The Role of Nutrition and Health Promotion in Stunting Children: Literature Review

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of nutritional factors, environmental factors, and health promotion in the incidence of stunting in children. The method used was a literature review by examining nine international scientific articles published between 2023 and 2025 through the SAGE Journals, PubMed, and Springer Nature databases. The results of the study indicate that stunting is influenced by various factors, including the quality of children's diets, socioeconomic status, maternal health, maternal mental health, and environmental conditions such as sanitation. Furthermore, health promotion through nutrition education, social support, and technology-based interventions has been shown to play a role in improving maternal and child health. The conclusion of this study indicates that stunting is a multifactorial problem that requires a comprehensive approach through nutritional interventions, health promotion, and community empowerment.
