The direct cause of stunting is inadequate food intake. Stunting is a linear growth disorder caused by chronic malnutrition, one of which is Vitamin A. Consumption of Vitamin A has an influence on the incidence of stunting. The important function of Vitamin A is in growth, especially in modulating bone growth through remodeling processes and plays a role in body immunity.

The results of data analysis using the Independent-Sample T-Test showed there is no significant difference between the average intake of Vitamin A for short toddlers and the average intake of Vitamin A for very short toddlers short on the incidence of stunting (p=0.595).
