Results: The relationship between personal hygiene (OR=5.762; p=0.012; 95% CI=1.363– 24.362), water availability (OR=4.571; p=0.349; 95% CI=0.473–44.170), and environmental sanitation with stunting incidence (OR=9.333; p=0.001; 95% CI=2.431– 35.839). The results of the multivariate analysis of the relationship between personal hygiene (OR=3.867; p=0.111; =1.353; 95% CI=0.732–20.423), water availability (OR=10.305; p=0.066; =2.333; 95 % CI =0.858–123.732), and environmental sanitation with stunting incidence (OR=10.535; p=0.002; =2.355; 95% CI=2.419–45.887).
