The sample of this research used simple random sampling method. The sample of this study amounted to 68 respondents. Data analysis was carried out in two stages, namely univariate analysis and bivariate analysis with Chi-square statistical test. The results of the bivariate analysis showed that there was a relationship between iodine intake (p value = 0.018), there was a relationship between vitamin D (p value = 0.000) and the incidence of stunting in children aged 12-24 months. These suggestions are expected to be taken into consideration in decision making, can improve the quality of services, especially regarding the incidence of stunting in toddlers aged 12-24 months.
