Malnutrition (undernutrition) occurs in an individual when the quantity and quality of his/her daily food intake are insufficient over some time. More than 10.1 million people are in jail around the globe and a total of 111,133 prisoners were expected to be found in Ethiopia. However, in low- income countries, nutrition-related issues are often neglected especially for vulnerable groups like prisoners. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of undernutrition and factor associated factors with it among adult prison inmates in Butajira prison.
