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.
