Besides nutritional status (stature), the study analyzed five children\u2019s characteristics as exposure variables (birth weight, birth length, early initiation of breastfeeding, gender, and age) and six control variables (residence, maternal age, marital, maternal education, employment, wealth).

Children with short birth lengths are 1.373 times more likely than those with standard measurements to be stunted (95% CI 1.331\u20131.417). On the other hand, children without early initiation of breastfeeding are 1.034 times more likely than those with early initiation of breastfeeding (95% CI 1.013\u20131.057). Meanwhile, a boy is 1.426 times more likely to be stunted than a girl to experience stunting (95% CI 1.397\u20131.456). Moreover, based on children\u2019s age, 12\u201323 are 3.435 times more likely than those \u226412 to be stunted (95% CI 3.360\u20132.513).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study concluded that five children\u2019s characteristics were related to the stunting incidence in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia: birth weight, birth length, early breastfeeding initiation, gender, and age.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijcm.ijcm_384_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,23]],"date-time":"2025-01-23T13:00:07Z","timestamp":1737637207000},"page":"162-168","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Children\u2019s Characteristics as the Predictors of Stunting among Children Under 2 Years in East Nusa Tenggara in Indonesia"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"50","author":[{"family":"Tumaji","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Research and Innovation Agency, Republic of Indonesia, Jakarta, Indonesia"},{"name":"Doctoral Program, Faculty of Public Health, Universitas Airlangga, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Agung D.","family":"Laksono","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Research and Innovation Agency, Republic of Indonesia, Jakarta, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hastin D.","family":"Kusumawardani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Research and Innovation Agency, Republic of Indonesia, Jakarta, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20260423","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"111532.","DOI":"10.1016\/j.nut.2021.111532","article-title":"Determinants of stunting and wasting in street children in Northwest Ethiopia: A community-based study","volume":"94","author":"Mulu","year":"2022","journal-title":"Nutrition"},{"key":"R2-20260423","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"111996.","DOI":"10.1016\/j.nut.2023.111996","article-title":"Prevalence and associated factors influencing stunting and wasting among children aged 1 to 5 years in Nkwanta South Municipality, Ghana","volume":"110","author":"Danso","year":"2023","journal-title":"Nutrition"},{"key":"R3-20260423","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"120","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jped.2022.07.006","article-title":"The tendency of stunting among children under five in the Northern Region of Brazil, according to the Food and Nutrition Surveillance System, 2008\u20132017","volume":"99","author":"Corr\u00eaa","year":"2023","journal-title":"J Pediatr (Rio J)"},{"key":"R4-20260423","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"722","DOI":"10.1016\/j.procs.2022.12.189","article-title":"Literature study of stunting supplementation in Indonesian utilizing text mining approach","volume":"216","author":"Sudigyo","year":"2023","journal-title":"Proc Comput Sci"},{"key":"R5-20260423","article-title":"Buku Saku Hasil Survei Status Gizi Indonesia (SSGI) Tingkat Nasional, Provinsi, dan Kabupaten\/Kota Tahun 2021","year":"2021"},{"key":"R6-20260423","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"49","DOI":"10.1016\/j.nutos.2022.01.009","article-title":"Prevalence of child stunting in Sub-Saharan Africa and its risk factors","volume":"42","author":"Quamme","year":"2022","journal-title":"Clin Nutr Open Sci"},{"key":"R7-20260423","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e13453","DOI":"10.1016\/j.heliyon.2023.e13453","article-title":"Is stunting in children under five associated with the state of vegetation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo?
