Analysis identified 39 correlates, with significant predictors including child's age, birth weight, and birth length; maternal factors like HIV status and education; dietary factors like breastfeeding and meal quality; childhood illnesses like diarrhoea; and household factors like access to safe water and toilets. The study concluded that nearly all factors reviewed were significantly associated with stunting, supporting a multi-sectoral intervention approach. The findings reinforce the need for comprehensive strategies addressing the complex determinants of childhood malnutrition.
