bivariate analysis and logistic regression used to multivariate
analysis with 5% significance limit and 95% confidence level.
Results: Multivariate analysis results that maternal parity and
exclusive breastfeeding history was significantly associated with
stunting (OR 3,419 (CI 95%: 1.433-8.156); OR 3,706 (CI
95%:1.430-9.605). External variable significantly associated with
stunting is maternal occupation OR 2,972 (CI 95%: 1.285-6.874).
Conclusion: Maternal parity and exclusive breastfeeding history
are significantly associated with stunting in children aged 12-59
