“…NPNL women with meal frequency <3 meals per day were more than 5 times affected by chronic energy deficiency than that of women with meal frequency≥3 meals per day. This positively associated result was consistent with studies conducted in Kunama (Tigray), Debretabor (Amhara) & Asayita (Afar) respectively [ 21 , 22 , 29 ]. However, meal frequency did not show statistical significant association with under nutrition in a study done among Bangladesh women of reproductive age [ 34 ].…”

“…Different studies showed that the determinant factors of CED varied [ 18 , 21 ]. Factors, such as age, occupation, meal frequency, health status, marital status, educational status, residence, number of parity and food insecurity, are some of the causes of CED in non-pregnant women [ 18 , 21 – 23 ].…”

Background In Ethiopia about 25% of rural women are chronically malnourished. Non-pregnant and non-lactating women present an opportunity to implement strategies to correct maternal and child health status and to potentiate improved pregnancy outcomes in developing countries like Ethiopia. The determinant factors of chronic energy deficiency vary across settings and contexts; hence, it is important to identify local determinant factors in order to implement effective and efficient intervention strategies. Objective To assess the determinants of chronic energy deficiency of non-pregnant, non-lactating rural women within the reproductive age group (15–49 years), in rural kebeles of Dera district, North West Ethiopia, 2019. Methods A community based unmatched case control study was conducted. A total of 552 participants were involved and a multi-stage sampling technique was used to select the samples. Data was collected from January 15 to February 30, 2019 using face-to-face interviews and anthropometric assessments. EPI-info version 7 and SPSS™ version 23 were used for data entry and analysis, respectively. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression models were used to analyze the association between dependent and independent variables. Association was considered statistically significant at 95% CI with p-value < 0.05 in multivariable logistic regression. Result A total of 548 non-pregnant, non-lactating women with 137 cases and 411 controls were included in the study with a response rate of 99.3%. High family size (AOR = 1.88, 95% CI: 1.085, 3.275), low educational status (AOR = 3.389, 95% CI: 1.075, 10.683), inadequate meal frequency (AOR = 5.345, 95% CI: 2.266, 12.608), absence of home garden (AOR = 5.612, 95% CI: 3.177, 9.915) and absence of latrine facility (AOR = 6.365, 95% CI: 3.534, 11.462) were found positively associated with chronic energy deficiency. Conclusion and recommendation Inadequate meal frequency, absence of home gardening, absence of latrine facility, high family size and educational status of illiterate were the determinants of chronic energy deficiency, thus indicating the imperative for a multi-sectoral approach with health, agriculture and education entities developing and delivering interventions.

Background: An assessment on the management practices and uses of Ficus thonningii tree by smallholder farmers' was carried from December 2014 to March 2015 to evaluate the status of tree management, utilization as livestock feed and identify major production and utilization constraints. Three districts were purposely selected based on abundance of the tree from northwestern Ethiopia, and from each district, three peasant associations (smallest administrative unit) were selected purposely based on the abundance of F. thonningii availability and farmers' utilization practices. The methodology of the study encompasses questionnaire, group discussion, key informant interview and secondary data sources. Descriptive statistics and linear regression were employed to present the quantitative and qualitative variables obtained from the survey. Results: The result indicated in all districts, livestock feed shortage during dry season was a critical problem. The ownership of F. thonningii tree indicated nonsignificant (P > 0.05) difference among the study districts. The types of livestock species reported feeding F. thonningii were cattle (54.2%), sheep (24.1%) and goats (21.7%) in all study districts. Among the parts of the tree used as feed, leaves in fresh form were used as dry season supplement to the livestock. The majority of respondents in the study districts reported to have accustomed practicing feeding F. thonningii leaves in the fresh from, followed by wilting and both fresh and wilting. Of the constraints of farmers in the study districts in using F. thonningii as feed for livestock were lack of training (51%), followed by land shortage (31%) and labor scarcity (18%). Conclusions: This preliminary assessment indicated that the tree has valuable benefit to mitigate critical livestock feed scarcity in the dry season; farmers do have many constraints in its fullest utilization. Hence, to exploit the potential of F. thonningii as livestock fodder in northwestern Ethiopia, smallholder farmers should get training on production and utilization of the fodder tree.

These study aims were to determine the prevalence and the associated factors of chronic kidney disease among women in Indonesia. Methodology: This cross-sectional study used the data from the Indonesia Family Life Survey wave 5 (IFLS-5) during year 2014 to 2015. This cross-sectional national population survey used a multistage stratified random sampling to select the respondents to response to a structured questionnaire interview, laboratory test and anthropometric measurements. 14,141 women passed the inclusion criteria for the analysis. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine the association. The average age of the respondents involved in this research was 37.40 years old. Results: Only a small percentage of 1.07 percent of respondents noticed the prevalence of chronic kidney disease. There were 151 out of 14,141 respondents reported the presence of CKD. The final model of a multiple logistic regression indicated that cardiovascular and cholesterol were significantly associated with the Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) among women in Indonesia. Other significant covariate factors were age (above 50 years old), overweight or obesity and smoking. Conclusion: Metabolic factors include cardiovascular and cholesterol as well as age, body mass index (BMI), and smoking were associated with CKD among women in Indonesia.
