为了实现2030年消除所有类型营养不良的目标,彻底调查和解决营养不足的特定环境因素至关重要。因此,这项研究评估了埃塞俄比亚东南部6~23个月儿童的营养不良患病率和相关因素.2022年2月,对580对随机抽样的母子对进行了基于社区的横断面研究。社会人口学,饮食摄入量,家庭食品安全(HFS),母亲对儿童喂养的知识和做法,收集孩子的体重和身高数据。进行多变量logistic回归分析。发育迟缓的患病率,浪费,体重不足的儿童分别为32·1、7和9%,分别。男性(AOR=1·75),不使用生长监测和促进(GMP)服务(AOR=1·50),家庭粮食不安全(HFI)(AOR=1·67),缺乏改善的水(AOR=2·26),奶瓶喂养(AOR=1·54)与发育迟缓显著相关。男性(AOR=3·02),母亲对儿童喂养行为的知识较低(AOR=3·89),不收听广播/电视(AOR=3·69),有发热史(AOR=3·39),奶瓶喂养(AOR=3·58),和HFI(AOR=3·77)显著预测消瘦。男性(AOR=3·44),不使用GMP服务(AOR=2·00),有发热史(AOR=4·24),缺乏关于最佳母乳喂养持续时间的知识(AOR=3·58),母亲对儿童喂养的知识较低(AOR=2·21),HFI(AOR=2·04),缺乏改善的水分(AOR=3·00)与体重过轻显著相关。总之,发育迟缓令人震惊,而消瘦和体重不足则次优。预防传染病,为父亲提供基础教育,确保HFS;增强媒体访问,产妇对IYCFP和改善水的了解;GMP服务的利用对于改善儿童营养至关重要。
To meet the 2030 goal to end all types of malnutrition, thoroughly investigating and addressing context-specific factors of undernutrition is crucial. Therefore, this study assessed the prevalence of undernutrition and associated factors among children aged 6-23 months in South-East Ethiopia. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 580 randomly sampled mother-child pairs in February 2022. Socio-demographic, dietary intake, household food security (HFS), maternal knowledge and practices of child feeding, and the child\'s weight and height data were collected. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was done. The prevalence of stunted, wasted, and underweight children was 32⋅1, 7, and 9 %, respectively. Being male (AOR = 1⋅75), not using the growth monitoring and promotion (GMP) service (AOR = 1⋅50), household food insecurity (HFI) (AOR = 1⋅67), lack of improved water (AOR = 2⋅26), and bottle-feeding (AOR = 1⋅54) were significantly associated with stunting. Being male (AOR = 3⋅02), having low maternal knowledge on child-feeding practices (AOR = 3⋅89), not listening to the radio/television (AOR = 3⋅69), having a history of fever (AOR = 3⋅39), bottle-feeding (AOR = 3⋅58), and HFI (AOR = 3⋅77) were significantly predicted wasting. Being male (AOR = 3⋅44), not using GMP service (AOR = 2⋅00), having a history of fever (AOR = 4⋅24), lack of knowledge on optimal breastfeeding duration (AOR = 3⋅58), low maternal knowledge on child feeding (AOR = 2⋅21), HFI (AOR = 2⋅04), and lack of improved water (AOR = 3⋅00) showed significant association with underweight. In conclusion, stunting is alarmingly common while wasting and underweight are sub-optimal. Prevention of infectious disease, providing basic education for fathers, ensuring HFS; enhancing media access, maternal knowledge about IYCFP and improving water access; and GMP service utilisation are crucial to improve child nutrition.
