A randomized cross-sectional nutritional assessment was completed in collaboration with the Ministry of Health (MOH) in children ages 6 to 60 months in a rural Honduran community. The prevalence of stunting, underweight, and wasting and risk factors associated with malnutrition were determined. Data were obtained from 290 children at the household level. Results of the study identified economic and household characteristics that can serve as indicators for risk of malnutrition in this region to help the MOH target poor communities for direct interventions and prioritize resources to households that may receive the most benefit.
