Stunting in Indonesia is a national public health problem that needs serious attention, because it is classified as high according to WHO standards, reaching 30-39%. Stunting reflects chronic malnutrition and can have long-term effects, resulting in stunted growth, decreased cognitive and mental abilities, susceptibility to disease, low economic productivity, and low quality of reproductive output. One of the causes of stunting can be influenced by several factors such as environmental sanitation, food processing, and also mother's knowledge of stunting. Unhealthy environmental sanitation will affect the health of children under five and in the end can affect the nutritional status of these toddlers.
