Nutrition status and associated factors among children in public primary schools in Dagoretti Nairobi Kenya

摘要

BackgroundMalnutrition among school-age children is due to inadequacies in one or more of the three main preconditions for good nutrition: food, care and health. Children stunted at school age are likely to have been exposed to poor nutrition since early childhood. Interventions for school age children can supplement efforts to reduce levels of stunting in the preschool years.
