INTRODUCTION: Malaria and malnutrition are among the major causes of morbidity and mortality in children under five in Mali. This study is part of the analysis of the association between both in children under five after a seasonal malaria chemoprevention distribution campaign.

METHODS: We carried out a cross-sectional household survey in rural areas after a seasonal malaria chemoprevention distribution campaign to determine the prevalence of malnutrition and parasitaemia in children under five who had passed the season of high transmission of malaria in the health district of Kita. After obtaining written consent, each child was given a physical examination, hemoglobin testing using the Hemocue machine, a thick drop and a thin smear. , A rapid diagnostic test was performed in febrile children. The data was analyzed with ENA 2020 and Stata software version 15.0. Measures of association were made using the chi-square test and a multiple logistic regression model. Odds ratios were used with a 95% confidence interval and a significance level of 0.05.

RESULTS: We selected 308 children aged 6 to 59 months. The prevalence of malaria was 13.6%, it was 15%, 17% and 25% respectively for wasting, underweight and stunting. The susceptibility to malaria increased with age and that of wasting decreased with age. There was no significant relationship between malaria disease and nutritional status.

CONCLUSION: There is no significant association between malaria and malnutrition in our study.
