Prevalence and Predictors of Stunting in Children Under Five Years of Age.
Stunting in children under five years of age is a significant health problem in many middle and low-income countries worldwide. The study aimed to analyse the prevalence and predictors of stunting in children under five years of age. Preferred reporting items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA Checklist 2020) were used for data reporting and analysis. ⋯ The remaining twenty-four studies with the prevalence of stunting under five years of age were also divided into two groups based on the age range, either <2 years or 2-5 years of age. The pooled prevalence was 39.11%. Mother's education was the most frequent predictor (85%), followed by socioeconomic status (64 %), breastfeeding (55%), and the weight of the child at birth (40%).
