If a kid is stunted at the age of two, he or she is more likely to have poor cognitive and educational outcomes later in life, with socioeconomic and intergenerational effects.

Explanation:

  • In human development, stunted growth refers to a slower rate of growth.
  • Apart from the obvious impact of the person affected shorter stature, stunted growth in children has the following public health implications: increased risk of illness and premature death, delayed mental development and thus poorer school performance and later reduced productivity in the workforce, reduced cognitive capacity.
  • Because of their narrower pelvises, women of shorter stature have a higher risk of problems during childbirth and are more likely to have a baby with low birth weight, growth retardation can even be handed on to future generations.
