The study was conducted to examine the association between the
indicators of malnutrition and disability of children as reported by
caregivers. The Ten Questions Plus questionnaire was administered to
caregivers of 1,902 children aged 1-9 years, during August 2007-March
2008, in rural Nepal. Height and weight of children were also measured.
The main outcome was a positive response to one or more questions. In
total, 514 (27%) children had a positive response to at least one
question. Moderate stunting [odds ratio (OR)=1.47, 95% confidence
interval (CI) 1.02-2.12) and severe (OR=2.39, 95% CI 1.60-3.57)
stunting were independently associated with reported delay in sitting,
standing, or walking. Severe stunting was also associated with report
of delayed learning compared to other children of similar age (OR=2.01,
95% CI 1.27-3.20). Parental report of disability was quite prevalent in
this setting, with over a quarter of the sample screening positive.
Chronic malnutrition may be associated with delayed motor and mental
development.
