    Background: maternal under nutrition is an issue of prime importance for every countryworldwide including Ethiopia. As a result, this study is proposed to generate requiredcomparative information among enrolled and non-enrolled mothers in the program in Siltiworeda, Southern EthiopiaObjective: To determine under nutrition status and associated factors among mothers enrolledto productive safety net program in Silti woreda in rural community, southern Ethiopia 2021.Method: Community-based comparative cross-sectional study design was employed fromApril 10, 2021 to June 10, 2021 among 642 mothers selected sample in Silti woreda..Result: The overall prevalence of under nutrition among mothers was 25.8% (95%CI: 22.3-29.0) the prevalence was higher among mothers for those enrolled in PSNP (28.8% (95%CI:23.7-33.9) than for those non- enrolled in PSNP (22.9% (95%CI: 18.4-27.6). Mothers education (AOR =2.375, 95%CI: 1.267-4.451), nutrition information (AOR =1.896, 95%CI:1.040-3.457) ,dietary diversity(AOR =2.464 frequency of meal per day (AOR = 2.233, 95%CI: 1.204-4.140)and hand washing (AOR =1.999, 95%CI: 1.139-3.510) were found to be significant predictors of under nutrition among mothers non enrolled in PSNP while ,mothers education (AOR =1.973, 95%CI: 1.182-3.293), frequency of meal per day (AOR = 2.188, 95%CI: 1.239-3.863) , nutrition information (AOR =2.821, 95%CI: 1.469-5.419) and time take tofetch water(AOR =1.974, 95%CI: 1.091-3.573) were found to be a significant predictors ofundernutrition among mothers enrolled in PSNP Conclusion and recommendations: Lack of formal education ,low exposure of nutritional information and lack adequate frequency of meal were found to be a significant predictors of undernutrition among mothers both enrolled and non-enrolled in PSNP. Therefore, need attention through creating awareness about nutritional information, and other sector collaboration with in the study area.

    MAGNITUDE OF METABOLIC SYNDROME AND ITS ASSOCIATED FACTORS AMONG ADULTS SEEKING CARE AT KIBET PRIMARY HOSPITAL, SOUTH ETHIOPIA.
    (wolkite university, 2021-07) AWOL JEMAL
    Background: Metabolic syndrome (Mets) is a cluster of cardiovascular risk factors secondary to an inflammatory and insulin resistance state that increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus in adulthood. Cardiovascular diseases, malignant neoplasms and type tow diabetic mellitus were the most common causes of mortality and disability. However, there is limited studies on it despite an increasing Metabolic syndrome related morbidity and mortality. This study used the definition ofMets was according to (NECP/APT) III criteria. Objective: to assess the magnitude and factors associated with Mets among adult seekingcare at Kibet primary hospital, Southern Ethiopia, April to May 2021.Method: An institution based cross sectional study was conducted on 351 participants using a systematic random sampling technique. The data was collected using structured questionnaire and biochemistry indices. Biv ariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to determine an association between each independent and dependent variables. Odd ratio with their 95% confidence intervals was computed to ascertain the existence and strength of an association, and statistical significance was affirmed at a value of < 0.05.Results: In this study, a total of 351 respondents were completed the interview successfully making the response rate of 97.2%. The observed magnitude of Mets was observed to be 18.5% according to (NCEPATP III). Individual with BMI ≥25 kg/m2(AOR=4.1; 95% CI=3.13-11.51), having a sedentary behavior ≥8 hours per day(AOR=3.76; 95% CI =1.38-10.25), serving vegetables or fruit ≥ 3 times per day(AOR=0.52; 95% CI=0.27-1.12), involving physical activity (AOR=0.41; 95% CI: 0.20-0.80) and consuming alcohol 5–6 days per week (AOR=2.9; 95% CI: 1.11-7.55) weresignificantly associated with Mets. Conclusion: Generally, a higher proportion of an adult population had experienced Metsin the study area. Individual with BMI ≥25 kg/m2, having sedentary behavior ≥8 hours perday, consuming alcohol 5–6 days per week were associated factors of Mets. On the other hand, serving vegetables and fruit ≥ 3 times per day, and having physical activity were preventive factors of Mets. The stakeholders should give an emphasis for the prevention of the identified risk factors of Mets.
