“…Mikawati's research (2019) stated that there was a significant relationship between maternal height and the incidence of stunting in children with p value = 0.026 (Mikawati et al, 2019), as well as from another study by Nasution et al (2014) that maternal height is significantly associated with stunting in children OR 2,14 (95% CI 1,08-4,33). Mothers with less than normal height are at risk of 2 times greater risk of having stunting children (Nasution et al, 2014).…”
