This paper aimed to identify factors associated with stunting among children aged 0\u201323 months, 24\u201359 months, and 0\u201359 months in South Asia. A weighted sample of 564,518 children aged 0\u201359 months from the most recent Demographic and Health Surveys (2014\u20132018) was combined of five countries in South Asia. Multiple logistic regression analyses that adjusted for clustering and sampling weights were used to examine associated factors. The common factors associated with stunting in three age groups were mothers with no schooling ([adjusted odds ratio (AOR) for 0\u201323 months = 1.65; 95% CI: (1.29, 2.13)]; [AOR for 24\u201359 months = AOR = 1.46; 95% CI: (1.27, 1. 69)] and [AOR for 0\u201359 months = AOR = 1.59; 95% CI: (1.34, 1. 88)]) and maternal short stature (height &lt; 150 cm) ([AOR for 0\u201323 months = 2.00; 95% CI: (1.51, 2.65)]; [AOR for 24\u201359 months = 3.63; 95% CI: (2.87, 4.60)] and [AOR for 0\u201359 months = 2.87; 95% CI: (2.37, 3.48)]). Study findings suggest the need for a balanced and integrated nutrition strategy that incorporates nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions with an increased focus on interventions for children aged 24\u201359 months.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu12123875","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,18]],"date-time":"2020-12-18T11:42:09Z","timestamp":1608291729000},"page":"3875","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":77,"title":["Factors Associated with Stunting among Children under 5 Years in Five South Asian Countries (2014\u20132018): Analysis of Demographic Health Surveys"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Nidhi","family":"Wali","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Social Sciences, Western Sydney University, Locked Bag 1797, Penrith, NSW 2751, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4111-3207","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kingsley E.","family":"Agho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health Sciences, Western Sydney University, Campbelltown Campus, Locked Bag 1797, Penrith, NSW 2571, Australia"},{"name":"African Vision Research Institute, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Westville Campus, Durban 3629, South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6844-0833","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andre M.N.","family":"Renzaho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Social Sciences, Western Sydney University, Locked Bag 1797, Penrith, NSW 2751, Australia"},{"name":"Translational Health Research Institute, Western Sydney University, Locked Bag 1797, Penrith, NSW 2571, Australia"},{"name":"Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health Program, Burnet Institute, Melbourne 3004, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"United Nations International Children\u2019s Fund, World Health Organization, and The World Bank (2011).
