Indices reflecting the double burden of malnutrition in sub-Saharan Africa are increasing.
Evidence to support this claim in households of Africa’s most populous country—Nigeria—is scant.
This study, therefore, presents results from a study of mother-child pairs sampled from Akwa Ibom State in the southern region of Nigeria.
Anthropometric measures for 660 mother-child pairs were collected according to standard procedures.
Indices were expressed as the standard deviation of units from the median for the reference group.
Chi-square analysis was used to test significant differences in proportion, and p<0.05 was taken as significant.
A total of 37.4% of the children were stunted out of which 19.8% were moderately stunted, and 17.6% were severely stunted.
Prevalence of wasting was 13.1%, 6.2% were moderately wasted, and 6.9% were severely wasted.
Mean maternal body mass index was (23.54 ± 4.60) kgm2.
9.0% were underweight mothers, 23.2% were overweight, and 9.3% were obese.
The co-existence of undernutrition among children and overnutrition in women of child-bearing age is prevalent in this population.
We recommend that more effort be placed on active nutrition surveillance to ascertain malnutrition prevalence and periodically reassess priority challenges.
