OBJECTIVE: This study aims to identify the key determinants of malaria infection among children under five by examining both individual-level characteristics a…

  • Prevalence, spatial distribution, and determinants of wasting among children under five in Senegal

    Open AccessTadesse Tarik Tamir, Berhan Tekeba et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Introduction Child undernutrition remains a persistent public health challenge across sub-Saharan Africa.

  • Magnitude and associated factors of unhealthy food consumption among women in lesotho

    Open AccessEnyew Getaneh Mekonen, Tadesse Tarik Tamir et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Unhealthy food consumption is associated with a higher risk of diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. It can affect the health of the child and the mother herself when it is consumed by women of reproductive age. Designing successful health interventions to lessen the impact of non-communicable diseases requires an understanding of the magnitude and determinants of unhealthy food consumption. Therefore, this study is intended to assess th…

  • Determinants of cervical cancer screening uptake in Lesotho

    Open AccessMulugeta Wassie, Alebachew Ferede Zegeye et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Cervical cancer screening rates were found to be low in this study. To encourage screening behavior, raising awareness through accessible media platforms and providing education to women could be effective. Additionally, older age was identified as a factor positively associated with screening uptake. The government should prioritize cervical cancer prevention and screening, as it remains the most cost-effective method for preventing cervical can…

    Childhood wasting in Africa exceeds the global target set for 2025, which aims to reduce it to less than 5%. To address this critical issue, educating mothers without formal education and rural residents about antenatal care visits, institutional delivery, and proper child feeding practices is essential. Moreover, a renewed focus on tackling the multifaceted factors of undernutrition, strengthening health systems, and implementing evidence-based …

  • Minimum acceptable diet use and its associated factors among children aged 6–23 in Ghana

    Open AccessBerhan Tekeba, Belayneh Shetie Workneh et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Introduction Inappropriate feeding practices are a major contributor to child malnutrition. To monitor the feeding practices of young children, current and frequent studies are required. However, as far as our searches are concerned, there is a scarcity of up-to-date information on attainment of the minimum acceptable diet and its predictors in the study area. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the magnitude of attainment of the minimum accept…

  • Prevalence of children living with non-biological parents and its determinants among children under 18 in Ethiopia

    Open AccessBerhan Tekeba, Alebachew Ferede Zegeye et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Introduction The absence of a biological parent from a child's existence had a negative impact on the child's growth, socialization, psychological wellbeing, and economic productivity. Developing nations like Ethiopia experience a huge number of orphans and family-unbounded children. But the exact figure has not been reported yet at the national level recently. Thus, this study aimed to assess the magnitudes and determinants of children living wi…

  • Minimum milk feeding frequency and its associated factors among non-breastfed children aged 6–23 months in sub-saharan Africa

    Open AccessEnyew Getaneh Mekonen, Belayneh Shetie Workneh et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    In sub-Saharan Africa, the proportion of minimum milk feeding frequency among non-breastfed children aged between 6 and 23 months was low. The likelihood of minimum milk feeding frequency increases with high levels of education, unemployment, media exposure, rich wealth status, being unmarried, having a child born in a health facility, getting PNC checks, being between 6 and 8 months old, and living in an urban area. Hence, promoting women's educ…
