Data of socio-economic and cultural factors were taken using structured questionnaire and in-depth interview. The occurence of stunting was 32.7%. Education level, dietary restriction during pregnancy, and prelacteal intake significantly correlated with the occurence of stunting (p0.05). Multivariate analysis showed prelacteal intake as the most influential factor that affecting the incidence of stunting.The prevalence of stunting in the Batalaiworu district is higher than the national prevalence of stunting.
