BACKGROUND
Malnutrition of children is a major public health problem in many African countries. Despite a relatively favourable geographical situation, the prevalence of malnutrition is high in the Sikasso region (Mali).
METHODS
Survey repeated annually during 5 years, to a sample of 491 families living in Sikasso. The determinants of wasting and stunting were analysed using logistic regression.
RESULTS
The prevalence of stunting was about 25%. Prevalence of wasting was about 12%, which is very high, and had been increasing in the past years. No strong associations with socio-economic factors were observed for wasting. Stunting was strongly associated with the education level of both parents, and with the family assets.
背景
儿童营养不良是许多非洲国家的一个主要公共卫生问题。尽管锡卡索地区（马里）地理位置相对优越，但营养不良的患病率却很高。
方法
对居住在锡卡索的491个家庭样本进行了为期5年的年度调查。使用逻辑回归分析消瘦和发育迟缓的决定因素。
结果
发育迟缓的患病率约为25%。消瘦的患病率约为12%，这一比例非常高，且在过去几年中一直在上升。未观察到消瘦与社会经济因素有强烈关联。发育迟缓与父母双方的教育水平以及家庭资产密切相关。
