Malnutrition and disability are interconnected especially in countries suffering from high levelsrnof malnutrition including Ethiopia. Children with disability are prone to malnutrition due torndifferent factors. The study was aimed to assess the nutritional status and its causes amongrnchildren with disabilities aged from six months to seventeen years old, in Gulele Sub-City ofrnAddis Ababa. This study used cross-sectional study design and the sample size was determinedrnby using Cochran (1977) formula and adjusted by a formula for finite population to draw thernfinal 272 households and children with disability. Anthropometric measurements: height/length,rnweight, and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) were used to study their nutritional status.rnResults were entered to SPSS 20 for further descriptive statistical analysis. Mid-Upper ArmrnCircumference (MUAC) and Body Mass Index (BMI) measurement indicates 55.1% and 58.1%rnrespectively was grouped under normal nutritional status. However, the rest 44.9% and 37.5%rnrespectively are under moderate and severe acute malnutrition. 35.3% of children with disabilityrnwere not able to feed properly due to poor appetite, restlessness, pharyngeal atresia, andrnpreference of food items. The type of disability the children have, family size, occupation andrnincome of the household heads, and inability to take food were statistically significantrnrelationship and considered as underlying causes for their nutritional status. Children withrnmultiple disabilities, especially those children who are not able to take food should get thernrequired nutrition and different types of care and support services. It is important to establishrndisability specific service points in health institutions and mothers/caregivers should getrncounselling regarding the needs of their children with disability.rnKeywords: Malnutrition, Ddisability, Micronutrient intake, Children, AnthropometricrnMeasurements
