Severe acute malnutrition and associated factors among children under-five years: A community based-cross sectional study in Ethiopia

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Large family size, child age, diarrheal and household insecurity were important determinants of SAM among children. Therefore, aligning social protection programmes and improving health related interventions along with improving optimal breastfeeding, prevention and control of child morbidity, and strengthening family planning services are recommended to reduce child SAM.
