Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Chronic malnutrition continues to affect 38% of children under five years old in Mozambique, according to the latest survey by the National Statistics Institute (INE), consulted on Tuesday by Lusa.<\/p>\n

The supplement on nutrition of the 2019\/20 Household Budget Survey also reveals that in 16.5 percent of cases, malnutrition is very severe.<\/p>\n

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children\u2019s Fund (UNICEF), cited in the document, the levels observed are classified as \u201cvery high\u201d.<\/p>\n

Chronic malnutrition results from a lack of adequate food, retards children\u2019s growth and development and increases the risk of child mortality \u2013 broadly speaking, it is a marker of inequalities in human development.<\/p>\n

The situation was worse in 2011 and 2013, the document notes.<\/p>\n

There was a nearly halving of prevalence in children under six months old and there was also a drop in chronic malnutrition in the south of the country.<\/p>\n

Still, the scenario motivates several warnings.<\/p>\n

The survey indicates that chronic malnutrition occurs at \u201cvery high\u201d levels in children over 12 months of age and affects \u201cmale children\u201d more.<\/p>\n

Children living in rural areas suffer more from chronic malnutrition, at \u201cvery high\u201d levels compared to those living in urban areas, at levels classified as \u201cmedium\u201d.<\/p>\n

Children living in households whose leaders have no or only primary schooling are more affected by chronic malnutrition.<\/p>\n

The distribution per province shows differences: all provinces in the central and northern zone show prevalences at \u201cvery high\u201d levels, with Nampula province having the most severe situation.<\/p>\n

The southern provinces have prevalences ranging from \u2018medium\u2019 to \u2018low\u2019 levels in Maputo province.<\/p>\n

The nutrition supplement of the 2019\/20 Household Budget Survey was based on a sample of 13,343 households.<\/p>\n
