Background: The nutritional status of children is a good predictor of the community's overall nutritional profile. The nutritional requirements of women before conception, during pregnancy, and during breastfeeding are referred to as maternal nutrition. Globally, 165 million children under the five years are malnourished. It accounts for at least half of all the childhood deaths worldwide. Objective: To find the nutritional status of child of well-nourished mother vs. malnourished mothers Methodology: This comparative1observational study was conducted at Pediatrics Department, Masood Hospital & The Children Complex, Rahim Yar Khan. The study included 294 mothers of children aged 6 to 59 months who were both well-nourished and malnourished. Both mothers of children who were well-nourished when they were admitted to the ward and mothers of children who were malnourished when they were admitted to the NSC were included. Mothers' Body Mass Index (BMI) was assessed, and children's MUAC was obtained. The information was gathered using a designed questionnaire that asked about the mother's age, BMI, the children's age and gender, MUAC.Data was entered in SPSS V 25. Result: Total 294 children were included. Among1them 158(53.7%) mothers malnourished children & 136(46.3%) mothers of well-nourished children. The mean age of children was 2.50 + 0.98. There were 129(43.9%) male children and 165(56.1%) female children. Out of malnourished children, there were 31(19.6%) mildly undеr-wеіght, 9(5.7%) moderately undеr wеіght & 3(1.9%) were severely underweight. Furthermore, 134 mothers1of well-nоurіshеd children, 55(40.4%) mildly1undеrwеіght, 40(30.9%) moderately1undеrwеіght & 27(19.9%) were severely1underweight. There were 145 mothers had normal Hb and 149 mother’s anemic. Practical Implication: The purpose of this research was to determine if there is a correlation between children malnutrition and the health of their mothers. The findings of this study may aid in bringing the attention of the entire family, and notably the mothers, to the treatment of children suffering from severe acute malnutrition. Children can be protected from developing malnutrition through early diagnosis and treatment. Conclusion: Findings of our study showed that many children having history of mother malnutrition were undernourished. Study concluded that malnutrition was not problem of only mothers; it was also a big problem for children as well as whole family. In addition to caring for the malnourished child who has been admitted, the underlying causes of malnutrition must be identified and addressed if the problem is to be resolved for the entire family.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to analyze factors that affect the nutritional status of children aged 6-23 months. The data used were acquired from a survey conducted at mother and child health services (‘posyandu’), daycares, and households in four districts in Padang City, West Sumatera. In this study, variables that are hypothesized to contribute to nutritional status are sex, birth weight, family income, number of family dependents, exclusive breastfeeding status, mother's employment status, education level, knowledge and nutritional behavior. Data analysis was done by using tree structure analysis namely CART method. It is showed that variables which significantly affect the nutritional status of children aged 6-23 months are mother’s education level, knowledge and nutritional behavior. Children with low mother’s education level have higher prevalence of severely underweight and underweight when mother’s knowledge is poor or enough. in the group of children whose mothers have higher level of education, the variable that has a significant influence on child’s nutritional status is mother's nutritional behavior. In the group of children whose mothers have higher level of education, the variable that has a significant influence on child’s nutritional status is mother's nutritional behavior, the prevalence of overweight is likely to be high in children whose mothers nutritional behaviour is not good. Therefore, intervention from related parties is needed to implement programs for improving mother's knowledge about nutrition that will lead to better child’s nutritional status.

Full textAbstract:
Dietary diversity is a measure of the number of individual foods or food groups consumed in a given period of time. Consumption of more diverse diets is one of the many approaches to improve the nutrition situation. Malnutrition is linked with quality and quantity of dietary intake. A higher dietary diversity has been associated with better nutritional status in an individual. The present study was designed to assess the dietary diversity of the mother and her child, their nutritional status, and any association between these. The sample comprised of mothers (n=100) and their children aged, 2-5 years (n=100), residing in Shakurpur, an urban slum of Delhi, India. Data on background information, obstetric history, household characteristics, and hygienic practices followed by the mother for herself and for her child, morbidity profile of mother and child, immunization, child feeding practices and birth information, were collected. Anthropometric measurements were taken for both mother and child and were analysed using Anthro plus software MDD-W (2016). Moderate wasting, underweight, and stunting were observed in 5%, 18%, and 20% of children respectively, as compared to severe wasting (4%), severe underweight (4%), and severe stunting (10%). No significant difference was observed in the height and weight of boys and girls. A greater proportion of mothers of pre-schoolers were either pre-obese (20%) or obese (9%) than underweight (3%) as per WHO classification, while a little over half (68%) the mothers were of normal weight. The mother’s nutritional status was significantly associated with all the indicators of her child’s nutritional status (p=0.00). More than 50% of the study population (both mothers and children) were consuming ≥5 food groups. Inadequacy in dietary diversity was more in mothers (49%) than children (42%). An association between maternal dietary diversity and child dietary diversity (χ2= 14.577, p=0.000) was observed. However, no association was found between dietary diversity of either the child or the mother and the nutritional status of the children (p>0.05). Thus, the present study showed that the diet of the mother and her child as well as the nutritional status of a mother and her child are associated. This re- emphasizes the fact that a mother and child are very closely related.

Background: National surveys have shown that in India even in families where women were normally nourished or over-nourished prevalence of under-nutrition in preschool children was high. The present study was taken up to assess the magnitude of intra-family differences in nutritional status between preschool children, their mothers and other women in the family and explore factors responsible for these differences.Methods: Nutritional status of pre-school children (height for age, weight for age and BMI for age) their mothers and other women (BMI) in urban low middle income group families were assessed. Intra-family differences in mother child pairs (4102); mother other women pairs (816); other woman and child pairs (981) and child-child pairs (941) were computed.Results: Stunting, underweight and wasting rates were higher in children of undernourished mothers as compared to normally nourished mothers. However even in children of over-nourished mothers stunting and underweight rates were high. If the elder child was stunted, underweight or wasted, the stunting, underweight and wasting rates in the younger children were higher. Prevalence of under-nutrition (BMI<18.5) in mothers was lower and over-nutrition was higher in other women. Over-nutrition rates in other women were higher if the mother was over-nourished.Conclusions: In view of the substantial intra-family differences in nutritional status it is imperative to operationalize universal screening of all pre-school children and women for early detection of wasting and over-nutrition and initiate appropriate interventions.

Full textAbstract:
The toddler period is a very important period and needs serious attention. During this period the life process of growth and development takes place very rapidly, namely physical growth and psychomotor, mental and social development. The nutritional status of children under five is an important thing that must be known by every parent. Mothers play an important role in supporting efforts to overcome nutritional problems, especially in terms of family nutrition, starting from food preparation, selection of food ingredients, to the food menu. Mothers who have good nutritional status will give birth to well-nourished children. Lack of parental nutrition and health knowledge, especially mothers is one of the causes of malnutrition in children under five. Mother's knowledge about nutrition is what the mother knows about healthy food for a certain age group and how the mother chooses, processes and prepares food properly. The aim is to determine the relationship between the mother's level of knowledge and the pattern of complementary feeding of breast milk on the nutritional status of toddlers 6-12 months in the working area of the Rantang Health Center, Sei Putih Tengah Village, Medan Petisah District, North Sumatra. This type of research is an analytic method with a cross sectional approach. The sample in this study were all children aged 6-12 months inti the Rantang Health Center, namely 54 children. Bivariate analysis used the Chi-Square (?2) statistical test. The results of the statistical test obtained a p value of 0.002 (? <0.05), which means that there is a relationship, namely the relationship between maternal nutritional knowledge regarding the pattern of giving complementary foods and the nutritional status of toddlers aged 6-24 months

This paper explores the dual form of malnutrition existing in the same household i.e. occurrence of both under-nutrition and overnutrition together and determining the adequacy of food consumption in mother-child pairs.30 mother-child pairs were included in the study. Nutritional status was assessed by WHO criterion. 50% of mothers were aged between 25-30 years, 36.7% had graduated. The prevalence of overweight mothers-underweight child pair was found to be 23%. Significant difference was reported between the intake adequacy of cereals, vegetables, fats and oils, carbohydrate, invisible fat, visible fat, total fat and fiber, among the mother-child pairs. Also MAR (Mean Adequacy Ratio) of nutrients revealed that mothers had significantly better nutritional adequacy than children (p=0.01). Therefore, mothers had a better nutritional status when compared with children. Dual form of malnutrition exists within the same household and the food intake adequacy of the child is influenced by mother’s food intake. Key words: malnutrition, dual-burden, mother-child pair, nutrient adequacy, nutrition transition

This study aimed to investigate the correspondence between the nutritional status of children aged 7-10 years and their mothers' perceptions of their children's weight. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 1,282 children. Weight and height were measured and classified according to International Obesity Taskforce (IOTF) criteria. Mothers' perceptions were assessed based on four possible conditions. The Kappa test (k) was used to evaluate the correspondence between nutritional status and mothers' perceptions and followed by regression analyses. The prevalence of overweight and underweight was 23.2% and 5.7% respectively. Half of mothers reported that their children were "underweight"; 61.2% said that their children were "normal"; 11.8% said that their children were "above normal weight"; and 1.1% referred to their offspring as "very much above normal weight". Highest and lowest correspondence between nutritional status and mother´s perception were: underweight and much above normal weight, respectively (k = 0.217, p < 0.000). Gender and ethnicity showed significant association with the mother's perception, even after controlling for other variables. Low correspondence levels between nutritional status and mother's perception were observed, especially among obese children.

BACKGROUND: Toddler nutritional status is an indicator of toddler growth. Basic Health Research, 2010 states: 5.4% malnutrition status and 13.0% malnutrition. In 2013, the proportion of malnutrition status was 5.7% and malnutrition was 13.9%, from the target of 19.6%, and in 2018, the proportion of malnutrition was 3.9% and malnutrition was 13.8% of the target of 17.7%. AIM: The research objective to determine the effect of maternal knowledge and attitudes on the nutritional status of children under five. METHODS: This study was cross-sectional study design. Population 135 and a sample of 94 people. Sampling technique: Simple random sampling. Independent variable: Knowledge and attitudes of the mother, while the dependent variable: Nutritional status of children. Data collection techniques: Questionnaires and baby scales. To analyze the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable, multiple logistic regression with a significance of 0.05 was used. RESULTS: Knowledge of mother Group b affected 3.2% with poor nutritional status and 34% affected good nutritional status. Mother’s attitude affects 1.1% of children under five with poor nutritional status and affects 16% of children with good nutritional status. From the results of the analysis using multiple logistic regression, it was found that the effect of the knowledge variable on nutritional status was 0.000 (<0.05), while the effect of attitude on nutritional status was 0.000 (<0.05). CONCLUSION: There is an influence of knowledge and attitudes of mothers of children under five on the nutritional status of children under five. SUGGESTION: To reduce the incidence of malnutrition and malnutrition in Indonesia is to increase the knowledge and attitudes of mothers under five in providing menus according to the needs and age of the child.

Background: Preschoolers are prone to nutritional problems because their health is still unstable while their nutritional needs are increasing. Based on RISKESDAS data for Lebak Regency in 2018, the prevalence of under-fives with malnutrition was 19.6%, normal 71.91%, and more than 8.49%. The role of the mother in nurturing, caring for, and sharpening the child during its growth and development is very important, especially as a regulator of nutritional intake which is related to the mother's education level, mother's occupation, family income level, and mother's level of nutrition knowledge. Method: This study uses a quantitative research type with correlation analysis. The population of this study was all mothers with preschool-age children in Kalanganyar District, Lebak, Banten. 50 samples were taken through quota sampling. Data collection was carried out through interviews using questionnaires, and direct measurements of BB and TB. Data analysis was performed with the chi-square test. Results: 64% of mothers have a high level of education, 92% of mothers do not work, and 72% of preschoolers have normal nutritional status. The statistical test results for the relationship between the mother's education level and the nutritional status of preschoolers obtained p=0.004 (p<0.05), while for the relationship between the mother's employment status and the nutritional status of preschoolers it was found p=0.079 (p>0.05). Conclusion: There is a relationship between the mother's education level and the nutritional status of preschoolers and there is no relationship between work status and the nutritional status of preschoolers in Kalanganyar District, Lebak, Banten. In the view of Islam, Allah SWT forbade mankind not to leave weak offspring.

The cause of malnutrition is not only caused by lack of food intake but also because of infection. Another factor that is estimated to influence nutritional status is parenting. This study aims to find out the effect of mother class programs and child preschool toward mother's knowledge, parenting, children's nutritional intake, and children nutritional status. The hypothesis of this study is the intervention of the mother class program and pre-school plays better than the intervention of the mother class only or toward the mother's knowledge and nutritional status of the child. The chosen sample was children aged 2-6 years the inclusion and exclusion criterias. This study uses a quasi-experimental design. The sample was divided into 3 groups, mother group class, pre-school and mother and child play class. The results showed 73.3% of female research subjects, an average age of 55.84 months, 13.3% diarrhea, 2.2% ARI, 66.7%, coughs, 86.7% colds/flu, and 55.6% of children were permissively care. At the end of the treatment an in body weight increase, height of the child, the greatest nutritional status occurred in pre- school. At the end of the treatment the intake of nutrients in energy, protein, the fast is greatest fast is pre school group for the greatest intake of carbohydrates in the maternal class group. Health and nutrition education needs to be carried out on an ongoing basis to maintain the spirit of the mother to carry out health care for children and other families. It is necessary to find a form of playing patterns that can make a child enthusiasm for learning.

Toddlers are children who are in the age range 0-5 years. Every toddler has a different development. In 2018, in Indonesia there was an increase in the percentage of very short and short toddlers, namely 11.5% and 19.3%, while it is known that in the previous year the percentage of very short toddlers was 9.8% and short toddlers was 19.8%. One of the causes of developmental delays/deviations in children is inadequate nutrition by the mother. Empowerment of mothers is needed to increase the knowledge and ability of mothers in fulfilling their children's nutrition. The purpose of this study was to obtain an overview related to research on efforts to empower mothers in improiving nutritional status and development that had been carried out by previous researchers. This research uses literature review method. Researchers analyzed 15 journals consisting of 10 national journals and 5 international journals and were divided into 2 types, namely 6 empowering journals and 9 journals discussing the relationship between nutritional status and under- five development which were obtained from the Google Schoolar, Pubmed and Science Direct databases by formulating inclusion and exclusion criteria based on the PEOS formula.The results of the study from 15 journals showed that 6 journals had the effect of mother empowerment on the nutritional status of toddlers, 7 journals proved that there was a relationship between nutritional status and toddler development. and 2 journals whose results do not show a relationship between nutritional status and toddler development. The conclusion is that empowering mothers can be one of the efforts to improve the nutritional status and development of toddlers Keywords: Mother’s empowerment, Nutritional status and Toddler Development

A mother's knowledge of nutrition affects their behavior in rearing their children. A factor that influences the nutritional status of children is a mother's behavior in choosing and providing food. A mother's behavior affects her ability to meet the family's food supply, consume food based on the right nutritional rules, choose the type of food, and prioritize the food for her family. Mother's poor behavior can be caused by her insufficient level of knowledge about nutrition and insufficient ability to apply it in daily life. This research aims to determine the effect of pocketbooks on the nutritional knowledge of mothers of toddlers whose nutritional condition is below the red line. This research employed a pre-experimental design, namely one group pretest-posttest. The research subjects were mothers of children whose nutritional condition is below the red line. Moreover, this study employed a total sampling technique with inclusion criteria, and the number of samples was 28 people. The statistical test using the independent T-test has obtained a p-value = 0.000 (< 0.05). Meanwhile, the measurement results show that the question of "how to deal with children without appetite" gets the fewest answers. This result shows that the mothers still do not understand how to deal with children without appetite. However, one mother has the most correct answers stating that "sample food for children should adjust their age." This answer means that the mothers already understand sample food for children according to their age.

Childhood is a time of active growth in terms of physical size, mental, emotional and psychological development. Normal growth is dependent on adequate nutrition and encompasses major transformations from birth to adulthood. Socio-economic status and behaviors of family members, environmental factors are other determinants of nutritional status of under five year children. This research was conducted to assess the factors associated with nutritional status of under five year children in Rupandehi District of Nepal. This was a community based Cross-sectional study. It was conducted in Rupandehi. Two hundred ninety two children were selected using proportionate random sampling technique. For collecting the data, selected households were visited by enumerators for two months from January to February 2008. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 12. The proportion of the participants was 51.7% male and 48.7%female. Nearly half of the children (45.9%) of the children aged 36- 59 months were under weight according to Indian Academy of Pediatrics (NCHS/WHO standard). Fifty percent of the children born to illiterate mothers were found underweight. Majority of the children (65%) were found stunted according to Waterlow’s classification. More than the half the children (57.75%) were underweight who were born by mother less than 18 years of age where as 75% were underweight born by mother aged above 35 years of age. However the association between age of the mother at the birth of the child and nutritional status is not statistically significant. More than half of the children were found underweight and Nearly 2/3rd of the children were found stunted. To get better nutritional status of children, greater emphasis should be given to under five years children with community based awareness programs to mother and care givers.

Abstract
Nutritional state of toddler is one measure of the success of health development, therefore nutrition of toddler need attention. The government has been carrying out activities to improve family nutrition known as the Applied Nutrition Program or the Family Nutrition Program Improvement Effort which provides practical nutrition education to families through the monitoring of infant growth in integrated posyandu, and a whole basic health care package. Factors affecting nutritional status can be distinguished on direct and indirect factors. Direct Factor determined by dietary intake and infectious disease, while the indirect factors include the availability of food in the family, child care, health care and environmental conditions. The purpose: of the study to determine the relationship between parenting mothers with nutritional status of toddler, with dependent variable is nutritional status of children and the independent variables included maternal parenting practices how to feed, how to care for infants, mothers and toddlers hygiene practices as well as external variables include education, employment, economic status and mother's education. Method: uses a cross-sectional study carried out in health center sub-district of Pancoran Mas Depok in June 2011. Samples were mothers with toddlers and collected directly by using the questionnaire. Result: Multivariatble analysis showed a significant relationship between the practice of caring for infants with nutritional status. The mothers who had a bad practice of care for a toddler will have the risk 2 times on incidence of poor nutritional status in infants. In conclusions, the practice of caring for infants and mother knowledge affect the nutritional status of toddler. Statistically there is no significant association between feeding practices, hygiene practices of mothers and infants, maternal education, maternal employment and economic status on the incidence of malnutrition

Child under nutrition due to household food insecurity remains critical issues in many households in Ethiopia. Literature in nutrition knowledge and practice of mothers and the nutritional status of their infants is scanty. This study aimed to assess the nutritional status of six to 23-month-oldchildren, mothers’ knowledge, attitude and practice of child nutrition and household food security status in a semi-urban and a rural kebeles. A community based cross-sectional study was undertaken in semi-urban and rural kebeles in Tehuledere Woreda (district) to assess household food security and nutritional status of six to 23-month children. A total of 245 mother-child pairs were selected randomly from the two kebeles. Anthropometric indices were used to determine the nutritional status of under-two children. Child age, weight and height were measured and used to calculate weight-for-age, weight-for-height and height-for-age Z-scores. Composite Index of Anthropometric Failure (ciaf) was calculated to determine total malnutrition. Household food insecurity access scale (hfias) was used to assess food security status. Structured questionnaires were used to collect data on mothers’ knowledge, attitude and practice in child nutrition, food diversity and child feeding. Data were statistically analyzed. Stunting was noted in 7.5% and 17% of under-two children in the urban and rural kebeles, respectively. Similar levels of thinness (6%) were observed in both kebeles. There were more under-weight children in the semi-urban (5.2%) than in the rural (3.6%) kebeles. Chronic energy deficiency was noted in 20% and 15% of the children in semi-urban and rural kebeles, respectively. ciaf was higher in children in the semi-urban kebele (48%) than in the rural kebele (31%). A small proportion of study households were food secure (17.9%). The rest were either mildly (54.4%) or moderately (27.8%) food insecure. Average knowledge of child nutrition among mothers in the semi-urban and rural kebeles was very low (about 34% and 37%, respectively).The low anthropometric measurements of the children in this study could be due to poor food diversity, insufficient food intake, and poor nutritional knowledge and practice of mothers. Creating awareness in child feeding practices and diet diversity is recommended.

Objective: According to the National Health Survey in 2013, nutritional problems in Indonesia are still a concern, and caries is the most prevalent dental disease. Primary dentition is developed during a mother’s pregnancy period. Thus, mothers’ nutritional status during pregnancy could determine the health of their children’s primary dentition. This study objective was to analyze the relationship between mothers’ nutritional status and dental caries in their children’s primary teeth.Methods: In total, 281 children under 5-year-old were selected from a health screening in Depok Sub-District, West Java. Information about maternal nutritional status was collected through the mother and child’s health book. Information about dental caries was collected through clinical examinations using the dmft index.Result: The prevalence of mothers with poor nutritional status was 22.8%, and 55.2% of their children had caries. The occurrence of dental caries in primary dentition between children of mothers with poor and good nutritional status was significantly different (p<0.001). The likelihood of getting caries was 1.85 times higher (95% confidence interval: 1.5–2.2) among children of mothers with poor nutritional status than among children of mothers with a good nutritional status.Conclusion: Children of mothers with a poor nutritional status would likely present with dental caries and had a higher risk of dental caries compared to children of mothers with a good nutritional status.

ABSTRACT Objective: To verify the presence of depression, age, level of schooling, occupation, marital status, number of children and nutritional status (maternal and of the child) in mothers of overweight and eutrophic children and relate the data to mother/child bonding. Methods: A total of 120 mothers of children aged up to 10 years participated; 30 of them were overweight and 30 were eutrophic (low-income bracket); 30 were overweight and 30 eutrophic (high-income bracket). The control group was composed of eutrophic children paired according to sex, age, level of schooling, and social condition. Data collection was made through interviews. The assessment instruments were: Mother/Child Bonding Assessment Protocol and Beck Depression Inventory. The nutritional classification was defined by calculation of the body mass index, as per the curves of the World Health Organization. For statistics, McNemar, χ2, and Fisher's exact tests were used. A 5% level of rejection of the null hypothesis was set. Results: There was no significant result between mother/child bonding and the variables studied, or between the presence of depression and level of schooling, marital status, occupation, and maternal nutritional status. Nevertheless, mothers of eutrophic children (high-income bracket) showed less depression than mothers of eutrophic children (low-income bracket). Mothers with three or more children displayed more depression than mothers with less than three children. Mothers under 30 years of age showed more depression than mothers aged 30 years or older. Conclusion: There was no significant result between mother/child bonding and the variables studied, but the bond was compromised in all mothers of the sample. There was a significant result regarding the presence of depression.

AbstractObjectiveTo assess the relative importance of socioeconomic and maternal/prenatal determinants of the nutritional situation of children < 6 years old in an urban African area after several years of economic crisis.DesignCross-sectional cluster sample survey.SettingBrazzaville, capital city of the Congo.SubjectsInformation on socioeconomic characteristics was gathered from a random sample of 1368 households by house visits and anthropometric measurements were performed using standardized procedures on preschool children (n=2373) and their mothers (n=1512).ResultsThe influence of socioeconomic factors on the nutritional status of children, taking into account adjustment variables such as mother's age and child's age and sex was assessed. For stunting, as well as for the mean height-for-age index among children, the main determinants were economic level of the household (P=0.048 and P=0.004, respectively), schooling of the mother (P=0.004 and P < 10−3) and living in the peripheral district (P=0.005 and P < 10−3). The influence of socioeconomic determinants on weight-for-age and wasting was less straightforward. When adjusting, in addition, for maternal and prenatal factors (mother's height and body mass index (BMI) and birth weight), most of the effects of the socioeconomic determinants on the nutritional status of children persisted somewhat, but the effect of the economic level on the stunting became not significant (P=0.11). The mean BMI of mothers appeared to be related to the economic level of the household (P < 10−4), to the marital status (P=0.01) and to the occupation of the mother (P < 10−4).ConclusionsAmong the socioeconomic determinants of malnutrition in children, some, such as economic level of the household or schooling of the mother, seem to act mainly through prenatal factors, whereas others, mainly dwelling district characteristics, seem to influence more directly the children's nutritional status.

If in less than 2 years the mother is pregnant again, not only will the mother's attention to the child decrease, but the breast milk (ASI) that the child desperately needs will stop coming out. There are many studies that prove that many children suffer from nutritional disorders because their mothers are pregnant again or their new siblings have been born, so that the care for these children is not optimal. Based on observations made on 10 toddlers there are 2 toddlers who have poor nutritional status and 8 toddlers who have good nutrition. After conducting interviews with mothers of under-fives who have malnutrition, they are less than 2 years apart from birth. This study aims to determine the relationship between birth spacing and nutritional status of children under five at posyandu Glenmore Banyuwangi. This type of quantitative research with correlation analytic. The design of this research is cross sectional. The sampling technique used was accidental sampling, the population in this study were all mothers with toddlers totaling 221 people with a sample of 86 people. The results showed that out of 73 toddlers with birth spacing >2 years, 71 people (97.3%) had normal nutritional status and 2 people (2.7%) had obese nutritional status, from 13 toddlers with birth spacing 2 years, 12 people (92.3%) underweight nutritional status and 1 person (7.7%) normal nutritional status. Based on the results of the chi-square test using a computerized system from raw data obtained through a questionnaire, it shows the results with p value = 0.00 then Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted, meaning that there is a relationship between birth spacing and nutritional status of toddlers at Posyandu Glenmore Banyuwangi in 2019/2020.

Nutrition is a cornerstone that affects and defines the health of all people, rich and poor. Conversely, malnutrition makes all more vulnerable to disease and premature death. The aim of this study was to assess the associated factors with malnutrition among less than five years children in Khartoum State, Sudan. A clinic base study funded by Saudi Red Crescent Authority was conducted on 100 children under five years who visit the health facility in the study area. Malnutrition was indicated by stunting, wasting and underweight. A structured questionnaire was also used to obtain the required data of the study participants and their mothers. The results shows that, about 8% of male children were wasted while 4% of female children were wasted. There was no significant association between sex of the child and nutritional status. Also, among under five years children’s mothers, wasting was the most common malnutrition problem (12%). On the levels of education results indicate that wasting was higher among children of educated mothers and housewives mothers there was significant associations between mother education and child wasting. Also there were an obvious differences between some socio-economic factors and malnutrition parameters, but there were no significant association between sex of the child and nutritional status and between mother education and child wasting, also between married status, employment and education of mothers and weight for age indicator and also no relationship between family size and nutritional status. But there was a significant association between sex and weight for age indicator. This assessment should be considered seriously before the other relationships between socio-economic factors and nutritional status became significant.

OBJECTIVE: Nutrition problems in Indonesia are multidimensional problems that are influenced by several factors including economic, education, social culture, agriculture, and health. Nutrition problems reflect economic, political, and social crises as the root causes of malnutrition. This study formulates a health promotion model to improve the nutritional status of children under five years old.
METHOD: This type of research is quantitative with survey design and cross-sectional approach.
RESULT: This study produced a risk of children under five yearsexperiencing poor nutritional status with a history of illness.The risk of children under five yearsexperiencing undernourished nutritional status with strong health workers-cadre-family partnerships and strong family support. The risk of children under five years experiencing wasting nutritional status increases with a history of diarrheal disease. The risk of children under five yearsexperiencing wasting nutritional status decreases with strong health workers-cadre-family partnerships and strong family support. The risk of a child under five yearsexperiencing a stunting nutritional status increases with a history of diarrheal disease. The risk of children under five years old experiencing stunting nutritional status decreases with strong health workers-cadre-family partnerships and strong family support.
CONCLUSION: Nutritional status of children under five years (malnutrition, wasting and stunting) is affected directly and indirectly through the variables of family income, mother's knowledge, attitudes towards nutrition problems, environmental sanitation, social capital, health workers-cadre-family partnerships, family support, history of diarrhea disease and mother'seducation.

Introduction: Nutritional status of children is one of the major predictors of child survivors and a proxy indicator for assessing the entire population health status. Despite the various efforts, malnutrition among children is remaining as a major public health problem in Bangladesh. Maternal employment status exerts strong influence over child nutrition status. Aim: To find out the effect of maternal employment on nutritional status of 0-59 month-old children attending Malabika CWC at Dhaka Cantonment. Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted at ‘Malabika’ Child Welfare Centre at Dhaka Cantonment from 01 March 2012 to 30 June 2012. A total of 110 children were selected conveniently. Data were collected from mothers by face to face interview and analyzed by SPSS 19. Association was assessed with Chi square test. The prevalence of malnutrition assessed by different indices of nutritional status based on Weight for Age Z-score, Height for Age Z-score and Weight for Height Z –Score following the WHO and NCHS guidelines and cut-off points. Results: The prevalence of stunting, underweight and wasting was found to be 61.4%, 56.3% and 61.3% among the children of employed mother respectively. These all 3 prevalence are higher than the children of unemployed mothers. The association between nutritional status of under-five children of employed and non-employed mothers was found statistically significant (p<0.05). Nutritional status of employed mothers ’children were found worsen than unemployed mothers’ children. Conclusion: This study provides an account of still high prevalence of malnutrition which trade-off between mothers’ employment and children’s nutritional status. Addressing factors like family size, duration of breast feeding, empowering women, monthly family income, mothers’ education are key efforts to reduce child’s malnutrition. JAFMC Bangladesh.

Development of any nation is estimated through child health condition. In particular, the fourth millennium development goal out of eight is to reduce the mortality rate. The target set under this goal was to reduce by two-third, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of child mortality. Maternal BMI is closely associated with child nutritional status. Weak mother having low BMI has low nutrition status which effect child weight. Healthy and balance food of mothers have positive effect on their child. Underweight mother can have impaired and poor growing kids. This study presents impact of some socio-economic demographic and maternal health related factors on health status of children in selected South Asian countries i.e. Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal. The study used micro data from demographic and health survey (DHS) of Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal. Multinomial logistic regression results revealed that mother education, mother working status, mother health, availability of safe drinking water, family size and vaccination have significant effect on child health. Mother's education is positively associated with healthy child. Working mothers are more likely to have healthy child. Weak and obese children are positively associated with malnourished and overweight mothers respectively. Small family size has positive impact on weak child health. Vaccination and availability of improved and safe water are positively associated with child health.

PurposeThe first thousand days of life is a critical momentum where children from the age of 2 years need the best nutrition for brain development. This study examined the effect of appropriate timing of supplementary feeding and vitamin A consumption on nutritional status of children below age of twoMethodThe design of this study is cross sectional. The sample in this study is based on data of the Nutritional Status Monitoring 2017 which is amounted to 27.208, consisting of pregnant women who took iron folate supplementation (TTD); mother gave early breastfeeding initiation, exclusive breastfeeding, and supplementary food; children who received vitamin A; and children who get height measurement by age.ResultsThe odds of mothers not providing supplementary feeding to children aged 7-23 months have a short nutritional status 1,137 times greater than mothers who provide supplementary feeding. While the Vitamin A variable has odds ratio 0,659 significantly, the odds of children not getting Vitamin A have short nutritional status 0, 659 times greater than children who received Vitamin A. Conclusion: The risk of stunting occurs in a period of 6 to 24 months due to the period for growth in height. Health workers at the primary health care should inform mothers to provide supplementary food and vitamin A at the 6-24 month of age.

AbstractObjectiveThe objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of vitamin A deficiency (VAD) in children under 6 years old in China and to identify risk groups for VAD.DesignA cross-sectional survey was conducted in 14 provinces from coastal, inland and western geographic areas in China.SettingOne city (urban) and two counties (rural) were randomly selected from each province as survey areas.SubjectsAbout 200 children aged 0–6 years were randomly selected in each survey area. A blood sample was collected from each child. Data on sociodemographics and nutrition were obtained by interview of the mother or principal caregiver. Fluorescence microanalysis was used to analyse serum retinol concentration.ResultsVAD (serum retinol < 0.7 μmol l− 1) was observed in 957 out of 7826 children aged 0–6 years (12.2% of the entire study population), whereas severe VAD (serum retinol < 0.35 μmol l− 1) was found in 39 children (0.5%). The highest prevalences of VAD at >1 year of age were observed among children of mothers with minority ethnicity (22.7%) or poor education (19.8%) and in the poor western area (17.4%).ConclusionsVAD is a nutritional problem in children in China. Children living in the poor western area, having a mother with minority ethnicity or a mother with poor education have a high risk of VAD.

AbstractObjectiveTo study infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices and their association with nutritional status among young children.DesignA community-based, cross-sectional study was carried out in ten states of India, using a multistage random sampling method. Anthropometric measurements such as length/height and weight were conducted and nutritional assessment was done using the WHO child growth standards.SettingNational Nutrition Monitoring Bureau survey, 2011–2012.ParticipantsChildren aged <3 years and their mothers.ResultsOnly 36 % of infants received breast-feeding within an hour of birth and 50 % were exclusively breast-fed up to 6 months. Prevalence of underweight, stunting and wasting was 38, 41 and 22 %, respectively. The chance of undernutrition among <3-year-old children was significantly higher among those from scheduled caste/scheduled tribe communities, the lowest-income group, with illiterate mothers and lack of sanitary latrine. Among infants, the chance of undernutrition was significantly higher among low-birth-weight babies, and among children whose mother had not consumed iron–folic acid tablets during pregnancy. Immunization practices and minimum dietary diversity were observed to be associated with undernutrition among 12–23-month-old children.ConclusionsUndernutrition is still an important public health problem in India and observed to be associated with low socio-economic status, illiteracy of mother, low birth weight and dietary diversity. Improving socio-economic and literacy status of mothers can help in improving maternal nutrition during pregnancy and thus low birth weight. Also, improving knowledge of mothers about IYCF practices will help in improving children’s nutritional status.

Exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months followed by complementary feeding along with breastfeeding is crucial for proper growth and development of a child. This study aims to determine the factors that influence the feeding practice of mothers having the children 6-23 months in Kaski district and to correlate the relationship between complementary feeding practices and nutritional status of children 6-23 months. A community-based cross sectional analytical study was conducted among 453 mothers having the children 6-23 months, applying cluster sampling technique and using the structured questionnaire, salter scale weighing machine, stadiometer and sakir tape were used as research tools. From all respondents 67% started complementary feeding at 6-8 months of age. The practices of minimum meal frequency, minimum dietary diversity, and minimum acceptable diet were 93.8%, 45.9% and 42.4% among mothers of 6–23 months aged children, respectively. More than half of children have worst feeding practices. Types of family, mother’s education, father’s education, mother’s occupation were significantly associated with feeding practices. In term of nutritional status, 62.26% of children were stunted, 7.3% of children were underweight and 3.4% of children were wasted. Feeding practices were significantly associated with children nutritional status based on wasting and mid upper arm circumference. Overall in Kaski district, it was found that majority of mother had poor feeding practices which contribute to the under nutrition. Nutrition messages on Infant and Young Child Feeding Practices (IYCF) should emphasis dietary diversity and frequency of feeding for all the children.

The description of the nutritional status of children under five represents the degree of public health. Indonesia is experiencing multiple nutritional problems, namely the problem of undernutrition has not been completely resolved, the problem of overnutrition (obesity) appears. Nutritional status is influenced by unbalanced energy intake and infectious diseases. This is due to the level of education, knowledge, parenting patterns that are inappropriate and bad environmental sanitation. The biggest problem faced by the community is the low level of knowledge and skills of mothers about nutrition. This study aims to determine the relationship between mother's level of knowledge about nutrition and the nutritional status of children under five in Lembah Sari Village, West Lombok. This type of research is an observational study with a cross sectional approach. The sample in this study were mothers who have toddlers (aged 6-60 months) and their babies, totaling 55 people.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Women from low-income settings are considered as nutritionally vulnerable. This risk is augmented during pregnancy and lactation as food nutrient requirement increases. Lactating mothers are subjected to nutritional stresses which are further exaggerated by frequent pregnancies resulting in high maternal mortality and health risk for children. Attainment of millennium development goals (MDG) by our country is largely dependent on the health of mothers and children, which in turn is influenced by diet. Objective of this study was to assess the nutritional status and associated factors of lactating women. To assess diet pattern of lactating womenMethods: Cross-sectional study carried out for a period of three month by house to house visit in the urban field practice area of SDMCMSH, Dharwad. Taking prevalence of malnutrition among lactating mothers (15-49 years) as 50, sample size was calculated to be 100 using n=4pq/d×d. Data analysed using the IBMSPSS 20.0.Results: Majority of mothers were housewives and in the age group of 20-25 year. >80% of the participants did not take additional meals during lactation. >60% of women from low socioeconomic state were malnourished and >55% of women from high socioeconomic state but working is malnourished.Conclusions: Dietary intakes of the lactating women are insufficient compared to national recommendations. Low socioeconomic condition and working status of mother are important predictors of malnourishment. Effective nutritional education of families and communities is recommended to improve dietary practices and result in adequate nutrition.
