“…Since the early 2000s, infant and young child feeding (IYCF) has been issued as an essential element to improve growth of children (United Nations 2000;WHO 2000WHO , 2001WHO , 2002Nguyen et al 2011). Implementation of the guiding principles of IYCF is essential in developing countries where the consequences of children's malnutrition, such as stunting, underweight and wasting, are very prevalent (Michael 2006;Black et al 2008;UNICEF 2008;Shetty 2009;Willey et al 2009;Asres & Eidelman 2011;Central Statistical Agency 2011;Beiersmann et al 2012). One of the core indicators of IYCF is dietary diversity, which is a proxy for adequate micronutrient density of foods and liquids other than breast milk.…”

Infant and young child feeding has been recognised as an essential element to improve growth of children, especially in developing countries where malnutrition among children and its dire consequences are very prevalent. However, little attention has been paid on the influence of fathers on child feeding practices, although fathers are very important in raising well-adjusted, happy and successful children. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the influence of fathers' child feeding knowledge and practice on children's dietary diversity. A community-based comparative cross-sectional study was conducted among 850 eligible urban and rural households with children of 6-23 months. The father and mother of the child were interviewed on children's dietary diversity and fathers' knowledge and practice of child feeding. Nearly half (46%) of the children in the rural district did not meet the minimum dietary diversity, and in the urban district, the rate was even worse (72%). Grains were the common food group given to the children in both districts, whereas flesh food was the least commonly consumed food group. Additionally, low vitamin A-rich food and other fruit and vegetable consumption seem to be a problem in both districts. Almost all dimensions of fathers' knowledge and practice were significantly related to children's minimum dietary diversity; especially, fathers' knowledge of food groups was an important predictor (P-value < 0.001) in both districts. Interventions that focus on the fathers' knowledge of child feeding, especially about food groups, are recommended to improve children's dietary diversity in the study communities.

“…The An even stronger associations of survival with MUAC and MUAC with FCPI could be observed if MUAC measurements in our dataset were more equally distributed across seasons; in our data a relatively small number of MUAC measurements were made in the lean season (June -August), when household cereal stocks from the last harvest are running low and proportion of children with low MUAC tends to be higher than in other seasons (42,43).…”

Whether year to year variation in crop yields affects the nutrition, health, and survival of subsistence farming populations is relevant to the understanding of the potential impacts of climate change. However, the empirical evidence is limited. We examined the association of child survival with inter-annual variation in food crop yield and middle-upper arm circumference (MUAC) in a subsistence farming population of rural Burkina Faso. The study was of 44,616 children <5 years of age included in the Nouna Health and Demographic Surveillance System, 1992-2012, whose survival was analysed in relation to the food crop yield in the year of birth (which ranged from 65% to 120% of the period average) and, for a subset of 16,698 children, to MUAC, using shared frailty Cox proportional hazards models. Survival was appreciably worse in children born in years with low yield (fully adjusted hazard ratio of 1.11 (95% confidence interval: 1.02, 1.20) for a 90 th to 10 th centile decrease in annual crop yield) and in children with small MUAC (hazard ratio 2.72 (95% confidence interval: 2.15, 3.44) for a 90 th to 10 th centile decrease in MUAC). These results suggest an adverse impact of variations in crop yields which could increase under climate change.

Summary Within relatively small areas, there exist high spatial variations of mortality between villages. In rural Burkina Faso, with data from 1993 to 1998, clusters of particularly high child mortality were identified in the population of the Nouna Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS), a member of the INDEPTH Network. In this paper, we report child mortality with respect to temporal trends, spatial clustering and disparity in this HDSS from 1993 to 2012. Poisson regression was used to describe village‐specific child mortality rates and time trends in mortality. The spatial scan statistic was used to identify villages or village clusters with higher child mortality. Clustering of mortality in the area is still present, but not as strong as before. The disparity of child mortality between villages has decreased. The decrease occurred in the context of an overall halving of child mortality in the rural area of Nouna HDSS between 1993 and 2012. Extrapolated to the Millennium Development Goals target period 1990–2015, this yields an estimated reduction of 54%, which is not too far off the aim of a two‐thirds reduction.
