Determinants of stunting among children aged 0-59 months in Nepal: findings from Nepal Demographic and health Survey, 2006, 2011, and 2016.

This study found that household wealth status, age of child, size of child at time of birth, and child anemia comprised the common determinants of stunting in all three surveys in Nepal. Study findings underscore the need for effective implementation of evidence-based nutrition interventions in health and non-health sectors to reduce the high rates of child stunting in Nepal.
