“…According to a community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Wolaita district from May to June 2015, stunting was not statistically significant with child's age. 8 The finding of stunting in relation to children age was in line with a study conducted in Bhadrapur district of Nepal. 6 Stunting and wasting were significantly associated with education of mothers in this study and the result is supported by different studies conducted around the world.…”

“…6 Stunting and wasting were significantly associated with education of mothers in this study and the result is supported by different studies conducted around the world. 7,8,9 The finding from NDHS 2016 also has stated that the children of mothers with low education had higher level of undernutrition. Regarding income of the family of the children in the community, Both the stunting (p=0.003) and wasting (p=0.04) were significantly associated with income of the family.…”

Background: Proper nutrition is crucial for healthy living. According to Nepal multi-indicator cluster survey 2019, prevalence of stunting, wasting and underweight were 31.5%, 12% and 24.3% respectively. The prevalence of under nutrition is higher in Karnali Province than other Provinces of Nepal. This study is conducted to assess the factors affecting the nutritional status of under five years’ children in Rara Chhayanath municipality, Mugu district.Methods: A community based cross sectional study was conducted in Rara Chhayanath municipality, Mugu district of Nepal which was purposively selected. Three wards were selected for collection of data. Verbal informed consent was taken from the mothers of the under five children and approval was taken from Little Buddha College of Health Science and Municipality. Bivariate analysis was performed to identify the factors associated with nutrition status of children. Results: In the study, prevalence of stunting and wasting were high as compared to national data i.e., 40.4% and 14.1% percent respectively. The study found that maternal education, family income, exclusive breastfeeding and minimum meal frequency were significantly associated with stunting and wasting.Conclusions: Socio-economic and child feeding practices were the associated factors of under nutrition. Programs should be focused on socio demographic and economic factors and child feeding practice to reduce problem of malnutrition.

Background: About 8 to 44% of all child mortality in Africa is associated with undernutrition. To alleviate this problem, it is necessary to determine the magnitude and determinants of undernutrition. However, there is scarce evidence in an urban setting like Ambo town. Therefore, this study assessed the magnitude and factors associated with undernutrition under five children in Ambo town, west Ethiopia.Methods and patients: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Ambo town from March 01 - 30, 2020. A systematic sampling technique was employed to select 363 study participants. Nutritional status indices were generated using ENASMART software. After testing for collinearity, variables with a p-value < 0.25 in binary logistic regression were interred to backward multiple logistic regressions at a level of significance of p < 0.05. Results: This study found 16.00%, 25.30%, and 19.00% of the study participants were underweight, wasted, and stunted respectively. Decisions making on major food purchases, who usually care for the child, the age at which the child starts complimentary food, late introduction of complementary food were positively associated with wasting. Diarrhea, birth weight, child age, age at which the child starts complimentary food, consumption of milk and milk product, and who usually care for the child were significantly associated with underweight. Consumption of milk and milk products, household food security level, and birth weight were independent determinants of stunting. Conclusion: This study identified high prevalence of undernutrition, especially wasting. Child birth weight, age, diarrhea, feeing practice, house hold (HH) food security, Decision making on major food purchase, late introduction of complimentary food were found to be the potential determinants of undernutrition. Thus there should be an effort to improve the nutritional status of children in the study area by focusing on these factors.

“…Hasil penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Asfaw et al (2015) menyimpulkan bahwa diare dalam dua minggu terakhir berhubungan dengan berat badan kurang, stunting, dan wasting pada balita. Sedangkan penelitian Workie et al (2020) diare dalam dua minggu sebelumnya meningkatkan risiko malnutrisi. Selanjutnya, studi Mekonen et al (2019), bahwa status gizi yang lebih rendah telah dikaitkan dengan diare baru-baru ini.…”

Nutritional-related problems can severely impact the growth and development of children under five. It can trigger low IQ and delays in motor and skill development. Therefore, a good understanding of the factors related to children's nutrition will lead to the successful prevention of malnutrition in children under five. This research aims to analyze and synthesize data on factors related to the nutritional status of children under five. This study used a narrative review method. The literature in English was searched using the indexed databases of Google Scholar, Scopus, and PubMed. There were 9.129 scientific journals, and only 13 met the inclusion criteria. From the 13 journals, information was collected in the form of publication years from 2015 to 2021, journal titles, research designs, research populations, interventions, results, and most importantly, the nutrition issue in children under five. Data processing was done by collecting sentences that were relevant to the coding, reading and marking essential sentences, and compiling a framework for reviewing narratives. Data analysis was carried out qualitatively by presenting data and compiling research reports. The results reveal that variables such as prelacteal feeding history, mother's education, infectious diseases suffered, and antenatal care visits were the most critical factors affecting the nutritional status of children under five. Conclusion: The main factors causing the nutritional status of children under five are that the children have a history of prelacteal feeding, low maternal education, children under five often experience infectious diseases, and low antenatal care visits.
