“… 18 A study among 6–12 month-old children also showed that younger mothers tend to give less variety in homemade complementary food, heightening the risk of child malnutrition. 19 This result conforms to other research findings in Indonesia on stunting at birth in children, indicating the lowest risk for stunting among mothers 20–35 years old, 20 although in this study, this age range was 25–35 years.…”

Background: The Maluku region encompasses thousands of islands. The study analyzed factors related to stunting among children under two years old in the Maluku Region of Indonesia. Study Design: A cross-sectional study. Methods: This cross-sectional study examined 4764 children under two years. In addition to nutritional status (stature), the study analyzed ten independent variables (province, residence, maternal age, marital status, maternal education, employment, wealth, children’s age, gender, and early initiation of breastfeeding [EIBF]). Finally, the contribution of various factors to stunting was examined using logistic regression. Results: Children in Maluku province were 1.13 times more likely than those in North Maluku province to become stunted. In addition, children aged 12-13 months were 4.09 times more likely than<12 months, and boys were 1.87 times more likely than girls to have the patterns of stunting. Children in rural areas were 1.10 times more likely to become stunted than those in urban areas (95% confidence interval: 1.06, 1.14). Divorced/widowed mothers were 1.88 times more likely than married mothers. Mothers of all education levels were more likely than those without formal education, and unemployed mothers were 1.07 times more likely than employed mothers to have stunted children. The possibility of becoming stunted was lower when the children were wealthier. Conclusion: Nine variables were related to stunted incidence, including province, residence, maternal age, marital status, maternal education, employment, wealth, children’s age, and gender.

BackgroundWasting, stunting, and underweight in children are complex health challenges shaped by a combination of immediate, underlying, and systemic factors. Even though copious data demonstrates that the causation routes for stunting and wasting are similar, little is known about the correlations between the diseases in low- and middle-income nations.ObjectiveThe objective of this study is to evaluate the factors that concurrently affect wasting, stunting, and underweight in <5-year-olds with severe acute malnutrition (SAM).MethodThis review adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. We searched every electronic database that was available, from the medRxiv pre-print site, PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Google Scholar, and Scopus, in addition to the Science Direct search engine. We considered research conducted in low- and middle-income nations on <5-year-olds with SAM. The Newcastle Ottawa Scale was used to assess the quality of the studies.ResultsAfter screening and selecting 12 eligible studies, 1,434,207 records were included for analysis. The prevalence of factors influencing concurrent wasting, stunting, and being underweight was 26.42% in low-middle -income countries (LMI). The prevalence was higher in men, with wasting, stunting, and underweight at 14.2, 4.1, and 27.6%, respectively. Unprotected drinking water was associated with stunting [odds ratio = 0.68; 95CI (0.50, 0.92)]. Being male is another factor (aOR = 2.04, 95% CI: 1.13, 3.68). Lack of prenatal care follow-up was associated with a lower risk of wasting (OR = 2.20, 95% CI: 1.04, 4.64), while low birth weight (<2.5 kg), diarrhea, having a younger child, and being from a poor household were associated with wasting, stunting, and underweight. Other factors included body mass index (BMI) for age aOR = 2.11, 95% CI: (0.07, 0.895); maternal education: stunting [aOR = 1.52, 95% CI: (0.09, 0.89)], underweight [aOR = 1.97, 95% CI: (0.01, 0.73)], and open defecation, stunting [aOR = 1.62, 95% CI: (0.06, 0.32)], underweight [aOR = 1.92, 95% CI: (0.042, 0.257)]). Likelihood of being underweight increased with birth order (second born, aOR = 1.92, 95% CI 1.09–3.36; third born, aOR = 6.77, 95% CI 2.00–22.82).ConclusionInadequate dietary intake, illness, food insecurity, poor maternal and child care, poor hygiene and sanitation, and healthcare inaccessibility contribute to SAM.
