Abstract

Abstract Background Acute respiratory infections (ARI) are major causes of morbidity and mortality in many low-income countries. Although factors associated with ARI symptoms in children under 5 years of age have been identified; however, variation in their prevalence resulting from regional-specific proximate determinants has received little attention. Therefore, we aim to investigate the specific regional determinants of overall and wealth-related inequality in children having ARI in Nigeria over a decade. Methods We analyzed trends in development of ARI symptoms among children under 5 years of age in Nigeria using nationally representative cross sectional surveys carried out in 2003, 2008 and 2013. Overall- and household wealth index based- inequality in the distribution of prevalence of ARI symptoms were estimated by region using Gini index and Concentration Index, respectively. Multivariate logistic regressions for complex survey and decomposition analysis for both indexes were used to calculate percentual contribution. Results We found a decreasing trend in development of ARI symptoms over the decade between regions. Children in South Western region had reduced likelihood of developing the symptoms. Concentration index (CI) for the prevalence of ARI symptoms over the years and across regions had negative values (all p
