dc.description.abstractThere are high levels of food insecurity in the Bolivian Amazon, and fishing communities have particular kinds of under nutrition and food insecurity. A primary focus of this study is the relationship between household food insecurity and childhood stunting. Variables that have been associated with stunting in other contexts are not associated with stunting in this population. Parasitic intestinal infections contribute to stunting rates in the Amazon Basin and variables found to correlate with childhood stunting included incomplete knowledge of breastfeeding and of feeding a sick child, and inadequate toilet facilities. Maternal overweight was associated with older age and some socio-economic variables.en
