Description
A large team led by Gebrekiros Gebremichael Meles weighs how well fed mothers who nurse are in Tigray, Ethiopia, after the war. Poor food intake in mothers is a broad health risk in war zones. Mothers who nurse face still higher food needs. The recent war brought deep shocks and breaks in daily life that made poor intake worse across the area.
A home based study ran from January to February 2024 in six zones. The west zone was left out. It took in 1,245 nursing mothers with babies under six months old. Staff asked set questions in talks with each mother. The team then used a form of Poisson regression to find traits linked to poor intake. The work shows how common poor intake is after the war. It also shows which mothers face the highest risk.
