Background Early life nutrition plays a critical role in the development of better health and nutrition in adulthood. However, assessing the nutritional status of Bangladeshi children and adolescents through measurement of body composition using skinfold thickness is barely studied. The current study aims to determine children’s body composition and nutritional status, and contributing factors among children aged 2 to 15 years in the northern part of Bangladesh. Methods This is a descriptive cross-sectional study done in Bangladesh. Anthropometric methods, including multiple skinfold thickness and basic anthropometric and socio-demographic characteristics, were used. Body composition was calculated from multiple skinfold thicknesses using the standard regression equation. Nutritional status was measured using Z score according to WHO 2007 reference standard. A total of 330 children from Naogaon, Bogra and Kurigram districts in Bangladesh were examined from April 2019 to September 2019. Results The Nutritional status of 2–15 years old child is exceedingly poor in the northern part of Bangladesh. Fat mass and fat-free mass were higher among children from Kurigram district than from Bogra and Naogaon district. Body fat percentages and arm fat area were greater among female children than males. The overall prevalence of stunting, underweight and wasting was around 25%, 32% and 29%, respectively, and the rate was higher among girls and children aged 2–5 years. The average SD score for weight-for-age, height-for-age, and BMI-for-age was -1.295, -0.937 and -1.009. The median weight-for-age and height-for-age Z scores of boys and girls were below the WHO reference percentile rank. Girls were twice (OR:1.951, CI:1.150–3.331) as likely to suffer from being underweight than boys. Children who don’t practice handwashing are three times (OR:3.531, CI:1.657–7.525) more likely to be underweight. Children become underweight and stunted when their family income is not sufficient to maintain their nutritional requirements. Conclusions The children of the three northern districts had a poor nutritional status, and family income was the potential contributing factor. Therefore, interventions like the promotion of income-generating activities and integrated approaches to ensuring food diversification could be an option to address the nutritional problem of children of the three northern districts of Bangladesh.

AbstractUpper arm anthropometry has a potential role to provide useful estimations of body composition and nutritional status. Aims of the present cross-sectional study were to assess body composition and nutritional status of rural school-going children using upper arm anthropometric measures such as upper arm muscle area-by-height (UAMAH) and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) for-height. The present cross-sectional study was conducted among 1281 children of West Bengal, India (boys 619, girls 662) aged 5-12 years and selected using a stratified random sampling method. Anthropometric measurements of height, weight, MUAC and triceps skinfold (TSF) were recorded. Body composition and nutritional status were assessed using upper arm muscle area (UMA), upper arm fat area (UFA), UAMAH and MUAC-forheight. Age-sex-specific overall adiposity in TSF, UFA, arm fat index and upper-arm fat area estimates were higher among girls than boys (p<0.01), but UMA and upper-arm muscle area estimates were observed to be higher among boys than girls (p<0.05). High prevalence of undernutrition was found among both boys (53.15%) and girls (41.69%) using UAMAH (p<0.01). The overall prevalence of low MUAC-forheight was higher among boys (28.59%) than girls (25.68%) (p>0.05). Upper arm anthropometric measures, UAMAH and MUAC-for-height are useful for assessment of body composition and nutritional status among children.

Masalah gizi seimbang di Indonesia masih merupakan masalah yang cukup berat. Pada hakikatnya berpangkal pada keadaan ekonomi yang kurang dan terbatasnya pengetahuan tentang nilai gizi dan makanan yang ada. Kekurangan atau kelebihan makanan pada masa hamil dapat berakibat kurang baik bagi ibu, janin yang dikandung serta jalannya persalinan. Oleh karena itu, perhatian terhadap gizi dan pengawasan berat badan (BB) selama hamil merupakan salah satu hal penting dalam pengawasan kesehatan pada masa hamil. Untuk mengetahui “ Hubungan status gizi ibu sebelum hamil dengan penambahan berat badan selama hamil”. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah hasil desain penelitian deskriftif yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan status gizi ibu sebelum hamil dengan penambahan berat badan selama hamil. Populasi ibu hamil trimester III di wilayah kerja PMB Bidan W yaitu sebanyak 55 orang yang berkunjung ke PMB Bidan W. Untuk mendapatkan jumlah responden peneliti melakukan pengumpulan dengan tekhnik rancangan penelitian Cross Sectional Study dengan seluruh ibu hamil trimester III. Kemudian peneliti akan menghitung menggunakan rumus BMI yaitu Berat (badan dalam kg) : Kuadrat tinggi badan (dalam ukuran meter). BMI = (BB) / (TB) x (TB). Dilanjutkan dengan analisa data melalui beberapa tahap yang dimulai dengan editing, coding, tabulasi.Hasil : Hasil penelitian yang didapatkan Dari 55 responden status gizi ibu hamil bahwa hampir setengah dari responden status gizi ibu hamil dengan kategori normal sebanyak 22 orang dengan presentasi 40%. Dari 55 responden penambahan berat badan ibu selama hamil bahwa hampir setengah dari responden penambahan berat badan dengan kategori baik sebanyak 20 orang presentasi 36,4%. Ada hubungan status gizi ibu sebelum hamil dengan penambahan berat badan selama hamil di PMB Bd Warsah Kabupaten Bandung Barat. Hal tersebut dapat dibuktikan dengan hasil uji statistik menggunakan Chi – square dalam penelitian ini menunjukkan p = ,000 < 0,05.The problem of balanced nutrition in Indonesia is still a serious problem. Essentially stems from a lack of economic conditions and limited knowledge about nutrition in Indonesia. Lack or excess of food during pregnancy can have a negative effect on the mother, the fetus and the course of delivery. Therefore, attention to nutrition and control of body weight (BB) during pregnancy is of the important things in health surveillance during pregnancy. To determine the relationship between maternal nutritional status before pregnancy and weight gain during pregnancy. The type of research used is the result of a descriptive research design that aims to determine the relationship between maternal nutritional status before pregnancy and weight gain during pregnancy. The population of thitd trimester III pregnant women in the PMB Midwife W working area, west bandung district, was 55 people. To get the number of respondents, the research was was collected using a cross sectional study design technique with all 3 trimester pregnant women checking their weight and height.Then The researcher will calculate using BMI formula, namely body weight (in kg) : height squared (in maters). Followed by data analysis through several stages starting with editing, coding, tabulation. The results of the study obtained from 55 respondents of the nutritional status of pregnant women that almost half of the respondents of the nutritional status of pregnant women in the normal category were 22 people with a presentation of 40%. Of the 55 respondents who gained weight in the good category, 20 people had a percentage of 36.4%. There is a relationship between maternal nutritional status before preganancy at PMB Midwife W West Bandung Regency. This can be proven by the results of stastical test using Chi – square in this study showing p =, 000 < 0.05
