Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals maternal age and income significantly affect stunting rates in toddlers, suggesting public health interventions are needed.

Key Points

  • Stunting in children under five is significantly influenced by maternal age, parity, and family economic status, indicating a need for targeted interventions.
  • Analyses showed a 1.084 times increase in stunting risk associated with maternal age and a 2.153 times increase linked to family income.
  • The cross-sectional analysis involved 65 mothers of toddlers, employing methods like chi-square tests and multinomial logistic regression.
  • These findings highlight the importance of improving family income and reproductive health to reduce stunting risk among young children.
