Determinants of stunting among 0–59 months children in Lesotho: A multilevel analysis of 2023/24 Demographic and Health Survey

2026Open accessWollega University

Abstract

35.59% of children 0-59 months in Lesotho are stunted. Its determinants were male, age 12-23 and 24-59 months, poor and middle wealth, and higher birth order. Ministry of Health, Non-governmental organizations, and community health workers should therefore strengthen age-specific, equity-driven nutrition programs.
