Latar Belakang: ISPA adalah penyakit infeksi yang menyerang saluran pernapasan. ISPA yang terjadi secara berulang pada balita dapat menyebabkan defisit nutrisi dan dalam jangka panjang dapat mengakibatkan terjadinya stunting. Tujuan: Menganalisis hubungan ISPA berulang terhadap kejadian stunting pada anak balita di Desa Jabungsisir. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan metode cross sectional dengan teknik pengambilan simple random sampling pada anak balita di Desa Jabungsisir. Hasil: Dari hasil uji chi square terdapat indikator yang signifikan berhubungan yaitu stunting dengan karakteristik usia balita (p=0,000). Tidak signifikan berhubungan pada indikator karakteristik jenis kelamin balita (p=0,426), pendidikan ibu (p=0,628), usia ibu (p=0,840), pendapatan keluarga (p=0,139) dengan stunting. Frekuensi ISPA berulang (84,61%) dan balita stunted (44,23%). Ditemukan adanya hubungan ISPA berulang terhadap kejadian stunting pada anak balita di Desa Jabungsisir dengan nilai p=0,000. Kesimpulan: ISPA berulang memiliki hubungan dan merupakan faktor risiko terjadinya stunting sehingga pemerintah dan fasilitas kesehatan harus mengatasi masalah infeksi terlebih dahulu agar asupan nutrisi pada balita bisa adekuat.

Results: Based on the chi-square test results, a significant indicator relationship was found between stunting and the characteristics of the child's age (p=0.000). No significant relationship was found for indicators of child sex (p=0.426), mother's education (p=0.628), mother's age (p=0.840), and family income (p=0.139) with stunting. The frequency of recurrent ARI is 84.61%, and the frequency of stunted children is 44.23%. There is a relationship between recurrent ARI and stunting in children under five in Jabungsisir village, with a p-value of 0.000.
