Undernutrition is cellular imbalance between supply of nutrients, energy and body's demand to ensure growth, maintenance, and specific function. However, there was no study conducted earlier on this topic in East Borena Zone.
To assess the prevalence of undernutrition and associated factors among pregnant women in East Borena Zone, Liban District.
A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 420 study participants from November 20 to December 2021. The systematic sampling technique and simple random sampling methods were used to select study participants. Data were double entered into Epi-info software version 7 and SPSS version 21 software for analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the characteristics of study participants. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regressions were carried out to identify the association between independent and dependent variables by measuring the adjusted odds ratio and 95% confidence interval. P-values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Prevalence of undernutrition among pregnant women was about (44.9%) of family monthly income [AOR = 8.72 (4.80, 15.83)], women's decision-making autonomy [AOR = 0.40 (0.19, 0.82)], skipping meal [AOR = 2.62 (1.41, 4.89)], substance use [AOR = 2.01 (1.07, 3.77)], household food insecurity [AOR = 2.01 (1.06, 3.80)], lack of prenatal dietary advice [AOR = 2.73 (1.53, 4.89)], absence of household latrine [AOR = 9.23 (3.48, 24.46)], not participating health development army's meeting at village level [AOR = 3.01 (1.57, 5.72)] and hand washing habit [AOR = 6.55 (3.02, 14.20)] had shown statistically significant association with undernutrition.
The prevalence of undernutrition among pregnant women was high income. Women's decision-making autonomy, skipping meals, substances use, household food insecurity, lack of prenatal dietary advice, poor hand washing habit, lack household of latrine, and not participation in health development army's meeting were found to be predictors of the undernutrition.
营养不良是营养素、能量供应与身体确保生长、维持及特定功能需求之间的细胞失衡。然而，此前在东博雷纳地区尚未有关于该主题的研究。
评估利班区东博雷纳地区孕妇营养不良的患病率及相关因素。
于2021年11月20日至12月对420名研究参与者开展了一项基于社区的横断面研究。采用系统抽样技术和简单随机抽样方法选取研究参与者。数据双录入Epi-info 7软件版本和SPSS 21软件版本进行分析。描述性统计用于描述研究参与者的特征。通过测量调整后的比值比和95%置信区间，进行二元和多变量逻辑回归以确定自变量和因变量之间的关联。P值小于0.05被认为具有统计学意义。
孕妇营养不良的患病率约为（44.9%）家庭月收入[AOR = 8.72（4.80，15.83）]、女性决策自主权[AOR = 0.40（0.19，0.82）]、不规律饮食[AOR = 2.62（1.41，4.89）]、物质使用[AOR = 2.01（1.07，3.77）]、家庭粮食不安全[AOR = 2.01（1.06，3.80）]、缺乏产前饮食建议[AOR = 2.73（1.53，4.89）]、没有家庭厕所[AOR = 9.23（3.48，24.46）]、未参加村级健康发展军会议[AOR = 3.01（1.57，5.72）]以及洗手习惯[AOR = 6.55（3.02，14.20）]与营养不良存在统计学显著关联。
孕妇营养不良患病率较高。女性决策自主权、不规律饮食、物质使用、家庭粮食不安全、缺乏产前饮食建议、不良洗手习惯、没有家庭厕所以及未参加健康发展军会议被发现是营养不良的预测因素。
