Business Management Review

Household Food Access And Child Malnutrition: Results From The Eight-Country Mal-Ed Study, Zulfiqar Ahmed Bhutta, Maled Network Investigators, Anita K. M. Zaidi, Sajid Bashir Soofi, Ali Turab, Didar Alam, Shahida Qureshi, Aisha Khizar Yousafzai, Syed Asad Ali, Imran Ahmed, Sajad Memon, Muneera Rasheed

Woman and Child Health

Background: Stunting results from decreased food intake, poor diet quality, and a high burden of early childhood infections, and contributes to significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although food insecurity is an important determinant of child nutrition, including stunting, development of universal measures has been challenging due to cumbersome nutritional questionnaires and concerns about lack of comparability across populations. We investigate the relationship between household food access, one component of food security, and indicators of nutritional status in early childhood across eight country sites.
Methods: We administered a socioeconomic survey to 800 households in research sites in eight countries, including a …
