Objectives: A limitation in the design and monitoring of public health policies is the lack of conceptual models to explain their results. The objective of this study was to develop a predictive model of stunting in children under 5 years of age in the central Andean region of Peru, using socioeconomic and agro-productive predictors. Study design: Cross-sectional data of 380 families in 15 districts of the central region of Peru. WHO criteria were used to define stunting prediction model. Methods: An explanatory and predictive study of stunting in children was carried out considering causality criteria through Chi-square tests and bivariate logistic regression. Family food production, maternal education, breastfeeding practices and others determinant related to rural zone conditions were considered as explanatory variables in stunting of children under 5 years old. Three exhaustive models for predicted the presence of stunting was developed. Results: Stunting percentage was 40.3. To Hosmer and Lemeshow test, the best fit was the model that considered the level of maternal education, timely consumption of colostrum, birth weight and guinea pig rearing, having high reliability (P |
