The prevalence and associated factors of the minimum acceptable diet among children aged 6-23 months in Ethiopia: A community-based cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A minimum acceptable diet for children aged 6-23 months is limited globally, with Ethiopia's proportion reducing to one in nine. This study was aimed to assess the prevalence of the minimum acceptable diet and associated factors among children aged 6-23 months in Dera town, Oromia, Ethiopia.

Methods

A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted. Systematic random sampling techniques were used to select the study subjects. The data was coded, entered into Epi-Info version 7, and then exported to SPSS version 24 for analysis. The variance inflation factor and tolerance test are used to check multicollinearity. Descriptive statistics of frequency (%) were used. Hosmer and Lemeshow's goodness-of-fit test at a P-value > 0.05 is considered the model fit. Bivaria
