Dietary diversity and nutritional status of pre-school children from musa-dependent households
In Gitega (Burundi) and Butembo (Democratic Republic of Congo)
Abstract
In sub-Saharan African countries, diets of pre-school children are predominantly based on starchy foods with little or no animal products and few fresh fruits and vegetables. A cross-sectional survey was carried out in Gitega health zone (Burundi) and Butembo health zone (Democratic Republic of Congo.DRC) with the objective of establishing dietary diversity and nutritional status of pre-school children from rural-banana dependent households.
