          Abstract

          RESUMEN Introducción La prevalencia de desnutrición en México se ha mantenido superior en la población rural nacional con respecto a las zonas urbanas. El patrón de crecimiento publicado por la OMS en 2006 confirma que los niños ≤5 años tienen el mismo potencial de crecimiento si las condiciones de vida son óptimas, existiendo diversos factores que pueden afectar el estado nutricional. El objetivo del estudio fue determinar si existe asociación entre los factores demográficos-socioeconómicos con el estado nutricional en poblaciones rurales de Colima. Material y Métodos Diseño: transversal analítico. Se incluyeron 72 niños ≤5 años (34 género masculino; 38 femenino) de las poblaciones de Suchitlán, Cofradía de Suchitlán y Zacualpan, (2015 abril-junio). Se realizaron mediciones de peso y talla y se calcularon los indicadores de peso/edad, talla/edad, peso/talla e índice de masa corporal/edad. Se aplicó un cuestionario de factores demográficos y socioeconómicos y se realizó el análisis estadístico usando χ2 o exacta de Fisher para buscar asociaciones entre el estado nutricional y los factores socioeconómicos o demográficos. Resultados La prevalencia de desnutrición crónica fue 25%, desnutrición aguda 2,8% y sobrepeso/obesidad 11,2%. Se asoció el ser hijo único con el sobrepeso/obesidad (p=0,016) y el recibir lactancia materna con la desnutrición crónica (p=0,014). Conclusiones Se identificó el ser hijo único como factor de riesgo para el desarrollo de sobrepeso/obesidad y la lactancia materna con la presencia de desnutrición crónica.

          ABSTRACT Introduction The prevalence of malnutrition in Mexico has remained higher in the national rural population than in urban areas. The growth pattern published by the WHO in 2006 confirms that children ≤5 years have the same growth potential if living conditions are optimal, being some factors associated to malnutrition, so the objective of the study was to determine if there is an association between the demographic-socioeconomic factors with nutritional status in rural populations of Colima. Material and Methods Design: cross sectional. We included 72 children ≤5 years (34 male gender; 38 female) from the villages of Suchitlán, Cofradía de Suchitlán and Zacualpan (2015, AprilJune). Measurements of weight and height were taken and a questionnaire of demographicsocioeconomic factors was applied to the parents. The indicators weight-for-age, height-forage, weight-for-height and BMI-for-age were calculated. A questionnaire of demographic and socioeconomic factors was applied and the statistical analysis was carried out using χ2 or Fisher’s exact to find associations between nutritional status and socioeconomic or demographic factors. Results The prevalence of chronic malnutrition was 25%, acute malnutrition 2.8% and overweight or obesity 11.2%. It was associated being an only child with overweight/obesity (p=0.016) and breastfeeding with chronic malnutrition (p=0.014). Conclusions Being an only child was identified as a risk factor for the development of overweight/ obesity and breastfeeding with the presence of chronic malnutrition.

          Determinants of stunting and severe stunting among under-fives: evidence from the 2011 Nepal Demographic and Health Survey

          Background Stunting remains a major public health concern in Nepal as it increases the risk of illness, irreversible body damage and mortality in children. Public health planners can reshape and redesign new interventions to reduce stunting and severe stunting among children aged less than 5 years in this country by examining their determinants. Hence, this study identifies factors associated with stunting and severe stunting among children aged less than five years in Nepal. Methods The sample is made up of 2380 children aged 0 to 59 months with complete anthropometric measurements from the 2011 Nepal Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS). Simple and multiple logistic regression analyses were used to examine stunting and severe stunting against a set of variables. Results The prevalences of stunting and severe stunting were 26.3% [95% confidence Interval (CI): 22.8, 30.1] and 10.2% (95%CI: 7.9, 13.1) for children aged 0–23 months, respectively, and 40.6 (95%CI: 37.3, 43.2) and 15.9% (95%CI: 13.9, 18.3) for those aged 0–59 months, respectively. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, multivariable analyses showed that the most consistent significant risk factors for stunted and severely stunted children aged 0–23 and 0–59 months were household wealth index (poorest household), perceived size of baby (small babies) and breastfeeding for more than 12 months (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) for stunted children aged 0–23 months = 2.60 [95% CI: (1.87, 4.02)]; AOR for severely stunted children aged 0–23 months = 2.87 [95% CI: (1.54, 5.34)]; AOR for stunted children aged 0–59 months = 3.54 [95% CI: (2.41, 5.19)] and AOR for severely stunted children aged 0–59 months = 4.15 [95% CI: (2.45, 6.93)]. Conclusions This study suggests that poorest households and prolonged breastfeeding (more than 12 months) led to increased risk of stunting and severe stunting among Nepalese children. However, community-based education intervention are needed to reduce preventable deaths triggered by malnutrition in Nepal and should target children born to mothers of low socioeconomic status.

            Risk factors for childhood malnutrition in Roma settlements in Serbia

            Background Children living in Roma settlements in Central and Eastern Europe face extreme levels of social exclusion and poverty, but their health status has not been well studied. The objective of this study was to elucidate risk factors for malnutrition in children in Roma settlements in Serbia. Methods Anthropometric and sociodemographic measures were obtained for 1192 Roma children under five living in Roma settlements from the 2005 Serbia Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey. Multiple logistic regression was used to relate family and child characteristics to the odds of stunting, wasting, and underweight. Results The prevalence of stunting, wasting, and underweight was 20.1%, 4.3%, and 8.0%, respectively. Nearly all of the children studied fell into the lowest quintile of wealth for the overall population of Serbia. Children in the lowest quintile of wealth were four times more likely to be stunted compared to those in the highest quintile, followed by those in the second lowest quintile (AOR = 2.1) and lastly by those in the middle quintile (AOR = 1.6). Children who were ever left in the care of an older child were almost twice as likely to stunted as those were not. Children living in urban settlements showed a clear disadvantage with close to three times the likelihood of being wasted compared to those living in rural areas. There was a suggestion that maternal, but not paternal, education was associated with stunting, and maternal literacy was significantly associated with wasting. Whether children were ever breastfed, immunized or had diarrhoeal episodes in the past two weeks did not show strong correlations to children malnutrition status in this Roma population. Conclusions There exists a gradient relationship between household wealth and stunting even within impoverished settlements, indicating that among poor and marginalized populations socioeconomic inequities in child health should be addressed. Other areas on which to focus future research and public health intervention include maternal literacy, child endangerment practices, and urban settlements.

              Maternal education mitigates the negative effects of higher income on the double burden of child stunting and maternal overweight in rural Mexico.

              Globally, the rate at which maternal overweight and obesity increase with rising wealth is higher than the accompanying decline in the prevalence of child stunting, resulting in the double burden of malnutrition. The positive association between household wealth and child linear growth is larger in households with a more educated mother. However, whether a similar positive and synergistic association between maternal education and household wealth is observed for maternal body weight is unknown. Our objective was to assess the potential protective role of maternal education in the etiology of the double burden of malnutrition (stunted child with an overweight mother). We used data on 1547 nonpregnant mothers (aged 18-49 y) and their children (aged 0-5 y) collected in a cross-sectional survey in 235 rural communities in southern Mexico. Child height-for-age Z-score and maternal body weight were regressed on household wealth, women's schooling, and the interaction between both, controlling for relevant covariates. A similar model was used for the prevalence of double-burden pairs (stunted child with an overweight mother). In mothers with less than primary school, a doubling in wealth was not associated with improved child's height but was associated with an increase in mother's weight (3.7%, P < 0.01). In mothers who had completed primary school, the reverse was found: a doubling in wealth score was associated with improved child height-for-age Z-score (0.32 SD, P < 0.01) but not with mother's weight. As a result, a 100% increase in wealth among households with less schooled mothers was associated with a 4.5 percentage point increase (P < 0.05) in double-burden pairs; in households with mothers with primary schooling or more, it was not associated with the occurrence of double-burden pairs. Maternal schooling effectively mitigated the negative effects of household wealth on the prevalence of double-burden households in rural Mexico. Where maternal schooling is low, poverty reduction must be accompanied by effective behavior change communication to prevent child stunting and to protect women from unhealthy weight gain.
