Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the differential patterns of mean duration of breastfeeding among mothers from slum areas in Rajshahi City, Bangladesh by using the multiple classification analysis (MCA). Materials and Methods: The data for this study was collected from mothers from slum areas of 8 different slums of Rajshahi City Corporation who had had at least one child at the time of interview. Results: We showed that the overall mean duration of breastfeeding was 24.66 months for all women, which may show considerable impact on fertility around slum areas in near future. Conclusion: Of all the selected variables in MCA, it was seen that the current age of the children and the body mass index of the respondents appear as the strongest important determinants of duration of breastfeeding and other variables play relatively less important role on the duration of breastfeeding. KEY WORDS: Breastfeeding, Slum mothers, Body mass index (BMI) and Multiple Classification Analysis (MCA).
摘要简介：本研究的目的是通过多元分类分析（MCA）确定孟加拉国拉杰沙希市贫民窟母亲平均母乳喂养时间的差异模式。材料和方法：本研究的数据收集自Rajshahi City Corporation 8个不同贫民窟的母亲，她们在接受采访时至少有一个孩子。结果：我们发现，所有妇女的总体平均母乳喂养时间为24.66个月，这可能在不久的将来对贫民窟地区的生育率产生相当大的影响。结论：在MCA的所有选定变量中，可以看出，儿童的当前年龄和受访者的体重指数似乎是母乳喂养持续时间的最重要决定因素，而其他变量对母乳喂养持续期的影响相对较小。关键词：母乳喂养，贫民窟的母亲，体重指数（BMI）和多分类分析（MCA）。
