Modelling and Forecasting Spatio-temporal Variation in the Risk of Chronic Malnutrition Among Under-Five Children in Ghana

Conclusion: Our spatio-temporal model captured variations in childhood stunting over place and time. Our method facilitates and enriches modelling and forecasting of future stunting prevalence to identify areas at high risk. Improving maternal education could be given greater consideration within an overall strategy for addressing childhood malnutrition.
