Abstract:
This article delves into an examination of malnutrition in children under the age of 5 within a group of 120 individuals. The research explores socio-demographical factors that impact malnutrition highlighting how prevalent it is across various groups. The data indicates a gender gap, with males making up 66.66% of children. Moreover, there is an occurrence of malnutrition among children aged between 49 to 60 months. Factors like birth order and interval between births also play roles showing that second born children and those born less than 33 months apart are more vulnerable. Additionally, the number of siblings in the family, mother’s age at childbirth and the educational levels of both parents show varying levels of correlation with malnutrition. These results underscore the necessity of considering these elements when crafting targeted interventions to combat malnutrition in children. Recognizing the socio-demographical aspects contributing to malnutrition is essential, for developing effective public health strategies and policies aimed at enhancing child nutrition outcomes.
