Abstract

The objective was to assess trends in children’s nutritional status in Equatorial Guinea, a country in socioeconomic transition. Nationally representative samples were conducted in 1997, at the start of the economic take off, and again in 2004.

Scope

Notes

The survey collected information on:

SUBJECTS: information on the participants such as age, sex and geographical location.
CONSUMPTION: information on all foods consumed by each participant in each survey day, including quantities and nutrient values.
The population group covered in the dataset was children under 5 years old.

Sampling

Sampling Procedure

Sampling was carried out by multistaged, stratified-cluster survey. The strata were island and continental regions and rural and urban settings. The primary sampling units were the villages in rural areas and the neighborhoods in urban settings. They were selected randomly in proportion to size according to the II Population and Households Census 1994. The secondary sampling units were randomly selected households from an updated census from each cluster. The third sampling units were the children. Only one child under five years of age per household was selected randomly, from a list of all children under five years of age residing at home, resulting in a non-self-weighted sample. The initial sample size was increased to allow for missing data, but replacements were not made at any of the sampling stages (i.e., if there were no children < 5 y in the selected household, or the selected child was not available for measurement at the time of the survey, the household was computed as missing, and no substitutes were made.)

Weighting

Sampling weights were calculated as follows:
Weighting factor=1/prob cluster + prob household prob child
Prob cluster island=(number of clusterscluster population)/total population island
Prob cluster mainland=(number of clusters*cluster population)/total population mainland
Prob household=number of selected households/total number of households in the cluster
Prob child= number of selected children/total number of children in the household
