The results of the bivariate analysis test using a simple Chi-square test showed that there was a significant relationship between eating parenting and the incidence of stunting (p < 0.038). there is a significant relationship between health care patterns and the incidence of stunting (p < 0.027). There is no significant relationship between psychosocial parenting and the incidence of stunting (p < 0.205).
