Stunting is a disorder of child growth and development due to chronic nutritional deficiencies that are still a public health problem in Indonesia. The World Health Organization (WHO) ranks Indonesia as the country with the third highest prevalence of stunting in Asia. One of the risk factors for stunting is chronic energy deficiency (KEK) in pregnant women which can be measured through upper arm circumference (LILA). This study aims to determine the relationship between maternal LILA during pregnancy and the incidence of stunting in toddlers in the work area of UPTD Dengilo Health Center. The study used an analytical observational method with a cross sectional design. The sampling technique was a total sampling with a total of 15 respondents in pregnant women. Data was obtained from medical records and KIA books in 2026, then analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results of the study showed that all respondents experienced SEZs (100.0%), with the incidence of stunting in toddlers at 66.7% and non-stunting at 33.3%. Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between maternal LILA during pregnancy and the incidence of stunting (p-value = 0.001). The conclusion of this study is that there is a meaningful relationship between the LILA of pregnant women and the incidence of stunting in toddlers, so the monitoring of the nutritional status of pregnant women through LILA measurement needs to be improved as an effort to prevent stunting.
