This research used existing large\u2010scale datasets to explore MIYCN indicators for those living in urban slum, compared with urban nonslum, areas. Data since 2015 from available Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS; Afghanistan, India, Indonesia, Myanmar, Pakistan and the Philippines) and Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS; Bangladesh, Fiji, Kiribati, Mongolia, Nepal, Thailand and Tuvalu) were analysed. Most urban children in the 13 countries from the region were breastfed within 24\u2009h of birth, with slightly higher rates for those living in slums. Conversely, almost all indicators of infant and young child malnutrition were worse for those in urban slums. For mothers living in slums, underweight prevalence and iron deficiency anaemia were higher while maternal overweight and obesity prevalence were lower. Analysis revealed disparities across countries in the wealth status of those living in slum versus nonslum areas. What is currently missing is representative sampling of households, adequate collection of data both within and across countries, and accurate representation of slum\u2010dwellers in large\u2010scale surveys. Given that limited data for the region show urban poor slum populations are vulnerable to poor nutrition indicators, more data are needed on the poorest urban slum populations to enable effective resource allocation to support optimal MIYCN.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/mcn.13551","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,8]],"date-time":"2023-08-08T05:19:29Z","timestamp":1691471969000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["What is missing in our understanding of urban slum environments and maternal, infant and young child nutrition from publicly available data in Asia and the Pacific?"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7359-1759","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emma","family":"Haycraft","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Sport, Exercise &amp; Health Sciences Loughborough University Loughborough UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Damith","family":"Chandrasenage","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Sport, Exercise &amp; Health Sciences Loughborough University Loughborough UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Wambui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Health Bureau of Epidemiology Harrisburg Pennsylvania USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sophie","family":"Goudet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Sport, Exercise &amp; Health Sciences Loughborough University Loughborough UK"},{"name":"Dikoda, Nutrition Research London England"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5654-9279","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emily","family":"Rousham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Sport, Exercise &amp; Health Sciences Loughborough University Loughborough UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Megan","family":"Stanley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Sport, Exercise &amp; Health Sciences Loughborough University Loughborough UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zivai","family":"Murira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UNICEF Regional Office for South Asia, Leknath Marg Kathmandu Nepal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paula","family":"Griffiths","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Sport, Exercise &amp; Health Sciences Loughborough University Loughborough UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/mcn.12950"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph16030464"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(16)31650-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","volume-title":"Asia and the pacific regional overview of food security and nutrition 2022","author":"Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations","year":"2023"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-981-13-1537-4_2"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.22617\/BRF200176-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00103-018-2769-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","unstructured":"Latief M.(2021).Global pandemic drove 80M people in Asia into extreme poverty.https:\/\/www.aa.com.tr\/en\/asia-pacific\/global-pandemic-drove-80m-people-in-asia-into-extreme-poverty-report\/2344953"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(16)31848-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.worlddev.2017.10.022"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/21681376.2016.1229130"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3402\/gha.v9.33163"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0247856"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_15_1","first-page":"24","volume-title":"International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) global food policy report","author":"Ruel M.","year":"2017"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0956247811398604"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjgh-2021-007265"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11524-020-00485-z"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_19_1","volume-title":"2003\/United Nations Human Settlements Programme","author":"UN\u2010HABITAT","year":"2003"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_20_1","unstructured":"UNICEF.
