Abstract

Stunting is one of several health indicators that contribute to the quality of future generations of human resources. This is a very serious problem, considering the impact it can cause on the future. One of the causes of stunting is the maternal condition of the mother prior to and during pregnancy. This study aims to determine maternal factors that affect the incidence of toddler stunting in Indonesia. This study analyzes Riskesdas' 2013 data using logistic regression analysis. Maternal factors affecting stunting included mothers with an arm circumference of less than 23.5 cm, a lack of iron consumption during pregnancy, birth of the first child while under 21 years of age, low maternal education, and family economic status in quintiles 1, 2, and 3.
