| description | Background and objectives: Inadequate nutrition during the first two years of life has tremendous consequences on the health and growth of children. Understanding the magnitude and determinants of nutritional status can help to avert this problem. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and potential causes of undernutrition in children aged 6 - 24 months in poor rural regions of Mali. Methods: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted in villages in Sikasso and Mopti regions from January to March 2016. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data and characteristics of 959 boys, 856 girls, and their mothers, living in 1764 households. Anthropometric measurements such as weight, height, and mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) were performed using standardized methods. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify factors associated with nutritional status of the children. Results: The prevalence of underweight, stunting and wasting was 23.9%, 28.4% and 13.9% respectively. MUAC also indicated that 16.5% of children were undernourished. Chronic malnutrition was significantly associated with the presence of diarrhea in the past two weeks (p |

Chronic malnutrition was significantly associated with the presence of diarrhea in the past two weeks (p<0.001), higher child age (p<0.001), male sex (p<0.001), households with lowest household amenity score (p<0.002) or fewest dietary diversity score (p<001). Likewise, acute malnutrition was associated with preterm birth (p<0.03), lower child age (0.001), high number of siblings (p<0.03) and living in a household with higher months of inadequate food provisioning (p<0.03). These factors should be considered for any intervention aiming to reduce undernutrition among children in this age group living in Sikasso and Mopti in Mali. Conclusions: Future efforts should be directed at examining how families in very poor and food-insecure areas can be empowered to feed their children a more diverse diet. These interventions must increase the availability and sustainability of household food provisioning as well as take into account potential illnesses.]]></description><identifier>ISSN: 0250-6807</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1421-9697</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1159/000480486</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Basel: S.
