Abstract

Objective : This study assessed the prevalence of under-nutrition and its associated factors among adolescent street children at Jimma town from March 1-31, 2019. Results : A community based cross sectional study was conducted among 312 street children from March 1 st to 31 st . The study found 29.2% [95% C.I: 24%- 34.0%] and 30.4% [95% C.I; 24.6% - 35.3%] prevalence of thinness and stunting respectively. Being female [AOR: 2.55, 95%C.I: 1.16- 5.63], Ever skipped one or more daily meal per day [AOR: 6.56, 95%C.I: 2.25- 19.15], Inadequate dietary diversity score [AOR: 1.86, 95%C.I: 1.05- 3.27] and using unprotected water source [AOR: 1.78, 95%C.I: 1.03- 3.05] were statistically significant factors for thinness whereas being in age group15-18 [AOR: 5.78, 95%C.I: 3.20 -10.40] and ever used substance [AOR: 3.01, 95%C.I: 1.17 -7.77] were statistically significant factors for stunting. Interventions including nutritional support, lifestyle modification and personal and environmental hygiene shall be provided to these segments of the population to alleviate the problem.
