Abstract:
The current study aimed to find the risk factors of wasting in flood-affected areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Sociodemographic and anthropometric data was collected. Children living in large family are 2.59 times more likely to be wasted (AOR = 2.59, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.10, 6.10; p value = .029) and children living in medium size family are 2.23 times more likely to be wasted (AOR = 2.23, 95% CI: 1.03, 4.80; p value = .04) as compared to children in small family size. The study underscores the need for targeted interventions to address the identified risk factors and mitigate the impact of flooding on child nutrition.
摘要:
目前的研究旨在发现开伯尔-普赫图赫瓦省受洪水影响地区浪费的危险因素,巴基斯坦。收集社会人口统计学和人体测量数据。生活在大家庭中的儿童被浪费的可能性是2.59倍(AOR=2.59,95%置信区间(CI):1.10,6.10;p值=.029),生活在中等规模家庭中的儿童被浪费的可能性是2.23倍(AOR=2.23,95%CI:1.03,4.80;p值=.04)。该研究强调需要有针对性的干预措施,以解决已确定的风险因素,并减轻洪水对儿童营养的影响。
