👉 Stunting is a health condition in which a child's body does not receive enough energy from food, leading to growth retardation and low physical activity. This can lead to short stature, poor weight gain, and reduced physical abilities. It is often caused by a deficiency of essential nutrients such as iron, vitamin D, calcium, and zinc, which are crucial for proper growth and development. Stunting can be genetic or environmental, and it affects children from all socioeconomic backgrounds.
