2003年，肯尼亚的儿童死亡率为115/1 000，而撒哈拉以南非洲国家的平均死亡率为88/1 000。这项研究旨在确定母亲对免疫接种（n = 2 169）和营养状况（n = 5 949）对儿童健康的影响。横断面数据，肯尼亚人口健康调查（KDHS）-2003年用于数据分析。80%的儿童发育不良，49%的儿童接种了疫苗。在控制混杂因素后，总体而言，母亲仅受过小学教育的儿童获得完全免疫的可能性是母亲缺乏任何正规教育的儿童的2.17倍，P
In 2003, the child mortality rate in Kenya was 115/1000 children compared to 88/1000 average for Sub-Saharan African countries. This study sought to determine the effect of maternal education on immunization (n = 2,169) and nutritional status (n = 5,949) on child's health. Cross-sectional data, Kenya Demographic Health Survey (KDHS)-2003 were used for data analyses. 80% of children were stunted and 49% were immunized. After controlling for confounding, overall, children born to mothers with only a primary education were 2.17 times more likely to be fully immunized compared to those whose mothers lacked any formal education, P
