Cross-sectional study finds dietary diversity linked to stunting in toddlers, while food security shows no association.

31.4% of toddlers in the study were stunted, indicating a significant public health issue in the region.
Results show that dietary diversity significantly impacts stunting among toddlers, with a p-value of less than 0.05.
Household food security was assessed through a USDA-adapted questionnaire and did not show a significant link with stunting.
The findings suggest that promoting dietary diversity, particularly local foods, is crucial for addressing stunting.

Nuryani et al. (2025) studied this question.
