Résumé :

Poor childhood diet and malnutrition are global issues, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Adequate nutrition during the early years of life is crucial for optimal child growth. Household dynamics influence children's well-being, with single-parent households facing unique challenges that can affect dietary intake and growth. In Rwanda, stunting and being underweight are still prevalent, and the role of household structure has not been studied. This study assessed the relationship of single parent in comparison to dual parent households with children's dietary intake and growth together with the mediating role of wealth in these relationships.
