Food profile of consumption household in the area of Mopti in February 2016.

Abstract

Diet is influenced by sociodemographic and economic characteristics. It is in this context that this study of assessment of the quality of household diet and associated factors in the Mopti region in February 2016 was conducted. This was a secondary analysis of data from the February 2016 Mali National Food Security and Nutrition Survey (ENSAN) for the Mopti region. The basic methodology was the two-stage cluster survey. Data analysis was performed on (SPSS) version 21.0. Pearson chi-square tests and logistic regression were performed with a 95% confidence level. Our study involved 148176 households at 91% rural and 99.2% residents. Heads of households (CM) were overwhelmingly men (93.5%) married (93.9%). Nearly 46% of CM men were uneducated compared to 76% of women. The dietary consumption score (SCA) of households was acceptable in 67% and a dietary diversity score (SDA) of 95.9% .The daily diet consisted of cereals, vegetables, oils and sugars. Low diversity households consumed cereals and oils. Those with medium diversity also consumed vegetables and sugar. Those with high diversity also consumed legumes, meat / offal and milk. The SCA and SDA were statistically related (p = 0.000) at the socio-economic level, place of residence, educational level, marital status, and age of head of household. The SCA was related to the status of the household and the sex of the CM. The diet was monotonous throughout the region, hence the importance of increasing the awareness of households to diversify food consumption.
