Systematic review identifies socio-ecological factors influencing anthropometric failure in children, suggesting multi-level interventions are needed.

Key Points

Core finding shows multiple socio-ecological determinants are linked to anthropometric failures in under-five children.
Evidence indicates low maternal education and household poverty are significant contributors to undernutrition risk.
The study analyzed 56 observational studies totaling over 1 million children, employing random-effects meta-analyses.
Results highlight the importance of addressing dietary diversity and access to safe water to combat childhood undernutrition.
