Abstract: Objective: This study analyzes trends in stunting prevention research through a bibliometric approach to identify developments, international collaborations, and the most effective interventions. Methods: Analysis was conducted on 959 articles from the Scopus database (1972–2025) using VOSviewer and Microsoft Excel. The keywords "Stunting" AND "Prevention" were used for data extraction, with the inclusion criteria being English-language articles from 2013–2023. Results: The number of studies increased significantly, peaking in 2024 (176 articles). Collaboration: Indonesia contributed 16 articles (20.5%), but only 18.8% involved international collaboration, compared to the US (62.5%). Effective Interventions: A combination of nutritional supplementation, improved sanitation, and behavioral education. Determinants: Maternal education, family income, and access to clean water play a crucial role. Conclusion: Stunting prevention requires a multisectoral approach that is adaptive to local contexts, with global research collaboration to strengthen policy implementation. Integration of nutrition-specific and sensitive interventions (sanitation, education) has proven to be most effective, especially in the First 1000 Days of Life.
