Abstract

  The persistent problem of undernutrition and the emerging prevalence of overnutrition hints at a new term for the double burden of malnutrition among children globally. This study aims to provide a review of the published studies concerning the prevalence of double burden of malnutrition at the household level and the associated factors. Articles were identified from the electronic databases of PubMed, Nature, SAGE, Scopus, and SpringerLink, using the same search terms for all. A total of fourteen articles were eligible and sixteen sets of prevalence values were obtained. Most articles were published in 2018 – 2020. Fourteen articles used secondary data from the Demographic and Health Survey. Most articles studied under five children and mothers 15-49 years. Mother’s nutritional status was identified using BMI, while for children height for age z-score was commonly used. The reported prevalence of double burden at the household level varied from 1.0 to 28.0% by country. Frequently assessed factors observed that older children and older mothers were likely to develop a household double burden of malnutrition. A negative association was found when households possessed access to mass media. Overall, the media should have been channels for health promotion. Intervention concerning the nutrition of mothers and children at the household level is required to be intensified through nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive programs.

Abstract

Pregnancy is a critical period during which women’s nutrition knowledge and practices can affect the health and nutrition status of both mother and child. This study aimed to assess the nutrition knowledge, practices and factors associated with nutrition practices among pregnant women attending antenatal care at Yangon Worker’s Hospital, in Tamwe Township, Yangon Region, Myanmar. A cross-sectional study was conducted from August to December 2025 using a face-to-face interview method with structured questionnaires. The study included 169 pregnant women of aged 20 to 45 years. The majority of participants (86.4%) were aged 35 years or younger. In terms of educational attainment, the largest proportion (36.1%) had completed middle school education, while the remaining participants had either primary or high school education. A small fraction of participants (1.2%) illiterate. More than half of the participants (53.3%) were in their first pregnancy, and (89.3%) were in the third trimester. The total nutrition knowledge scores were 33 and the median score (IQR) of participants was 10 (4). A total (65.7%) of the participants had good nutrition practices. Nutrition knowledge scores and ethnicity were significantly associated with nutrition practices; (AOR = 1.24, 95% CI: 1.04–1.37), and (AOR = 3.46, 95% CI: 1.12–10.67). This study highlighted the needs in nutrition education, particularly in awareness about the importance of micronutrients and culturally sensitive counseling to address food taboos for promoting healthy dietary practices and reducing preventable complications during pregnancy.
