Abstract The impact of short-term environmental changes on child nutritional status is not constant within populations. In many countries, the seasons are closely linked with many factors that are known to affect nutritional outcomes, such as food consumption, crop harvests, employment opportunities and illness. With extreme seasonal variation becoming more common, understanding how seasonality is related to child nutritional outcomes is vital. This study will explore spatial and temporal variation and determinants for acute malnutrition in a coastal river delta in south-west Bangladesh over the period of a year. Using a rural longitudinal survey, conducted in 2014–15 with 3 survey waves, wasting amongst children under 5 was studied. Spatial variation was analysed through ‘socio-ecological systems’, which capture interactions between ecosystems, livelihoods and populations. Wasting prevalence varied from 18.2% in the monsoon season to 8.7% post-major rice harvest (Aman). Seasons did not relate to wasting consistently over socio-ecological systems, with some systems showing greater variability over time, highlighting distinct seasonal dynamics in nutritional status. Wealthier socio-ecological systems had lower wasting generally, as expected, with greater livelihood diversification opportunities and strategies to smooth consumption. Nutrition interventions must consider seasonal peaks in acute malnutrition, as well as the environmental context when implementing programmes to maximise effectiveness. With increasing variability in seasonal changes, inequalities in the impact of season must be accounted for in health promotion activities. Furthermore, timing and season of survey implementation is an important factor to be accounted for in nutrition research, especially when comparing between two cross-sectional surveys.

Care provision is a key component of women's time use with implications for the health and wellbeing of children. Shifting labor demands resulting from weather shocks may imply that women in developing countries have less time for care provision, potentially affecting their children's nutrition. Nonetheless, a broad literature focusing on the indirect impacts of climate change on child nutrition has yet to explore the mechanisms whereby this occurs, and whether mothers' time use is one of these mechanisms. Using the Uganda National Panel Survey, a unique data set that gathers data on farming activities, time use, and anthropometric measures, I analyze how rainfall variability affects mother's time use and whether time use is a mechanism whereby rainfall variability affects child nutrition in the short run (measured as weight-for-age and weight-for-height Z-scores). My results show that increased rainfall variability in the last month decreases mothers' time share in other household-related activities (e.g., fetching water), while it increases the probability of child wasting. Moreover, using mediation analysis, I find that none of the mothers' time-use variables appears to be a mediating factor between rainfall variability and child nutrition. These results suggest that mothers adjust their time use due to rainfall variability without jeopardizing their children's nutritional levels.
提供照料是妇女利用时间的一个关键组成部分,对儿童的健康和福祉具有影响。天气冲击导致的劳动力需求转移可能意味着发展中国家妇女用于提供照料的时间减少,从而可能影响其子女的营养。然而,关于气候变化对儿童营养的间接影响的大量文献还没有探讨发生这种情况的机制,以及母亲的时间利用是否是这些机制之一。乌干达全国小组调查是收集农耕活动、时间利用和人体测量数据的独特数据集,我利用该数据集分析了降雨量的变化如何影响母亲的时间利用,以及时间利用是否是降雨量变化在短期内影响儿童营养的机制(以体重-年龄和体重-身高 Z 值衡量)。我的研究结果表明,最后一个月降雨量变化的增加会减少母亲在其他家庭相关活动(如打水)中所占的时间,同时增加儿童消瘦的概率。此外,通过中介分析,我发现母亲的时间使用变量似乎都不是降雨量变化与儿童营养之间的中介因素。这些结果表明,母亲们会因降雨量的变化而调整其时间使用,但不会影响其子女的营养水平。
