Spatial distribution of animal source food consumption and associated factors among children aged 6–23 months in Ethiopia: A geographically weighted regression analysis

According to this study finding animal source food consumption among Ethiopian children aged 6-23 months is relatively low. The finding revealed the significant regional disparities of ASF consumptions. Factors associated with ASF consumption include maternal education, household size, wealth, and religion. Efforts should focus on working to increase maternal education, providing and expansion of family planning services, and increasing affordability of ASF through economic improvement of households. In addition strengthening food supply chains and integrating ASF promotion into healthcare are also essential for improving child nutrition. Interventions in low-consumption areas should address specific local needs to effectively boost ASF consumption and improve child nutrition outcomes.
