摘要：

Background: Malnutrition of children is a major public health problem in many African countries. Despite a relatively favourable geographical situation, the prevalence of malnutrition is high in the Sikasso region (Mali). Methods: Survey repeated annually during 5 years, to a sample of 491 families living in Sikasso. The determinants of wasting and stunting were analysed using logistic regression. Results: The prevalence of stunting was about 25%. Prevalence of wasting was about 12%, which is very high, and had been increasing in the past years. No strong associations with socio-economic factors were observed for wasting. Stunting was strongly associated with the education level of both parents, and with the family assets.
