0.003 and an OR of 7.000. Lastly, the timing of births also demonstrates a meaningful relationship with stunting, evidenced by a p-value of 0.000 and an OR of 108.000. In conclusion, this study establishes a correlation between Exclusive Breastfeeding, clean water access, nutritional status, birth spacing, and stunting within the operational realm of the Ophir Community Health Center in Pasaman Barat Regency for the year 2023. It is recommended that health center personnel engage in proactive measures to prevent stunting, including cadre training and multi-sectoral collaboration to enhance their competencies.
