“…The findings were consistent with a study in Nepal that suggested that parent's educational status and socio-economic status were significantly associated with HHFI. 18 Similar results have been observed in Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, such as, The Unites States of America; households with illiterate mothers are vulnerable to food insecurity 29 . Illiterate mothers with poor socioeconomic status reflect inadequate CFP.…”

“…The prevalence of under-five year old children HHFI was also significantly higher in some developing countries, such as, Brazil (51.7%), Ghana (69.9%), Ethiopia (66.4%), Vietnam (40.3%) and Nepal (69.0%). 6,16,18,28 Our study showed that food insecurity was more prevalent among the children of illiterate parents, socio-economically poor families and rural dwelling.

“…Lindsay et al 17 identified the association between HHFS and a mothers' child feeding behavior in a qualitative study. In Argentina, Osei et al 18 examined the relationship between HHFS and dietary diversity of children and Saha et al 19 showed the association between HHFS and change in CFP in different age groups in Bangladesh. To our knowledge, no previous studies in Bangladesh have focused substantially on the relationship between the nutritional behavior of children and HHFI using a nationally representative sample.…”

To examine the prevalence of household food insecurity (HHFI) among children aged between 6-23 months in Bangladesh. This paper also aims to identify the individual, household and community levels determinants of HHFI and the association between nutritional behavior and HHFI. Bangladesh Demographic Health Survey (BDHS), 2011 was used for this research. A total of 2,344 children were selected for analysis. Statistical analysis and tests were guided by the nature of the variables. Finally, logistic regression analysis was used to find out the association between independent variables and outcome. The overall prevalence of HHFI was 36.3% (95% CI: 33.6-39.0) among the participants (children). The prevalence of HHFI was significantly higher among children who did not receive nutritional items. In contrast, HHFI was more prevalent among children who were breastfed (37.0%) as compared to non-breastfed. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that children of illiterate mothers (adjusted OR: 2.20, 95% CI: 1.17-4.10), illiterate fathers (adjusted OR: 2.27, 95% CI: 1.41-3.66) and socio-economically poor families (adjusted OR: 11.35, 95% CI: 7.20-17.91) were more at risk of experiencing HHFI, whereas, rural children (adjusted OR: 0.72, 95% CI: 0.57-0.93) were more protective. In the adjusted logistic regression model, children who did not receive juice (adjusted OR: 1.54, 95% CI: 1.09-2.16) had experienced HHFI. The prevalence of HHFI among children is still high in Bangladesh. Therefore, to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, the Government of Bangladesh should priorities HHFI as a major public health issue. Strong collaborations among various stakeholders are also crucial to improve the situation.South East Asia Journal of Public Health Vol.6(2) 2016: 53-60

“…HFI prevalence in NDHS 2011 was less than in the study (69 %) from Kailali District, far-western Nepal, which used a five-item scale similar to HFIAS (22) . When comparing the studies that used the HFIAS, prevalence in Nepal was higher than in Bangladesh and Vietnam but lower than in Ethiopia (9) .…”

Objective: To examine the association between household food insecurity score and Z-scores of childhood nutritional status indicators. Design: Population-based, cross-sectional survey, Nepal Demographic and Health Survey 2011. Setting: A nationally representative sample of 11 085 households selected by a two-stage, stratified cluster sampling design to interview eligible men and women. Subjects: Children (n 2591) aged 0-60 months in a sub-sample of households selected for men's interview. Results: Prevalence of moderate and severe household food insecurity was 23·2 % and 19·0 %, respectively, for children aged 0-60 months. Weighted prevalence rates for stunting (height-for-age Z-score (HAZ) <−2), wasting (weight-for-height Z-score (WHZ) <−2) and underweight (weight-for-age Z-score (WAZ) <−2) were 41·6 % (95 % CI 38·9, 44·3 %), 11·5 % (95 % CI 9·8, 13·2 %) and 30·1 % (95 % CI 27·5, 32·8 %), respectively. Prevalences of stunting, severe stunting (HAZ <−3) and underweight by level of household food insecurity were statistically significant (P < 0·001). By multiple linear regression analyses and after adjustment for sociodemographic, child and environmental factors, household food access insecurity score was associated with HAZ (β = − 0·02, P = 0·01) and WAZ (β = − 0·01, P = 0·01) but was not associated with WHZ and BMI-for-age Z-score. A 10-point increase in household food access insecurity score was associated with a decrease in HAZ of 0·2 (95 % CI 0·05, 0·39) and decrease in WAZ of 0·1 (95 % CI 0·03, 0·27). Conclusions: Our results from a nationally representative sample confirm the previously reported association of household food insecurity with stunting and underweight. Community nutrition interventions may use household food insecurity scales for identifying those households where children may be at risk of growth faltering.

“…Kejadian stunting sendiri lebih dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain yaitu pengetahuan ibu, pola asuh, status gizi ibu, akses ke tempat pelayanan kesehatan, kesehatan lingkungan serta pembagian dan pemanfaatan makanan bagi anggota keluarga. Hasil penelitian lain yang berbeda menyebutkan bahwa ketahanan pangan berhubungan dengan status gizi balita (26)(27)(28).…”

cant (p=0.13, OR:1.5,. The CED history during pregnancy was not the risk factor of the stunting incident (p=0.23, OR:0.7,. Other factors related to the stunting incidence were mother 's height (p=0.01, OR:2.04,, the history of low birth weight (p=0.03, OR:3.03, and food insecurity (p=0.04, OR:2.7,. The multivariate analysis showed that mother's height was correlated with the stunting incidence in Sedayu subdistrict. Conclusion: Factors that infl uence the incidence of stunting in children aged 6-23 month were pregnant mother with anemia, history of low birth weight, food insecurity, and stunted mother. Stunted mother was associated with the incidence of stunting.
