Child health outcomes and associated factors among under five years children in Ethiopia: a population attributable fractions analysis of Ethiopia demographic and health survey (2005-2016).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

In Ethiopia, more than half (57%) of children aged 6-59 months were estimated to be anemic in 2016 alone. The country had about 37% of under-five children suffering from stunting and under-five mortality rate of 59 deaths per 1000 live births in 2019. The main purpose of this paper was to estimate the proportion of under-five children prevented from childhood undernutrition, anemia, and under-five mortality by removing the risk factors or inequalities.

Method

This cross-sectional study was based on a pooled total sample of 29,831 children aged 0-59 months drawn from three rounds of the Ethiopian Demography and Health Surveys (2005-2016). We employed multiple logistic regression analysis to identify the modifiable risk factors associated with childhood anemia, un
