Abstract

This study identifies multiple pathways connecting household water insecurity with child nutrition. Using nationally representative samples for 18 countries, we examine the mediating role of child's dietary diversity as a function of household water status, while also accounting for sanitation. We construct a latent household water insecurity score (HWI) and use Structural Equation approach to model underlying pathways. HWI affected child's HAZ score and hemoglobin both directly and indirectly, with a mediation from child feeding alongside effects from sanitation. Broadening the conception of household water insecurity and accommodating the indirect effects of water could improve explanations of child under-nutrition.

超越 "讲卫生运动"：在多国背景下测试家庭用水不安全与儿童营养结果之间的其他联系》（Byond WASH: Testing Additional Connections Between Household Water Insecurity and Child Nutrition Outcomes in Multi-Country Contexts）。

本研究确定了家庭用水不安全与儿童营养之间的多种联系途径。我们利用 18 个国家具有全国代表性的样本，研究了儿童饮食多样性作为家庭用水状况函数的中介作用，同时还考虑了卫生条件。我们构建了一个潜在的家庭用水不安全评分（HWI），并使用结构方程法建立了相关路径模型。家庭用水不安全指数直接或间接地影响了儿童的 HAZ 分数和血红蛋白，儿童喂养与卫生条件的影响同时起着中介作用。拓宽家庭用水不安全的概念并考虑用水的间接影响，可以更好地解释儿童营养不良问题。

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.
