Contextual determinates of under-five malnutrition in mining communities: a critical review of nutrition interventions for optimal impact by Herbert Tato Nyirenda, David Mulenga, Hilda Nyambe-Silavwe

“…Multivariate logistic regression further reveals that key determinants of child underweight include age (aOR = 15.24, p < 0.001), caregiver disability or chronic illness status (aOR = 0.14, p < 0.001), inadequate food production (aOR = 1.94, p = 0.009), and expenditure priorities (aOR = 2.46, p = 0.007). These factors collectively highlight the multifaceted nature of child undernutrition.ConclusionThe findings highlight the critical importance of considering contextual factors when developing nutrition interventions. …”
