Pooled prevalence and associated factors of overweight/obesity among under-five children in 46 low- and middle-income countries
Overweight and obesity remain major global public health challenges, particularly among children under five years of age in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This study aimed to assess the pooled prevalence of overweight/obesity and its associated factors among children aged 6–59 months in 46 LMICs. We used the most recent nationally representative demographic and health surveys (2015–2024) from forty-six LMICs. A total of 393,638 weighte…
Daily meal frequency and its associated factors among children aged 6–23 months in Ethiopia
Background: Inadequate feeding frequency during the early childhood period is responsible for more than two-thirds of global child deaths. Evidence on the rate of daily meal frequency among infants and young children at the national level is crucial for developing targeted interventions to improve feeding practices. Hence, this study aimed to identify factors associated with the rate of daily meal frequency (DMF) among children aged 6-23 months i…
Multilevel modelling of determinants of perinatal mortality in East Africa
The study reveals several significant factors associated with perinatal mortality in East Africa. Factors such as women who gave birth before the age of 20, not married, mass media exposure, having more children, twin births, history of abortion, residing in rural areas, and in low-income countries were linked to higher odds of perinatal mortality, however, being older age, better education, better wealth, modern contraception, longer birth inter…
Early postnatal care uptake and its associated factors following childbirth in East Africa—a Bayesian hierarchical modeling approach
Background: The postnatal period is a critical period for both mothers and their newborns for their health. Lack of early postnatal care (PNC) services during a 2-day period is a life-threatening situation for both the mother and the babies. However, no data have been examined for PNCs in East Africa. Hence, using the more flexible Bayesian multilevel modeling approach, this study aims to investigate the pooled prevalence and potential factors fo…
Knowledge, and utilization of HIV self-testing, and its associated factors among women in sub–Saharan Africa
The level of knowledge and utilization of HIVST among women in SSA was very low. To improve this situation, maternal health services can be enhanced. This can be achieved by facilitating institutional delivery, promoting access to modern contraception, increasing ANC coverage, empowering women's associations, creating culturally respectful mass media content, and involving rural and economically disadvantaged women. By implementing these measures…
Knowledge and attitude to HIV pre exposure prophylaxis among women in five sub-Saharan African countries
Less than one-seventh of women exhibited knowledge of and positive attitudes toward HIV PrEP. All stakeholders involved in HIV/AIDS prevention and control have recognized the significance of the factors mentioned above. Enhancing maternal health services, such as promoting institutional delivery, contraception, antenatal care (ANC), and women's empowerment, alongside harnessing the power of media and embracing these transformative changes, will c…
