■目前,在发展中国家,高危生育行为与5岁以下儿童发育迟缓之间的联系仍然是一个重大的公共卫生问题,包括埃塞俄比亚。这个问题对五岁以下儿童的健康和整体福祉构成威胁。因此,这项研究的主要目的是研究出生时高危生育行为与儿童发育迟缓状况及相关因素之间的关系.
■用于这项研究的数据是从2019年最近的埃塞俄比亚迷你人口与健康调查数据中提取的。这项研究共纳入了4969名五岁以下儿童的加权样本,并从这些样本中提取相关数据。多水平双变量分析用于评估埃塞俄比亚五岁以下儿童的出生高危生育行为与发育迟缓状况之间的关系。
■发现,在4,997名五岁以下儿童中,24%的五岁以下儿童因出生时的高危生育行为而发育迟缓。我们的研究还显示了0.2的类内相关性,表明出生和发育迟缓的高风险生育行为的20%的变异性可归因于社区之间的差异。此外,出生时的高危生育行为与5岁以下儿童的发育迟缓状态之间存在统计学上的显著关联[AOR=8.5,95%CI:(5.58,18.70)].同样,男孩出生发育迟缓的几率是女孩出生发育迟缓的估计几率的1.36倍[AOR=1.36,95%CI:(1.19,1.55)].
■这项研究发现,出生的高危生育行为与五岁以下儿童的发育迟缓状态之间存在显着统计学关联。具体来说,18岁以下母亲所生的孩子和在高均等家庭中的孩子被确定为儿童发育迟缓的主要危险因素.此外,健康相关教育,改善获得孕产妇保健的机会,和训练干预措施与出生和儿童发育迟缓期间的高危生育行为相关。该研究表明,对具有高危生殖特征的母亲所生的婴儿进行定期健康评估和早期干预对于减少5岁以下儿童发育迟缓的影响至关重要。
UNASSIGNED: Currently, the linkage between high-risk fertility behavior of birth and the occurrence of stunting among children under the age of 5 continues to be a significant public health problem in developing countries, including Ethiopia. This issue poses a threat to the health and overall wellbeing of under-five children. Thus, the main objective of this study was to examine the association between high-risk fertility behavior of birth and the stunting status of children and associated factors.
UNASSIGNED: The data used for this study were extracted from the recent Ethiopian Mini Demographic and Health Survey data in 2019. A total weighted sample of 4,969 under-five children was included in this study, and the relevant data were extracted from those samples. The multilevel
bivariate analysis was used to assess the association between high-risk fertility behavior of birth and the stunting status of under-five children in Ethiopia.
UNASSIGNED: It was found that, out of 4,997 under-five children, 24% of under-five children experienced stunting as a result of high-risk fertility behavior of birth. Our study also revealed an intra-class correlation of 0.2, indicating that 20% of the variability in both high-risk fertility behaviors of birth and stunting can be attributed to differences between communities. Furthermore, there was a statistically significant association between high-risk fertility behavior of birth and the stunting status of children under the age of 5 years [AOR = 8.5, 95% CI: (5.58, 18.70)]. Similarly, the stunting status of birth among boys was 1.36 times greater than the estimated odds of the stunting status of birth among girls [AOR = 1.36, 95% CI: (1.19, 1.55)].
UNASSIGNED: This study found that there was a significant statistical association between high-risk fertility behavior of birth and stunting status of under-five children. Specifically, children born to mothers under 18 years and in households with high parity were identified as the main risk factors for child stunting. Furthermore, health-related education, improved access to maternal healthcare, and training interventions were associated with high-risk fertility behavior during birth and child stunting. The study suggests that regular health assessments and early interventions for infants born to mothers with high-risk reproductive characteristics are crucial to reducing the impact of child stunting under 5 years of age.
