Abstract:Double burden is not exclusive to urban areas. Future policies and interventions should address under- and overweight simultaneously in both rural and urban developing country settings.
“…Household size has been linked to household dual burden in other transitioning populations (Oddo et al, 2012). Within the context of stunting it seems counter-intuitive that larger families have children with more adiposity.…”
5Objective: The co-existence of very short stature due to poor chronic environment in early life 6 and obesity is becoming a public health concern in rapidly transitioning populations with high 7 levels of poverty. Individuals who have very short stature seem to be at an increased risk of poverty. These results suggest that the co-existence of very short stature and obesity appears to 24 be primarily due to exposures and experiences within a generation rather than across generations.

“…Household characteristics including family size, poverty levels, and sources of drinking water have been explored in analysis and found to be significant predictors for child malnutrition [21]. Other studies have highlighted the importance of household sanitary facilities and pre-natal maternal nutritional status as increasing the prevalence of malnutrition [22].…”
Malnutrition refers to deficiencies, excesses or imbalances in a person's intake of energy and/or nutrients. The burden of childhood malnutrition in developing countries continues to rise posing significant obstacle to achievement of better child health interventions. Several factors are involved in causation of malnutrition with Arid and Semi-Arid lands greatly affected as a result of erratic weather patterns, droughts, conflicts, poor access to health services and food among others. This study aims at investigating the risk factors for child malnutrition in North Rift Arid and semi-Arid lands (ASAL) counties of Kenya based on the 2014 Demographic and Health survey (DHS) data.
“…18 Hasil penelitian juga tidak sejalan dengan penelitian lainnya yang melaporkan adanya hubungan antara besar keluarga dengan pola asuh dan status gizi balita 4 dan hasil penelitian lain yang menyebutkan adanya hubungan antara besar keluarga dengan malnutrisi pada balita dan kematian akibat malnutrisi. 19 Tidak adanya hubungan antara besar keluarga dengan status gizi balita pada penelitian ini dikarenakan lebih dari separuh jumlah balita (58,7%) tinggal dalam keluarga besar yang beranggotakan lebih dari 4 orang. Selain itu, ada kecenderungan yang hamper sama pada kelompok kasus dan kontrol yaitu tinggal dalam lingkungan keluarga besar (54,3%).…”
