This reseach was initiated to study the eating habits of househods living in a context of malnutrition in the Miti-Murhesa heath zone, with the aim of contributing to the improvement of eating habits. To achieve this, three Heath areas were chosen. The households are those with at least one member suffering from severe acute malnutrition was being treated in a severe acute malnutrition management program (are cases), their direct neighbors without a story of malnutrition were selected as controls. A survey questionnaire was admimistered to mothers (preferably). The results show that illiterale fathers are numerous among the cases, 47 compared 22 among the controls. The control households have more properly than the cases (p=0,00154) and are also the control households which have a higher monthly income than the cases (p=0,00191). Most foods were consumed more in the control group than in the cases and frequency of meals was also lower for cases than their controls.

Abstract: (french)
La présente recherche a été initiée pour étudier les habitudes alimentaires des ménages vivants dans un contexte de malnutrition dans la zone de santé de Miti- Murhesa, avec pour objectif de contribuer à l’amélioration des habitudes alimentaires. Pour y arriver, trois aires de santé ont été choisies. Les ménages concernés sont ceux ayant au moins un membre en malnutrition sévère qui était encours de traitement dans un programme de prise en charge de la malnutrition aiguë sévère (sont les cas), leurs voisins directs sans antécédents de malnutrition ont été retenus comme témoins. Un questionnaire d’enquête a été administré aux mères (de préférence). Les résultats montrent que les pères analphabètes sont plus nombreux chez les cas, 47 contrent 22 chez les témoins. Les ménages témoins disposent plus de bien que les cas (P=0,00154) et sont également les ménages témoins qui ont un revenu mensuel supérieur à celui des cas (P=0,00191). La plupart d’aliments ont été plus consommés dans le groupe témoin que chez les cas et la fréquence des repas était également inférieure pour les cas que leurs témoins. Il existe ainsi une association positive entre le niveau socioéconomique des ménages et la consommation alimentaire.
