“…Children whose mothers are illiterate were 4 fold at risk to have severe acute malnutrition as compared to those children have literate mothers. Similar findings were revealed at studies done in Shashogo Woreda, Southern Ethiopia [22], Gonder, Ethiopia [17], Oromia region, West Ethiopia [14], Somali Region, Ethiopia [12], in Ghana [24], Gambia and Nigeria [18], Bangladesh [25] and Granada, Nicaragua [26]. This could be due to illiterate mothers have less perception about the nutritional need of their children and most of them have poor socio-economic status.…”

Introduction: Childhood poor nutritional status continues to be a serious public health problem in Ethiopia. Despite the high magnitude of childhood acute malnutrition, previously there is no study conducted to determine risk factors for acute malnutrition in Gedeo Zone. Thus, the main aim of this study was to identify risk factors for acute malnutrition among under-five children in Gedeo Zone, Ethiopia.

“…4 In contrast to some other studies, 4,8,19,22 the present investigation did not identify any statistically significant association between malnutrition or overnutrition (or a combination of them) and maternal employment, age or education. This may have resulted from the lack of diversity of these variables in the study population.…”

DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study in nurseries at 13 day-care centers in São Paulo, Brazil. METHODS:The mothers of 482 children were interviewed, with anthropometry on these children. Children whose anthropometric indices for weight and height were greater than two standard deviations were considered to have nutritional disorders.

A randomized cross-sectional nutritional assessment was completed in collaboration with the Ministry of Health (MOH) in children ages 6 to 60 months in a rural Honduran community. The prevalence of stunting, underweight, and wasting and risk factors associated with malnutrition were determined. Data were obtained from 290 children at the household level. Results of the study identified economic and household characteristics that can serve as indicators for risk of malnutrition in this region to help the MOH target poor communities for direct interventions and prioritize resources to households that may receive the most benefit.Views expressed in this article are those of the authors and may not be attributed to their institutions or organizations.We are grateful for the support
