Observational analytic with a case-control approach, using the Purposive-Sampling method. The research sample consisted of 76 toddlers aged 25-59 months. The statistical analysis used was the chi-square test and logistic regression test. The result of chi-square test and logistic regression for stunting on nutrient intake variable ( p = 0.000, OR = 26,3, CI 95% (4,630-153,573), history of breastfeeding (p=0,000, OR=72,6,CI95% (7,63-690,78), iodized salt (p=0,000, OR=8,5,CI 95% (1,833-39,421), FE tablet (p=0,000,OR=37,00, CI 95%(3,762-363,91). The result of chi-square test and logistic regression for short stature on nutrient intake variable (p=0.001, OR=7,2,CI 95% (2,260-23,400), history of breast feeding (p=0,007, OR=4,500,CI 95% (1,210-16,742), iodized salt (p=0,007, OR=19,125, CI 95% (5,062-72,259), FE tablet (p=0,149).
