Prevalence of low birth weight and associated factors in Ethiopia: An umbrella review of systematic review and meta-analyses
Low birth weight (LBW) is one of the major causes of neonatal mortality and morbidity in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Despite the goal of reducing newborn morbidity and mortality by 2030, low-income countries, including Ethiopia, still confront major challenges. Although various systematic reviews and meta-analyses (SRMA) have been conducted on LBW in Ethiopia, there is notable variation among their findings. This umbrella review aime…
Perceived stigma and the role of BMI on perceived HIV-related stigma among people living with HIV/Aids in Southeast Ethiopia
The prevalence of perceived HIV-related stigma was found high. Patients with poor social support and non-adherent to HAART were more likely to suffer from HIV-related perceived stigma. Our findings suggest that there is a relationship between body mass index and perceived HIV-related stigma, while depression can indirectly predict perceived HIV-related stigma
Effect of nutrition education on hemoglobin level of pregnant women in Southeast Ethiopia: A cluster randomized controlled trial
The findings showed that a comprehensive nutrition education intervention using the health belief model (HBM) and theory of planned behaviour (TPB) designed to improve dietary diversity substantially improved hemoglobin (Hgb) levels among pregnant women. While we found no single dietary factor to be significant, in this group of pregnant women in Ethiopia, an increase in the daily consumption of a cup of coffee or tea decreased Hgb levels. As a c…
Concurrent wasting and stunting among under‐five children in the context of Ethiopia: A generalised mixed‐effects modelling
Concurrent wasting and stunting (WaSt) is a condition where both wasting and stunting exist in a child at the same time. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of WaSt and to identify potential associated factors in Ethiopia. A total of 33,650 children aged between 0 and 59 months were included in the analysis from the four waves of the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey. A mixed-effects logistic regression model was used to identify the …
Association between water, sanitation and hygiene (Wash) and child undernutrition in Ethiopia: A hierarchical approach
The present study confirms that the quality of access to sanitation and housing conditions affects child linear growth indicators. Besides, household sources of drinking water did not predict the occurrence of either wasting or stunting. Further longitudinal and interventional studies are needed to determine whether individual and joint access to WASH facilities was strongly associated with child stunting and wasting
