Background: Child malnutrition is a major global health problem contributing to childhood morbidity, mortality, impaired intellectual development, suboptimal adult work capacity and increased risk of diseases in adulthood. Severe acute malnutrition, among children below five years of age remains a major embarrassment, and impediment to optimal human capital development in India.Methods: The study was an observational study conducted in the Department of Pediatrics and Biochemistry at Dr. RPGMC Kangra at Tanda, Himachal Pradesh. All children aged between 6 to 59 months presenting in the Department of Pediatrics with SAM (Severe Acute Malnutrition) and fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the study after taking the informed consent from the guardian in local language.Results: Out of 48 children included in the study, 28 (58%) children were Males and 20 (42%) children were females with male to female Ratio 1.3:1. Out of 48 children 28 (58%) were vitamin B12 deficient and 20 (42%) were non-deficient. In the present study 53.5% (15) of males were vitamin B12 deficient. Out of 20 females 65% (13) of females were vitamin B12 deficient, showed slight preponderance of females over males. It has been observed that younger age group children mostly <2-year-old were, the most vulnerable group as far as vitamin B12 deficiency is considered (16%)Conclusions: Micronutrients play a central part in metabolism and in maintenance of tissue functions. All severely malnourished children have vitamin and mineral deficiencies. The most common type of anemia was microcytic followed by megaloblastic anemia.

The Relationship

Abstract According to the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, a functional capacity evaluation (FCE) measures an individual's physical abilities via a set of activities in a structured setting and provides objective data about the relationship between an impairment and maximal ability to perform work activities. A key distinction between FCEs and self-reported activities of daily living is that the former involve direct observation by professional evaluators. Numerous devices can quantify the physical function of a specific part of the musculoskeletal system but do not address the performance of whole body tasks in the workplace, and these devices have not been shown to predict accurately the ability to perform all but the simplest job tasks. Information about reliability has been proposed as a way to identify magnification and malingering, but variability due to pain and poor comprehension of instructions may cause variations in assessments. Structured work capacity evaluations involve a set of activities but likely underestimate the individual's ability to do jobs that involve complex or varying activities. Job simulations involve direct observation of an individual performing actual job tasks, require a skilled and experienced evaluator, and raise questions about expense, time, objectivity and validity of results, and interpretation of results in terms of the ability to perform specific jobs. To understand the barriers to return to work, examiners must supplement FCEs with information regarding workplace environment, accommodations, and demotivators.
