Prevalence and associated risk factors of stunting too early: analysis of the 2020 Rwanda demographic and health survey
The prevalence of stunting too early was high, and the factors significantly associated with it were the sex and age of the child, the mother's age, low socio-economic status and small child size at birth. There is a need to address those factors through campaigns of health education, emphasis on girls' education for their empowerment and strengthening of nutritional programme implementation.
