Key Points

  • This research investigates the prevalence and associated factors of double burden of malnutrition among mother-child pairs in Burkina Faso.
  • Analysis of household-level nutrition data
  • Assessment of mother and child health indicators
  • Examination of socio-economic status and urbanization effects
  • Double burden of malnutrition primarily observed as overweight mothers with stunted children
  • Association identified with urban residency and higher socio-economic status
  • Urgent strategies recommended to address this growing issue

Abstract

The finding suggests that household-level DBM is an emerging problem in Burkina Faso. The most prevalent form of DBM includes an overweight mother with a stunted child, and common associated factors include urban residence and high socio-economic status. Urgent strategies and actions need to be put in place in order to avert this trend.
