Pneumonia masih menjadi masalah kesehatan masyarakat yang penting di Indonesia termasuk di Kota Tasikmalaya. Diperkirakan proporsi penyakit pneumonia bayi adalah 16,4%, dan pada balita adalah 25%. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan kejadian pneumonia pada balita dengan faktor lingkungan fisik kamar tidur dan karakteristik anak. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah case control. Sampel sebanyak 300 responden terdiri dari 150 orang kasus dan 150 orang kontrol. Dari hasil uji multivariat tanpa interaksi, faktor dominan yang mempengaruhi kejadian penyakit pneumonia pada anak balita adalah status gizi dengan nilai B 1,799 dan OR = 6,041 (CI 95%=1,607-22,713). Sedangkan hasil uji interaksi diperoleh hasil bahwa faktor dominan yang mempengaruhi kejadian pneumonia anak balita adalah interaksi antara asap obat nyamuk dengan status gizi dengan nilai B 1,040 dan OR=2,828 (CI 95%=1,667-4,7988). Pada perhitungan probabilitas didapatkan hasil bahwa balita yang menderita pneumonia memiliki probabilitas odds 15,6 kali punya riwayat status imunisasi tidak lengkap (DPT dan Campak), status gizi kurang dan ada asap obat nyamuk bakar di dalam kamar tidur dibanding balita yang tidak menderita pneumonia. Disarankan agar anak balita diimunisasi lengkap (DPT dan Campak), diberi asupan makanan dengan gizi seimbang, dan tidak menggunakan obat anti nyamuk bakar di dalam kamar tidur, serta perlu disosialisasikan faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan kejadian pneumonia pada balita.Kata kunci: Pneumonia, balita, kamar tidurAbstractPneumonia is still an important public health problem in Indonesia, especially in Tasikmalaya city, West Java.

The nutritional status of a woman during pregnancy is important as a suboptimal diet impacts negatively on the health of the mother, the fetus and the newborn. There is limited knowledge in the area of malnutrition and factors’ affecting it among pregnant women despite evidence showing that maternal nutrition has important direct and/or indirect consequences for all other age. The objective of the study was to assess the determinants of dietary diversity and nutritional status of pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at Armed Forces Comprehensive Specialized Hospital. The study was cross-sectional and conducted by using both quantitative and qualitative methods. A multistage sampling procedure was employed to draw 320 samples, pregnant women. The women were selected in random through balloting among the first five pregnant women to arrive at the antenatal clinic and thereafter systematic sampling was used and every fourth woman that arrived were sampled until the sample size is met. The data were analyzed by using a software STATA version 14. Descriptive statistics to determine the dietary diversity and nutritional status were done and also to characterize the nutritional status. The statistical model namely, logistic and ordered logistic regression was used for factors affecting the dietary diversity and nutritional status. A P value of <0.1 was considered statistically significant. According to the logistic model interpretation, negative relation implies that the dependent and independent variables are inversely related; while the positive association is the outcome and independent variable have direct relations. The findings of the descriptive analysis indicated that low dietary diversity was experienced by 61.56 percent of the respondents and the rest of the study population was in a high dietary diversity. Based on Mid-upper arm circumference cut-offs 0.31 percent were severely malnourished, while 3.44 percent were moderately malnourished and 96.25 percent were well nourished. Findings from logistic regression revealed that income, meals that were eaten in the last 24 hours, and anemia have positively and significantly affects dietary diversity while not taking iron-fortified foods affects negatively. The results from the ordered logit model indicate that severe undernutrition is determined by not taking micronutrient daily positively where ever income and cleaning utensil properly impact negatively, although moderate undernutrition is associated with not taking micronutrient daily positively and negatively with cleaning utensil properly. Though being nourished is affected by not taking micronutrient daily negatively and positively by cleaning utensil properly. Whereas by World Health Organization hemoglobin cut-offs 2.50 percent, 11.56 percent, and 85.94 percent were in severe anemia, moderate anemia, and normal hemoglobin level respectively. The results from the multinomial regression model reveal that severe anemia is negatively associated with dietary diversity. At the same time, moderate anemia is affected positively by not taking micronutrient daily and negatively by age, dietary diversity score and morbidity status of the pregnant women. Similarly being in normal hemoglobin cut-off was affected positively by age, dietary diversity and morbidity, negatively affected by not taking micronutrient daily. Finally, the findings conclude that dietary diversity and nutritional status were very poor and socio-demographic, socio-economic, micronutrient supplementation, morbidity, environmental factors, and dietary diversity influence the nutritional status of pregnant women. It is recommended that promotion of dietary diversity and modification of diets be carried out through practical demonstrations in the community and health facilities and there should be income generation practices and entrepreneur encouragements should be practiced.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of anaemia in children aged six months to fifteen years old treated in a single centre from 2008 to 2018. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted among 274 children age six months to fifteen years old, treated in Advanced Medical and Dental Institute (AMDI), Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) from 2008 to 2018. The data was obtained from computerised hospital data (CARE2X), Laboratory Information System (LIS) or medical record. Parents of the eligible participants were called for any incomplete data and verbal consents were obtained. Descriptive analysis was conducted to determine the prevalence whereas the relationship between independent variables with types of anaemia were examined using simple logistic regression. Results: The prevalence of anaemia was 22.3%. Among the anaemic children, the predominant morphology form was hypochromic microcytic anaemia (82%) followed with normochromic normocytic anaemia (18%). Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) was found to be the commonest cause (24%) of hypochromic microcytic anaemia, followed by IDA with concomitant thalassaemia (14%) and thalassaemia alone (8%). In simple logistic regression analysis, no significant association was found. Conclusions: The prevalence of anaemia was 22.3%, which is considered as moderate public health problem according to WHO. Hypochromic microcytic anaemia was the predominant red cell morphology (82%) and IDA was the commonest causes (24%).

Identification of malnutritional risk and nutrition status evaluation of pediatric cancer patients with chemotherapy treatmentBackground: Hospitalized childhood cancer patients had a high risk for malnutrition, either caused by the disease or effects of cancer treatment. Malnutrition in cancer patients gives negative impacts on treatment outcomes in the form of increasing morbidity and mortality rates. Nutrition screening for identifying malnutrition risks could prevent malnutrition in hospitals.Objectives: Investigating the influence of malnutrition risk during hospitalization on the changes in the nutritional status of childhood cancer patients with chemotherapy treatment. Methods: This research was observational research with the nested case-control design. The research subjects were childhood cancer patients aged 2-18 years old meeting the inclusion criteria. They were 64 in number consisting of the case group involving 32 patients and a control group involving the rest. During hospitalization, analyses of nutritional intake, change in body weight, nutritional status, and hospitalization period. Furthermore, the analyses of the influence of malnutrition risk on the outcome between those two groups were then compared. Results: There was a significant influence of malnutrition risk on less energy intake (p<0.001), less protein intake (p=0.002), weight loss >2% (p<0.001), poor nutritional status based on the BMI/U (p=0.011), and longer hospitalization (p=0.034). The group of patients with malnutrition risks had risks of 15.5 (CI 95%: 3.991-63.359) times higher for less energy intake, 6.12 (CI 95%: 1.675-24.906) times higher for less protein intake, and 45.3 (CI 95%: 5.666-1940.768) times higher for weight loss > 2% than the group of patients without malnutrition risks.Conclusions: Patients with a significant risk of malnutrition had less energy and protein intake, weight loss > 2%, poor nutritional status based on BMI/U, and longer hospitalization.

Purpose – Identifying and addressing poor nutritional status in school-aged children is often not prioritized relative to HIV/AIDS treatment. The purpose of this paper is to elucidate the benefits of integrating nutrition (assessment and culturally acceptable food supplement intervention) in the treatment strategy for this target group. Design/methodology/approach – The authors conducted a randomized, double blind pre-/post-intervention trial with 201 HIV-positive children (six to 15 years) in Botswana. Eligibility included CD4 cell counts < 700/mm3 (a marker for the severity of HIV infection), documented treatment with antiretroviral (ARV) drugs, and no reported evidence of taking supplemental food products with one or more added nutrients in the six-month period prior to the study. The intervention (12 months) consisted of two food supplements for ethical reason, one with a higher protein content, bean (bean-sorghum based) group (n=97) and a cereal (sorghum) group (n=104) both of which contained added energy- and micro- nutrients. Anthropometric and biochemical nutritional status indicators (stunting, wasting, underweight, skinfolds for fat and muscle protein reserves, and hemoglobin levels) were compared within and between the bean and the cereal groups pre- and post-intervention separately for children six to nine years and ten to 15 years. Findings – Older children (ten to 15 years) fared worse overall compared to those who were younger (six to nine years) children in anthropometric and protein status indicators both at baseline and post-intervention. Among children six to nine years, the mid arm circumference and blood hemoglobin levels improved significantly in both the bean and cereal groups (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05, respectively). Although the BMI for age z-score and the triceps skinfold decreased significantly in the bean group, the post-intervention subscapular skinfold (fat stores) was significantly higher for the bean group compared to the cereal group (p < 0.05). Among children ten to 15 years, both the bean and the cereal groups also showed improvement in mid arm circumference (p < 0.001), but only those in the bean group showed improvement in hemoglobin (p < 0.01) post-intervention. Originality/value – Similar significant nutritional status findings and trends were found for both food interventions and age within group pre- vs post-comparisons, except hemoglobin in the older children. Post-intervention hemoglobin levels for the type food supplement was higher for the “bean” vs the “cereal” food in the younger age group. The fact that all children, but especially those who were older were in poor nutritional status supports the need for nutrition intervention in conjunction with ARV treatment in children with HIV/AIDS, perhaps using a scaled up future approach to enhance desired outcomes.

Abstract The nutritional status and socio-demographic profile of tribal people is an important issue in India due to their marginalization from main stream population with respect to varied facilities. However, data on their nutritional status and socio-demographic profile are limited. This review aims to give an overview of the prevalence of chronic energy deficiency (CED) using Body mass index (BMI) and various demographic profile of Indian tribes based on studies published hitherto. In total 76 studies were reviewed for mean BMI based on the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of the public health problem of low BMI, based on adult populations worldwide. The overall sex specific prevalence of CED showed that both the tribal females (52.0%) and males (49.3%) were passing through the critical situation with respect to nutritional status with females being more underprivileged. In conclusion, although there is a gradual increase in knowledge about the nutritional and socio-demographic status of tribes since last decades; there is still paucity of data and information on more than approximately 600 tribes regarding their bio-social profile. However previous studies clearly indicate the need to enhance the health and nutrition status of the tribes by providing job opportunity and food security. Since the prevalence of CED was higher (critical to serious situation) in tribal populations, concerted efforts should also be made to improve the health status and nutrition uptake among them.

Abstract Background Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a neglected tropical disease with several infection phenotypes. In addition to mass drug administration, host immune response contributes to microfilariae clearance. An important influence of immunity, nutritional status, remains to be evaluated among filarial lymphedema patients. This study sought to assess the nutritional status of LF patients and its association with the pathology. Methods As cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the nutrition status of lymphedema patients in Ahanta West, Ghana. To obtain sociodemographic and nutrition data, a structured questionnaire was administered to the study participants. Anthropometry and 24-hour food recall were used to assess the nutritional status of participants. Results While all and 71 (82.6%) had adequate carbohydrate and protein intakes respectively, 83 (96.5%) had inadequate intake of fat. There were widespread inadequate nutrients intakes that were associated with stage of lymphedema: fat, r = -0.267, p = .024; carbohydrate, r = 0.305, p = .010; sodium, r = -0.259, p = .029; copper, r = -0.249, p = .036; selenium, r = -0.265, p = .025; pantothenic acid, r = -0.265, p = .025; vitamin B6, r = -0.270, p = .023; vitamin B12, r = -0.288, p = .015; and vitamin A, r = -0.276, p = .020. Conclusion The study shows widespread malnutrition among the participants. A nutritional intervention is recommended to complement current management strategies of filarial lymphedema.

The nutritional status of children under five is measured by age, weight and height. The weight and height variables are presented in the form of three anthropometric indicators namely weight by age, height by age, and weight by height. By using these indicators the Cipadu-Kreo health center sometimes determines the nutritional status of children under five years of age. Therefore the simple additive weighting (SAW) method is able to decide the nutritional status of toddlers by adding a toddler's body mass index variable, so as to produce the right and valid decision. Then from 20 samples of toddlers categorizing by age group. Obtained the nutritional status results there are 1 toddler get a SAW value of 0.44 with poor nutritional status, 3 toddlers with undernourished status, 8 toddlers with excess nutrition status and 8 toddlers with a balanced nutrition status with the highest SAW value with a value
