Background: The problem of stunting occurs in developing countries including Indonesia. In Indonesia the prevalence of child stunting is 30.8%, still above the world prevalence, which is 22.2%. The prevalence of stunting in sub-Saharan Africa is 34.5%, in Ethiopia is 52.4%, and the prevalence of stunting in Congo is 40%. While WHO stipulates that nutrition problems should not exceed 20%. Stunting could inhibit linear growth, development and degenerative diseases later in adulthood.Objective: This review discussed the risk factors of child stunting in developing countries.Discusion: One of the causes of increased stunting in children was due to inadequate nutritional intake in a long period. Stunting was often not realized by parents and only visible after the age of 2 due to low stature. Based on the results of the literature review the likelihood of stunting in developing country were: 16.43 times morelikely due to low birth length, 3.27 times higher due to maternal education, 2.45 times higher if the children were living in rural area, 4.5 times higher due to low birth weight, no risk Antenatal Care increase the risk 3.4 times, 6.38 times higher due to no immunization, and no exclusive breastfeeding increase the risk of stunting 4.0 times.Conclusion: The risk factor for child stunting in developing countries are exclusive breastfeeding, socioeconomic, low birth weight, length of birth, low maternal education, infectious disease.ABSTRAKLatar Belakang: Masalah stunting (stunting) yang terjadi di Negara Berkembang seperti Indonesia masih tinggi yaitu 30,8% masih di atas dunia yaitu 22,2%. Stunting di sub sahara Afrika 34,5%, di Ethiopia 52,4%, prevalensi stunting di Congo 40%. Word Health Organization sudah menentukan bahwa terjadinya masalah gizi suatu negara sebaiknya kurang dari 20%. Stunting memiliki risiko gangguan pertumbuhan, perkembangan dan penyakit degeneratif pada usia dewasa nanti.Tujuan: Review ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi faktor risikos apa saja yang dapat menentukan terjadinya stunting anak di Negara berkembang.Ulasan: Berdasarkan dari beberapa hasil penelitian menyebutkan bahwa salah satu penyebab stunting pada anak adalah karena tidak terpenuhinya gizi yang baik pada kurun waktu yang panjang dan sering kali tidak disadari oleh orang tuanya sehingga setelah anak usia di atas 2 tahun baru terlihat bahwa anaknya mengalami stunting. Berdasarkan hasil literatur review menunjukkan bahwa faktor risiko terjadinya stunting adalah panjang lahir berisiko 16,43 kali, pendidikan ibu yang rendah berisiko 3,27 kali, serta anak yang tinggal di desa berisiko 2,45 kali, BBLR berisiko 4,5 kali, tidak ANC berisiko 3,4 kali, tidak imunisasi berisiko 6,38 kali, dan tidak ASI Eksklusif berisiko 4,0 kali adalah merupakan faktor risiko stunting anak di negara berkembang.Kesimpulan: Hasil sintesis ini secara konsisten yang menjadi faktor risikos terjadinya stunting pada anak di negara berkembang adalah tidak diberikan ASI eksklusif, sosial ekonomi, berat bayi lahir rendah, panjang lahir, pendidikan ibu rendah, penyakit infeksi.

Background Although several studies have examined the link between different food groups intake and stunting among children, no study, to our knowledge, was done on exceptional children. The aim of this study was assessed the association of dietary intake and stunting in Iranian exceptional children.Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted on 470 exceptional children (226 mentally retarded, 182 deaf and 62 blind children), aged 5–15 years. Height was measured using standard tool. Stunting was defined as height-for-age z-score of <-1. A validated dietary habit questionnaire was applied to assess dietary intakes.Results Mean age of children was 10.02 ± 2.04 years. Stunting was prevalent among 50.6% of children. Compared with children in the lowest category of dairy consumption, those in the highest category had lower odds of stunting. This association remained significant even after adjusting for covariates (OR: 0.50, 95% CI: 0.29–0.87). In addition, moderate consumption of egg (1–3 time/wk) was inversely associated with stunting either before or after controlling for potential confounders (OR: 0.36, 95% CI: 0.21–0.64). Such finding was also seen among mentally retarded children (OR: 0.38, 95% CI: 0.16–0.89). No other significant association was seen between intakes of other food groups (including meat, fruits and vegetables) and stunting.Conclusion We found that higher intake of dairy products and egg was associated with lower risk of stunting. However, intakes of other food groups including meat, fruits and vegetables were not significantly related to stunting.

“…The factors associated with stunting are very complex and interconnected with each other. The factors can be classified as distant factors, like socioeconomic status of the household, followed by intermediate factors, such as environmental factors and health service-related characteristics and immediate factors such as maternal, child and nutritional characteristics [6,[13][14][15][16][17]. A systematic review and meta-analysis of 21 studies in Africa found that the predictors of stunting were complementary feeding practice, maternal under nutrition, household food insecurity, economic growth, and maternal education, as principal determinants of stunting [6].…”

“…In Ethiopia, different studies identified different risk factors associated with stunting [13][14][15][16]. A study in northern Ethiopia found that being female, belonging to age group of 25-59 months, and birth weight of <2.5 kg, mothers' lack of antenatal visits, and mistimed complementary feeding initiation were positively associated with childhood stunting; whereas educational status of the mother showed negative association [13].…”

“…However, a study in northeast Ethiopia identified the factors associated with stunting as being male, increasing age, large family size, poor wealth status, illiterate mother, leftover food, living in a rural area, and experiencing less frequent feedings were significantly associated with stunting [14]. In addition, as study in northwest Ethiopia revealed that increased age of the child , and the family size of six and above were positively associated with stunting, while fathers with secondary school education, farmers as household heads, and self-employed parents as household head were found to be preventive factors [15]. A rigorous analysis of the 2011 EDHS [27], did not include nutritional factors and the predictors that might vary through time [18].…”

Background Despite the continued effort to address malnutrition, there is a minimal reduction in the rate of stunting in developing countries including Ethiopia. Nutritional and socioeconomic factors have not been assed using a rigorous analysis so far. Therefore, this study aims to model the effect of nutritional and socioeconomic predictors using 2016 Ethiopian Demographic health survey. Methods This study is a secondary of data analysis of the 2016 EDHS survey. 7909 children of age 6-59 months were included. Descriptive statistics using frequency and percentage for categorical data and mean and standard deviation for metric data were conducted. Linearity, confounding and multicolinearity were checked. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression were carried out. Odds ratio and 95% confidence interval were calculated. Receiver operative curve was built to estimate the sensitivity and specificity of the model. Result The study identified as 39.2% of children included to this analysis were stunted. 76.47%, 84.27%, 92.62% of the children did not consume fruits and vegetables, legumes and lentils, and meat and its products respectively. Children aged 24 month to 59 months were at 9.71 times higher risk of being stunted compared to younger children of age 6-24 months old (AOR: 9.71; CI: 8.07, 11.6 children) with weights below 9.1 kilogram were at 27.86 odds of being stunted compared to those weight of 23.3 kg and above. Moreover, mothers below 150 cm tall (AOR: 2.01; CI: 1.76, 2.5), living in a rural area (AOR: 1.3, CI: 1.09, 1.54) and being male (AOR: 1.4; CI: 1.26, 1.56) were associated with stunting. Predictive ability of the model was 77% correctly such pair of observation. Conclusion The model indicates that being born male, being from a mother of short stature, living in the rural area, small child size, mother with mild anemia, being from a husband with no education or primary education only, having low weight, and reaching age above 24 months increases the likelihood of stunting. On the other hand, being born of an overweight or obese mother decreases the likelihood of stunting.
