| Abstract | Stunting and wasting are still very important in Moroccan children. School age children are scarcely studied. Environment of residency may have an impact on children growth. The aim of this study is to determine prevalence of stunting and wasting in a sample of 263 school children enrolled in the sixth grade. Anthropometric measurements are done by a medical team, whereas socioeconomic data were collected by a survey team. Globally stunting and wasting are still high. Rural children are more stunted but less wasted. Parent education and especially the mother one is greater in urban area as so is the household income. Rural families are still large though Morocco is undergoing a demographic transition. |
