Children who have insufficient or poor nutritional intake and have a short body size or very short growth status can put their intelligence or IQ (intellectual quotient) at risk. This study aims to obtain conclusions from searching journals regarding stunting prevention. Journal search and discoveries via Google Scholar and Science Direct databases. From 10 journals, it was found that preventing stunting can be done by providing health education for mothers, empowering cadres and health workers, providing balanced nutrition, monitoring the first 1000 days of life for children.
