Results: children aged 1-15 months experienced an improvement in nutrition 37% while the same nutritional status was 78%, children aged 16-30 months experienced an improvement in nutritional status 13.3% while those who did not experienced nutritional improvement were 86.7%, aged 46¬- 60 months as much as 50% and did not experience an improvement in nutrition as much as 50%. After the Ch-Square test was carried out with a P-Value of 0.022 that there was no significant relationship between stunting children's age and improvement in stunting children's nutritional status.
