Abstract

Abstract: Stunting is a pathological condition characterized by impaired growth and development, which may manifest in children. This disorder results in a reduction in leg length among youngsters. It is noteworthy that the occurrence of stunting can be mitigated starting from an early stage, including the prenatal period. The objective of this socialization initiative is to impart knowledge and foster understanding regarding the prevention of stunting. The objective is to enhance public consciousness and modify individuals' conduct in order to adopt a lifestyle that promotes good health. Strategies for mitigating stunting: The prevention of stunting in children can be achieved by implementing interventions during the period from conception until the child reaches two years of age, sometimes referred to as the first 1000 days of life.
