Determinants of Stunting and Severe Stunting Among Under-Fives in Tanzania: Evidence from the 2010 Cross-Sectional Household Survey.

Stunting is one of the main public health problems in Tanzania. It is caused mainly by malnutrition among children aged less than 5 years. Identifying the determinants of stunting and severe stunting among such children would help public health planners to reshape and redesign new interventions to reduce this health hazard. This study aimed to identify factors associated with stunting and severe stunting among children aged less than five years in Tanzania.
