Maternal factors promoting normal linear growth of children from impoverished Rwandan households: a cross-sectional study
Maternal factors such as maternal income-generating activity, maternal participation in household decision making, and increased number of ANC visits were found to promote normal child linear growth. These results contribute valuable information to the formulation of interventions and policies to improve child nutrition and growth in the community studied.
