“…This finding is higher than a study conducted in Bangladesh that stated 60% of children consumed dietarily diversified food ( 28 ). This result was also higher than a study conducted in Ethiopia, which found 24.4% of children had minimum DD ( 40 ). A possible reason is that, during the COVID-19 pandemic, mothers and fathers stayed at home, prepared food, and fed diversified food to their children.…”

Background Dietary diversity (DD) is one of the key components of diet quality, and malnutrition due to poor diet quality led to child morbidity and mortality. However, in Bangladesh, there is a lack of information on childhood DD (aged 6–59 months) amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Objectives The purpose of this study was to assess the minimum DD and its associated factors among children aged 6–59 months during the COVID-19 pandemic in Bangladesh. Methods A cross sectional study was carried out in six districts of Bangladesh. A total of 1190 respondents were included using cluster random sampling. Individual Dietary Diversity scale (IDDS) for children was used to assess the children's dietary diversity score. Factors associated with DD of children were identified using multilevel binary logistics regression model. Results About 70% of the children aged 6–59 months had minimum DD during the COVID-19 pandemic in Bangladesh. Children who belonged to slum areas (AOR = 0.45 95% CI: 0.24–0.83), family income 12000–15000 BDT (AOR = 1.79; 95% CI: 1.06–3.05) and above 15000 BDT (AOR = 2.59; 95% CI: 1.47–4.57), mothers aged between 26 to 30 years (AOR = 0.35; 95% CI: 0.20–0.62) and more than 30 years (AOR = 0.43; 95% CI: 0.22, 0.85), respondents who had two under-five children (AOR = 0.43; 95% CI: 0.28–0.66), and children aged 12–23 months (AOR = 1.89; 95% CI: 1.14, 3.20) were significantly associated with DD among children aged 6–59 months. Conclusion The findings of this study highlight the need food and nutrition-related intervention, particularly targeting the mothers of younger age and having more than two under-five children, mothers from slum regions and, fathers who were unemployed improving dietary diversity practices of the children.

Introduction More than two-thirds of the pregnant women in Africa have at least one antenatal care contact with a health care provider. However, to achieve the full life-saving potential that antenatal care promises for women and babies, four visits providing essential evidence-based interventions – a package often called focused antenatal care are required. Hence, identifying the factors associated with dropout of maternal health care utilization would have meaningful implications. The study aimed to assess antenatal care dropout and associated factors among mothers delivering in the public health facilities of Dire Dawa town, Ethiopia. Methods Facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from January 1 to 30, 2020. Proportionate sampling and simple random sampling techniques were used to select 230 women. Data were collected using a structured and pretested interview administered questionnaire during delivery. The data were entered into Epidata version 3.1 and analyzed using SPSS version 20. A binary logistic regression model with a 95 % confidence interval was used to analyze the results. Bivariable analysis (COR [crude odds ratio]) and multivariable analysis (AOR [adjusted odds ratio]) was used to analyze the results. From the bivariable analysis, variables with a p-value < 0.25 were entered into the multivariable logistic regression analysis. From the multivariable logistic regression analysis, variables with a significance level of p-value < 0.05 were taken as factors independently associated with ANC dropout. Result The proportion of antenatal care dropouts was 86 (37.4 %) (95 % CI: 31.3–43.9). In logistic regression analyses, those who had no past antenatal care follow up were more likely to have ANC dropout (AOR = 7.89; 95 % CI: 2.109–29.498) and those who had no professional advice were more likely to have antenatal care dropout (AOR = 4.64 95 % CI: 1.246–17.254). Conclusions This study indicates that a high number of women had antenatal care dropout. Having no past ANC follow-up and professional advice were the major factors of ANC service utilization dropout. Hence, giving more information during the ANC visit is important to reduce the dropout rate from the maternity continuum of care.

“…The overall results regarding the dietary diversity score of preschool children showed that most preschool children didn't achieve a minimum dietary diversity score. However, less than a quarter of preschool children met the minimum dietary diversity score requirements in the last 24 h. The result found was lower than the study conducted in the Diredawa city, Ethiopia (24.4%) [33] and Tanzania (38%) [11]. However, the obtained result was higher when compared to the Ethiopia Demographic & Health Survey [26], in which 5% of children had minimum dietary diversity [26].…”

Background Preschool children are the most vulnerable group because of their high nutritional needs for growth and development. The study assessed dietary diversity scores and associated factors among preschool children in selected kindergarten schools of Horo Guduru Wollega Zone, Western Ethiopia. Methods The institutional-based cross-sectional study design was conducted on a total 440 of preschool children. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect information on the dietary diversity score of preschool children using a 24 h dietary recall method. Binary logistic regression was used to identify variables associated with dietary diversity scores of preschool children. Results The result showed that the majority (87.3%) of preschool children in the selected kindergarten school practiced a low dietary diversity score (less than four food groups). The result obtained from multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the age of preschool children [AOR 9.58(2.26–40.60)], sex of child [AOR 3.21(1.71–5.99)], and work of mother [AOR 7.49(2.33–24.07)] were significantly (p < 0.05 associated) with dietary diversity of children. Conclusions The findings indicated that many preschool children in the study area did not get a minimum dietary diversity score. Therefore, health extension workers must organize community-based behavior change nutritional education for mothers or caregivers to create awareness of preschool child dietary diversity practices.
