According to the 2021 Indonesian Nutrition Status Study (SSGI) the prevalence of stunting, wasting and underweight in West Java are stated as 20.5%. 5.3% and 15% whereas the risk factors affecting malnutrition are diverse and have the potential to change over time. Therefore, it is very important to assess current nutritional status to review gaps in risk factors. <strong>Objectives: </strong>This research was conducted to analyze the risk factors for stunting, wasting and underweight in under-two children of West Java. </em></p><p><strong><em>Methods: </em></strong><em>This research is a cross-sectional study using secondary data from the Indonesian Nutrition Status Study (SSGI) 2021 which consists of 1203 subjects (6-23 months) in West Java. Risk factors of stunting, wasting. and underweight were analyzed using logistic regression. </em></p><p><strong><em>Results: </em></strong><em>The prevalence of stunting, wasting and underweight among children aged 6-23 months were 20.5%, 5.7% and 11.6%, respectively. The risk factors for stunting are age 12-23 months (AOR=3.10 CI 95% 2.16-4.45), short birth length (AOR=1.85 CI 95% 1.30-2.62), mother’s low education level (AOR=1.97 CI 95% 1.45-2.68) and not breastfeeding (AOR= 0.46 CI 95% 0.31-0.68) as a protective factor for stunting. low maternal education level (AOR=0.5 CI 95% 0.34-0.94) as a protective factor for wasting. The risk factor for underweight is age 12-23 months (OR=1.92 95% CI 1.25 -2.95) and does not have exclusively breastfed (AOR=0.54 CI 95% 0.35-0.83) as a protective factor for underweight. </em></p><p><strong><em>Conclusions: </em></strong><em>Influential factors to stunting are age, birth length, mother's education level, and breastfeeding status. Factor influences wasting is the education level of the mother. Factors influence underweight are age and history of exclusive breastfeeding.</em><em></em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong>KEYWORDS</strong><strong><em>: </em></strong><em>risk factors; SSGI; undernutrition; under-two children; West Java </em><em></em></p>
