Background: Non-pregnant and non-lactating women are the most vulnerable and neglected segments in most society. However, the non-pregnant and non-lactating women are the best window of opportunity to implement strategies, to correct maternal and child death and improve good pregnancy outcomes especially in Ethiopia. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of chronic energy deficiency and associated factors among rural women (18-49 ages) in Mirab-Badwacho district, Hadiya zone, Southern Ethiopia.Methods: A community based cross sectional study was employed. Multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 634 study participants. Data were collected by structured questionnaire by trained data collectors. Descriptive statistics was done and the association between the dependent and independent variables was measured using OR at 95% confidence interval. Results: The overall prevalence of chronic energy deficiency among non-lactating and non-pregnant women was 35.2% (95% CI: 31.5%, 38.9%). Age of the respondents (AOR=1.91, 95% CI: 1.06, 3.46), family size (AOR= 1.61, 95% CI: 1.14, 2.27), meal frequency per day in the past 24 hours (AOR=3.18, 95% CI: 1.26, 8.05), drinking treated water (AOR=1.82, 95% CI: 1.11, 3.08), and past history of illness (AOR=1.60, 95% CI: 1.13, 2.26) were statistical significantly associated with women’s chronic energy deficiency.Conclusion: Chronic energy deficiency was found to be high in the study area. Therefore, sustained health and nutrition education should be recommended to the communities on health care practices, proper water treatments, feeding practices and dietary diversifications in order to improve health and nutrition outcomes of non-pregnant and non-lactating women.

<pre>Chronic Energy Deficiency is a situation where the nutritional status someone is on the Less Good Condition. Among the 22 health centers in the district of Lima Puluh Kota, CED highest coverage at the health center are Banja Laweh Namely Case 17 (16.50%) of 103 pregnant mothers.

Based on the findings of interviews stating Not pregnant women know the importance of the size upper arm circumference on Against her pregnancy, in addition to pregnant women consume no food Diversified, because lust Eating Less and Economics not sufficient. Objectives for review determine factors related to the occurrence of Chronic energy deficiency on pregnant women. Methods descriptive analytic with cross sectional approach. Data collection is done on Date in January-February 2017. CASE is a whole population of pregnant women in the region are working Health Center Banja Laweh Year 2017, amounted to 55 people, with sampling total sampling. Operating data analysis using univariate and bivariate statistical test Chi Square. Results of univariate analysis 87,3% of respondents experienced Genesis not CED, (60,0%) High Knowledge, (56,4%) Economy High, and 61,8% of Eating Well. Bivariate analysis known Relationship of Knowledge (p = 0.013 and OR = 12,000, Economics (p = 0.035 and OR = 10,000), and Diet (p = 0.019 and OR = 13,200) with the Genesis CED pregnant women. Can be concluded that the factors related to the occurrence of CED pregnant women is Science, Economics and the Diet. Expected to conduct monitoring of the health center and Supervision of pregnant women at risk Against The Genesis CED, so the negative impact of the CED can be addressed early on.</pre>

Abstract Background Trachoma is an infectious disease of the eye caused by Chlamydia trachomatis and transmitted via contact with eye discharge from infected persons and leading to blindness worldwide. Children less than 9 years of age affected more seriously. The disease is common where access to water and sanitation are limited. Objective To determine the prevalence of active trachoma and associated factors among children aged 1–9 years in rural communities of Metema District, West Gondar Zone, Northwest Ethiopia. Method A community based cross-sectional study design was used to collect data from 792 children aged 1–9 years old in Metema district from April to May 2018. Multistage sampling technique was used to select the study participants. Pretested interviewer-administered structured questionnaire and eye examination using binocular loupe to differentiate trachoma cases was the data collection methods and tools. The bivariable and multivariable binary logistic regression model was employed for analysis. P-value < 0.05 was considered to declare statistical significance. Results A total of 752 children aged l-9 years were enrolled in this study with response rate of 94.9%. The overall prevalence of active trachoma among the study participants was 11.8% (95% CI, 9.5–13.9). Unprotected source of water (AOR = 4.7; 95% CI: 2.5–8.9), lower household water consumption (AOR = 2.8; 95% CI: 1.3–6.0), improper latrine utilization (AOR = 3.2; 95% CI: 1.5–6.7), and frequency of face washing once per day (AOR = 5.3; 95% CI: 1.2–26.6) were the factors significantly associated with active trachoma. Conclusion The current study revealed a lower overall prevalence of active trachoma (11.8%) than the WHO threshold prevalence (20%) used to declare it as a severe public health problem. All residents and health professional should collaborate on trachoma prevention by implementing the WHO SAFE strategy- surgery for trichiasis, antibiotics, facial cleanliness and environmental improvement for further trachoma elimination.
