It is necessary to identify the key contributing factors to malnutrition in the target population in order to put control and prevention measures in place and lower the chances of malnutrition. The purpose of this study is to determine the characteristics of undernourished children under the age of five and the risk factors causing malnutrition, in Sulaimani governorate/Iraq. Methods: A case control study was conducted in the maternal and child health clinics in four health centers of Sulaimani, Iraq from October 2021 to April 2022.Case was a child with moderate to severe malnutrition with zscores < −2SD and > +2SD from the median of WHO reference. Control was a child without malnutrition with zscores between -2SD and +2SD and the age matched with cases. Direct interviews with the mother of each child were conducted, and the weight and height of each child were measured. We gathered information on socioeconomic features, environmental aspects, child characteristics, caregiver methods and resources. Results: A total of 293 children (74 cases and 219 controls) were selected. The majority (34.8 and 79.1%) of the children in the study were in the age group of 24-35 to 12-23 months in case and control groups respectively. After adjusting all confounders, Mother Visit to ANC during pregnancy and method of child delivery are two of childhood significant associations with malnutrition.

“…25 Consanguineous marriage increases the prevalence of rare genetic congenital anomalies and nearly doubles the risk of neonatal and childhood mortality, mental disorders, and other abnormalities in their off-springs. 26 Ruling out all the other etiological causes it was found in all the three cases that the parents were first cousins and the possibility of consanguinity was established as a probable etiological factor However, there is a scarcity of data correlating parental consanguinity with dental anomalies. Hence, Further studies are required to elucidate the possibility of their correlation.…”

Dental agenesis is a commonly encountered dental anomaly that affects more than 20% of the human population. It can be categorized as hypodontia, oligodontia, or anodontia. Oligodontia can occur either as an isolated finding or as a part of the syndrome, and the causative factor can be either environmental or genetic.: This report describes three cases of isolated, non-syndromic tooth agenesis with single/ multiple missing permanent teeth. No other associated clinical features or any systemic involvement were present in these cases, suggesting parental consanguinity as a possible etiological factor.: The purpose of this case report is to promulgate premarital counselling and health awareness programs focusing on the potential consequences of consanguineous marriages and their prevention.
