The data was analyzed using Analysis of covariance test at (α=0.05). Result and Discussion: There was significant association between physical quality of clean water with incidence of stunting (p=0.036). Also, quqlity of sewerage significantly correlated to incidence of stunting (p=0.011). Significantly association also found between quality of latrines with incidence of stunting (p=0.005). On the other hand, history of infectious disease (p=0.100), personal hygiene (p=0.347), pesticide exposure (p=0.06), and cigarette smoke exposure (p=0.077) were not associated with inciden of stunting.
