Stunting is one of the most commonly used indicators of child nutrition and health status. Despite significant efforts by the government and external development partners to improve maternal and child health and nutrition, stunting is consistently high in Nepal. This paper assesses the potential determinants of stunting among children aged 0–59 months using the last three successive Nepal Demographic and Health Surveys (NDHS). We used three nationally representative cross-sectional household surveys, known as the NDHS- 2006, 2011 and 2016. Logistic regression was used to identify the potential determinants of stunting. The sub sample for this study includes n = 5083 in 2006, n = 2485 in 2011, and n = 2421 in 2016. Rates of stunting decreased from nearly 50% in 2006 to about 36% in 2016. The prevalence of stunting was higher among children from larger families (51.0% in 2006, 41.1% in 2011, 38.7% in 2016), poor wealth quintile households (61.2% in 2006, 56.0% in 2011, 49.2% in 2016), and severely food insecure households (49.0% in 2011, 46.5% in 2016). For child stunting, the common determinants in all three surveys included: being from the highest equity quintile (OR: 0.58 in 2006, 0.26 in 2011, 0.28 in 2016), being older (OR: 2.24 in 2006, 2.58 in 2011, 1.58 in 2016), being below average size at time of birth (OR: 1.64 in 2006, 1.55 in 2011, 1.60 in 2016), and being affected by anemia (OR: 1.32 in 2006, 1.59 in 2011, 1.40 in 2016). This study found that household wealth status, age of child, size of child at time of birth, and child anemia comprised the common determinants of stunting in all three surveys in Nepal. Study findings underscore the need for effective implementation of evidence-based nutrition interventions in health and non-health sectors to reduce the high rates of child stunting in Nepal.

尼泊尔 0-59 个月儿童发育迟缓的决定因素:2006 年、2011 年和 2016 年尼泊尔人口与健康调查的结果

发育迟缓是儿童营养和健康状况最常用的指标之一。尽管政府和外部发展伙伴为改善母婴健康和营养做出了巨大努力,但尼泊尔的发育迟缓率一直很高。本文使用最近三个连续的尼泊尔人口与健康调查 (NDHS) 评估了 0-59 个月儿童发育迟缓的潜在决定因素。我们使用了三个具有全国代表性的横断面家庭调查,即 NDHS-2006、2011 和 2016。逻辑回归用于确定发育迟缓的潜在决定因素。本研究的子样本包括 2006 年 n = 5083、2011 年 n = 2485 和 2016 年 n = 2421。发育迟缓率从 2006 年的近 50% 下降到 2016 年的约 36%。来自大家庭(2006 年 51.0%、2011 年 41.1%、2016 年 38.7%)、贫困五分之一家庭(2006 年 61.2%、2011 年 56.0%、2016 年 49.2%)和严重粮食不安全家庭(2011 年为 49.0%,2016 年为 46.5%)。对于儿童发育迟缓,所有三项调查的共同决定因素包括:来自最高公平的五分之一(OR:2006 年 0.58、2011 年 0.26、2016 年 0.28)、年龄较大(OR:2006 年 2.24、2011 年 2.58、1.58 2016 年),出生时体重低于平均水平(OR:2006 年 1.64,2011 年 1.55,2016 年 1.60),并受到贫血的影响(OR:2006 年 1.32,2011 年 1.59,2016 年 1.40)。这项研究发现,在尼泊尔的所有三项调查中,家庭财富状况、孩子年龄、孩子出生时的大小和儿童贫血是发育迟缓的共同决定因素。
