Risk Factors Related to Stunting

“…Premature newborns, chromosal abnormalities and uterine growth retardation are all high-risk pregnancy outcomes for pregnant women who are too old (Fall et al, 2015). Malnutrition and other growth deficits that may result in stunting are likely to be caused by this, which will have an impact on children's growth and development (Pusmaika et al, 2022;Wanimbo & Wartiningsih, 2020;Nurhidayati, Rosiana & Rozikhan, 2015).…”
