“…Children from the lower-middle class had a greater risk of stunting (OR 2.1, p< 0.001) than those from the upper-middle class. The family's socioeconomic status is known to be associated with children's nutritional status [10]. Family economic factors can impact low purchasing power, in this case, food for the family.…”

Background: Children under five years are in the golden growth and development period; however, an excellent nutritional status must support optimal growth and development. The nutritional status of children under five years needs special attention. An overview of the nutritional status of children in a region is the first step to determine the factors that affect the nutritional status of children under five in that region. Method: This was a descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. Results: The results showed that children under five aged 0 – 23 months were 35.47%, while those aged 24-59 months were 64.53%, boys were 52.95%, and girls were 47.05%. Children under five years with inferior nutritional status (index weight/age) of 2.63%, children with nutritional status of stunting (index for height/age) of 12.57%. Children with a malnutrition status (index weight/height) of 2.41%. Conclusion: The problem of stunting and wasting nutrition is still found in the work area Puskesmas Cipadung. These problems can arise due to poor parenting and lack of nutritious food intake due to parents' low education and income level.

“…Therefore, a higher level of wealth and assets may prevent children from stunting (31). On the other hand, some studies announced that there is no relationship between SES and stunting ( 27), (33), (47). However, several studies show that a considerable proportion of stunted children are from low-income households (27).…”

Background: The evidence indicates a high prevalence of malnutrition, such as stunting and overweight, among Iranian children. Yet, this prevalence may not be equally distributed across socioeconomic groups, so that non-targeted policies may be ineffective. This paper aimed to measure the socioeconomic patterning of children's stunting and overweight status, and the mediating role of nutrition patterns. Methods: The data were derived from the 2017 Demography and Health Survey (DHS) and the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS), which were conducted in Iran. A sample of 19,270 children under the age of five was selected through a two-stage random sampling process. Children aged between 2 and 5 years were selected for the study (n=11,147). The probability of stunting and overweight was modeled using logistic regressions. The parental education and occupation and living conditions (areas and assets of the household) were considered as explanatory variables. The Diet Diversity Score was then factored in as mediation factor. Analyses were adjusted for age and sex. Results: The odds of stunting were more than 1.7 times greater among children whose father only completed primary school and more than twice higher among children whose mother was illiterate. Children of unemployed fathers had a 1.69-fold greater risk of stunting, while the risk was almost 1.5 higher in children living in smaller houses. Finally, a gradient was also observed related to poor living resources, with 2.01 times greater odds of stunting for children from families without assets. The results were less socially patterned for overweight, which was still significantly lower among children from low-educated fathers. Although a higher Diet Diversity Score (DDS) was associated with a decrease in stunting and an increase in overweight, these associations did not modify the link between socioeconomic status and stunting and overweight. Discussion: Malnutrition, especially stunting, more severely affects children from Iranian households with a lower socioeconomic background. Parental education, unemployment of father, area and assets were the most accurate factors for disentangling these inequalities, suggesting policies targeting more vulnerable groups.

“…Meanwhile, it is linked to a lack of access to various facilities and opportunities, discrimination, and a weak position in the decision-making process from a political standpoint [16]. For families with high incomes, they are more focused on fulfilling proper basic needs such as food, clothing, housing, education and others [17]. A family's degree of education, particularly that of the mother, might have an impact on the nutritional health of its children.…”

The global COVID-19 pandemic has raised the risk of malnutrition in children under five years, including stunting. Stunting is common in low-income regions, when families cannot afford nutritious meals. Stunting may become more common as a result of changes in family socioeconomic circumstances, personal cleanliness, and environmental sanitation during the pandemic. This study determined the effect of socioeconomic factors and hygiene sanitation during COVID-19 pandemic on the incidence of stunting in coastal areas. This was analytical survey research with cross sectional approach. The total sample was 3886 families who had toddlers aged 0-59 months in the coastal areas in Surabaya City, Indonesia. The study found that low family income, hand-washing habits, clean water sources, sewer access, waste management, and healthy latrine have significant impact to malnutrition, especially stunting.
