 MOTHER AND CHILD NUTRITION

Stunting is still a global problem and one of the main problems of malnutrition
often found in toddler. The impacts include delayed growth, low endurance, lack
of intelligence and low productivity. The incidence of stunting is related to
enviromental factors, low birth weight (LBW), socioeconomic factor, lack of
nutrition, maternal education, low family income and number of family members.
In developing countries, most death in children are among the toddler. And then,
diarrhea has been implicated in the causal pathway to stunting. But, possibly
because children frequently show catch-up growth between diarrheal episodes, the
association has been surprisingly weak in many studies. The role of the gut in
mediating stunting has been relatively overlooked until recently, when attention
has refocused on the possible contribution of enteropathy to poor growth in early
life.
