Title

“AN ASSOCIATIONAL STUDY OF ACUTE MALNUTRITION OF UNDERWEIGHT CHILDREN’S SUFFERING FROM STUNTING , WASTING AND LOW NUTRITIONAL DIET”

Abstract

Child malnutrition constitutes a serious threat to child survival and development in the DRC. The Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) from 2013/14 provides data on the prevalence of malnutrition in children below five years in 2013 in the DRC. According to the survey, 43% of the children suffered from stunting, 8% from wasting and 23% from underweight. Under five years children of the households with family size of greater than 5 were seen associated with severe acute malnutrition of the children ( OR = 2.267, 95% CI 1.235 – 4.161). The illiteracy rate was 98 (90.7%) among mothers of the cases and 71 (65.7%) among the mothers of controls similarly, 93 (86.1%) among the fathers of the cases and 76 (70.4%) among the controls. Under five years children whose mother is illiterate were significantly associated with severe acute malnutrition of the children (OR = 8.25, 95% CI 2.923 – 23.287); similarly under five years children whose father is illiterate were also seen associated with severe acute malnutrition of the children (OR = 2.7, 95% CI 1.307 – 5.578). Majority of the mothers, 102 (94.4%) of the cases and 105 (97.4%) of the controls, were housewives with no occupation. Anthropometric measurement of the children was measured based on the WHO standardized procedures. Weight and recumbent length/ height was taken according to WHO standardized techniques.
