Children below five years of age  are the most vulnerable to malnutrition. The study  was conducted to identify causes of recurrence of  malnutrition among children below five years of age  in Kiroka village in Rural Morogoro, Tanzania. The  prevalence rates of stunting, underweight, wasting,  and morbidity were 43%, 13%, 3%, and 87%,  respectively. Nutritional status of children is  affected by both inadequate and quality of food,  improper feeding practices, level of education of  mother, household size, marital status and disease  infections. Generally, children were more  susceptible to malnutrition as age increased. Only  3% of infants were exclusively breastfed for six  months. About 39% of the children started  complementary feeding when they were two weeks old.  The findings are importance to nutritional  stakeholders. This book provides recommendations for  areas of effective intervention and elsewhere with  similar conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783843367394\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNutrition status of children below five years of age in Kiroka village Morogoro, Tanzania\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783843367394","offer_id":39470070726749,"sku":"9783843367394","price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/e61e2ea8-32c0-487b-84fc-a02c9f9ce34e.jpg?v=1757909502","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/factors-influencing-nutrition-and-food-insecurity-von-domina-esther-mbela","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
