Links between household food consumption and nutritional status of children aged 6–59 months: a case study in Burkina Faso
Findings indicate that malnutrition is associated with high household food expenditure; medium dietary diversity; a medium/high demographic dependency ratio; the absence of toilets; and food reserves that cover less than 6 months. These findings highlight the need to strengthen food security by fostering household economic development and to ensure optimal access to improved sanitation.
