Diarrhea prevalence among under-five children in Mozambique is 8.8%, with significant regional disparities.
Children aged 12–23 months show higher odds of diarrhea (AOR = 1.36), while those aged 24–59 months are less affected.
Protective factors include maternal education (AOR = 0.77) and rural residence (AOR = 0.69) in reducing diarrhea risk.
Health-seeking behavior has a strong positive association with diarrhea occurrence (AOR = 4.85), necessitating targeted interventions.
