Post-conflict nutritional status of school-age children in North Wollo zone, Northeast Ethiopia: a multi-center cross-sectional study
Undernutrition is significant public health concern among school-age children in the conflict-affected study area. Stunting and thinness were significantly linked to factors such as the child's sex, age, parents' occupational status. These findings underscore the pressing need to implement health and nutrition programs aimed at enhancing the nutritional status of school-age children in the conflict-affected region.
