Abstract

This study focuses on the identification of the determinants of Energy Protein Malnutrition (EPM) in the peripheral area of Kinshasa. In a quantitative approach supported by a survey, anthropometric measurements (age, weight and height) are taken from 270 children under five years old.  The use of the Chi-square statistical test made it possible to identify the following determinants of MPE: living in a rural environment, single-parent families and low level of education of the mother.
