Abstract

The current study aimed to find the risk factors of wasting in flood-affected areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Sociodemographic and anthropometric data was collected. Children living in large family are 2.59 times more likely to be wasted (AOR = 2.59, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.10, 6.10; p value = .029) and children living in medium size family are 2.23 times more likely to be wasted (AOR = 2.23, 95% CI: 1.03, 4.80; p value = .04) as compared to children in small family size. The study underscores the need for targeted interventions to address the identified risk factors and mitigate the impact of flooding on child nutrition.

巴基斯坦洪水灾区消瘦型营养不良的风险因素：一项横断面研究

本研究旨在发现巴基斯坦开伯尔巴图克瓦省受洪水影响地区的消瘦风险因素。研究收集了社会人口学和人体测量学数据。与小家庭儿童相比，生活在大家庭中的儿童消瘦的可能性要高出 2.59 倍（AOR = 2.59，95% 置信区间 (CI)：1.10, 6.10；P 值 = .029），生活在中等规模家庭中的儿童消瘦的可能性要高出 2.23 倍（AOR = 2.23，95% 置信区间 (CI)：1.03, 4.80；P 值 = .04）。这项研究强调，有必要采取有针对性的干预措施，以解决已确定的风险因素并减轻洪水对儿童营养的影响。

期刊介绍： Ecology of Food and Nutrition is an international journal of food and nutrition in the broadest sense. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of food and nutrition -- ecological, biological, and cultural. Ecology of Food and Nutrition strives to become a forum for disseminating scholarly information on the holistic and cross-cultural dimensions of the study of food and nutrition. It emphasizes foods and food systems not only in terms of their utilization to satisfy human nutritional needs and health, but also to promote and contest social and cultural identity. The content scope is thus wide -- articles may focus on the relationship between food and nutrition, food taboos and preferences, ecology and political economy of food, the evolution of human nutrition, changes in food habits, food technology and marketing, food and identity, and food sustainability. Additionally, articles focusing on the application of theories and methods to address contemporary food and nutrition problems are encouraged. Questions of the relationship between food/nutrition and culture are as germane to the journal as analyses of the interactions among nutrition and environment, infection and human health.
