In 2022, through the Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey (SSGI) the stunting prevalence in under-five children in Indonesia has decreased to 21.6%. The purpose of this study was to determine environmental risk factors for stunting. The method in this study uses the literature review method by selecting data sources according to the desired topics and criterias. The database used in the source search is google scholar and ejournal.undip.ac.id, with the keywords water, sanitation, hygiene, and stunting.
