Stunting is a major nutritional problem that has not been resolved. According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2022, the prevalence of stunting was 22.3%, or around 148.1 million. Stunting is influenced by maternal health in pregnancy, infants under five, and maternal health in the preconception period. This research aims to determine the early detection of stunting risk in brides. This study is a literature review using PubMed and the Google database to identify articles published in 2015–2023. The main objective of this study was to determine the risk factors for stunting in the preconception period. Although many studies discuss stunting, most tend to discuss the causes of stunting in the prenatal and infant-toddler phases. In addition, the preconception period has a major contribution to pregnancy, which will affect the health of the fetus in the womb. If not addressed, it will cause trans-generational problems. Prevention of stunting is more effective than treatment of stunting. Stunting can be prevented since the preconception period, especially in prospective brides, by detecting early screening for stunting risk. Early screening for stunting can be done by identifying factors that are at risk of stunting, including age, BMI, anemia, mid-upper arm circumference, and smoking behavior.
