&lt;em&gt;Nearly half the children in India are stunted&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maternal height is the strongest determinant of childhood undernutrition&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Investments should focus on improving social circumstance and dietary diversity&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BANGALORE: &lt;/em&gt;Nearly half the children in India suffer from stunting because mothers are uninformed, financially incapable or stunted and undernourished themselves, says a study conducted by the Harvard T H Chan School of Public Health, Boston and published by Social Science and Medicine last month.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The highest risk factors include maternal stature, education, wealth of the household, dietary diversity and maternal BMI. &amp;ldquo;Maternal height is the strongest determinant of childhood under nutrition,&amp;rdquo; S V Subramanian senior author of the study and professor, Population Health and Geography, Harvard University, tells SciDev.Net. The study used data of nearly 29,000 children aged six-59 months from the Third India National Family Health Survey 2005-06.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
However, Subramanian added that he wouldn&amp;rsquo;t take just one risk factor in isolation and interpret the top five risk factors collectively. Collectively they capture both &amp;lsquo;nutrition-specific&amp;rsquo; (maternal height, BMI and dietary diversity) and &amp;lsquo;nutrition-sensitive&amp;rsquo; (education and household wealth) as being important. &amp;ldquo;This underscores that the key to addressing this problem is to ensure &amp;lsquo;food security&amp;rsquo; and &amp;lsquo;livelihood security&amp;rsquo;,&amp;rdquo; Subramanian added.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
He said that the top five factors are largely true for all the regions, however this particular study is not adequately powered to link risk factors to regions. There has been a decline in stunting &amp;mdash; from 57 per cent in 1992-93 to 47 per cent in 2005-06 and further to 39 per cent in 2013-14.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The top five risk factors of stunting were selected from a list of 15 well-known risk factors for chronic undernutrition among children in India. Vitamin A supplementation, vaccination, use of iodized salt, household air quality, improved sanitary facilities, safe disposal of stools, improved drinking water, prevalence of infectious disease, initiation of breastfeeding and age at marriage were some of the other risk factors that were also considered. &lt;br /&gt;

The study used data of nearly 29,000 children aged six-59 months from the Third India National Family Health Survey 2005-06.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;However, Subramanian added that he wouldn&amp;rsquo;t take just one risk factor in isolation and interpret the top five risk factors collectively. Collectively they capture both &amp;lsquo;nutrition-specific&amp;rsquo; (maternal height, BMI and dietary diversity) and &amp;lsquo;nutrition-sensitive&amp;rsquo; (education and household wealth) as being important. &amp;ldquo;This underscores that the key to addressing this problem is to ensure &amp;lsquo;food security&amp;rsquo; and &amp;lsquo;livelihood security&amp;rsquo;,&amp;rdquo; Subramanian added.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;He said that the top five factors are largely true for all the regions, however this particular study is not adequately powered to link risk factors to regions. There has been a decline in stunting &amp;mdash; from 57 per cent in 1992-93 to 47 per cent in 2005-06 and further to 39 per cent in 2013-14.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;The top five risk factors of stunting were selected from a list of 15 well-known risk factors for chronic undernutrition among children in India. Vitamin A supplementation, vaccination, use of iodized salt, household air quality, improved sanitary facilities, safe disposal of stools, improved drinking water, prevalence of infectious disease, initiation of breastfeeding and age at marriage were some of the other risk factors that were also considered. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.scidev.net/south-asia/children/news/stunting-india.html&quot; title=&quot;http://www.scidev.net/south-asia/children/news/stunting-india.html&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

&lt;em&gt;Nearly half the children in India are stunted&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maternal height is the strongest determinant of childhood undernutrition&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Investments should focus on improving social circumstance and dietary diversity&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BANGALORE: &lt;/em&gt;Nearly half the children in India suffer from stunting because mothers are uninformed, financially incapable or stunted and undernourished themselves, says a study conducted by the Harvard T H Chan School of Public Health, Boston and published by Social Science and Medicine last month.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The highest risk factors include maternal stature, education, wealth of the household, dietary diversity and maternal BMI. &amp;ldquo;Maternal height is the strongest determinant of childhood under nutrition,&amp;rdquo; S V Subramanian senior author of the study and professor, Population Health and Geography, Harvard University, tells SciDev.Net. The study used data of nearly 29,000 children aged six-59 months from the Third India National Family Health Survey 2005-06.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
However, Subramanian added that he wouldn&amp;rsquo;t take just one risk factor in isolation and interpret the top five risk factors collectively. Collectively they capture both &amp;lsquo;nutrition-specific&amp;rsquo; (maternal height, BMI and dietary diversity) and &amp;lsquo;nutrition-sensitive&amp;rsquo; (education and household wealth) as being important. &amp;ldquo;This underscores that the key to addressing this problem is to ensure &amp;lsquo;food security&amp;rsquo; and &amp;lsquo;livelihood security&amp;rsquo;,&amp;rdquo; Subramanian added.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
He said that the top five factors are largely true for all the regions, however this particular study is not adequately powered to link risk factors to regions. There has been a decline in stunting &amp;mdash; from 57 per cent in 1992-93 to 47 per cent in 2005-06 and further to 39 per cent in 2013-14.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The top five risk factors of stunting were selected from a list of 15 well-known risk factors for chronic undernutrition among children in India. Vitamin A supplementation, vaccination, use of iodized salt, household air quality, improved sanitary facilities, safe disposal of stools, improved drinking water, prevalence of infectious disease, initiation of breastfeeding and age at marriage were some of the other risk factors that were also considered. &lt;br /&gt;

<br />
BANGALORE: </em>Nearly half the children in India suffer from stunting because mothers are uninformed, financially incapable or stunted and undernourished themselves, says a study conducted by the Harvard T H Chan School of Public Health, Boston and published by Social Science and Medicine last month.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
The highest risk factors include maternal stature, education, wealth of the household, dietary diversity and maternal BMI. &ldquo;Maternal height is the strongest determinant of childhood under nutrition,&rdquo; S V Subramanian senior author of the study and professor, Population Health and Geography, Harvard University, tells SciDev.Net. The study used data of nearly 29,000 children aged six-59 months from the Third India National Family Health Survey 2005-06.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
However, Subramanian added that he wouldn&rsquo;t take just one risk factor in isolation and interpret the top five risk factors collectively. Collectively they capture both &lsquo;nutrition-specific&rsquo; (maternal height, BMI and dietary diversity) and &lsquo;nutrition-sensitive&rsquo; (education and household wealth) as being important. &ldquo;This underscores that the key to addressing this problem is to ensure &lsquo;food security&rsquo; and &lsquo;livelihood security&rsquo;,&rdquo; Subramanian added.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
He said that the top five factors are largely true for all the regions, however this particular study is not adequately powered to link risk factors to regions. There has been a decline in stunting &mdash; from 57 per cent in 1992-93 to 47 per cent in 2005-06 and further to 39 per cent in 2013-14.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
The top five risk factors of stunting were selected from a list of 15 well-known risk factors for chronic undernutrition among children in India. Vitamin A supplementation, vaccination, use of iodized salt, household air quality, improved sanitary facilities, safe disposal of stools, improved drinking water, prevalence of infectious disease, initiation of breastfeeding and age at marriage were some of the other risk factors that were also considered. <br />

BANGALORE: </em>Nearly half the children in India suffer from stunting because mothers are uninformed, financially incapable or stunted and undernourished themselves, says a study conducted by the Harvard T H Chan School of Public Health, Boston and published by Social Science and Medicine last month.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
The highest risk factors include maternal stature, education, wealth of the household, dietary diversity and maternal BMI. &ldquo;Maternal height is the strongest determinant of childhood under nutrition,&rdquo; S V Subramanian senior author of the study and professor, Population Health and Geography, Harvard University, tells SciDev.Net. The study used data of nearly 29,000 children aged six-59 months from the Third India National Family Health Survey 2005-06.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
However, Subramanian added that he wouldn&rsquo;t take just one risk factor in isolation and interpret the top five risk factors collectively. Collectively they capture both &lsquo;nutrition-specific&rsquo; (maternal height, BMI and dietary diversity) and &lsquo;nutrition-sensitive&rsquo; (education and household wealth) as being important. &ldquo;This underscores that the key to addressing this problem is to ensure &lsquo;food security&rsquo; and &lsquo;livelihood security&rsquo;,&rdquo; Subramanian added.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
He said that the top five factors are largely true for all the regions, however this particular study is not adequately powered to link risk factors to regions. There has been a decline in stunting &mdash; from 57 per cent in 1992-93 to 47 per cent in 2005-06 and further to 39 per cent in 2013-14.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
The top five risk factors of stunting were selected from a list of 15 well-known risk factors for chronic undernutrition among children in India. Vitamin A supplementation, vaccination, use of iodized salt, household air quality, improved sanitary facilities, safe disposal of stools, improved drinking water, prevalence of infectious disease, initiation of breastfeeding and age at marriage were some of the other risk factors that were also considered. <br />

Fighting stunting in India -M Sreelata

-SciDev.net Nearly half the children in India are stunted Maternal height is the strongest determinant of childhood undernutrition Investments should focus on improving social circumstance and dietary diversity BANGALORE: Nearly half the children in India suffer from stunting because mothers are uninformed, financially incapable or stunted and undernourished themselves, says a study conducted by the Harvard T H Chan School of Public Health, Boston and published by Social Science and Medicine last month.   The highest risk factors include maternal stature, education, wealth of the household, dietary diversity and maternal BMI. “Maternal height is the strongest determinant of childhood under nutrition,” S V Subramanian senior author of the study and professor, Population Health and Geography, Harvard University, tells SciDev.Net. The study used data of nearly 29,000 children aged six-59 months from the Third India National Family Health Survey 2005-06.   However, Subramanian added that he wouldn’t take just one risk factor in isolation and interpret the top five risk factors collectively. Collectively they capture both ‘nutrition-specific’ (maternal height, BMI and dietary diversity) and ‘nutrition-sensitive’ (education and household wealth) as being important. “This underscores that the key to addressing this problem is to ensure ‘food security’ and ‘livelihood security’,” Subramanian added.   He said that the top five factors are largely true for all the regions, however this particular study is not adequately powered to link risk factors to regions. There has been a decline in stunting — from 57 per cent in 1992-93 to 47 per cent in 2005-06 and further to 39 per cent in 2013-14.   The top five risk factors of stunting were selected from a list of 15 well-known risk factors for chronic undernutrition among children in India. Vitamin A supplementation, vaccination, use of iodized salt, household air quality, improved sanitary facilities, safe disposal of stools, improved drinking water, prevalence of infectious disease, initiation of breastfeeding and age at marriage were some of the other risk factors that were also considered.
