Magnitude, trends, transitions, and drivers of the double burden of malnutrition among adolescent girls in urban slums, Kenya
Findings from a longitudinal study (2017–2019)
Bibliographic Data
The prevalence of overweight/obesity, as well as transitions to overweight/obesity were higher compared to undernutrition (stunting and thinness). Double-duty and multi-sectoral interventions that consider demographic (family, ethnicity), environmental (neighbourhood, school), and psychosocial (ACE, depression score) factors that may drive DBM in adolescent girls living in urban slums are recommended, to address DBM and reverse the growing trend in overweight/obesity. Integration of social protection, mental health, and nutrition interventions is important to address DBM in urban slums and similar contexts
