| dc.description | For children under 3 years the prevalence of underweight was 15.5% in 1994. 21.4% of the children were stunted and 5.5% wasted (Table 4a). Children living in rural areas seemed to have a greater risk for underweight and stunting then their urban counterparts. The prevalence of underweight ranged from 7.1% in Bulawayo to 24% in Matabeleland North (Map 2). The prevalence of wasting ranged from 1.9% in Mashonaland East to 9.8% in Matabeleland North (Map 4). Matabeleland North, known to be dry and d rought prone also exhibited the highest prevalence of stunting (28.5%). The distributions of underweight, wasting and stunting almost coincide with the exception of the provinces Mashonaland Central and Matabeleland South, which show a greater risk for stunting than for wasting and underweight (Map 3). | |
