The problem of stunting is still a serious problem because the rate is still high in Indonesia. Stunting in toddlers is the result of several factors, both direct and indirect. It is directly caused by insufficient food intake, and infectious diseases. Environmental problems are an indirect consequence of stunting, which is closely related to infectious diseases. This study aims to analyses environmental factors related to the incidence of stunting in toddlers in Siak Regency, Riau Province. This study is an analytical study with a cross sectional study approach, with a confidence level of 0.05. The population in this study is mothers who have toddlers aged 0-60 months with a sample of 312 respondents. The sampling technique in this study is the Purposive Sampling method. The analysis was carried out univariate, bivariate and multivariate which was analyzed using SPSS 29 software. Of the 8 environmental variables, 3 variables were found to be significantly related to the incidence of stunting, namely: between drinking water sources (p = < 0.001), house conditions (p = 0.024), and hand washing with soap (p = 0.039). Meanwhile, the type of toilet, the cleanliness of the house environment, the ventilation of the house, the condition of the walls and floors of the house, the treatment of drinking water before consumption, and the area of the building, with p-values of 0.878, 0.108, 0.224, 0.913, and 0.301, respectively, there was no relationship between the facilities and the incidence of stunting In conclusion, there was a significant relationship with the incidence of stunting from the availability of drinking water sources, house conditions, and washing hands with soap affected the incidence of stunting.
