Background: Chepang Community in Nepal has often been characterized as the poorest among Nepal’s poor, and has faced food insecurity at a household level each year. Health status of their children is poor compared to other community children and more so for the age group under the age of five years. Objective: To find the proportion of stunting, wasting and underweight, and to assess the most promising factors associated with the nutritional status of children under five years of Chepang community in Siddi, Chitwan, Nepal. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional research design was used with 170 samples. To find the association of different factors with the nutritional status of children under 5 years of age (stunting, wasting and underweight, each) binary multiple logistic regression model was used and the goodness of fit of the model was assessed through Hosmer and Lemeshow test. Results: The overall proportion of children under five years of the Chepang community is 60.6%, 30.6% and 44.7% for underweight, stunting and wasting respectively. Among many factors, the mother’s illiteracy (OR: 5.30, 95 % CI: 1.37 to 21.57), external monthly family income (≤ NRs. 2000) (OR: 9.65, 95 % CI: 3.23 to 30.78) and food availability for six months from own land (OR: 4.17, 95 % CI: 1.90 to 17.98) have a significant association with underweight. Similarly, for stunting, female child (OR: 2.19, 95 % CI: 1.02 to 4.70), number of children (more than one) below 14 years at home (OR: 4.15, 95 % CI : 1.77 to 11.04) and external family income (≤ NRs. 2000) (OR: 4.42, 95% CI: 1.01 to 17.06) are significantly associated, and for wasting, a number of children (more than one) below 14 years at home (OR: 4.64, 95 % of CI: 1.71 to 12.60) and external family income (≤ NRs. 2000) (OR: 5.17, 95 % CI: 2.27 to 11.79) are significantly associated. Conclusion: Substantial numbers of children from Chepang community are having the problem of underweight, stunting and wasting. Different demographic and socio-economic variables have been found associated for odds of having low level of nutritional status of children.

Background: One of the biggest nutritional problems in Indonesia is stunting. Children under five years old with stunting are more susceptible to disease and having reduced cognitive abilities. Stunting can be caused by several factors, such as from both external and internal factors. Objective: To find out the determinants of the incidence of stunting among children under five years old in Wukirsari Village, Cangkringan sub district, Sleman, Yogyakarta. Methods: This study was conducted in 23 subvillages in Wukirsari Village in February 2019 with a case control design. This study involved 100 children under five years old with 50 cases and 50 controls. Maternal nutritional status during pregnancy, mothers’ education, family income, and posyandu visit were collected using a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Chi Square test. Results: There was no correlation between mother’s education and posyandu visit with stunting incidence (p>0.05). There was a correlation between family income with stunting incidence (p=0.00). Family who had low income were 6.526 times more likely to have stunted children. Conclusion: There was a significant correlation between family income with stunting incidence.

  Objectives: To study the incidence and causes of injury mortality among children under the age of five years in El-Giza. Setting: The study was conducted in El-Giza, Egypt, the second largest city with a population of ~ 8.7 million for 2017. It comprises urban and semiurban settlements. Methods: A descriptive epidemiological study, which obtained information about all deaths using a questionnaire from 197 Health Centres for one year, 2017. Subjects were residents who died from unintentional and intentional injuries. Results: The overall under fives crude mortality rate was 3.1 per1000. The number of children deaths from injuries was 309(8.7% of all deaths), more among males than females (31.5 υ 23.1 per 100 000). Those under 1 had the highest rate, 32.7 per 100 000. The top three causes of deaths were traffic accidents (31.7%), falls (18.8%), and drowning (11%). Conclusions: Injury is the common cause of deaths among children under five years of age in El-Giza. Because all age groups and both sexes are victims of injuries, and most unintentional injuries are preventable, they must be considered as a priority health problem in El-Giza. More studies are needed in rural areas of Egypt. Recommendations: It is important that child health community in Egypt and in other developing countries enhances its focus on injury as a child health issue and integrate injury prevention efforts in child health policies and programmers.   ، ،

Diarrhoea is the passage of three or more loose or liquid stools per day or more frequent passage than is normal for an individual. Diarrhoea alters the microbiome, thus the immune system, and is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in young children. This study evaluated the association between the risk factors and diarrhoea prevalence among children under five years in Lagos and Ogun States, located in Southwest Nigeria. Participants included 280 women aged 15–49 years and children aged 0–59 months. The study used quantitative data, which were assessed by a structured questionnaire. Data obtained were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences Software Version 25.0 and Microsoft Excel 2013. The relationships and/or association between variables were evaluated using Pearson's Chi Square and logistic regression tests. One hundred and eighteen (42%) of the children were male, and 162 (58%) were female. The majority of the children belonged to the age group 0–11 months (166). Age ( p = 0.113 ) and gender ( p = 0.366 ) showed no significant association with diarrhoea among the children. The majority of the mothers belonged to the age group 30–34. Multivariate analysis showed that the mother's level of education (95% CI for OR = 11.45; P = 0.0001 ) and family income (95% CI for OR = 7.61, P = 0.0001 ) were the most significant risk factors for diarrhoea among children. Mother’s educational status, mother's employment, and family income were the factors significantly associated with diarrhoea in Southwest Nigeria. The study recommends that female education should be encouraged by the right government policy to enhance the achievement of the sustainable development goal three (SDG 3) for the possible reduction of neonates and infants' deaths in Nigeria.

Abstract One form of physical growth failure in children is the "stunting" condition. Stunting is a form of growth disorder characterized by a child having a height that is less appropriate for his age, which is caused by chronic malnutrition since pregnancy. The incidence of Stunting toddlers is worth watching out for, because the danger of stunting can lead to generations who are not smart and sick. WHO set stunting tolerance limits (short stature) a maximum of 20 percent or one fifth of the total number of children under five. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, 7.8 million out of 23 million children under five were stunted or around 35.6 percent. As many as 18.5 percent are very short categories and 17.1 percent are short categories. In 2018, in East Java 2.1 percent of children under five were stunted from the total number of children under five. Experts explain that the main cause of stunting is due to the problem of chronic malnutrition since pregnancy. This research was conducted on community groups that have toddlers with an age range of 2 to 5 years in the working area of puskesmas in Kota Batu. The purpose of this study is to examine several factors that influence the occurrence of Stunting in Toddlers. The study design used probability sampling as a data collection technique, by taking a sample of 106 respondents. The results of the analysis of research data using a linear regression test obtained Economic factors (X3) with a significance value of 0.002 <0.005 and t arithmetic 3.182> t table 2.262, so it can be concluded that X3 influences Y. Thus it can be concluded that economic factors become the dominant factor among factors causing stunting  Key word: causative factors, toddlers, stunting

Poor environmental sanitation will result in diarrheal disease which will later lead to infection and thus lead to malnutrition. In Indonesia, it is recorded that 7.8 million out of 23 million children under five are stunted or around 35.6%. Based on the Tumalehu Health Center report (November 2019), it shows that in 2019 the number of children under five was 1467 and those with poor nutritional status were 89 children (6.07%). The research objective was to analyze the relationship between environmental sanitation and stunting in children under five in the coastal area of Tumalehu Health Center. This research method is analytic observational with a cross-sectional approach, the number of samples is 313 toddlers. Data were analyzed using Chi Square Test. The results of the study using a bivariate test showed that there was a relationship between environmental sanitation, consisting of clean water facilities (p=0.014), SPAL (p=0.05) and waste disposal facilities (p=0.00) with the incidence of stunting (HAZ) in toddler. The conclusion from the research is that poor sanitation can contribute to nutritional problems, in this case a picture of past nutrition problems for children under five, which is indicated by stunting.
