摘要

背景:目前,食品价格上涨是孟加拉国和世界其他国家普遍存在的问题。营养不良是儿童中常见的问题,会对他们的发育和整体健康造成长期影响。有很多研究都是为了确定造成儿童营养不良的因素,但通货膨胀很少被认为是造成儿童营养不良的一个因素。我们旨在确定食品价格上涨与孟加拉国五岁以下儿童发育迟缓(年龄身高 Z 值(HAZ))之间的关系:研究利用了世界粮食计划署数据库中的食品价格数据和2014年和2017-18年孟加拉国人口健康调查(BDHS)中的营养不良(发育迟缓)信息。这包括 2009 年至 2018 年的整个研究期间。食品价格通过每个儿童的出生月份与 BDHS 数据集进行了链接。记录每个儿童出生前 9 个月至出生后 5 个月的平均食品价格(包括其出生月份),以计算逐月通货膨胀率。计算大米(粗米)、油、小麦粉和小扁豆的通胀率的方法是,比较每种食品从一个月到前一个月的价格总和,然后除以前一个月的总价格。采用广义线性回归模型评估食品价格上涨与发育迟缓之间的关系,以发育迟缓为因变量。其他解释变量包括财富指数、儿童性别、身高、体重、母亲受教育程度、受访者目前是否怀孕以及母乳喂养状况:我们的研究表明,食品价格上涨对发育迟缓有显著的负面影响,系数为-0.127(p):总之,本研究的结果强调了食品价格上涨对儿童发育迟缓的重大负面影响,并强调有必要将这一因素与其他因素一并考虑。这些结果突出表明,在努力消除儿童营养不良现象的过程中,解决食品价格上涨问题作为发育迟缓的一个关键决定因素,与其他各种因素一起发挥着至关重要的作用。

Impact of food price inflation on stunting in under five aged children in Bangladesh.

Background: Currently, food price inflation is a widespread issue in Bangladesh as well as the rest of the world. Malnutrition is a common issue among children that can have long-lasting effects on their development and overall health. There have been lots of studies conducted to identify the factors responsible for child malnutrition, but inflation is rarely considered a factor in child malnutrition. We aimed to determine the relationship between food price inflation and stunting (Height-for-Age Z-score (HAZ)) in children under five years of age in Bangladesh.

Method: The study utilized food price data from the World Food Programme database and malnutrition (stunting) information from the 2014 and 2017-18 Bangladesh Demographic Health Surveys (BDHS). This includes the total study period from 2009 to 2018. Food prices were linked to the BDHS dataset using each child's birth month. For each child, the average food prices from 9 months prior to 5 months post-birth, including their birth month, were recorded to calculate month-to-month inflation. This inflation was computed for rice (coarse), oil, wheat flour, and lentils by comparing the price sum of each item from one month to the previous month and dividing by the total price of the preceding month. A generalized linear regression model was used to assess the relationship between food price inflation and stunting, with stunting as the dependent variable. Other explanatory variables included wealth index, sex of the child, height, weight, mother's education, respondent's current pregnancy, and breastfeeding status.

Results: Our study has revealed that food price inflation has a significant negative effect on stunting, with a coefficient of -0.127 (p < 0.001). Furthermore, we have identified several other factors that have also significantly negative associations with stunting, including the wealth index (p < 0.001), mother's education level (p < 0.001), mother's pregnancy status (p < 0.001), breastfeeding (p < 0.001), child's age (p < 0.001). child's weight (p < 0.001) has significantly positive effect on stunting. However, we did not find any significant differences in stunting between boys and girls.

Conclusion: In conclusion, the findings of this study underscore the significant negative impact of food price inflation on child stunting, emphasizing the need to acknowledge this factor alongside others. These results highlight the critical role of addressing food price inflation as a key determinant of stunting, in conjunction with various other contributing factors, in efforts to combat childhood malnutrition.
