註釋

The impact of public policies on three anthropometric outcomes, height and weight for height of children and body mass index of adults is examined, using survey data from the Cote d'Ivoire. Reduced availability and quality of health care services, together with increases in the relative price of foods, which accompanied economic adjustment programs in the 1980s, adversely impacted the health of Ivorians. Basic services, such as immunizations and being equipped with simple materials, such as common drugs, are associated with improved child health. Higher food prices have had a significantly detrimental impact on the health of both children and adults.
