Maternal undernutrition increases the risk of stunting at 2 years of age. 20% of stunting is attributed to being born small-for-gestational-age (SGA). An estimated 33% of stunting at 2 years was attributed to fetal growth restriction and preterm birth in 2011 in developing countries, and 41% in South Asia. Restricted pre- and postnatal growth are in turn important determinants of short adult height, increasing the likelihood of the next generation experiencing stunted growth.
