Overview

Randomized trial assesses diarrhoea prevalence in tribal and non-tribal children, suggesting targeted interventions are needed.

Key Points

  • The study aims to assess the prevalence of diarrhoea among children aged 0–5 years in tribal and non-tribal communities and identify risk factors.
  • Data from National Family Health Survey 5, 2019-21 was analyzed.
  • Sample size included 41,296 children from Eastern India.
  • Chi-square test and binary logistic regression were used for analysis.
  • For tribal children, higher odds of diarrhoea are linked to maternal working status (OR: 3.13, 95% CI: 1.24-7.9) and overweight mothers (OR: 11.66, 95% CI: 2.1-24.66).
  • For non-tribal children, younger mothers (OR: 0.90, 95% CI: 0.83-0.98) and undernourished mothers (OR: 1.13, 95% CI: 1.04-1.23) were significant factors.
  • Large family sizes (OR: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.78-0.92) and rich households (OR: 0.78, 95% CI: 0.68-0.90) were identified as protective factors against diarrhoea in non-tribal children.
