Latar Belakang: Salah satu masalah gizi yang dihadapi oleh Indonesia adalah kejadian balita pendek (stunting). Stunting adalah hal yang sangat penting karena akan memengaruhi sumber daya manusia di masa depan. Metode: Desain penelitian ini menggunakan studi cross sectional dengan total sampel 91 balita stunting berusia 24-59 bulan. Teknik pengambilan sampel yang digunakan adalah purposive sampling. Hasil: Balita pendek lebih banyak (76,9%) daripada balita sangat pendek (23,1%). Tidak ada hubungan antara usia Ibu (p value=0,503), pendidikan Ibu (p value=0,924), status pekerjaan (p value=0,737), pendapatan keluarga (p value=0,534), pengetahuan Ibu (p value=0,829), ragam makanan (p value=0,893), riwayat penyakit (p value=0,348), pola istirahat (p value=0,714), dan aktivitas fisik (p value=0,171) dengan stunting sangat pendek dan pendek. Ada hubungan antara ASI eksklusif (p value=0,006), dan pola asuh (p value=0,004) dengan stunting sangat pendek dan pendek. Kesimpulan: Ada hubungan antara ASI eksklusif dan pola asuh dengan stunting sangat pendek dan pendek. Dalam hal ini maka perlu diadakannya sosialisasi pada orang tua balita mengenai pemberian ASI eksklusif dan praktik pola asuh yang baik dan benar Related Factors of Very Short and Short Stunting In Children Aged 24 59 Months in Kecamatan Sawah Besar AbstractBackground: One of the nutritional problems faced by Indonesia is the occurrence of short toddlers (stunting).
