摘要

ABSTRACT Background : Child undernutrition is a prevalent health problem and poses various short and long-term consequences. Objective : This study seeks to investigate the burden of child undernutrition and its drivers in Kilte Awlaelo-Health and Demographic Surveillance Site, Tigray, northern Ethiopia. Methods : In 2015, cross-sectional data were collected from 1,525 children aged 6–23?months. Maternal and child nutritional status was assessed using the mid upper arm circumference. Child’s dietary diversity score was calculated using 24-hours dietary recall method. Log-binomial regression and partial proportional odds model were fitted to examine the drivers of poor child nutrition and child dietary diversity (CDD), respectively. Results : The burden of undernutrition and inadequate CDD was 13.7% (95% CI: 12.1–15.5%) and 81.3% (95%CI: 79.2–83.1%), respectively. Maternal undernutrition (adjusted prevalence ratio, adjPR?=?1.47; 95%CI: 1.14–1.89), low CDD (adjPR?=?1.90; 95%CI: 1.22–2.97), and morbidity (adjPR?=?1.83; 95%CI: 1.15–2.92) were the nutrition-specific drivers of child undernutrition. The nutrition-sensitive drivers were poverty (compared to the poorest, adjPR poor?=?0.65 [95%CI:0.45–0.93], adjPR medium?=?0.64 [95%CI: 0.44–0.93], adjPR wealthy?=?0.46 [95%CI: 0.30–0.70], and adjPR wealthiest?=?0.53 [95%CI: 0.34–0.82]), larger family size (adjPR?=?1.10; 95%CI: 1.02–1.18), household head’s employment insecurity (adjPR?=?2.10; 95%CI: 1.43–3.09), and residing in highlands (adjPR?=?1.93; 95%CI: 1.36–2.75). The data show that higher CDD was positively associated with wealth (OR wealthy?=?3.06 [95%CI: 1.88–4.99], OR wealthiest?=?2.57 [95%CI: 1.53–4.31]), but it was inversely associated with lack of diverse food crops production in highlands (OR?=?0.23; 95%CI: 0.10–0.57]). Conclusions : Our findings suggest that the burden of poor child nutrition is very high in the study area. Multi-sectoral collaboration and cross-disciplinary interventions between agriculture, nutrition and health sectors are recommended to address child undernutrition in resource poor and food insecure rural communities of similar settings.
