Download or read book Malnutrition in C te D Ivoire written by David E. Sahn and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to explore the causes of malnutrition, this paper estimates reduced-form nutritional status functions that include a linear combination of independent variables, which explain the household's per capita consumption expenditures. Instrumented consumption expenditures are considered a good proxy for permanent income, and the findings indicate that they are an important determinant of long-term (or chronic) malnutrition. Income, however, does not have a significant effect on current (or acute) malnutrition. Children from households that allocate a larger share of their land to producing export crops than food crops did not display more stunting or wasting. Mothers with more education will be less likely to have children who suffer from acute malnutrition, when controlling for income levels. The education of the father, however, does not confer the same positive benefits upon his children's nutritional welfare, except as mediated through higher earnings. Parental height, especially of women, has an important impact on long-term nutritional status. The characteristics of the village in which the household resides also plays an important role in determining levels of malnutrition.
