Abstract

Background: A child's ability to achieve growth standards is determined by the adequacy of food intake. Malnutrition in toddlers increases the risk of stunting, which is a serious problem. Stunting is closely related to neurocognitive development, risk of non-communicable diseases, and decreased productivity. Appropriate complementary feeding is an important milestone in efforts to improve survival and promote healthier child growth and development and can significantly reduce stunting. This study aims to estimate the magnitude of the effect of poor complementary feeding practices on the incidence of stunting in toddlers using a meta-analysis study. Subjects and Method: The meta-analysis was carried out with the initial step of formulating the research problem using the PICO technique. The study population were children aged 6-59 months with poor complementary feeding, compare with good complementary feeding. The study outcome was stunting. Articles were selected from Google Scholar, PubMed, Springer Link, and Research Gate databases. The keywords used were "complementary Feeding practice" OR "meal frequency" OR "dietary diversity" AND "Stunting". The inclusion criteria were full text, observational studies, and the results reported in Adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR). Analysis of articles using RevMan 5.3. Results: A meta-analysis involved 16 articles. The results showed that the low variety of complemen­tary feeding increased the incidence of stunting 1.72 times compared to various types of complementary feeding (Aor= 1.72; 95% CI= 1.54 to 1.92; p < 0.001). Infrequent complementary feeding increased the incidence of stunting by 1.85 (aOR= 1.85; 95% CI 1.34 to 2.55; p <0.001). Conclusion: The diversity of types of complementary foods and low frequency of giving complementary foods increase the incidence of stunting in children aged 6-59 months. Keywords: complementary feeding practice, feeding frequency, food diversity, stunting. Correspondence: Isna Yuswella Babys. Master’s Program in Public Health Sciences, Universitas Sebelas Maret, Jl.

Abstract

Background: The purpose of this study is to assess the current status of diarrhea among the under-five children in Bangla­desh by exploring the risk factors which are associated with this disease. Subjects and Method: In this study, a nationally representative cross-sectional data had been used and the sample of women having under five children was selected by using a two stage stratified sampling method. A total of 7410 under five children were included. The depen­dent variable of this study was the status of diarrhea disease in the two weeks preceding the survey. The independent variable was edu­cation-wealth composi­tion along with some other important variables such as age of child­ren, delive­ry by caesarean section, migration status, mother’s age at birth, type of residence, source of toilet facility, sources of drinking water. The bivariate analysis was chi-square. The multi­va­riate analysis was a multiple logistic regre­ssion. Results: According to this research study, education and wealth didn’t show any impact individually in the logistic regression model but when we excluded education and wealth from the model and create it is composition, it worked as a significant influential factor of diarrhea disease in Bangladesh. Women who were literate and their wealth status was not rich (OR= 0.64; 95% CI= 0.43 to 0.96; p= 0.030), women who were literate and rich (OR= 0.55; 95% CI= 0.35 to 0.88; p = 0.012) had significant association with childhood diarrhea. In addition to that only children age between 6-23 months (OR= 3.49; 95% CI= 2.23 to 5.48; p<0.001) and 24-35 months (OR= 1.75; 95% CI= 1.08 to 2.85; p= 0.023) worked out as a significant predictor of childhood diarrhea. Conclusion: This study was expected to help to build up a proper understanding about the socio-economic factors in order to reduce the childhood diarrhea in Bang­la­desh.

Abstract

Background: The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends breastfeeding for at least one year. However, studies have shown that the constraints of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), which provides 12 weeks of unpaid leave, may impede this recommendation. Our objective was to evaluate whether employer provided and planned maternity leave duration was associated with breastfeeding duration. Subjects and Method: This was a prospective cohort study wherein 480 postpartum women were recruited from Prentice Hospital between May and July of 2017. Participants completed a questionnaire immediately postpartum and at 12 to 14 weeks postpartum. Independent variables were employer provided and planed maternity duration and partner leave duration. Dependent variables were intention to breastfeed for one year and actual breastfeeding status at 12 to 14 weeks postpartum. Bivariable and multivariable analyses were performed. Results: Of the 480 women enrolled, 226 (47.28%) intended to breastfeed for at least one year. Women who planned a longer maternity leave were significantly more likely to intend to breastfeed for at least one year (37.41% vs 35.71%, p= 0.033). This persisted after controlling for possible confounders (aOR = 4.08, CI 95%= 1.10 to 15.13, p= 0.040) However, there was no difference in intention to breastfeed for at least one year by the duration of employer allocated maternity or partner leave. There were no differences in actual breastfeeding rates at 12 weeks postpartum across various durations of intended or taken maternity or partner leave. Conclusion: Increased planned maternity leave duration is associated with increased intention to breastfeed, however actual breastfeeding rates at 12 weeks postpartum were not associated with maternity leave duration.
