Modelling the interrelationships between potential risk factors and childhood Co-morbidity of Malaria, Anaemia, and stunting in children less than five years in Burundi

The findings from this study revealed an association between malaria, anaemia, and stunting, which imply that these conditions could contribute to collaborative improvements in child well-being. In addition, child demographic, household, environmental, and geographic factors were direct and indirect important drivers of childhood malaria, anaemia, and stunting. Therefore, improving sanitation, access to clean water, nutrition practices, and health care, especially for children from rural areas, and uneducated mothers with poor backgrounds could help to control and eliminate stunting, anemia, and malaria in children younger than five years in Burundi.
