Abstract:
Caries in infant was influenced by their substrat. Substrats are the primary source of energy in bacterial colonisingprocess in oral cavity. Streptococcus mutans are especially the main cause of tooth decay. For 1-year-old infant theprimary nutritions are generally from breast milk or formula milk. This study was aimed to determine the differentnumbers of bacterial colonizations of S.mutan found in breast-fed infants from those found in formula milk. Thisobservational-analytics study used cross sectional study design was carried out to 60 infants who fulfil the inclutioncriteria of simple random sampling method,30 infants in each group from Integrated Health Centre in Kelurahan Antang,and the bactery on the saliva was evaluated in Microbiology Laboratory of Medical Faculty Hasanuddin University. Eachparent was given questionnaire which to asks the things related with this research and microbial screening was takenfrom saliva of 1-year old infant. The number of bacterial colonizations for S.mutans in breastfeeding group shows meanvalue 19.7 CFU/ml while the formula milk group was about 37.97 CFU/ml, so the consumptions of breast milk andformula milk in 1-year old infant show the significantly different number of bacterial colonizations of S.mutans in. Itwas concluded that colonization of S.mutans in breastfeeding group lower than formula milk group.

Abstract:
Pneumonia is the leading cause of death among children under five years of age in the world. Based on Riskesdas 2007, in Indonesia the percentages of infants and children under five years who died due to pneumonia were 23.8 percent and 15.5 percent respectively. Using a non-reactive unobstructive method, this study aimed at analyzing the relationship between nutrition and the immunization status and the incidence of pneumonia among children under two years old. This study employed secondary data of Laporan Bulanan Kesehatan Ibu dan Anak dan Laporan Gizi (monthly reports of maternal care, child wellbeings, and nutritions) at Bulak Banteng primary health center in the year of 2015. The sample in this study was 604 children under two years selected using a simple random sampling method. The data was obtained by collecting data of children under two years and the incidence of pneumonia among children under two years at Bulak Banteng health center in 2015. Using a bivariate analysis, it showed that there was relationship between variables of age, sex, immunization, and nutritional status, and the incidence of pneumonia. The p value and OR variables used respectively are 0.00 OR 3.6; 0.00 OR 1.6; 0.00 OR 3.2 and 0.00 OR 16.6. The conclusion of this study is that there was a significant relationship between the variables of age, sex, immunization, and nutritional status and the incidence of pneumonia among children under two years. The advice to primary health centers is to give PMT (additional nutritious food) to children under two years without good nutritional statuses and to monitor the health status of patients who have pneumonia with home visits to avoid recurrence.

Abstract:
Nutritionally, the first 1,000 days of an infant's life – from conception to two years – has been identified as a highly influential period, during which lasting health can be achieved. Significant evidence links patterns of infant feeding to both short and long-term health outcomes, many of which can be prevented through nutritional modifications. Recommended globally, breastfeeding is recognised as the gold standard of infant nutrition; providing key nutrients to achieve optimal health, growth and development, and conferring immunologic protective effects against disease. Nevertheless, infant formulas are often the sole source of nutrition for many infants during the first stage of life. Producers of infant formula strive to supply high quality, healthy, safe alternatives to breast milk with a comparable balance of nutrients to human milk imitating its composition and functional performance measures. The concept of ‘nutritional programming’, and the theory that exposure to specific conditions, can predispose an individual's health status in later life has become an accepted dictum, and has sparked important nutritional research prospects. This review explores the impact of early life nutrition, specifically, how different feeding methods affect health outcomes.

Abstract:
Breastfeeding is natural and the optimal basis of infant nutrition and development, with many benefits for maternal health. Human milk is a dynamic fluid fulfilling an infant’s specific nutritional requirements and guiding the growth, developmental, and physiological processes of the infant. Human milk is considered unique in composition, and it is influenced by several factors, such as maternal diet and health, body composition, and geographic region. Human milk stands as a model for infant formula providing nutritional solutions for infants not able to receive enough mother’s milk. Infant formulas aim to mimic the composition and functionality of human milk by providing ingredients reflecting those of the latest human milk insights, such as oligosaccharides, bacteria, and bacterial metabolites. The objective of this narrative review is to discuss the most recent developments in infant formula with a special focus on human milk oligosaccharides and postbiotics.

Abstract:
Background: Child malnutrition is a major epidemiological problem in developing countries, especially in African countries. Nutrition education for mothers can alleviate this malnutrition in their young children. The objective of this study was to make a systematic review to assess the effect of intervention programs in nutrition education for African mothers on the nutritional status of their infants. Methods: A bibliographic search was carried out in the PubMed database for clinical trials between November 2012 and 2021. The studies should contain educational programs to evaluate the impact on the infant’s nutritional indicators in children under 5 years (food consumption, anthropometry and/or knowledge of nutrition in caretakers). Results: A total of 20 articles were selected, of which 53% evaluated infant’s food consumption, 82% anthropometric measurements and 30% nutritional knowledge. In general, nutritional education programs are accredited with some significant improvements in food and nutrient consumption, knowledge and dietary practices in complementary feeding, but only those studies that implemented strategies in agriculture, educational workshops and supplementation obtained reductions in chronic malnutrition figures. Limitations: There is high heterogeneity in the articles included, since the intervention programs have different approaches. Conclusions: Programs that implemented actions of national agriculture or nutritional supplementation reap the greatest benefits in curbing infant malnutrition.

Abstract:
Abstract Objectives To benefit from the complex oligosaccharides found in human milk, an infant relies on microbial metabolism of these compounds. The main objective of this study was to determine the abundance of Bifidobacterium infantis human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) metabolizing genes in infant fecal samples. Methods Fecal samples from 40 6-mos-old infants were collected. Genomic DNA was extracted, and quantitative real-time PCR was used to determine the abundance of several genes in B. infantis. B infantis specific primer sets were used to target 5 HMO metabolizing genes as well as the 16S rRNA gene. Additional 16S rRNA primer sets were used to target overall bacteria, overall Bifidobacterium, B. breve and B. longum. Abundances of each qPCR reaction were compared by infant human milk exposure, solid food intake, and mode of delivery. Results Mode of delivery was not associated with any PCR targets. Two HMO genes, a sialidase and a glycoside hydrolase, as well as a B. infantis 16S rRNA gene were more abundant in the feces of human milk fed infants (p &lt; 0.05). The sialidase and a B. infantis 16S rRNA gene tended to be less abundant when a larger percentage of an infant's diet consisted of solids (p &lt; 0.10). When accounting for solid food intake, human milk exposure continued to be positively associated with the sialidase and a B. infantis 16S rRNA gene abundance (p &lt; 0.05) and tended to be related to the abundance of the glycoside hydrolase (p &lt; 0.10). An assessment of 5 B. infantis specific primer sets targeting HMO metabolizing genes demonstrated that the stools of human milk fed infants harbored a more diverse set of these genes than those of non-human milk fed infants (p = 0.02). Conclusions Herein, we have identified a qPCR primer set targeting a sialidase that is consistently associated with human milk exposure even in the presence of solid food intake. With further development and validation in additional populations of infants, these assays could be used to group samples by dietary exposure even where no record of dietary intake exists. Thus, this assay would provide a method by which infant human milk intake proximal to sample collection can be assessed quickly in any well-equipped molecular biology lab.

Abstract:
Since originally isolated in 1899, the genus Bifidobacterium has been demonstrated to predominate in the gut microbiota of breastfed infants and to benefit the host by accelerating maturation of the immune response, balancing the immune system to suppress inflammation, improving intestinal barrier function, and increasing acetate production. In particular, Bifidobacterium longum subspecies infantis (B. infantis) is well adapted to the infant gut and has co-evolved with the mother-infant dyad and gut microbiome, in part due to its ability to consume complex carbohydrates found in human milk. B. infantis and its human host have a symbiotic relationship that protects the preterm or term neonate and nourishes a healthy gut microbiota prior to weaning. To provide benefits associated with B. infantis to all infants, a number of commercialized strains have been developed over the past decades. As new ingredients become available, safety and suitability must be assessed in preclinical and clinical studies. Consideration of the full clinical evidence for B. infantis use in pediatric nutrition is critical to better understand its potential impacts on infant health and development. Herein we summarize the recent clinical studies utilizing select strains of commercialized B. infantis.

Abstract:
The prevalence of childhood obesity is escalating rapidly and it considered to be a major public health problem. Diet is a recognised precursor of fatness, and current evidence supports the premise that in Westernised countries, the dietary intakes of children are likely to be important in obesity genesis. However, we have a relatively poor understanding of the environments in which a child’s eating is learnt and maintained. Much of the existing work in this area is based on small-scale or experimental studies, or has been derived from homogeneous populations within the USA. Despite these limitations, there is evidence that aspects of the child’s family environment are likely to be important in determining obesity risk in children. This thesis examines the impact of the family food environment on a child’s eating through two related studies. The first study, titled the Children and Family Eating (CAFÉ) study comprised three phases. Phase one involved qualitative interviews with 17 parents of 5-6 year-old children to explore parental perceptions regarding those factors in a child’s environment believed to influence the development of their child’s eating habits. These interviews were used to inform the development of quantitative measures of the family food environment. The second phase involved the development of a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) to assess dietary intake in 5-6 year-olds. The FFQ was informed by analysis of 1995 Australian National Nutrition Survey data. In the final phase the relationships between dietary intakes of 5-6 year-old children, and potential predictors of dietary intake were examined in a cross-sectional study of 560 families. Predictors included measures of: parental perceptions of the adequacy of their child’s diet; food availability and accessibility; child-feeding; the opportunities for parental modelling of food intake; a child’s television exposure; maternal Body Mass Index; and maternal education. Analysis of the CAFÉ data provides unique information regarding the relationships between a child’s family food environment and their food consumption. Models developed for a range of dietary outcomes considered to be predictive of increased risk for obesity, including total energy and fat intakes, vegetable variety, vegetable consumption, and high-energy (non-dairy) fluid consumption, explained between 11 and 20 percent of the variance in dietary intake. Two aspects of the family food environment, parental perception of a child’s dietary adequacy, and the total minutes of television viewed per day, were frequently found to be predictive of dietary outcomes likely to promote fatness in these children. The second study, titled the Parent Education and Support (PEAS) Feeding Intervention Study, was a prospective pre/post non-randomised intervention trial that assessed the impact of a feeding intervention to 240 first-time mothers of one-year-old children. This intervention focused on one aspect of the family food environment, child-feeding, which has been proposed as influential in the development of obesogenic eating behaviours. In this study, Maternal and Child Health Nurses (MCHNs), using a ‘Division of Responsibility’ model of feeding, taught parents to provide nutritious food at regular intervals and to let children decide if to eat and how much to eat. Thus parents were encourages to food their child without exerting pressure, or employing coercion or rewards (controlling behaviours). The aim was to influence parental attitudes and beliefs regarding child-feeding. Through the use of these feeding techniques, this intervention also aimed to increase the variety of fruits and vegetables a child consumed by teaching parents to persist with offering these foods, over the year of the intervention, in non-emotive environments. Fruits and vegetables were chosen in this intervention because they are likely to be protective in the development of obesity. Analysis of the PEAS data suggests that this low-level feeding intervention, delivered through existing Maternal and Child Health services, was modestly effective in changing parental attitudes and beliefs regarding the feeding of young children. Further, the validity of fruits offered to intervention group children increased. This thesis expands the existing knowledge base by providing a comprehensive analysis of the relative impact of aspects of the family environment on dietary intakes of 5-6 year-olds. Further, the analysis of a feeding intervention in first-time parents provides important insights regarding the potential to influence child-feeding and the impact this may have on the promotion of eating behaviours protective against obesity.

INTRODUCTION: Since the start of the Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) Programme at Dr George Mukhari Hospital in 2001, there has been no evaluation of the effect of formula feeding on the growth and dietary intakes of enrolled infants. AIM: The aim of this study was to determine the short-term growth, anthropometry and dietary intake of infants from two to ten weeks of age were entered into the PMTCT Programme at the Department of Human Nutrition at Dr George Mukhari Hospital from two to ten weeks of age. METHODS: This was a descriptive, longitudinal (eight weeks duration) study. Anthropometric assessment including length and head circumference was performed at two weeks of age and thereafter at ten weeks of age. Weight measurement was performed at age two weeks (visit 1), six weeks (visit 2) and ten weeks (visit 3). Anthropometric measurements were compared with CDC 20003 growth charts. Feeding practices and dietary intake (24 hour diet recall interview) were assessed at each of the four week interval visits and evaluated according to the DRIs59. At the third visit, a socio-demographic interview and a usual food intake interview were performed. RESULTS: A total of 151 [male (N = 75) and female (N = 76)] infants completed the study. A total of 110 (72%) mothers resided in the Soshanguve area and 138 (91%) of the mothers had attended high school. The majority (75%) of mothers was not generating an income from employment. Generally, mothers had access to safe drinking water and all (99%) but two mothers used pre-boiled water before preparing infant formula. The accuracy and correctness of reconstituting infant formula decreased with each visit as feeds were increasingly made too dilute. A total of 124 (82%) infants were exclusively formula fed. The remainder received water, water with sugar and/or complementary feeds. Mean energy and macronutrient intakes of both males (N = 65, 87%) and females (N = 61, 80%) were below recommendations at age two weeks. Of all the macronutrients, fats were consumed the least by both males (N = 67, 89%) and females (N = 66, 87%) at visit 1. Catch up growth was evident and nutrient intakes improved as the study progressed. The mean weight gain of all infants from visit 1 to 2 was 1.2 (SD 0.3) kg and 0.9 (SD 0.3) kg from visit 2 to 3 (exceeding the CDC 20003 recommendation for both male and female infants). The incidence of underweight, wasting and head circumference-for-age below the third percentile decreased from visit 1 to 3, but the number of stunted infants increased towards visit 3. The majority of infants in this study grew well in their first ten weeks of life. Growth accelerated as infants became older and growth faltering improved by ten weeks of age. CONCLUSION: Overall, the growth of the infants referred to the PMTCT Programme at the Department of Human Nutrition at Dr George Mukhari Hospital would appear to be adequate but mothers’ approach to formula feeding practices needs to be improved in some aspects of feeding their infants.

Abstract:
The aim of this research was to examine differences in general nutrition knowledge and prenatal sources of infant feeding information among women planning to feed breast milk, breast-milk substitutes, or a combination of breast milk and breast-milk substitutes. Subjects completed a demographic survey, a test of nutrition knowledge, and a questionnaire on sources of infant feeding information. There were no statistical differences in age, education, and nutrition knowledge scores among women in the three groups. A significant relationship was observed between education and nutrition knowledge; women who had attended college courses scored higher.003) on the nutrition knowledge test than those who had not attended. Health care providers (82%) and reading materials (82%) were the most frequently cited sources of infant feeding information. While general nutrition knowledge appears to be positively related to education, it does not appear to influence the infant feeding decision.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Introduction A paucity of data exists regarding growth patterns and nutrition-related problems in infants (<12 months) on antiretroviral treatment (ART) and the infant feeding knowledge, beliefs, attitude and practices of their caregivers. Aim To describe the growth and nutrition-related problems of infants (<12 months) attending the Antiretroviral (ARV) clinic at Red Cross Children’s Hospital, as well as the knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and practices of their caregivers concerning infant feeding. Methods A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted with census sampling. Thirty infants and 31 caregivers were included in the sample. Anthropometric measurements were performed and interviewer-administered questionnaires were utilised to obtain the knowledge, attitude, beliefs and practices of the caregivers. The mean Z-score of each measurement as well as the weight-for-age, length-for-age, weight-forlength and bodymass index-for-age for each infant were determined, analysed, interpreted and described according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) growth standards for children. Results Thirty-nine percent (n=11) of the mothers (n=28) did not receive infant feeding counselling prior to delivery, while only 9 (32%) received the minimum number of at least 4 sessions, as prescribed by the Department of Health. It was not assessed whether the counselling occurred before delivery. The mean age of the infants was 6.9 (SD 3.3) months. Eighty-three percent (n=25) had an opportunistic infection prior to data collection. Twenty-three percent (n=7) were underweight-forage and 40% (n=12) of the infants were stunted. Vomiting and diarrhoea were the most common nutrition-related problems experienced. A statistical significant positive correlation (p=0.003) was found between an infant’s duration on ART and W/A z-score. Only two caregivers were breastfeeding at the time of data collection, but 34% (n=10) of the other caregivers had at some stage breastfed their infant. Formula feeding practices were poor. Sixty-two percent (n=18) were not preparing the feeds correctly and only six (21%) were correctly cleaning and sterilising the bottles. Thirty-nine percent (n=11) of the infants were not receiving an adequate amount of milk per day. Sixty-five percent (n=11) of the infants (>six months) did not receive a diet the previous day which met the minimum WHO dietary diversity indicator and only 18% (n=3) received a minimum acceptable diet. Caregivers had an average knowledge concerning infant feeding. Thirteen percent (n=4) knew the correct definition of exclusive breast- or formula feeding. Sixty-eight percent (n=21) did not know what mixed feeding meant, or the dangers associated with it. Most caregivers (n=25, 81%) knew that oral rehydration solution had to be given when infants developed diarrhoea, but only 48% (n=15) knew how to prepare it and only 6% (n=2) knew how to administer it. Seventy-five percent (n=9) of caregivers did not know what should be done when experiencing breast problems. Sixty-four percent (n=19) of the caregivers believed that if a HIV-positive woman breastfeeds she would definitely transmit HIV to her infant. Conclusion The infant sample showed a variety of erratic growth patterns with a high prevalence of underweight and stunting. Infant feeding knowledge of caregivers was average, but not deemed sufficient to translate into appropriate, safe and optimal infant feeding practices. The breastfeeding prevalence was low. Formula preparation, feeding and hygiene practices were poor and dietary intake of infants was not optimal. The quality and quantity of HIV infant feeding counselling sessions received at antenatal clinic visits were poor and need to be addressed.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Inleiding Daar is 'n tekort aan data oor groeipatrone en voedingsverwante probleme by babas (<12 maande) op antiretrovirale behandeling asook die babavoedingkennis, -oortuigings, -houdings en -praktyke van hul versorgers. Doelwit Om ondersoek in te stel na die groei- en voedingsverwante probleme by babas (<12 maande) in die antiretrovirale kliniek by Rooikruis-kinderhospitaal, sowel as die babavoedingkennis, - oortuigings, -houdings en -praktyke van hul versorgers. Metodes 'n Beskrywende dwarssnitstudie is met sensussteekproefneming onderneem. Dertig babas en 31 versorgers is by die steekproef ingesluit. Antropometriese metings was gedoen en onderhoude was met behulp van vraelyste gevoer ten einde inligting oor die versorgers se kennis, houdings, oortuigings en praktyke te bekom. Elke baba se gemiddelde z-telling per meting sowel as die gewig-vir-ouderdom, lengte-vir-ouderdom en liggaamsmassa-indeks-vir-ouderdom was volgens die Wêreldgesondheidsorganisasie (WGO) se groeistandaarde vir kindersbepaal, ontleed, vertolk en beskryf. Resultate Altesaam 39% (n=11) van die moeders (n=28) het nie voor die bevalling voorligting oor babavoeding ontvang nie, terwyl slegs 9 (32%) die Departement van Gesondheid se voorgeskrewe minimum 4 sessies, deurloop het. Dit was nie bepaal of hierdie sessies voor die bevalling ontvang was nie. Die gemiddelde ouderdom van die babas was 6,9 (standaardafwyking 3,3) maande. 'n Totaal van 83% (n=25) het voor data-insameling 'n opportunistiese infeksie gehad, 23% (n=7) was ondergewig-vir-ouderdom, en 40% (n=12) van die babas se lengtegroei was ingekort. Die algemeenste voedingsverwante probleme was braking en diarree. Daar blyk 'n statisties beduidende positiewe korrelasie (p=0.003) te wees tussen die duur van die baba se antiretrovirale behandeling en sy/haar gewig-vir-ouderdom-z-telling. Slegs twee versorgers het hul babas ten tyde van die studie geborsvoed, hoewel 34% (n=10) van die versorgers in 'n stadium geborsvoed het. Voedingspraktyke met die gee van melkformule was swak. Altesaam 62% (n=18) het die melkformule verkeerd aangemaak en slegs ses (21%) het die bottels behoorlik skoongemaak en gesteriliseer. Nege-en-dertig persent (n=11) van die babas het te min melk per dag ontvang. Vyf-en-sestig persent (n=11) van die babas (>6 maande) se melkinname die vorige dag het nie aan die minimum WGO aanbevole dieetdiversiteitsaanwyser voldoen nie, en slegs 18% (n=3) het 'n minimum aanvaarbare dieet gevolg. Versorgers se kennis ten opsigte van babavoeding was gemiddeld, met net 13% (n=4) wat die korrekte omskrywing van eksklusiewe bors- of formulevoeding geken het. 'n Totaal van 68% (n=21) het nie geweet wat gemengde voeding beteken of watter gevare dit inhou nie. Die meeste versorgers (n=25, 81%) het geweet dat orale rehidrasie oplossing toegedien moet word wanneer babas aan diarree ly, maar slegs 48% (n=15) het geweet hoe om dit aan te maak en 'n skrale 6% (n=2) hoe om dit toe te dien. Vyf-en-sewentig persent (n=9) van die versorgers het nie geweet wat om te doen as hulle probleme met hul borste ervaar nie. Altesaam 64% (n=19) van die versorgers het geglo dat 'n MIV-positiewe vrou definitief haar baba MIV sal gee indien sy hom/haar sou borsvoed. Samevatting Die steekproef babas het 'n verskeidenheid onreëlmatige groeipatrone getoon en baie was ondergewig of het ook dwerggroei getoon. Versorgers se kennis van babavoeding was gemiddeld, maar nie voldoende om tot toepaslike, veilige en optimale babavoedingspraktyke aanleiding te gee nie. Die voorkoms van borsvoeding was laag. Melkformulevoorbereiding, - voeding en -higiëne was swak, en babas se voedinginname was nie ideaal nie. Die gehalte van en hoeveelheid voorligting oor MIV-babavoeding met besoeke aan voorgeboorteklinieke was swak en moet aangespreek word.

Abstract:
Objetivo: Avaliar a adequação da dieta de crianças de 12 a 32 meses em relação ao consumo de porções dos grupos alimentares e de energia, macro e micronutrientes. Métodos: estudo descritivo, com uma amostra de conveniência com crianças de 12 a 32 meses de Ribeirão Preto, SP, participantes de um amplo projeto temático denominado Projeto Brisa. Para a avaliação dietética foi utilizado o recordatório alimentar de 24 horas, os alimentos e preparações consumidos pelas crianças foram inseridos no software Virtual Nutri Plus para cálculo nutricional e transformados em porções relacionadas aos oito grupos da Pirâmide Alimentar Infantil. A variabilidade intrapessoal da dieta foi corrigida com a replicação de três R24h, em dias aleatórios, em uma subamostra de 20% da população do estudo. Esses dados foram submetidos ao Multiple Source Method (MSM) e obtida a dieta usual que foi analisada de acordo com a Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) e Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) das Dietary Reference Intake (DRIs) e expressa em proporção de crianças com ingestão de nutrientes abaixo ou acima dessas recomendações. As porções alimentares foram analisadas por meio dos guias alimentares infantis brasileiros. A associação entre os valores consumidos de energia, macro e micronutrientes e porções alimentares com as variáveis de interesse foi avaliada por meio do teste de qui-quadrado. Resultados: A amostra de 491 crianças foi estratificada em três faixas etárias, com predomínio de crianças entre 18 a 23 meses (52%), meninas (52,5%) eutróficas (92,9%), cujas mães tinham 9 a 11 anos de estudo (57,4%) e referiram cor da pele branca (55,2%); os prematuros representaram 22% da amostra estudada. Apenas 7,4% pertenciam a classes econômicas menos favorecidas. A alimentação das crianças apresentou consumo insuficiente de carboidrato e gordura, 38,5% e 29,5%, adequado de energia e excessivo de proteínas (79,8%). Entre os micronutrientes, Ferro, vitamina C e vitamina B12 tiveram os maiores percentuais de consumo adequado (98,6%, 97,0% e 94,9%, respectivamente), enquanto cálcio (27,3%), folato (74,8%) e vitamina E (37,7%) apresentaram maiores frequências de consumo insuficiente. A ingestão acima de UL foi mais expressiva em vitamina A (43,6%) e zinco (33,6%). O consumo de porções alimentares nas crianças mais novas, até 23 meses, foi insuficiente de carnes e ovos (42,7%), leites, queijos e iogurtes (47,7%) e excessivo dos grupos de cereais, pães e tubérculos, frutas e óleos e gorduras. Nas maiores de 24 meses o consumo insuficiente foi mais elevado no grupo dos cereais, pães e tubérculos (56,1%) e frutas (75,8%). O alto consumo insuficiente de verduras e legumes e excessivo de açúcares e doces foi encontrado em todas as crianças. Conclusão: A alimentação das crianças foi marcada por inadequações na ingestão de nutrientes, consumo insuficiente de verduras e legumes e excessivo de alimentos fontes de açúcares e doces. No entanto, a ingestão de ferro e vitamina A, micronutrientes mais deficientes no Brasil, apresentaram baixas taxas de consumo inadequado. O excesso de peso foi observado em apenas 35 (7,1%) e esteve associado ao maior consumo excedente de energia.
Objective: To assess dietary adequacy in 12-t0-32-month old children regarding the intake of portions of food groups and energy and of macro- and micronutrients. Methods: A descriptive study of a convenience sample of 12-to-32-month-old children from Ribeirão Preto, SP, participating in an ample thematic project denoted BRISA Project. The 24 hour food recall was used for assessment and the foods and preparations consumed by the children were inserted in the Virtual Nutri Plus software for nutritional calculation and transformed into portions related to the eight groups of the Infant Food Pyramid. Intrapersonal dietary variability was corrected with three R24h replication on random days in a 20% subsample of the study population. The data were submitted to the Multiple Source Method (MSM) and the usual diet was obtained and analyzed according to the Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) and the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) from the Dietary Reference Intake (DRIs) and expressed as the proportion of children with nutrient intake below or above these recommendations. The food portions were analyzed using Brazilian infant food guides. The association of the energy, macro- and micronutrient values consumed and food portions with the variables of interest was determined by the chi-square test. Results: The sample of 491 children was stratified into three age ranges, with a predominance of children aged 18 to 23 months (52%), of normal weight (92.9%) girls (52.5%) whose mothers had 9 to 11 years of schooling (57.4%) and who reported white skin color (55.2%). Preterm babies represented 22% of the study sample. Only 7.4% belonged to less privileged economic classes. The children\'s diet showed insufficient carbohydrate and fat intake, 38.5% and 29.5%, adequate energy intake and excessive protein intake (79.8%). Among the micronutrients, iron, vitamin C and vitamin B12 showed the highest percentages of adequate intake (98.6%, 97.0% and 94.9%, respectively), whereas calcium (27.3%), folate (74.8%) and vitamin E (37.7%) showed higher frequencies of insufficient intake. Intake above UL was more expressive for vitamin A (43.6%) and zinc (33.6%). Among younger infants (up to 23 months of age), food portion intake was insufficient regarding meat and eggs (42.7%), milk, cheese and yogurt (47.7%), and excessive regarding cereals, breads and tubercles, fruits, oils and fats. Among children older than 24 months, insufficient intake was more marked regarding cereals, breads and tubercles (56.1%) and fruits (75.8%). A markedly insufficient intake of vegetables and legumes and excessive intake of sugars and sweets was observed in all children. Conclusion: The diet of the children studied was marked by inadequate nutrient intake, insufficient vegetable and legume intake and excessive intake of foods containing sugars and sweets. However, low rates of inadequate intake were observed for iron and vitamin A, the micronutrients more deficient in Brazil. Excess weight was observed in only 35 children (7.1%) and was associated with excessive energy intake.

Abstract:
Undernutrition in early life increases children’s risk of mortality, morbidity, and impaired growth and development. This thesis analyzes data from two randomized controlled trials in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The first trial assessed the effect of daily multivitamin (vitamins B-complex, C and E) supplementation on mortality and morbidity in infants born to HIV-infected mothers. 2387 infants were randomized to multivitamins or placebo at 6 weeks and followed-up for two years. The second trial assessed the effect of zinc and/or multivitamins (vitamins B-complex, C and E) on morbidity in infants born to HIV-uninfected mothers. 2400 infants were randomized to either zinc + multivitamins, zinc only, multivitamins only, or placebo at 6 weeks and were followed for 18 months. Chapter 1 assesses the effect of zinc and/or multivitamin supplements in the second trial on longitudinal child growth – defined by change in height-for-age, weight-for-age and weight-for-height z-scores (HAZ, WAZ and WHZ) and stunting, underweight and wasting (<-2 SD 2006 WHO standard for each indicator respectively). We found small, but significant effects of supplements on change in WHZ and WAZ, but did not find a statistically significant effect of zinc and/or multivitamin supplements on stunting, wasting or underweight. Chapter 2 assesses the effect of zinc and/or multivitamin supplements in the second trial on early child development (ECD) assessed using the cognitive, motor (fine and gross) and language (receptive and expressive) scales of the Bayley Infant Scales of Development 3rd Edition (BSID-III). We did not find a significant effect of supplements on early childhood development as assessed by the BSID-III. Chapter 3 pools the two trials in order to compare mortality, morbidity and growth in HIV-infected, HIV-exposed-but-uninfected (HIV-EU) and HIV unexposed infants. HIV-infected children had the highest rates of mortality, morbidity and growth failure. HIV-EU infants had higher rates of mortality and morbidities than unexposed infants; but lower rates than their HIV-infected peers. Conclusions: Alternative approaches (beyond zinc and/or multivitamin supplementation) to improve growth and ECD in vulnerable populations should be pursued. Child health interventions should target not only HIV-infected but also HIV-EU children, given their increased susceptibility to morbidity and mortality.

Abstract:
A controlling maternal feeding style can have negative consequences for child weight and eating style (Ventura & Birch, 2008). Mothers who breastfeed during the first year exert lower levels of control over child feeding (Farrow & Blissett, 2008). Explanations for this relationship speculate that experience of breastfeeding reduces control as breastfeeding requires an infant-led approach (Taveras et al. 2004) or alternatively that maternal attitudes predict both initiation of breastfeeding and later maternal control (Farrow & Blissett, 2006a). The nature of this relationship is explored in this thesis. Mothers reported their intended and actual feeding style during milk feeds when pregnant and at six months postpartum using a modified version of the Child Feeding Questionnaire (Birch, Fisher, Grimm-Thomas, Markey, Sawyer, & Johnson. 2001). Maternal use of control in the form of scheduling and encouraging milk feeds was evident. A high level of control was associated with a shorter breastfeeding duration (p < 0.001). Control beliefs were present prenatally with intended breastfeeding duration inversely associated with intended control. Furthermore, attitudes towards the infant-led nature of breastfeeding were associated with both breastfeeding duration and control. Breastfed infants need to be fed to infant demand and amount consumed is immeasurable whilst formula feeding is open to maternal manipulation. A belief that breastfeeding was inconvenient was associated with scheduling feeds whilst concerns over milk intake and low confidence were associated with encouraging feeds. Whilst scheduling feeds was a stable behaviour predictive from prenatal intention, encouraging feeds was fluid and related to maternal experience. Concerns about infant size or feeding difficulties increased use of encouraging feeds. Maternal desire for control may therefore drive breastfeeding duration, explaining the association between breastfeeding and later feeding style. The findings have important implications for breastfeeding duration, early programming of appetite and bodyweight and later maternal feeding style.

Abstract:
Background: Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), choline and uridine-5-monophosphate (UMP) are important brain nutrients which form phosphatidylcholine, the most abundant brain membrane phospholipid. DHA, choline and UMP supplementation increases rodent brain phospholipids, synaptic components, functional brain connectivity and cognitive performance. This novel pilot study supplemented infants at risk of neurological impairment (ARNI) with a nutrient combination containing these neurotrophic compounds. Aims: 1) In a double blind randomised control trial (RCT), investigate if intake of a specific nutrient combination improves neurodevelopmental and visual outcome in infants ARNI. 2) Using novel measures of cortical visual function, investigate the effect of perinatal brain injury severity, gestational age at birth and sex upon visuocognitive development in infants at risk of neurodevelopmental impairment. Method: Recruitment was from UK neonatal units. Eligibility: ≤ 31 weeks, weight < 9th percentile; < 31 weeks with ≥ Grade II intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) or preterm white matter injury (PWMI); 31-40 weeks with ≥ Grade II IVH or PWMI, ≥ Sarnat Grade II HIE or defined brain MRI abnormalities. Stratification was by sex, gestation and brain injury severity. Randomised infants received neurotrophic supplementation or placebo, for 2 years. Primary outcome was Bayley Scales of Infant Development III (BSID III) composite cognitive score (CCS) after 2 years. Secondary outcomes included BSID III composite language score (CLS) and BSID III composite motor score (CMS). Cortical visual measures were pattern reversal visual event related potential (PR-VERP) latency (transient and calculated), orientation reversal visual event related potentials (OR-VERP), and the Fixation Shift test (FS). Functional behavioural vision was assessed using the Atkinson Battery of Child Development for Examining Functional Vision (ABCDEFV). Local Ethics Committee approval was granted. Results: 62 neonates were recruited. After 2 years, mean CCS in the intervention group was 87.7 (SD 20.4) and 81.6 (SD 18.5) in the placebo group (mean difference = 2.28, p=0.13; -0.2, 18.2). Mean CLS in the intervention group was 91.5 (SD 20.1) and 83.2 (SD 19.6) in the placebo group (mean difference = 2.74, p=0.1; -2.4, 18.3). CMS was similar in both groups. In relation to trial visual outcome measures, more infants in the placebo group gave a statistically significant OR-VERP response than in the intervention group (p=0.03). There were no statistically significant differences between the placebo and intervention on any other trial visual outcome measure. Cohort analyses indicate that transient PR-VERP latency is prolonged in children at risk of neurodevelopmental disability compared to typically developing infants (mean difference = -23.3, p=0.015, 95% CI -42.10 - -4.54). Calculated PR-VERP latency is prolonged to an even greater extent in children at risk of neurodevelopmental disability compared to typically developing infants (mean difference -148.6, p=0.000, 95% CI -179.7- -117.43), and remains prolonged across the age range tested. Conclusions: 1) The difference in CCS and CLS between intervention and placebo groups represents a clinically significant effect size. Use of neurotrophic micronutrient supplementation in infants ARNI warrants exploration in a large multicentre RCT. 2) Calculated PR-VERP latency may be a more appropriate outcome measure of cortical visual function than transient PR-VERP latency in infants at risk of neurodevelopmental disability.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: In Indonesia, nutrition is still the 5 biggest problem for mothers and children. Nutrition in the mother during pregnancy will affect the nutrition the infant gets while in the womb. Nutrition in children is very important in the first 1000 days of life because it will affect the growth and development of the infant. One way to assess the nutritional adequacy of new born is by measuring the infant’s weight at birth. This study aimed to determine the relationship between maternal weight and birth weight. Subjects and Method: This was a cross sectional study conducted at Pajang Community Health Center, Surakarta, Central Java. The study subjects were all mothers and infants whose birth weight were measured during February to March 2020. The dependent variable in this study was maternal weight. The independent variable was birth weight. The data were taken from the medical records of the Pajang Community Health Center. The data were analyzed using logistic regression test Results: Maternal weight below the normal weight had tendency to produce babies with less weight than pregnant women with normal maternal weight (OR= 55.00; p<0.001), and it was statistically significant. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between maternal weight of pregnant women and birth weight Keywords: maternal weight, birth weight Correspondence: Rahmi Syuadzah.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Rural children face higher mortality rates than their urban counterparts. Although the rural disadvantage in average child survival in developing countries is firmly established, its explanation is less clear. Several studies suggest that household-level factors appear to be important in explaining rural-urban differences in child mortality. This study aimed to examine the contextual effect of village and other determinants on infant mortality in Karanganyar, Central Java. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Karanganyar, Central Java, from February to May 2020. A sample of 200 infants aged 1 to 23 months was selected by fixed disease sampling. The dependent variable was infant mortality. The independent variables were exclusive breastfeeding, nutritional intake, immunization status, maternal education, family income, and contextual effect of village. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a multiple multilevel logistic regression run on Stata 13. Results: Infant mortality decreased with exclusive breastfeeding (b= -5.10; 95% CI= -9.60 to -0.59; p= 0.026), high family income (b= -5.96; 95% CI= – 9.91 to -2.02; p= 0.003), high maternal education (b= -4.09; 95% CI= -7.79 to -0.38; p= 0.030), and complete immunization (b= -4.67; 95% CI= -8.69 to -0.67; p= 0.022). Infant mortality increased with poor nutritional status (b= 4.99; 95% CI= 1.79 to 8.19; p= 0.002). Village had contextual effect on infant mortality with ICC= 32%. Conclusion: Infant mortality decreases with exclusive breastfeeding, high family income, high maternal education, and complete immunization. Infant mortality increases with poor nutritional status. Village has contextual effect on infant mortality. Keywords: infant mortality, contextual effect of village Correspondence: Endang Palupi. Masters Program in Public Health, Universitas Sebelas Maret.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Complementary feeding practice is needed to be optimized to maximize children’s potential for growth and development. However, there are still many obstacles in provide complementary feeding practice. This study aimed to examine the determinants of complementary feeding practice. Subjects and Method: A cross sectional study was conducted in Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, from October to November 2019. A sample of 200 mothers who had infants aged 6-24 months was selected by probability sampling. The dependent variable was complementary feeding practice. The independent variables were birthweight, child nutritional status, maternal knowledge toward complementary feeding, maternal education, and family income. The data were collected by infant weight scale, infantometer, and questionnaire. The data were analyzed by a multiple logistic regression run on Stata 13. Results: Complementary feeding practice increased with birthweight ≥2500 g (b= 2.67; 95% CI=0.59 to.89; p= 0.008), child nutritional status (WHZ) -2.0 to 2.0 SD (b= 2.72; 95% CI=o.75 to 4.61; p= 0.006), high maternal knowledge toward complementary feeding (b= 2.27; 95% CI= 0.27 to 3.79; p= 0.023), maternal education ≥Senior high school (b= 2.19; 95% CI= 0.23 to 4.25; p= 0.028), and family income ≥Rp 1,571,000 (b= 2.42; 95% CI= 0.39 to 3.77; p= 0.015). Conclusion: Complementary feeding practice increases with birthweight ≥2500 g, good child nutritional status, high maternal knowledge toward complementary feeding, high maternal education, and high family income.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: The highest risk of childhood death occurs during the neonatal period. Risks of poor outcomes during pregnancy and childbirth are exacerbated by poverty, low status of women, lack of education, poor nutrition, heavy workloads, and violence. This study aimed to examine biological and socio-demographic factors associated with neonatal mortality. Subjects and Method: A case control study was conducted in Karanganyar, Central Java, Indonesia. Study population was infant neonates. A sample of 200 mothers and their neonates, including 50 dead neonates and 150 alive infants was selected by fixed disease sampling. The dependent variable was infant mortality. The independent variables were maternal mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), maternal age, maternal occupation, family income, and number birth delivery. The data were obtained from medical record and questionnaire. The data were analyzed by a multiple logistic regression. Results: The risk of neonatal death increased with mother working outside the house (b= 0.95; 95% CI= 0.10 to 1.80; p= 0.028). The risk of neonatal death decreased with maternal MUAC ≥23.5 cm (b= -1.21; 95% CI= -2.03 to -0.38; p= 0.004), maternal age 20-35 years (b= -1.06; 95% CI= -1.83 to -0.29; p= 0.007), family income ≥Rp 1,833,000 (b= -1.37; 95% CI= -2.20 to -0.54; p= 0.001), and number of birth delivery 2 to 4 (b= -0.67; 95% CI= -1.39 to 0.05; p= 0.067). Conclusion: The risk of neonatal death increases with mother working outside the house. The risk of neonatal death decreases with maternal MUAC ≥23.5 cm, maternal age 20-35 years, high family income, and number of birth delivery 2 to 4.

Abstract:
Premature infants receive enteral feedings well before the time they would have if they remained in utero. The alimentary system may or may not be receptive to nutrition. Neonatal caretakers must decide whether it is safe to feed the patient. Possible etiologies of bowel dysfunction include bowel obstruction, functional or anatomic which may be reflected as an abnormality or lack of peristalsis. This peristalsis may be monitored acoustically to determine the health of the patient’s digestive tract.
