Birth length data were available for 756 newborns. Univariable, bivariable, and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to determine associations between the physical factors of parents and children and stunting at birth.Results: In total, 10.2% of children aged 0 months were stunted at birth (10.7% of males and 9.5% of females). Stunting at birth was associated with the mother\u2019s age at first pregnancy, parity, parents\u2019 heights, parents\u2019 ages, and gestational age. Children from mothers with short statures (height &lt;145.0 cm) and fathers with short statures (height &lt;161.9 cm) had an almost 6 times higher likelihood of being stunted at birth (adjusted odds ratio, 5.93; 95% confidence interval, 5.53 to 6.36). A higher maternal age at first pregnancy had a protective effect against stunting. However, other variables (firstborn child, preterm birth, and both parents\u2019 ages being &lt;20 or &gt;35 years) corresponded to a 2-fold higher likelihood of stunting at birth compared to the reference.Conclusions: These findings provide evidence that interventions to reduce stunting aimed at pregnant females should also consider the parents\u2019 stature, age, and parity, particularly if it is the first pregnancy and if the parents are short in stature or young. Robust programs to support pregnant females and monitor children\u2019s heights from birth will help prevent intergenerational stunting.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3961\/jpmph.21.120","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,29]],"date-time":"2021-08-29T14:57:10Z","timestamp":1630249030000},"page":"309-316","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3961\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["The
