Overview

Matched case-control study identifies maternal knowledge and food intake as key predictors of malnutrition in toddlers, suggesting targeted nutrition-sensitive interventions.

Key Points

  • Low household income is a major contributor to toddler malnutrition, as shown by an adjusted odds ratio of 10.23.
  • Insufficient food intake dramatically increases the risk of malnutrition among toddlers, reflecting a need for food security interventions.
  • The study highlights the necessity for community-based health initiatives to improve maternal knowledge and nutrition resources.
