Spatial distribution of stunting among breast feeding children in Sub-Sahara Africa
The significant regional variability in the prevalence of stunting among nursing children in SSA was highlighted by this study. In order to address underlying variables including poverty, food insecurity, and limited access to healthcare, the findings highlighted the necessity of region-specific public health initiatives. To lessen the burden of stunting and its long-term effects, improved geospatial surveillance systems are crucial for locating high-risk locations and directing the distribution of resources.
