Population‐Level Impact of Risk Factors on Stunting Among Children Under Five in Sub‐Saharan Africa (2015–2022)

Socio-economic disparities are key risk factors for stunting in sub-Saharan Africa. These factors were statistically associated with a substantial proportion of stunting cases in high-prevalence regions. Targeted interventions to reduce inequalities, improve maternal education and expand essential services access are vital to achieving global nutrition targets, including the Sustainable Development Goal of reducing child stunting by 40% by 2025.
