“…25 However, the epidemiology of SBI including its prevalence, determinants and effects on maternal and child health outcomes in the Asia-Pacific region has not been well studied and described. The Asia-Pacific region is home to more than half of the world's population 26 and most are low-and-middleincome countries (LMICs) with economic barriers to the delivery of high-quality maternal and child healthcare. 27 The use of modern contraceptives, including the use of long-acting methods, which are the most effective methods for optimal birth spacing, 28 varies across, and within, countries in this region.…”

BackgroundShort birth interval (SBI) has been linked to an increased risk of adverse maternal, perinatal, infant and child health outcomes. However, the prevalence and maternal and child health impacts of SBI in the Asia-Pacific region have not been well understood. This study aims to identify and summarise the existing evidence on SBI including its definition, measurement prevalence, determinants and association with adverse maternal and child health outcomes in the Asia-Pacific region.MethodsFive databases (MEDLINE, Scopus, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Maternity and Infant Care, and Web of Science (WoS)) will be systematically searched from September 2000 up to May 2023. Data will be extracted, charted, synthesised and summarised based on the outcomes measured, and where appropriate, meta-analysis will be performed. The risk of bias will be assessed using Joanna Briggs Institute quality appraisal. Grading of Recommendation Assessment, Development and Evaluation framework will be used to evaluate the quality of cumulative evidence from the included studies.Ethics and disseminationThis review does not require ethics approval. Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, policy briefs and conference presentations.PROSPERO registration numberA protocol will be registered on PROSPERO for each separate outcome before performing the review.Cite Now

“…They need to grow and develop physically and psychosocially well, with the best nutrition support and environment. 1,2 Overweight and obesity in children, especially in developing countries, are more common in the high social group, children with highly educated parents. Research in the middle to high-income countries or developed countries showed that obesity in children relates negatively to parent education.…”

The consequences of poverty and food insecurity can indirectly contribute to obesity. Long-term effect of stunting children may be the risk factor for overweight and obesity in the poor in Indonesia. The role of parental education is also associated with overweight and obesity in children. This study wanted to see the risk of stunted children becoming overweight and obese based on maternal education among poor people in Indonesia. This study involved three cohorts design. Cohort 1 is a 14-year cohort, and two 7-year cohorts for cohorts 2 and 3. We used secondary longitudinal data from Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) 3 (2000), IFLS 4 (2007), and IFLS 5 (2014). After stratification by high maternal education and economic status of the family, there is an increased risk of stunting children becoming overweight and obese, with a risk ratio of 2 in cohort 1 and 1.69 in cohort 2. These results show that stunted children with high-education mothers and stay lived in the low-income family have a 1.69 to 2 times higher risk of becoming overweight and obese. This result shows the importance of primary education and health education for women to increase children’s health in the future.
