Abstract Objective: This study provides information on food insecurity and child malnutrition in a technologically advanced nation. Design: Population-based study using multistage probability cluster sampling design to collect survey data. Multivariable regression models were used to determine associations between food security status and various malnutrition indices. Setting: We used a national sample from the United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2014. Participants: The anthropometric and demographic datasets of 4,121 children <7 years old were analyzed for this study. Results: Food insecure infants younger than 6 months had shorter upper arm length (−0.4 cm, p=0.012) and smaller mid-upper arm circumference (−0.5 cm, p=0.004), likewise those aged 6 months-1 year who had shorter upper arm length (−0.4 cm, p=0.008), body length (−1.7 cm, p=0.007) and lower body weight (−0.5 kg, p=0.008). Food insecure children younger than 2 years were more likely to be underweight (OR: 4.34; 95% CI: 1.99-9.46) compared to their food secure counterparts. Contrarywise, food insecure children older than 5 years were more likely to be obese (OR: 3.12; 95% CI: 1.23-7.96). Conclusion: Food insecurity associates with child growth deficits in the United States. Food insecure infants and young children are generally smaller and shorter, whereas older children are heavier than their food secure counterparts, implying a double burden of undernutrition-overnutrition associated with child food insecurity. Child food and nutrition programs to improve food insecurity should focus on infants and children in the transition ages.

Upper Arm Length

Introduction: Reconstruction of stature from long bones of the upper extremity is of great medico-legal relevance. Upper arm length (UAL) estimate stature with reasonable accuracy and is reliable factor for predicting stature. There is a strong relationship between stature and UAL and many sets of linear equation have been developed which are easiest and reliable methods for predicting relation between stature and body segments. These derived regression equations are population specific and cannot be applied in other populations. Studies on UAL for estimation of stature is lacking among Nepalese population. Hence, present study was conducted to investigate relationship between stature and UAL and to formulate regression formula for estimation of stature from UAL among Nepalese population. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 150 attendees of patient visiting male and female clinic in Patan hospital, Nepal. Among 150 participants 75 were male and 75 were female. In present study stature, right and left upper arm length was measured. Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) was calculated. Regression equation was formulated for reconstruction of stature from upper arm length of both sides as well as for both male and female separately. Result: All the measured parameters i.e. stature, right upper arm length and left upper arm length were higher in male than female (p<0.001). Strong positive correlation was found between stature and UAL in both males and females thereby indicating that stature can be estimated from UAL. Conclusion: UAL is a reliable body parameter for predicting stature. It can be of great help to anatomists, clinicians and anthropologists. Key words: Stature, upper arm length, correlation coefficient and regression equation.

Background: Elderly (>60 years old) population is growing in Indonesia. It is important to prevent degradation of cognitive capacity by risk factor identification and treatment.Objective: To identify the relationship between anthropometric status and cognitive capacity on elderly population.Method: This is an analysis of The Fifth Wave of the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS5) data with cross-sectional design. Anthropometric status is consisted of: body weight, body height, body mass index (BMI), knee height, upper arm length, waist circumference, hip circumference, and waist-hip ratio (WHR). Cognitive capacity is measured by modified telephone survey of cognitive status (TICS). Chi-Square and Mann-Whitney test are used for bivariate analysis, logistic regression is used for multivariate analysis.Results: Variables with significant relationship to cognitive capacity are body weight (p=0.0002), body height (p=0.0001), knee height (p=0.0387), upper arm length (p=0.0114), age (p=0.011), sex (p=0.014), and history of hypercholesterolemia (p=0.003). Logistic regression shows that body height, age, and history of hypercholesterolemia are simultaneously affecting cognitive capacity.Conclusion: There is significant relationship between body height, body weight, upper arm length, knee height, and cognitive capacity on elderly population with obesity.

CORRELATION BETWEEN ULNARIS NERVE LENGTH IN POSTERIOR COMPARTMENT AND UPPER LIMB LENGTH AS:A REFERENCE FOR THERAPYABSTRACT Introduction: Ulnar nerve is the second most common affected nerve by compression in upper extremity. Medial intermuscular septum separating upper arm into anterior and posterior compartments is suspect to be the sites of ulnar nerve compression. Various examinations attempt to locate accurate nerve compression sites to minimize surgery side effects.Aim: This study analyze ratio of ulnar nerve length in posterior compartment using anatomical dissection method with upper arm  length using anthropometry method and  to analyze correlation of ulnar nerve length in posterior compartment with upper arm  length.Methods: This is a descriptive analytical study with a cross sectional design on cadaver between May to June2017 at Anatomy Laboratorium Medical Faculty University of Padjajaran, Bandung. The length of cadaver upper arm was measured with antropometry method and ulnar nerve length in posterior compartment by anatomical dissection. The measurements were statistically analyzed with Pearson correlation.Result: The average length of 9 cadaver or 18 right upper arm (right and left) was 38.3cm for right and 38.0cm for left. While the average length of right and left ulnar nerve in posterior compartment were 11.7cm and 11.4cm respectively, thus the average ratio length of upper arm with ulnar nerve length was 1:3. Analysis using Pearson correlation show a positive correlation on left and right arm, although not significant. Contrast to existing theory, the ulnar nerve crossed in one-third of the posterior upper arm compartment. In minimal invasive decompression this finding could be reference to extend the incission to become 11.7cm for right and 11.4cm for left arm to avoid re-decompression.Discussion: The average ratio length of upper arm with ulnar nerve length was 1:3. There is a positive between thelength of ulnar nerve on the posterior compartment and the length of upper arm, although not significant.Keyword: Posterior compartment, ulnar nerve length, upper arm length ratioABSTRAKPendahuluan: Saraf ulnaris menempati urutan kedua saraf yang sering terkena sindrom kompresi pada ekstremitas atas. Septum intermuskularis medial yang memisahkan lengan atas menjadi bagian kompartemen anterior dan posterior dicurigai menjadi salah satu tempat terjadinya kompresi saraf ulnaris. Berbagai pemeriksaan berupaya menemukan lokasi kompresi saraf yang akurat untuk meminimalisir efek samping dari terapi khususnya operasi.Tujuan: Menilai hubungan perbandingan panjang saraf ulnaris di kompartemen posterior berdasarkan diseksi anatomis dengan panjang lengan atas secara antropometri.Metode: Penelitian deskriptif analitik secara potong lintang pada kadaver pada bulan Mei hingga Juni 2017 di Laboratorium Anatomi Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Padjajaran, Jatinangor. Panjang lengan atas kadaver diukur secara antropometri, sedangkan panjang saraf ulnaris pada kompartemen posterior berdasarkan diseksi anatomi. Hasil pengukuran dinilai secara statistik menggunakan uji korelasi Pearson.Hasil: Pengukuran terhadap 9 kadaver atau 18 lengan atas (kanan dan kiri) mendapatkan rerata panjang lengan atas kanan 38,3cm dan kiri 38cm. Adapun rerata panjang saraf ulnaris kanan dan kiri di kompartemen posterior masing- masing 11,7cm dan 11,4cm, sehingga didapatkan perbandingan rerata panjang jarak lengan atas dengan panjang saraf ulnaris adalah 1:3. Analisis uji korelasi Pearson menunjukkan hubungan positif pada lengan kiri dan kanan walaupun tidak signifikan. Saraf ulnaris didapatkan menyilang di sepertiga kompartemen posterior lengan atas, berbeda dengan teori yang ada. Pada operasi yang memakai metode minimal invasive decompression, temuan ini dapat menjadi pertimbangan untuk memperluas garis insisi 11,7cm pada lengan kanan dan 11,4cm kiri untuk menghindari dekompresi ulang.Diskusi: Didapatkan perbandingan rerata panjang saraf ulnaris di kompartemen posterior dengan panjang lengan atas 1:3. Terdapat hubungan positif antara panjang saraf ulnaris di kompartemen posterior dengan panjang lengan atas walaupun tidak bermakna.Kata kunci: Kompartemen posterior, panjang saraf ulnaris, perbandingan panjang lengan atas

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships between swimming speed (SS), stroke length (SL), and stroke frequency (SF) for competitive single-arm amputee front crawl swimmers and assess their relationships with anthropometric characteristics. Thirteen highly trained swimmers (3 male, 10 female) were filmed underwater from a lateral view during seven increasingly faster 25-m front crawl trials. Increases in SS (above 75% of maximum SS) were achieved by a 5% increase in SF, which coincided with a 2% decrease in SL. At SSmax, interswimmer correlations showed that SF was significantly related to SS (r= .72;p< .01) whereas SL was not. Moderate but nonsignificant correlations suggested that faster swimmers did not necessarily use longer and slower strokes to swim at a common submaximal speed when compared with their slower counterparts. No correlations existed between SL and any anthropometric characteristics. Biacromial breadth, shoulder girth, and upper-arm length all significantly correlated with the SF used at SSmax. These findings imply that as a consequence of being deprived of an important propelling limb, at fast swimming speeds SF is more important than SL in influencing the performance outcome of these single-arm amputee swimmers.
