Abstract

Worldwide, there were an estimated 144 million children with stunting, the commonest form of childhood malnutrition. The current knowledge gap about the leading causes of stunting can be filled by identifying the maternal and child factors as determinants of this public health problem. This study showed significant associations between lower birth weight, delivery week, and maternal height with an increased likelihood of stunting.
