Stunting is the impaired growth and development that children experience from chron- ic malnutrition, repeated infection, poor maternal health, and inadequate psychosocial stimulation. The focus of this study is determinants of stunting of 6 – 23 months children in East Nusa Tenggara Province using data from the Study of Indonesian Nutritional Status in 2021. This research is a quantitative study that uses a cross-sectional design. The results showed that the proportion of stunting in 6-23 months in NTT province was 32.8%. The results of the bivariate analysis showed that variables significantly associated with stunting included child age (OR: 1.723 CI 95% 1.215-2.445), gender (OR: 1.777 CI 95% 1.305-2.419), LBW (OR: 2.106 CI 95% 1.206-3.423), SBL (OR: 1.768 CI 95% 1.133- 2.759), history of infectious disease (OR: 1.548 CI 95% 1.141-2.099), maternal education (OR: 1.555 CI 95% 1.136-2.127), and toilet sanitation (OR: 1.881 CI 95% 1.384-2.555). The results of multivariate analysis showed that the most dominant factor of stunting was a history of infectious diseases (p-value 0.003; OR: 2.244). Children who have a history of infectious diseases are at risk of stunting by 2.2 times higher than children who do not have a history of infectious diseases after being controlled by child age, gender, LBW, SBL, and toilet sanitation.
