摘要

背景:未成年母亲和儿童营养不良是非洲面临的重大挑战,但有关未成年母亲对其子女健康和营养影响的数据却很有限。本研究评估了曼古地方政府辖区(LGA)的婴儿喂养方式、青春期母亲的发生率以及婴儿营养不良的情况。研究方法采用多阶段抽样法进行横断面调查。使用经过验证的问卷收集社会人口数据,并使用适当的工具进行人体测量。数据与既定标准进行了比较。数据分析采用了描述性统计工具、卡方检验、皮尔逊相关检验和独立样本 t 检验,显著性以 p < 0.05 为标准。结果共有 200 名母亲完成了研究。大多数婴儿(78.5%)不足 6 个月大,21.5% 为 6-12 个月大。39%的母亲在 1 小时内开始母乳喂养,38%的母亲采用乳前喂养。只有 28.5%的母亲采用纯母乳喂养,所有母亲都用母乳喂养婴儿。未成年母亲的比例为 37.5%。婴儿发育迟缓、消瘦和体重不足的发生率分别为 29.5%、12% 和 8.5%。与 19 岁以上母亲的子女相比,青春期母亲的子女严重发育迟缓的比例更高。青春期母亲的子女与 19 岁以上母亲的子女在发育迟缓率和年龄体重指数方面存在明显差异(p = 0.017 和 p = 0.029)。结论在高原州曼古地方行政区,未成年母亲导致儿童长期营养不良,婴儿营养不良的发生率很高。

Infant Feeding Practices, Prevalence of Adolescent Motherhood and Malnutrition among Infants in Mangu Local Government Area, Plateau State, Nigeria.

Background: Adolescent motherhood and malnutrition among children are significant challenges in Africa, but there is limited data on the impact of adolescent motherhood on their children's health and nutrition. This study assessed infant feeding practices, prevalence of adolescent motherhood, and malnutrition among infants in Mangu local government area (LGA). Methodology: A cross-sectional survey using multistage sampling was conducted. Validated questionnaires were used to collect socio-demographic data, and appropriate tools were used for anthropometric measurements. Data were compared with established standards. Descriptive statistical tools, chi square, Pearson correlation, and independent sample t-test were used for data analysis, with significance set at p < 0.05. Results: A total of 200 mothers completed the study. The majority of the infants (78.5%) were less than 6 months old, and 21.5% were 6-12 months old. Breastfeeding initiation within 1 hour was reported by 39% of mothers, while 38% practiced prelacteal feeding. Only 28.5% practiced exclusive breastfeeding, and all mothers breastfed their babies. The prevalence of adolescent motherhood was 37.5%. The prevalence of stunting, wasting, and underweight among infants were 29.5%, 12%, and 8.5%, respectively. Children of adolescent mothers had higher rates of severe stunting compared to children of mothers above 19 years of age. There were significant differences (p = 0.017 and p = 0.029) in stunting rates and weight-for-age indices between children of adolescent mothers and mothers above 19 years of age. Conclusion: Adolescent motherhood contributes to chronic malnutrition in children, and there is a high prevalence of malnutrition among infants in Mangu LGA, Plateau State.
