Correlates and spatial distribution of the co-occurrence of childhood anaemia and stunting in Ghana.

摘要: Childhood anaemia and stunting are major public health concerns in Ghana. Using the 2014 Ghana Demographic Health Survey, we evaluated whether childhood (Haemoglobin concentration < 110 g/L) (height-for-age z score -2) co-occur beyond what is expected Ghana, employed spatial analysis techniques to determine if their co-occurrence spatially correlated. There was no statistically significant difference between observed frequency of co-occurrence. Among 24-35 month 36-59-month-old children, belonging a high wealth household compared low associated with lower odds (OR, 95% CI: 0.3[0.1, 0.8] 0.2[0.1, 0.5], respectively). Children aged 6-23 months caregivers who had formerly been union counterparts have never higher (5.1, [1.1, 24.3]). Overall, households having mother secondary or more education were 0.4[0.2, 0.5[0.3, 0.9], substantial clustering co-occurrence, particularly northern region country. Interventions purposed improve linear growth must identify specific factors context which contribute stunting.
