Many things might cause stunting in kids, but it's hard to tell from this literature review.
This literature review examines the factors associated with stunting in children, including maternal knowledge and parenting style, nutritional intake, low birth weight, and family economic status. The review suggests that these factors are inter-related and contribute to the occurrence of stunting, highlighting the vulnerability of children during their golden age of development.
Possible Conflicts of Interest

Identified Weaknesses
The sample size is relatively small and may not be representative of the larger population.
The cross-sectional design limits the ability to establish causality.
The study relies on self-reported data, which can be subject to recall bias.
Lack of control for confounding variables
The study does not control for all potential confounding variables.
Rating Explanation
This literature review synthesizes findings from multiple studies on the factors associated with stunting in children. While it provides a useful overview of the existing research, the methodological limitations of the included studies and the cross-sectional nature of the review itself prevent strong conclusions about causality. Hence, a rating of 3 is appropriate.
