Abstract
Stunting, characterized by low height-for-age, is a chronic malnutrition condition that primarily manifests during the first 1,000 days of life. According to the World Health Organization (WHO 2020), the maximum acceptable prevalence of stunting is 20%. Timor Leste has a significantly higher prevalence of stunting, at 47.1%. Previous research has shown that maternal characteristics from pregnancy to child-rearing phase play an important role in stunting. This study aims to identify the relationship between maternal factors and the incidence of stunting during the first two years of lifeDownloads
