Quantile regression application to identify key determinants of malnutrition in five West African countries of Gabon, Gambia, Liberia, Mauritania, and Nigeria
Background: Malnutrition remains one of the most pressing health challenges, particularly in developing nations across Africa, placing a significant burden on both public health agencies and the affected countries. In countries such as Gabon, Gambia, Mauritania, Liberia, and Nigeria, the burden of malnutrition exacerbates public health systems, strains economic resources, and hinders sustainable development, underscoring the urgent need for coord…
Determining the risk factors of malaria and anemia in children between 6 and 59 months using the joint generalized linear mixed model on the 2021 Nigeria Malaria Indicator Survey dataset
Background: Malaria and anemia are significant public health concerns that contribute to child mortality in African. Despite global efforts to control the two diseases, their prevalence in high-risk regions like Nigeria remains high. Understanding socioeconomic, demographic, and geographical factors associated with malaria and anemia, is critical for effective intervention strategies. Objective: The study aims to assess the risk factors for malar…
Determinants associated with anemia level among children under 5 years in Gambia
Introduction Anemia remains a public health concern globally in industrialized and developing nations, especially for children under five. It is still the leading cause of illness and mortality, which is harmful, especially in children from developing countries. Furthermore, children’s emotional, physical, and mental health can be negatively impacted by anemia if it is not addressed promptly. Researchers have unraveled the intricate relationships…
Determinants of childhood anaemia in Nigeria
In Nigeria, anaemia is still a major public health issue for children under five, and its high prevalence is caused by a variety of risk factors. Conventional regression techniques frequently ignore the ways in which these risk factors affect various population segments. The distributional effects of environmental and sociodemographic factors on childhood haemoglobin levels are investigated in this study using quantile regression. Data from the 2…
Copula Geo-Additive Modeling of Anaemia and Malnutrition among Children under Five Years in Angola, Senegal, and Malawi
Notwithstanding the interventions implemented to address child mortality, anaemia and malnutrition remain a concern for the future of developing countries. Anaemia and malnutrition contribute a high proportion of the causes of childhood morbidity in Africa. The objective of this study is to jointly model anaemia and malnutrition using a copula geo-additive model. This study is a secondary data analysis where a Demographic and Health Survey of 201…
Joint modelling of anaemia and stunting in children less than five years of age in Lesotho
Anaemia and stunting or malnutrition showed linked longitudinal trajectories, suggesting both conditions could lead to synergetic improvements in overall child health. Demographic, socio-economic, and geographical characteristics were also important drivers of stunting and anaemia in children younger than 5 years. Thus, children living in similar resources settings as Lesotho could benefit from coordinated programs designed to address both malnut…
Prevalence and Risk Factors Associated with Malaria among Children Aged Six Months to 14 Years Old in Rwanda
Malaria is a major public health risk in Rwanda where children and pregnant women are most vulnerable. This infectious disease remains the main cause of morbidity and mortality among children in Rwanda. The main objectives of this study were to assess the prevalence of malaria among children aged six months to 14 years old in Rwanda and to identify the factors associated with malaria in this age group. This study used data from the 2017 Rwanda Ma…
Spatial Analysis of Socio-Economic and Demographic Factors Associated with Contraceptive Use among Women of Childbearing Age in Rwanda
Contraceptive use is considered as essential for protecting women's health and rights, influencing fertility and population growth, and helping to promote economic development. The main objective of this study was to analysis the factors and spatial correlates of contraceptive use among women of childbearing age. The 2015 Rwanda Demographic and Health Survey (RDHS) data were used to identify the factors associated with contraceptive use in Rwanda…
Structured Additive Quantile Regression for Assessing the Determinants of Childhood Anemia in Rwanda
Childhood anemia is among the most significant health problems faced by public health departments in developing countries. This study aims at assessing the determinants and possible spatial effects associated with childhood anemia in Rwanda. The 2014/2015 Rwanda Demographic and Health Survey (RDHS) data was used. The analysis was done using the structured spatial additive quantile regression model. The findings of this study revealed that the chi…
Spatial Distribution of Determinants of Malnutrition of Children under Five Years in Rwanda
The main objective of this paper was to identify the risk factors of malnutrition among children under five years in Rwanda and produce the maps of prevalence of joint distribution of stunting, underweight and wasting. Each of these anthropometric indicators is categorized as malnourished (z-score -20). The spatial multivariate generalized linear mixed model is used to simultaneously identify the spatial distribution of risk factors of malnutriti…
Determinants of Poverty of Households in Rwanda
Eradication of poverty is the main objective of most societies and policy makers, but developing a perfect or accurate poverty assessment tool to target poor households, in most cases, is a challenge for applied policy research. In this paper, the principal component analysis was first used to create an asset index for each household and thereafter the quantile regression model was used to identify the determinants of poverty of households in Rwa…
