Stunting ialah kegagalan pertumbuhan linier seseorang guna mencapai potensi maksimal. WHO memperkirakan bahwa 22% anak di bawah usia lima tahun mengalami stunting secara global. Menurut WHO 2018 Kejadian stunting di Indonesia mencapai 36,4% menduduki posisi tertinggi ke-3 di Asia Tenggara
setelah Bangladesh dan Myanmar. Faktor ? faktor yang menyebabkan stunting diantaranya adalah tingkat pengetahuan ibu terhadap nutrisi, infeksi, genetic dan lingkungan. Bagi balita yang mengalami stunting juga terdapat efek jangka pendek dan jangka panjang jika tidak segera ditangani. Efek jangka pendek diantaranya meningkatnya angka kematian pada balita, perkembangan kognitif dan motorik bayi yang kurang baik. Sementara, efek jangka panjang yang dialami balita adalah postur tubuh pendek, performa belajar kurang bagus, serta produktivitas kerja yang tak optimal. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui Hubungan Karakteristik Balita dan Ibu Terhadap Kejadian Stunting di Desa Cimarga Sumedang pada Tahun 2022. Jenis peneltian yang digunakan adalah analitik observatif cross sectional dengan uji chi square.Data yang digunakan adalah data sekunder yang didapat dari stunting center FK UKI, dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 53 responden. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian mayoritas anak tidak mengalami stunting. Untuk karakteristik anak, mayoritas anak berusia 24 ? 60 bulan, kebanyakan berjenis kelamin laki ? laki dan jumlah saudara terbanyak adalah 1 ? 2 bersaudara.Selanjutnya, mayoritas ibu berpendidikan rendah dan tidak bekerja. Pendapatan keluarga mayoritas di bawah UMR. Berdasarkan hasil uji chi square tidak ditemukan adanya hubungan antara usia, jenis kelamin, jumlah saudara, urutan lahir, pendidikan ibu, pekerjaan ibu dan pendapatan keluarga dengan stunting (P = >0,05).

Stunting is the failure of a person's linear growth to reach maximum potential. WHO estimates that 22% of children under the age of five are stunted globally. According to WHO 2018, stunting incidence in Indonesia reached 36.4%, occupying the 3rd highest position in Southeast Asia after Bangladesh and
Myanmar. Factors that cause stunting include the mother's level of knowledge about nutrition, infection, genetics and the environment. For toddlers who experience stunting there are also short-term and long-term effects if not treated
immediately. Short-term effects include increased mortality in children under five, poor cognitive and motor development of infants. Meanwhile, the long-term effects experienced by toddlers are short stature, poor learning performance, and
suboptimal work productivity. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between the characteristics of children under five and mothers to the incidence of stunting in Cimarga Village Sumedang in 2022. The type of research
used was an analytical cross sectional observation with the chi square test. The data used were secondary data obtained from the stunting center of the UKI Medical Faculty, with the number of samples as many as 53 respondents. Based
on the results of the study, the majority of children did not experience stunting. For the characteristics of children, the majority of children are aged 24 ? 60
months, most of them are male and the highest number of siblings is 1 ? 2 siblings. Furthermore, the majority of mothers have low education and do not work. The majority family income is below the minimum wage. Based on the
results of the chi square test, there was no relationship between age, gender, number of siblings, birth order, mother's education, mother's occupation and family income with stunting (P = > 0.05).
