ABSTRACT
Parents often perceive that stunting, wasting, and being underweight in their children are solely influenced by nutritional intake. In reality, various factors contribute to these outcomes. The objective of this study was to identify the factors associated with stunting, wasting, and being underweight in Indonesia. The design was a systematic literature review using the PRISMA procedure. The researchers applied a keyword search to databases collected via Science Direct, PubMed, ProQuest, SAGE and Emerald to find relevant articles published in English from 2016 to 2021. The results of the study found 17 relevant articles and revealed several factors associated with stunting, wasting and being underweight in Indonesia. All factors related to stunting, wasting, and underweight do not stand alone as the only predictors. Instead, they interact and contribute collectively to the occurrence of these conditions.
