Stunting is a major nutritional problem that will have an impact on social and economic life in society. Stunting is prone to occur in toddlers. Stunting toddlers tend to find it difficult to achieve optimal growth and development potential, both physically and psychomotor. This study is a systematic review using online databases, namely Sciencedirect, ProQuest, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The keywords used are stunting, toddlers, rural areas and their impact. The purpose of the systematic review is to analyze the factors that influence the incidence of stunting in children under five in rural areas. The results of the review show that the factors that influence the occurrence of stunting in children under five in rural areas are mother's education, family income, mother's knowledge of nutrition, exclusive breastfeeding, age of giving complementary feeding, levels of zinc and iron adequacy, history of infectious diseases. and genetic factors. However, for the mother's employment status, the number of family members, immunization status, energy adequacy level, and LBW status did not affect the occurrence of stunting. The factor that most influences the occurrence of stunting in children under five in rural areas is the level of zinc adequacy. It is recommended for the community to be active in outreach activities and other health activities carried out in order to improve health status and for mothers should routinely carry out weighing at the nearest posyandu so that the growth and development of children can be monitored and can be handled immediately if problems are found in the child's growth and development.

Child malnutrition remains a significant concern in the Asia‐Pacific region, with short birth intervals recognised as a potential risk factor. However, evidence of this association is inconclusive. This study aimed to systematically review the existing evidence and assess the summary effects of short birth interval on child malnutrition in the Asia‐Pacific region. Five electronic databases were searched in May 2023 to identify relevant studies reporting the association between short birth interval and child malnutrition, including stunting, wasting, underweight, anaemia and overall malnutrition, in Asia‐Pacific region between September 2000 and May 2023. Fixed‐effects or random‐effects meta‐analysis was performed to estimate the summary effects of short birth interval on child malnutrition. Out of 56 studies meeting the inclusion criteria, 48 were included in quantitative synthesis through meta‐analysis. We found a slightly higher likelihood of stunting (n = 25, odds ratio [OR] = 1.13; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.97–1.32) and overall malnutrition (n = 3, OR = 2.42; 95% CI: 0.88–6.65) among children born in short birth intervals compared to those with nonshort intervals, although the effect was not statistically significant. However, caution is warranted due to identified heterogeneity across studies. Subgroup analysis demonstrated significant effects of short birth intervals on child malnutrition in national‐level studies and studies with larger sample sizes. These findings underscore short birth intervals as a significant contributor to child malnutrition in the Asia‐Pacific region. Implementing effective policies and programs is vital to alleviate this burden, ultimately reducing child malnutrition and associated adverse outcomes, including child mortality.

“…The results showed that the age of the maternal age at childbirth was not associated with the incidence of stunting. The previous research has also shown no significant relationship between maternal age and the incidence of stunting [31]. The age of the mother at high risk in pregnancy is >20 or <35 years [9], and the relatively young age of the mother is closely related to failure to thrive in infants aged 0-11 months [32].…”

BACKGROUND: Stunting is an adverse result condition of unfulfilled nutritional intake during pregnancy and early childhood, which affects the children’s maximum height and optimal cognitive potential. Stunting is influenced by numerous factors, both from the mother and children. Research has proven that factors related to mothers of children under 5 have essential roles in the incidence of stunting. AIM: This study intends to analyze the influence of maternal risk factors on the incidence of stunting in children under 5 in districts/cities in South Sumatra. METHODS: This study is quantitative research with a cross-sectional design, with secondary data sources from Basic Health Research 2018, carried out in 17 districts/cities in South Sumatra. RESULTS: The mothers’ characteristics most significantly related to stunting in children under 5 in the South Sumatra region are the mother’s height and mother’s education. Mothers with a height <150 cm have a 1.547 times higher risk of having stunting children (95% CI: 1.281–1.868), and mothers with low education have a 1.521 times higher risk of having stunting children (95% CI: 1.094–2.116). Moreover, mothers with secondary education are at 1.473 times higher risk of having stunting children (95% CI: 1.073–2.020). CONCLUSION: The maternal risk factors most associated with stunting in children under five in South Sumatra are maternal height and mother’s education.
