Abstract

 Background: Despite improvements in CHILD health, malnutrition still remains one of the main public health challenges in IRAN.Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare UNDER NUTRITION among under-five CHILDren with regard to ETHNICITY in rural area in north IRAN.Patients and Methods: In three cross-sectional studies 7575 subjects in three time-periods including 2339 CHILDren in 1998, 2749 in 2004, and 2487 in 2013, were evaluated. All under-five-CHILDren in 20 out of 118 villages were chosen by random sampling and assessed. UNDER NUTRITION was defined as underweight, stunting and wasting lower than -2 SD (Z<-2 SD).Results: Generally, stunting was declined 17.1% and underweight and wasting were increased 0.9% and 1%, respectively during 15 years (1998 - 2013). Underweight increased 0.5% in Fars-natives and 3.2% in Turkmans and it was decreased 0.9% in Sistanis. Statistical difference in Turkman CHILDren among the three stages of the study was significant (P=0.001). Stunting has decreased 28.7% in Fars-natives and 35.1% in Sistanis, it was increased 9.3% in Turkman group. Statistical differences among three stages in inter-ethnic groups were significant (P=0.001 for all). Compared the group with good economic status, the odds ratio was 1.831 in poor economic group (P=0.001). The risk of UNDER NUTRITION in Sistanis was 1.754 times more than in Fars-natives (P=0.001).Conclusions: UNDER NUTRITION remains one of the main health problems in under-five-year CHILDren in north IRAN being more common in Sistani CHILDren. Stunting in Sistani CHILDren deeply decreased while in Turkman CHILDren slightly increased during the 15-year period study. Poor economic status is a risk factor for UNDER NUTRITION in this area.
