Stunting is a disorder of growth and development of children due to chronic malnutrition and repeated infections, which are characterized by their length or height being below standard. Malnutrition-free children are a commitment with the world, including Indonesia. The international world's commitment, contained in the second point of the Sustainable Development Goals, emphasizes the importance of "ending hunger, achieving food security and improving nutrition, and promoting sustainable agriculture". To achieve this goal, tackling the problem of malnutrition, including malnutrition, needs to be improved. Toddlers with malnutrition have short and long term impacts, in the form of growth and development disorders, including impaired cognitive function, morbidity, risk of degenerative diseases in the future and death. Stunting can be prevented early on during pregnancy, one of the interventions is good nutrition during pregnancy. Knowledge of nutrition during pregnancy isimportant for pregnant women to prevent stunted children from being born. Many pregnant women do not pay attention to nutritional intake during pregnancy so that their child can be born with stunting. Therefore, every pregnant woman must know about good nutritional intake during pregnancy to prevent stunting.

In India, around 43% of its children under the age of five are malnourished or undernourished. Malnutrition is more common in India than in sub-Saharan Africa. It is estimated that one in every three malnourished children in the world live in India. The Millions of Indian children are deprived of their right to survival, health nutrition, education and safe drinking water. It is reported that 63% of them go to bread hungry, 53% suffer from malnutrition. Deaths in children constitute more than 34% of total deaths in India. Seven out of ten of these deaths are due to respiratory infections, diarrhoea and malnutrition. There is high under five morbidity and mortality in India. hence a study was conducted from 06Feb. 2019 to 17June 2019 to assess the Impact Of Structured Educational Programme On Knowledge Regarding Malnutrition& Its Prevention Among Mothers of Under Five Children Residing In Selected Rural Area At Sikar City (Rajasthan). A pre-experimental, one group pre-test, post-test design was used without a control group on 400 Mothers of under Five Children. The technique used in the study is Non probability convenient sampling technique and result hows that knowledge regarding malnutrition & its prevention among mothers of under five children who have participate in the study in which 263(65.8%) had Poor knowledge score, 119 (29.8%) had Average knowledge score, and 18 (4.5%)had Good knowledge score. After the implementation of Structured Educational Programme, there is a significant increase level of knowledge of mothers of under five children regarding malnutrition & its prevention.

Malnutrition in children under 5 years is a major public health problem in developing countries. Malnutrition complex comprises of under-nutrition including multiple conditions like acute, chronic malnutrition, micronutrient deficiencies and nutrition related to obesity. Therefore, it is of interest to report data on the individualized nutritional counselling on nutritional status among mild to moderately malnourished children aged 2 – 5 years at one, three and six month follow up. Their dietary habits will help to determine the aetiology of mild/moderate malnutrition.150 Children attending outpatient department of the Department of Paediatrics of D Y Patil Medical College and admitted with mild/moderate malnutrition were included in the study after taking informed consent from their parents. The children were randomly allocated into 4 groups (group 1 – 4). The groups consisted of children where dedicated nutritional counselling was provided at 1 month, 1 and 3 month follow up and where-in no dedicated counselling was provided. A diet chart was provided with counselling. Group 4 followed up with routine care without any dietary intervention. Detailed dietary, socio economic history, clinical examination with anthropometry was done followed-up at 1, 3, 6 months from date of inclusion. Majority (57.3%) belonged to lower socio-economic class according to Kuppuswamy scale. The mean birth weight was 2.4 kg, age 34.5 months and age of weaning 7.6 months. Data shows that 70% children had mild malnutrition and 30% moderate malnutrition. At 6 month follow up amongst 105 children with mild malnutrition, 82 still had mild malnutrition, 4 normal, 19 had moderate malnutrition. Under-five childhood malnutrition is highly prevalent in poor socioeconomic strata of the society. Nutritional counselling provided by trained healthcare providers in existing settings are effective in improving nutritional status, daily calorie/protein intake, prevention of malnutrition. Prevention/treatment of co-existing illness bears equal importance.

The nutritional status of children is an important thing that every parent must know, because disturbances that occur due to unbalanced nutrition will cause irreversible damage. In 2018, the prevalence of malnutrition in the world was 7.3% or ± 49.5 million children.The problem experienced by this community is that there are still high cases of malnutrition in toddlers in the working area of the Cipayung Health Center, so there is a need for education and intervention for the community regarding the prevention and prevention of malnutrition. The results of this activity were an increase in knowledge of malnutrition p-value 0.021 and the attitude of obedience of parents in providing supplementary food to their undernourished children. This is very important to do in various working areas of the puskesmas and in the community itself, because prevention from an early age can reduce the high incidence of malnutrition which has an impact on the death rate in Indonesia

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Since it affects almost every region of the world, the problem of nutrition is considered a global health problem. A child's growth and development can be slowed down by malnutrition. A serious nutritional problem in Indonesia is the increasing problem of malnutrition in toddlers and school-aged children. children. As caregivers, educators, supervisors, disciplinarians, protectors, and supporters who have a significant impact on stunting prevention in toddlers, including the role of fathers in stunting prevention is very important. Even if the culture does not comply with child health recommendations, all recommendations must be followed because parents are assumed to have more experience in caring for children. Stability can be avoided with good parenting. All children's needs will be met if they are cared for properly, and children will grow and develop optimally.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Food is the main fuel that runs a human body, both in health and illness. Food and Nutrition play a major role in the prevention of almost all diseases and promotion of health. Unfortunately at the global level, India is being placed among the highest ranked countries on the basis of number of malnourished children1. Childhood is a crucial period where we need to pay some extra attention for the nutritional needs and nutritional care of a child, as it acts as a strong pillar for his/her growth and development and prevention of malnutrition. Despite many medical advances over the past 20 years, the prevalence of malnutrition among hospitalized children has not decreased. Since the staff nurses spent more time with patients than any other healthcare workers and the patient recovery is greatly affected by the quality of care these nurses provide to their patients in all the aspects of care, including the nutritional aspect. Present study was conducted to assess the Nurses’ Knowledge, Attitude and Practice towards nutritional care of the hospitalized children, in order to ensure quality nutritional care for hospitalized children who are at risk of developing malnutrition or who are already victims of it. A nonexperimental descriptive research design was adopted to carry out the present study on a sample of 40 staff nurses working at a Tertiary care hospital of Karnataka by administering MKAP questionnaire. The results of the study showed that majority of the staff nurses 28(70%) had average knowledge and neutral attitude regarding malnutrition and nutritional care among hospitalized children , while as 7(17.5%) had good knowledge and positive attitude and 5( 12.5%) of them had poor knowledge and negative attitude regarding malnutrition and nutritional care among hospitalized children. The majority of the staff nurses 25(62.5%) showed neutral practice regarding malnutrition and nutritional care among hospitalized children, while as 10 (25%) showed beneficial practice and 5 (12.5%) of them showed non-beneficial practice regarding malnutrition and nutritional care among hospitalized children. In the present study the association of Levels of KAP with demographic characteristics of the staff nurses was calculated by using chi-square test and no association was found between the two except for gender. The study concluded that most of the staff nurses are having average knowledge and neutral attitude and practice towards malnutrition and nutritional care of hospitalized children

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Undernutrition is commonly associated with chronic disease in children and the elderly. Overnutrition is also, but less commonly, associated with chronic illness. In most diseases malnutrition arises because energy intake does not match energy output. Traditionally, the focus of research has been on abnormalities in energy expenditure, in the belief that these factors were the main determinants of energy imbalance. Recent studies using the doubly-labelled-water method to measure total energy expenditure, combined with more complex study design, have suggested an alternative conclusion. In many chronic diseases patient behaviour, and particularly energy intake, is responsible for energy imbalance and malnutrition. Energy balance studies have therefore provided a useful foundation for the design of strategies aimed at preventing or managing chronic malnutrition. However, modifying patient behaviour is an ambitious undertaking which may not be within the scope of existing clinical nutrition services. A number of non-traditional models of managing chronic malnutrition in children and the elderly are promising. Increasing recognition of the value of systematic review will also provide improved strategies for prevention and management of chronic malnutrition.

Malnutrition contributes to an estimated 45% of deaths among children under 5 years of age in developing countries, predominantly due to infections. Malnourished children therefore stand to benefit hugely from vaccination, but malnutrition has been described as the most common immunodeficiency globally, suggesting that they may not be able to respond effectively to vaccines. The immunology of malnutrition remains poorly characterized, but is associated with impairments in mucosal barrier integrity, and innate and adaptive immune dysfunction. Despite this, the majority of malnourished children can mount a protective immune response following vaccination, although the timing, quality and duration of responses may be impaired. This paper reviews the evidence for vaccine immunogenicity in malnourished children, discusses the importance of vaccination in prevention of malnutrition and highlights evidence gaps in our current knowledge.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The following article on the use of foods from the “family pot” for the rehabilitation of malnourished children supports the conviction of many health workers that, in principle, this is the most practical approach to the prevention of malnutrition among pre-school children, even in impoverished families The small shifts in food distribution within the family that are required with this approach are of negligible significance for the other family members, but of critical importance for the young child. The problem in the past has been the lack of a means of persuading a mother of the need to feed her child more, particularly when she is already breast-feeding. This obstacle can be overcome if the mother can monitor the chid's growth and learn that a failure to gain weight from one weighing time to another means that more food is necessary. If there is evidence of disease, medical attention may also be indicated. Of course, the implementation of this approach is subject to cultural variation in the suitability of foods being used by the other members of the family. For reasons which include high fibre content, strong seasoning, and low nutrient density, some foods will not be appropriate for infants and young children. Also, the phrase “family pot” may well apply to some cultures, but in others there is no single pot, but rather a variety of foods, some of which are always suitable for the young child. If cultural variations are taken into account, the concept advanced by this article should be universally applicable.

Child malnutrition is a major public health concern worldwide, leading to higher morbidity and mortality. It is mostly preventable through public health and economic development. Malnutrition refers to the situation where there is an unbalanced diet in which some nutrients are in excess, lacking or wrong proportion. Simply put, we can categories it to be under-nutrition and over-nutrition. Nutrition effects on children’s physical, cognitive and behavioral development. Television and computer game exposure affect children’s sleep and deteriorate verbal and cognitive performance which support the hypothesis of the negative influence of media on consumption of children sleep, learning and memory. Most of the childhood obesity prevention efforts have focused on school age children and have had limited success. In the present study importance of dietary habits in children is discussed.

An observational pilot study was conducted to assess the nutritional status and morbidity profile of childhood contacts of leprosy in an endemic area (Chengalpattu) in India. A total of 70 such children were included in the study. Sociodemographic data were collected using a one-to-one interview method and the children were evaluated by dermatologists qualified in paediatric leprosy. The obtained data were computed. Three children were diagnosed to have leprosy through this study. Nutritional status assessment in these children demonstrated malnutrition, a common finding. Regular contact screening of children in endemic areas for early case detection, disability prevention and thereby prevention of community transmission is mandatory. Further research is needed concerning the role of malnutrition in children and its relation to morbidity in leprosy. The closeness and duration of contact of leprosy is also an important risk factor. Effective strategies to diagnose subclinical infection are needed.

Background: Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive in children under five years of age (toddlers) due to chronic malnutrition and infection. Stunting has an impact on the level of intelligence, susceptibility to disease, reduces productivity, increases poverty and inequality. This condition is closely related to the culture of the community. Therefore, a cultural communication strategy is needed as an intervention to change maternal behavior and prevent stunting. Objective: This study aims to analyze articles related to cultural communication strategies in efforts to prevent stunting in children. Method: The design used is the literature review, articles are collected using search engines such as ProQuest, BMC Public Health, Google Scholar and Plos One. Criteria article used was published in 2011-2020. Results: Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive in children under five years of age as a result of chronic malnutrition so that the child is too short for his age. Malnutrition occurs since the baby is in the womb and in the early days after the baby is born. The factors that cause stunting in children are family factors and family environment, inadequate food, breastfeeding and infection. These factors are closely related to the local culture. Therefore, cultural communication strategies are considered effective in changing mother's behavior and preventing stunting in children. Conclusion: Cultural communication can influence behavior change in mothers to prevent stunting in children

Malnutrition in the Southern province of Rwanda is a significant public health concern. According to the Rwanda Demographic and Health Survey (RDHS) 2010, chronic malnutrition in children under 5 years was widespread 44% children having stunting (insufficient height for age), 11 % underweight (weight for age) and 3% wasting (weight for height). Ruhango district (Southern Rwanda) had the highest malnutrition prevalence (23.5%) in 2009. This study aimed to measure the prevalence of malnutrition among Ruhango children in 2012 and to identify relationship between comorbidities occurrence, food intake and their nutrition status. A multistage sampling was done across four hierarchical levels: district, sector, cell and village, where households (N=294) with children under five years were purposively selected to form the sampling units in which the survey was conducted. The study showed that Ruhango has improved in prevention of malnutrition as compared to 2010 study. However, stunting was still a problem with those aged between 24 and 35 months being most affected. Wasting did not affect large population of the target group. Better educated household members had less malnourished kids (3%) than those who did not attend school (12%). Co-morbidities occurrence was significantly higher in malnourished children (P = 0.006). Acute Respiratory Tract Infection had the highest occurrence (52%). The children reported to have been sick had significantly lower weight than those who were normal (P<0.05). Food intake (mean dietary diversity of 25%) was not adequate for most households and only few people took protein of high quality like meat and milk. Household food practices were tested at 95% confidence interval and this affected the nutrition status of children (P = 0.02). In households with mean dietary diversity above four food groups, only 2.17 % of children were underweight as compared to 18.18% those from households with mean dietary diversity below three. Thus, interventions to eliminate malnutrition should focus on household food diversification and disease prevention.

Anthropometric indices are widely used to assess the health and nutritional status of children. We tested the hypothesis that the 2007 World Health Organization (WHO) reference for assessment of malnutrition in children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) overestimates the prevalence of severe malnutrition when compared to a previously constructed SCA-specific reference. We applied the WHO and SCA-specific references to children with SCA aged 5–12 years living in northern Nigeria (Primary Prevention of Stroke in Children with SCA in sub-Saharan Africa (SPRING) trial) to determine the difference in prevalence of severe malnutrition defined as body mass index (BMI) Z-score <−3 and whether severe malnutrition was associated with lower mean hemoglobin levels or abnormal transcranial Doppler measurements (>200 cm/s). A total of 799 children were included in the final analysis (median age 8.2 years (interquartile range (IQR) 6.4–10.4)). The application of the WHO reference resulted in lower mean BMI than the SCA-specific reference (−2.3 versus −1.2; p < 0.001, respectively). The use of the WHO reference when compared to the SCA-specific reference population also resulted in a higher prevalence of severe malnutrition (28.6% vs. 6.4%; p < 0.001). The WHO reference significantly overestimates the prevalence of severe malnutrition in children with SCA when compared to an SCA-specific reference. Regardless of the reference population, severe malnutrition was not associated with lower mean hemoglobin levels or abnormal transcranial Doppler (TCD) measurements.

Introduction: Dental caries and malnutrition is a public health problem, concentrated more among socioeconomically disadvantaged groups. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between malnutrition and dental caries among 6, 10 and 12 years children in Mangalore. Materials and Methods: Data about oral health status and body mass index of children of age groups 6, 10 and 12 were collected using a cross-sectional design. Anthropometric measurements and oral examinations were carried out. Statistical test was performed to look for categorical associations between BMI categories and dental caries prevalence and to see if any correlation exists between BMI Score and dental caries severity. Results: The Pearson correlation test result suggested children with less BMI score tend to have more caries affected teeth than children with normal BMI. Conclusions: Physicians and dentists treating young children should consider malnutrition as a risk marker for childhood caries. Inclusion of BMI calculation in the standard dental evaluation of any pediatric patient can provide a screen for prevention, timely diagnosis, and treatment of the children suffering from dental caries and malnutrition.

Background: The mother is the sole provider of primary care for her child for the first five years of his or her life. Her ability to provide treatment is primarily dictated by her knowledge and understanding of basic nutrition and health care. The numbers would improve dramatically if mothers were made more aware of infant feeding strategies and other health-care practices. Objective: To assess the impact of a structured teaching programme on the awareness of malnutrition and its prevention among mothers of children under the age of five in a specific area of Lingiadih Village, Bilaspur (C.G.). Method: The convenient sampling technique was used in the study. esult and Conclusion:The findings show that about 58% of the mothers of under-five children were in the age group of 21-25 years, 58% were Hindus, 52% were taking a mixed diet, 76% were from nuclear families, 62% had a family income of INR 1000-3000 per month, 50% took primary education, 92% had one child in the family, 88% of the children were partially immunized, and 30% of the mothers got the information about malnutrition from mass media. 7 (14%) mothers had average knowledge, 43 (86%) had bad knowledge, and 0 (0%) had good knowledge, according to the assessment of the overall pre-test knowledge level of the mothers of under-five children regarding prevention of protein-energy malnutrition. The overall post-test awareness assessment showed that structured teaching programme proved to be significantly effective in improving the knowledge of mothers of under-five children regarding the prevention of protein-energy malnutrition. The study concluded that there was significant difference between knowledge score and selected demographic variables hence H0 was rejected.

Introduction: Malnutrition is a nutritional disorder which occurs due to the imbalance of nutrients. This has become a major concern in developing countries like India. Early detection of malnutrition helps in prevention of mortality of children. Methodlogy: The purpose of this study was to determine whether children are aware of their nutritional condition among the age groups of2- 8 years studying in Nirmala Institutions and government schools in Atmakur village, Mangalagiri, Guntur district, India. A questionnaire was given to the parents. Z test is used to categorize the students. 607 students were enrolled for this study and correlation is used to get the r value. Results: Of all children taken for the study of prevalence of malnutrition, 607 children of either gender were included. Out of 607 children (54.36%) are male and (45.63%) are female students. Out of which 26.52% are at 3-4 years, 27.18% children are at 4-5 years, 10.21% children are at 5-6 years,25.04% are at 6-7 years, 11.03% children are at 7-8 years of age. Conclusion:Malnutrition has a significant negative impact on a childs physical and mental development. In India, malnutrition is the primary cause of death among children. Early diagnosis of acute malnutrition with MUAC tape can be beneficial in children aged 6-59 months, although MUAC could only identify a small number of children as undernourished when compared to the W/H index.

AbstractBackground:Trends in the nutritional status for developing countries that are undergoing rapid economic growth indicate a decrease in protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) with an associated rise in obesity prevalence.Objective:This paper analyses how supplementary feeding programmes may contribute to rising obesity trends, what factors may explain this phenomenon, and potential strategies to avoid obesity in malnutrition prevention efforts.Design and setting: This is a descriptive study of changes in nutritional status of infants and young children in Chile and the possible impact of supplementary feeding programmes on the rise in prevalence of obesity. We explored the changes in anthropometric indices before and after receiving food programme benefits and the use of targeting strategies as a way to combine the need to promote optimal growth while preventing obesity.Results:Evaluation of the change in nutritional status from participants in Chilean supplementary feeding programmes has shown that targeting strategies have been inadequate as children mainly modify their weight-for-age and weight-for-height, while their length-for-age remains practically unchanged.Conclusions:Monitoring length-for-age as well as weight-for-length is necessary to permit the identification of stunted overweight and obese children, as they should not be given excess energy. Energy supplementation should be adjusted according to activity level, securing adequate micronutrient density. PEM prevention programmes need periodic evaluation, including targeting of beneficiaries, definition of real needs and possible effect on obesity.

Malnutrition that occurs in the first thousand days of life will have an impact on children's lives in the future. The results of previous studies that were carried out were known that from 107 under-five-children, there were 32 under-five-children with under nutritional status in Bangka Kenda Village. This activity aims to improve a mother's knowledge about the importance of fulfilling toddler nutrition starting from infancy by giving exclusive breastfeeding for six months, then continuing with additional food. As well as knowledge about nutrition needed by under-five-children. The activity begins with a pre-test, then continues with counseling activities, and at the end, a post-test evaluation of the mother's understanding of the counseling material. The participants were 35 people. The results of the activity showed an increase in the mother's knowledge before and after counseling.

Malnutrition and infectious diseases in infancy and early childhood have an impact on the cognitive development of children in developing countries. The long-term effects of these diseases are less well understood. A number of studies relate early malnutrition, iron deficiency, and malaria infection to poor cognitive abilities in the school-age years. The long-term effect of randomized interventions in early childhood has been evaluated for nutrition supplementation and psychosocial stimulation of malnourished children and for malaria prevention in a community cohort. The evidence suggests that improving the health and nutrition of young children can improve their subsequent chances of attending school, the gender equity of education access, and performance of children once at school.

ObjectiveThe levels, distributions of child malnutrition and its potential risk factors are not very well known in Myanmar. The objectives included in this study were: to estimate the current national and subnational prevalence of four types of malnutrition (stunting, wasting, underweight and overweight) among children under 5 in Myanmar; to identify potential risk factors associated with each type of malnutrition and to investigate how the identified risk factors’ distributions explained the regional disparities in malnutrition prevalence.Design/methodsData from the Myanmar Demographic and Health Survey 2015–2016 were used to estimate the prevalence of four types of malnutrition at both national and subnational levels (15 regions). Logistic regression models were applied to examine the association between each type of malnutrition and its risk factors, including child’s factors, parental social status and household conditions. The risk factor-adjusted prevalence of the malnutrition was estimated at the subnational level based on the estimated parameters from the regression models.ResultsThe national prevalence of stunting, wasting, underweight and overweight in children under 5 was estimated to be 29.1% (95% CI 27.7% to 30.6%), 6.8% (6.0% to 7.6%), 18.3% (17.0% to 19.5%) and 1.5% (1.1% to 1.9%), respectively. Substantial regional variations in the prevalence of each type of malnutrition were observed. Several risk factors of each type of malnutrition were identified, including low birth weight (LBW) and inadequate maternal nutritional status. Except for overweight, regional variations largely persisted even after adjustment for the risk factors investigated.ConclusionThe prevalence of malnutrition among children under 5 is still high in Myanmar, most commonly stunting. Targeted interventions aimed at prevention of LBW, improving the maternal nutritional status, in addition to other sociodemographic conditions should be encouraged urgently. Further research is necessary to investigate the potential sources of regional variation in prevalence of malnutrition among children under 5 in the country.

Since the pre-independence era, India is dealing with a variety of health problems that have been eliminated in developed nations. As we prepare to enter post covid era, a problem which we are dealing since ages is child promotion and child survival. India is a nuclear weapon-affiliated country now but it still has a long way to go as far as child malnutrition is concerned. It is a surprising fact to know that the prevalence of malnutrition in India is double that of sub-Saharan country.[1] It has been 45 years since the launch of the Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS) and we still have 35.8% of undernourished children in our country makes one think about the drawbacks in our current approach. [2] There are a wide variety of reasons for decreased weight inchildren under the age of 5. Interestingly inadequate food security is considered as one of the primary reasons, however,it does not justify the 20.1% of underweight children belonging to high socioeconomic status.[2] Other reasons include infections i.e. diarrhea and acute respiratory infections in children and it could be attributed to a moderate rate (approximately 62%) of immunization in the under 5 age group.[2]

The problem of malnutrition in families, especially in infants, is a public health problem since long time ago. The economic crisis that has occurred since 1997 until now has not been properly addressed. This causes the number of poor families to increase and the purchasing power of food decreases. Furthermore, the availability of food in the family becomes limited which in turn has the potential to cause malnutrition and even malnutrition. Malnutrition is a major factor causing infant and toddler deaths. Nutrition problems are generally caused by two main factors, namely disease infection and low nutritional intake due to lack of food availability at the household level or wrong care patterns. The problem of malnutrition and malnutrition in children under five is a problem that needs to be addressed. The purpose of this service is the implementation of a sustainable food house model in the village of view in the district of Samatiga, West Aceh Regency. The food house provides information on diet and insight into the effects of malnutrition on infants. The dedication method is by triggering a restaurant to get information and comprehensive insight about eating patterns in children under five who have the potential to experience malnutrition. The results of devotion are able to form eating patterns in groups and are able to form malnutrition prevention behaviors in toddlers in Suak Pandan village.

Background World Health Organization (WHO) stated that malnutrition is a major global health and social problem from which many people are suffering, particularly children. Poor feeding and care practices, insufficient nutrient intake, high rate of infection and teenage pregnancy are the immediate causes of chronic malnutrition.
Objective To identify the risk factors for malnutrition among under five children.
Method A case control study was carried out among the mothers having under-5 years’ children who were admitted in the Kanti Children’s Hospital of Nepal from 1st August 2019 to 7th September 2020. Non-probability purposive sampling technique was used to select 50 children with malnutrition and 100 children without malnutrition matched on age, sex and setting. A structured interview was used to collect data from mothers of both cases and controls. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data.
Result Present study reveals that 58% girl got marriage before 20 years. After confounders adjusted, mother’s age ≥ 20 years at marriage (OR: 2.74, 95% CI: 0.98-7.63. p=0.05), and mother’s age ≥ 20 years at child birth (OR: 7.74, 95% CI: 2.37-25.27. p=0.001), were significantly associated with having malnutrition among under five children. Similarly, accessibility of health facility (OR: 3.31, 95% CI: 1-10.94. p=0.05), fathers who completed master in education (OR: 0.08, 95% CI: 0.01-0.88. p=0.04), children who lived in joint family (OR: 0.25, 95% CI: 0.07-0.86. p=0.03), child < 2.5 kg at birth (OR: 0.18, 95% CI: 0.05-0.62. p=0.01), and second and third or above in order (OR: 0.09, 95% CI: 0.01-1.04. p=0.05) had significantly less chance of having malnutrition. Children’s whose birth interval was 2-3 years were significantly (OR: 9.74, 95% CI: 1.16-82.23. p=0.04) associated with the occurrence of malnutrition. Children who had suffered from multiple co-morbidities in last one year were (OR: 4.55, 95% CI: 0.48-43.03. p=0.18) more chance of having malnutrition.
Likewise, the mothers who feed colostrum to their child had (OR: 2.28, 95% CI: 0.52- 9.26. p=0.29) almost two-fold less chance of having malnutrition. Mothers who had done exclusive breast feeding ≥ 4 months had (OR: 40.55, 95% CI: 3.35-1.490.92. p=0.008) significantly associated with having malnutrition.
Conclusion Low education status of father, living in single family, exclusive breast feeding ≥ 4 months, lack of balance diet were significant risk factors of malnutrition. Based on finding, reliable longitudinal studies, interventions and program to educate parent for prevention of malnutrition are necessary in future.

Background The most common nutritional problem affecting the pediatric population in developing countries is protein energy malnutrition (PEM). The nutritional problem may be caused by a variety of factors, most of which are related inadequate food intake and infection. One of the highest causes of morbidity and mortality in endemic areas is malaria. Malaria infection and nutritional status have been suggested to be interrelated.Objective To assess for a relationship between nutritional status and malaria infection in children.Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in October and November 2010 in primary school children at Panyabungan City, North Sumatera Province. Peripheral thick and thin blood smear examinations were done to confirm the diagnosis of malaria. Participants were divided in two groups (malaria-infected and uninfected) by consecutive sampling. Nutritional status was determined by body weight and height measurements based on the 2000 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) chart. The mild and moderate malnutrition classification was further sub-divided into stunted and wasted, based on the 2007 NCHS/WHO chart. Chi-square test was used to analyze the relationship between nutritional status and malaria infection.Results There were 126 children in each group. Significant differences in mild-moderate malnutrition were found between the malaria-infected and uninfected groups (23.8% vs. 46.8%, respectively; P= 0.011). There were also significant differences between the malaria-infected and uninfected groups with regards to chronic malnutrition type: stunted (20.0% vs. 37.3%, respectively; P=0.042) and stunted-wasted (6.7% vs. 28.8%, respectively; P= 0.008) in both groups of the children with mild-moderate malnutrition.Conclusion There are significantly more children with mild-moderate malnutrition in the uninfected group than in the malaria-infected group, furthermore, of those with mild-moderate malnutrition, there are significantly more stunted and stunted-wasted children who were uninfected than malaria-infected.

Introduction: The problem of malnutrition in children under five is still a problem that has not been overcome properly. The role of the family in overcoming the problem of malnutrition is very necessary because toddlers have a dependency in terms of nutritional fulfillment. At present the family's knowledge and awareness of the importance of providing nutrition to infants is still lacking. Therefore, efforts are needed to overcome this problem by increasing the provision of appropriate nuntrisi education for children under five so that toddlers avoid malnutrition. Objective: This study aimed to increase the mother's knowledge about balanced nutrition in infants. Methods: The practice method used education and simulation intervention for 4 weeks. The activity was attended by 22 mothers of children under five by involving health cadres. Results: The results of the study showed that educational and simulation interventions were able to increase the knowledge and skills of mothers of toddlers related to balanced nutrition based on the results of p value = 0.037. Conclusion: Educational intervention and simulation of balanced nutrition could be an opportunity for community nurses to develop promotive and preventive efforts in the prevention of malnutrition, especially stunting in infants.

IntroductionChildhood malnutrition is widespread in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) and increases the frequency and severity of infections such as pneumonia. We aimed to identify studies investigating pneumonia deaths in malnourished children and estimate mortality risk by malnutrition severity.MethodsWe conducted a systematic review of MEDLINE, EMBASE and Global Health databases to identify relevant studies. We used a network meta-analysis to derive ORs of death from pneumonia for moderately and severely underweight children using low weight-for-age, the most reported measure of malnutrition. We compared meta-estimates of studies conducted before and after 2000 to assess changes in mortality risk over time. We estimated the prevalence of underweight hospitalised children from hospital-based cohort studies and calculated the population attributable fraction of in-hospital pneumonia deaths from being underweight using our results.ResultsOur network meta-analysis included 33 544 underweight children from 23 studies. The estimated OR of death from pneumonia was 2.0 (95% CI 1.6 to 2.6) and 4.6 (95% CI 3.7 to 5.9) for children moderately and severely underweight, respectively. The OR of death from pneumonia for those severely underweight was 5.3 (95% CI 3.9 to 7.4) pre-2000 and remained high post-2000 at 4.1 (95% CI 3.0 to 6.0). Prevalence of underweight children hospitalised with pneumonia varied (median 40.2%, range 19.6–66.3) but was high across many LMIC settings. We estimated a median 18.3% (range 10.8–34.6) and 40.9% (range 14.7–69.9) of in-hospital pneumonia deaths were attributable to being moderately and severely underweight, respectively.ConclusionsThe risk of death from childhood pneumonia dramatically increases with malnutrition severity. This risk has remained high in recent years with an estimated over half of in-hospital pneumonia deaths attributable to child malnutrition. Prevention and treatment of all child malnutrition must be prioritised to maintain progress on reducing pneumonia deaths.

CONTEXT: Protein energy malnutrition constitutes a public health problem, especially in less affluent countries. The identification of amenable predictive risk factors is of major importance for policy makers to plan interventions to reduce infant malnutrition. OBJECTIVE: To identify risk factors for protein energy malnutrition among hospitalized low-income children aged 6 to 24 months. TYPE OF STUDY: Case-control study. SETTING: Two public hospitals in Recife, Brazil. PARTICIPANTS: The cases were 124 infants with length-for-age below the 10th percentile of the National Center for Health Statistics curve and the controls were 241 infants with length-for-age equal to or above the 10th percentile who were recruited in the same infirmary. METHODS: Cases and controls were compared in relation to a variety of sociodemographic, environmental and reproductive factors, and their healthcare, previous feeding practice and morbidity. Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the net effect of risk factors on infant malnutrition, after adjusting for potential confounding variables. RESULTS: The mother's age, possession of a TV set, type of water supply, family size and location of the home were significantly associated with child malnutrition in the bivariate analysis. However, these associations lost their significance after adjusting for other explanatory variables in the hierarchical logistic regression analysis. This analysis showed that low birth weight contributed the largest risk for impaired growth. Increased risks of infant malnutrition were also significantly associated with households that had no toilet facilities or refrigerator, high parity for the mother, no breastfeeding of the infant, inadequate vaccination coverage and previous hospitalization for diarrhea and pneumonia. DISCUSSION: The literature shows that chronic malnutrition, as assessed by low length-for-age indexes, is often related to low income. However, this was not the case in this study, in which other variables had greater impact on child growth. CONCLUSIONS: In view of the multiple causes of malnutrition, the interrelationship among its determinants should be taken into account when adopting strategies for its reduction and prevention.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is the most common liver disease in adults, is now becoming increasingly common in children as well. It is usually associated with obesity and is considered as a hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome. Studies of the intestinal microbiota (IMB) and its metabolites have confirmed the association of the development of NAFLD with intestinal dysbiosis, increased permeability of the intestinal barrier, endotoxemia, and chronic inflammation, which formed the basis of the concept of the gut-liver axis. But in recent years there has been evidence linking malnourished liver steatosis (kwashiorkor and micronutrient deficiencies) with impaired IMB. Changes in the spectrum of intestinal metabolites, the ratio of primary and secondary bile acids, an increase in the permeability of the intestinal barrier, oxidation products turned out to be similar in obesity and malnutrition, which made it possible to put forward a general strategy for the prevention and treatment of NAFLD with undernutrition and overnutrition, which is based on a combination of dietary correction and exposure on the microbiota with pro- and prebiotics.

A child whose health is disturbed, both physically and psychologically is a reflection of not achieving the child's welfare. To get the welfare of the child, every child has the right to get services from the government and the community. The government stipulates laws and regulations in order to enforce the right of children to obtain health services. However, the reality that occurs in the community is that children do not get maximum nutritional health services both at the puskesmas and hospital levels so that there is no decrease in the number of children suffering from malnutrition. There is a need for legal protection for malnourished children so that children's welfare can maximize the growth and development process properly. In this case, the law is tasked with ensuring the welfare of children and guarding the interests of children in providing child protection. This study uses a qualitative approach with empirical legal research techniques in data collection and uses content analysis in describing the data obtained. The results of the study found that the legal protection for malnourished children for the fulfillment of health services in the prevention of malnutrition in children who were not carried out optimally. Various cross-sectoral roles are needed in the effort to fulfill the rights of malnourished children. The implementation of legal health services based on Health Law no. 36 of 2009 must be implemented, especially in overcoming the problem of malnutrition so that all health problems can be overcome in an effort to overcome malnutrition.

Background: Indicators showing levels of nutritional status in children are often regarded as representative of the health and general well-being of a society at large. Malnutrition stands as a consequence of several key social and economic factors such as lack of education, inadequate health care services and ill-informed cultural behaviors. In order to holistically address the issues surrounding malnutrition, a comprehensive understanding of the multi-dimensional complexities at play in society is crucial. Objective was to identify determinants of severe acute malnutrition among children with severe acute malnutrition under 5 years (between 6 months to 60 months) of age. Methods: A cross sectional study design involving 64 patients with severe acute malnutrition between 6 to 60 month of age was employed to identify the risk factors of severe acute malnutrition among children admitted in pediatric wards and nutritional rehabilitation centers, Civil hospital Ahmedabad, from April 2018 to march 2019. A detailed history of all the patients were taken and data collected using structured interviewer-administered questionnaire.Results: Thus, from the above study, it is clear that age of the child <2 years, female gender, bigger family size, poverty, illiteracy in mother, poor feeding practices, improper complementary feed introduction, poor nutritional status of mother whose child were breastfed, acute or chronic illness in child and narrow birth spacing were the chief determinants of SAM in under five children.Conclusions: Socio demographic characters, nutrition and child caring practices, infection and other childhood illness as well as obstetric history of mother are important determinants of severe acute malnutrition in children under five years of age. As a result, collaborative efforts should be organized to improve promotion of better child caring practices through appropriate age specific child and maternal feeding practices, prevention and early treatment of acute childhood illnesses and promotion of family planning.

The problem of malnutrition in children underfive is still major nutritional problem that needs attention. Nutritional problems are directly caused by inadequate intake and high infectious disease. This is related to environmental sanitation and inadequate health services, impaired access to food, inadequate maternal care and the lack of knowledge of mothers about how to give good food to children of weaning age. For this reason, counseling activities are needed as an effort to increase the knowledge of mothers of children under five related to malnutrition. The method of implementing community service activities is in the form of counseling and evaluation of pre and post tests. Monitoring is carried out by identifying indicators of success in aspects of attendance, reflection, and feedback from participants. After education, there was an increase in knowledge from the post test evaluation results with a good knowledge category of 100%. It was concluded that this activity could increase the knowledge of mothers under five regarding the prevention and control of malnutrition. The program can be continuous with the cooperation of health workers at the Pamenang Health Center

Background: Disease-associated malnutrition (DAM) is common in hospitalized children. This survey aimed to assess current in-hospital practices for clinical care of pediatric DAM in Canada. Methods: An electronic survey was sent to all 15 tertiary pediatric hospitals in Canada and addressed all pillars of malnutrition care: screening, assessment, treatment, monitoring and follow-up. Results: Responses of 120 health care professionals were used from all 15 hospitals; 57.5% were medical doctors (MDs), 26.7% registered dietitians (RDs) and 15.8% nurses (RNs). An overarching protocol for prevention, detection and intervention of pediatric malnutrition was present or “a work in progress”, according to 9.6% of respondents. Routine nutritional screening on admission was sometimes or always performed, according to 58.8%, although the modality differed among hospitals and profession. For children with poor nutritional status, lack of nutritional follow-up after discharge was reported by 48.5%. Conclusions: The presence of a standardized protocol for the clinical assessment and management of DAM is uncommon in pediatric tertiary care hospitals in Canada. Routine nutritional screening upon admission has not been widely adopted. Moreover, ongoing nutritional care of malnourished children after discharge seems cumbersome. These findings call for the adoption and implementation of a uniform clinical care pathway for malnutrition among pediatric hospitals.

Background: Sever acute malnutrition (SAM) may be major obstacle for India to achieve targeted Infant Mortality Rate and under five mortality rate. Malnutrition and infection form vicious cycle and contributes towards mortality. So, malnutrition prevention is major objective of government. Study of malnourished children helps to know aetiology and their response to treatment. The objective of study is to understand clinic-demographic profile of SAM children.Methods: It is retrospective secondary data analysis study. For the purpose of this analysis, we retrieved the data of all children with SAM admitted from 1 January, 2018 to 31 December, 2018 to NRC. At the NRC, a physician conducted a clinical examination in children to detect the presence/absence of medical complications during their admission and these data were available in case sheet.Results: A total of 162 children, aged 6-59 months were referred to the NRC. Around fourty seven percentage of children were in age group 6–12 months Majority of children were in age group of 7 months to one year of age. Majority of children were admitted based on weight of height criteria (Z score < 3SD). Mean admission weight is lower in female compare to male children.Conclusions: Faulty weaning practises and delay in weaning in some cases predisposes later half of infancy period to undernutrition. So, proper health education and good IYCF practices prevent children from undernutrition.

Malnutrition remains an international concern because it represents a major cause of childhood morbidity and mortality. In infants and children malnutrition significant metabolic, hormonal, and immune changes occur with short- and long-term effects and outcomes. Thus, studies which contribute to the prevention, amelioration, or rehabilitation of the detrimental effect of malnutrition are necessary. Investigations on endocrine, metabolic, and immune changes related to severe malnutrition started a long time ago. However, recently there has been little work on these important changes, their mechanism/s of action and interactions, and their effect on different systems. The neuroendocrine system is the initial response to stress, so it is reasonable to assume that this system also plays a key role in the pathophysiological changes during nutritional deprivation. However, many of the newly identified functions/changes are better explained by the action of conventional neurotransmitters (e.g., glutamate and GABA) that constitute a neuronal circuit. In addition, the mechanistic Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) is an evolutionarily conserved serine/threonine kinase has emerged as a sensor for nutrients that has a central joint in cellular metabolism, cell growth, and differentiation. Its functions during malnutrition in the central nervous system, endocrine system, and different end organs and tissues (liver, pancreas, muscle, and adipose tissue) need elucidation. This article presents a brief review of neuroendocrine changes during malnutrition and their effects on the modulation of metabolism, growth, and immune functions. The pros and cons of these endocrine changes are discussed as well as their reversibility on nutritional rehabilitation.

Introduction: To address the high malnutrition rates in Sub Saharan Africa, most programs addressing malnutrition have continuously been streamlined through the health system, yet this has not yielded results as expected. On the other hand, the education sector has shown an immense capacity to address some challenges, such as eliminating short-term hunger through School feeding programs. Yet, little attention has been given to teachers as far as implementing health and nutrition interventions. With an increased school enrolment rate in Sub Saharan Africa, teachers present huge potential as change agents.Objectives: To consolidate evidence about the effectiveness of teacher-based interventions in addressing malnutrition in Sub- Saharan Africa.Methods: A search strategy through online databases including EBSCO, PubMed, BASE, Cochrane, Google Scholar, LILACS, Project MUSE, TRIP Database, and Emerald Insight gave rise to 95,734 studies. These were identified and taken through a series of screening stages such that the most eligible were included to answer the review question.Results: Three studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Results showed that teacher-based interventions such as school lunch, deworming, vitamin A supplementation, and nutrition education positively affect the nutrition status of primary school children, school attendances, are sustainable and reach many children.Conclusion: There is a need to actively involve teachers in the primordial and primary prevention stages of malnutrition through strengthening nutrition education, supplementary programs and school gardening. Teachers have an essential role to play in the fight against Malnutrition in Sub Saharan Africa.

Introduction: Adequate Nutrition is important for optimum growth, immunity, neurological and cognitive development of the child. Malnutrition leads to illness and mortality among under 5 children. Nearly 40% under 5 children are malnourished in Gujarat despite many nutritional programmes. Objectives: To assess the epidemiological factors of malnourished children at Child Malnutrition Treatment Centre (CMTC) and to ind outthe association between epidemiological factors and nutritional status of study participants. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted on Children admitted at CMTC at Narayan Nagar Urban Health Center, the only one and newly established CMTC in Rajkot city in year 2015. Study duration was 14 months. Interview of mothers of 120 children was conducted to know epidemiological factors of malnourished children. Weight on admission was noted from register. Pre-formed, semi-structured proforma used. Results: Out of 120 children, 5.8%, 55.8%, 34.2% and 4.2% were from <1, 1-3, 3-5 and >5 year age groups respectively. Nearly 40% children belonged to Socioeconomic Class IV. The proportion of Low Birth Weight children was 40%. Current feeding practice was appropriate in 10.8% children according to IMNCI guideline. Upper Respiratory Tract Infection occurred in 76.7% children with average 4.5 episodes. High birth order of children is statistically signi icant with severity of malnutrition. Birth weight and feeding practices of children were not associated with grade of malnutrition. Conclusion: Need based education of mothers for preventing low birth weight, exclusive breastfeeding, complementary feeding, quantity and type of routine diet etc. should be given.

Purpose: Celiac Disease (CD) is an autoimmune systemic disorder triggered by gluten in genetically susceptible individuals, which can lead to chronic malabsorption. Considering the changes in the manifestations of CD.The present study was designed to determine the nutritional status and prevalence of malnutrition of celiac disease in children and to investigate the nutritional markers, anthropometric parameters such as body mass index (BMI), meal patterns ,and routine laboratory in celiac disease children
Methodology: This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the children with CD who had referred to Pediatric gastroenterology Clinic between 2021 and 2022. Totally, 40 children were eligible, and their weight, height, and Body Mass Index (BMI) were extracted by interview. The anthropometric indices were presented based on the criteria of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO). Biochemical tests were obtained during the study period from medical files of the studied patients. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The Chi-Square test was applied to examine the study data.
Findings: Data shows that 52% of CD children were well-nourished while the remaining 45%, 3%had moderate -to-severe malnutrition. Regarding the height for age and weight for age 20% of the participants had short stature, 80% were normal stature, in addition ,40% of the patients had sever wasting for age and 43% had normal weight for age. Based on the CDC’s criteria 20%,65%, 10%, and 20% low BMI, normal BMI, overweight, and obese for age respectively. In addition, results show that most of CD children had normal hemoglobin level with low level of vitamin D. Regarding to meals pattern of CD children result revealed that the most kind of food daily intake was milk and white bread while there was not daily consumed of ice cream and whole wheat bread.
Conclusion: To sum up, the results clearly indicated that growth failure and low height, weight, and BMI were less prevalent among the studied group of children with CD. Early diagnosis of celiac disease is very important to prevent long-term complications, early initiation of nutritional intervention and treatment is important. Currently, the only effective treatment is a lifelong gluten-free diet.

Background: Child malnutrition, in all its forms, is a public health priority in Zambia. After implementations based on a previous evaluation in 2012–14 were made, the efficacy of the Rainbow Project Supplementary Feeding Programs (SFPs) for the integrated management of severe acute malnutrition (SAM), moderate acute malnutrition (MAM), and underweight was reassessed in 2015–17. Methods: The outcomes were compared with International Standards and with those of 2012–14. Cox proportional risk regression analysis was performed to identify predictors of mortality and defaulting. Results: The data for 900 under-five year-old malnourished children were analyzed. Rainbow’s 2015–17 outcomes met International Standards, for total and also when stratified for different type of malnutrition. A better performance than 2012–14 was noted in the main areas previously identified as critical: mortality rates were halved (5.6% vs. 3.1%, p = 0.01); significant improvements in average weight gain and mean length of stay were registered for recovered children (p < 0.001). HIV infection (5.5; 1.9–15.9), WAZ <–3 (4.6; 1.3–16.1), and kwashiorkor (3.5; 1.2–9.5) remained the major predictors of mortality. Secondly, training community volunteers consistently increased the awareness of a child’s HIV status (+30%; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Rainbow SFPs provide an integrated community-based approach for the treatment and prevention of child malnutrition in Zambia, with its effectiveness significantly enhanced after the gaps in activities were filled.

Abstract Objectives This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the local additional food-recipe MASO 31 to increase weight gain (or z-score WHZ, WAZ, HAZ) in preventing malnutrition. The Null Hypothesis: “MASO31” recipe is not effective in preventing malnutrition or the z-score index (WHZ, WAZ, HAZ) gain averages in the two groups (intervention and control groups) are equal. The alternative Hypothesis: the “MASO31” recipe is effective in preventing malnutrition or the z-score index (WHZ, WAZ, HAZ) gain average is increased in the intervention children group than in the comparison children group. Methods In Kapolowe health zone, double-blind RCT is undertaken to assess the effectiveness of the MASO31 recipe to increase z-score (WHZ, WAZ, HAZ) in preventing malnutrition. P-S Power and sample size calculation software version 3.1.2. and the sample size calculation formula n = 2(Zα+Z[1-β])2 × SD2/d2 were used to obtain the sample size, where α = 0.01, Zα = 2.58, β = 0.10, Z(1-β) = 1.28; SD = 1z-score (within each subject group), d(effect size) = 0.55 z-score. So, n = 2(2.58 + 1.28)2 × (1)2/(0.55)2 = 99. Sample size with attrition rate (10%) = NR = n/(1-R) = 99/(1–0,90) = 110 intervention and 110 control children groups 12–20 months old. A total of 220 study children simply randomized are receiving daily 200g of MASO31 or MASO30 porridge-based. Standardized anthropometric equipment, trained investigators, and SPSS 23 are used before and will be used after implementation. A paired t-test will compare matched z-score (WHZ, WAZ, HAZ) averages within each children group. Two-sample t-test will compare the real difference of the difference of z-score (WHZ, WAZ, HAZ) gain averages in intervention and comparison children groups to reject the null hypothesis of the equality of the z-score (WHZ, WAZ, HAZ) gain averages in the two groups. Results The results are not yet available because it is a protocol whose study is being implemented. Conclusions Waiting for the end of the implementation study, we hope that this study will provide evidence about the effectiveness of local complementary food-recipe in DR Congo and serve the Health Ministry to make nutrition policy.
