摘要：

This study examined the influence of maternal autonomy on child nutrition in rural, Nigeria. The 2013 Nigerian Demography and Health Survey data were utilized. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, composite score analysis, and ordered probit regression. About 51% of the children were male with an average age of 22.55 +/- 17.22 months. Almost 43.3%, 29.0% and 18.7% of the children were stunted, underweight and wasted, respectively. Higher percentage of mothers (71.53%) had low autonomy. Increase in mother's autonomy on own health and decision on visits to friends and relatives would decrease the probability of negative child nutrition outcome by 0.058 and 0.1077, respectively.
