"A quantitative study on the effects of socioeconomic status on nutritional status in Sub-Saharan African countries dealing with the double burden of malnutrition"^^ . "This research paper aims to contribute to the available body of knowledge on the relationship between\r\nsocioeconomic status [SES] and nutritional status by focusing on women in developing countries\r\ndealing with the double burden of (mal)nutrition. Earlier research on this topic found weakening or\r\ndisappearing relationships in developing countries with increasing obesity levels, and this paper posits\r\nthat this could be due to the fact that this relationship need not be linear. The countries Cameroon,\r\nLesotho and Zimbabwe were chosen for this purpose, based on prior research on the double burden of\r\n(mal)nutrition.\r\nThe Capability Approach was used to explain this possible nonlinear relationship theoretically, and to\r\nbuild an empirical model which could be analyzed with Ordered Probit Regression models using data\r\nfrom the Demographic and Health Surveys [DHS]. One separate model for each country, as well as one\r\nbigger model for all countries combined, were examined to provide an answer to the research question: \r\n“What are the effects of socioeconomic status on nutritional status for women in Sub-Saharan African\r\ncountries dealing with the double burden of (mal)nutrition?”\r\nThe results showed that there was a significant positive linear relationship between SES and BMI for\r\neach country separately, as well as for the combined sample. Indicating that in countries dealing with the\r\ndouble burden of (mal)nutrition, the propensity for individuals to have a higher BMI increases as their\r\nSES increases. \r\nIn conclusion, this direction of linearity which is normally found in underdeveloped regions indicates\r\nthat either this research paper misjudged the level of development in Cameroon, Lesotho and\r\nZimbabwe, or that their transition will occur at a later stage of development than what previously has\r\nbeen found in other regions"^^ .
