health problems in the developing world including
Ethiopia. National survey results often do not show
underlying variation of these nutritional indicators
by localities.
The main objective of this study was therefore to
assess the prevalence of child malnutrition and
identify these various causes in urban and rural
settings of Gimbi District, Western Ethiopia.

analyzed using SPSS program. NCHS reference
population standard of WHO used to convert height

to identify determinants of nutritional status and
to account for potential confounding factors.
