The independent variables are open defecation (stop defecation), hand washing with soap, household drinking water and food management, household waste protection, and household liquid waste protection. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using chi-square test and multiple regression test.
Results: Open defecation (OR= 20.25; 95% CI= 6.59 to 62.15; p<0.001), household waste management (OR= 13.84; 95% CI= 6.27 to 30.55; p<0.001), household waste (OR= 11.91; 95% CI= 5.53 to 25.58; p<0.001) associated with stunting and was statistically significant.
