In the majority of low- and middle-income counties, child health-care dissimilarities are further aggravated by nutritional status (i.e., stunting, underweight, and wasting). In India, child malnutrition is the most important contributor to disease burden. The present study uses data from the 4th round of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-4), conducted in 2015-2016. We considered anthropometric indicators of unit-level data of 2, 48, and 174 children aged 0-59 months. This study examines the socio-economic inequality in nutritional status and their determinants among under-5 year children. The factors considered in the analysis were categorized as child age in months, mother’s educational status, mother’s nutritional-status, type of caste, wealth index, birth order, and size of a child at birth. In this study, multivariate logistic regression and concentration index (CI) have been employed to explore the effect of various factors on the child’s nutritional status. The binary logistic analysis has demonstrated a significant association between child nutritional status and mother’s education, mother’s nutritional status, type of caste, wealth index, birth order, and size of a child at birth. The results show that the CI for stunting, underweight, and wasting were −0.14, −0.16, and −0.08. Therefore, these factors were significantly high in poorer households. Our study suggests that the nutrition-specific programs to encourage nutritional adequacy, diversity, reduces the nutritional burden, and growth of child’s in India.

“…Similar to earlier analyses, mortality was higher in all stages of stunting and underweight, and the risk rose as Z scores dropped. In a synergistic relationship with infectious diseases, undernutrition can be considered the cause of death; if the undernutrition hadn't existed, the deaths wouldn't have happened [29]. Increased risks of death from diarrhea, pneumonia, and the measles were noted for all anthropometric measures of undernutrition; the association was also noted for other infectious diseases [30].…”

Background This study was conducted to examine the prevalence of malnutrition in Syrian immigrant children living in Turkey. Methods The study was carried out in the city of Mardin, which is one of the cities with a high Syrian immigrant population in Turkey. Height, body weight and BMI values were recorded to determine the malnutrition status of the children. Z-scores of children were calculated using the malnutrition assessment WHOAntro program. Results The data show that 30.5% of Syrian children between the ages of 0 and 6 months are male, making up 55.8% of the total, and that 55.3% do not follow a regular breakfast schedule. The percentages of body weight for height, height for age, and BMI for age of Syrian children with a score between − 2 and + 2 SD Number were (89.3%), (74.3%), and (79.3%), respectively. Girls are more likely than boys to experience stunting and low body weight in the context of Syrian children (Stunting OR: 0.855(0.761–1.403), Underweight OR: 0.705(0.609-1,208)). Additionally, there is a link between levels of stunting and underweight and elements like the mother's educational level and the family's income. Contrary to the situation of adequate nutrition, it was discovered that the likelihood of stunting and low body weight in children increased by 0.809 and 1.039 times, respectively, when access to an adequate food supply was not available within the family (p < 0.05). Conclusion s According to the results of the study, gender, family income, mother's education level and access to food affected the severity of malnutrition in children.

In contrast to, Under-5 mortality rates, were 133deaths per 1000 live births in 1993-94 and reached at 94 in 1999-2000, 65 in 2007, 53 in 2011 and even 46 in 2014 (6) .…”

Under five child mortality is one of the serious public health issues in all over the world especially in South Asian region. Significant achievements have been made in last ten decades to reduce child mortality globally, but South Asian region still has one of the highest child mortalities in the world (51 deaths per 1000 live births). Out of ten child deaths, three occur in South Asian region. Various risk factors influence this high mortality rate, however, some of the risk factors show similarities and other varies time to time across countries in the South Asian region. Parents literacy, occupation, household wealth, health care accessibility and utilization, poverty and inadequate food intake, poor access to information, mother's age and several socio-cultural factors contributes mostly to the high number of mortalities in young children. However, it is imperative to study the country specific reasons and useful comparison of contexts might be useful to address the immediate, underlying and basic causes of child malnutrition. There, this paper aimed to study the difference in under five child mortality in different South Asian countries and determine whether the associated risk factors are similar or different across those eight countries. For increasing the under-five child survival and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, South Asian regional countries needs to give serious efforts on maternal and child health sector as it affects national development. Country specific strategies and interventions should be based on most prevalent risk factors.
