Purpose The socioeconomic conditions of urban waste collectors are vulnerable. However, their nutrition vulnerability remains undocumented. Here we focused on dietary practices and the nutritional status of waste collectors of Dhaka city in Bangladesh. Methods A cross-sectional design was employed that included 130 waste collectors from 15 different sites of Dhaka city. The 24-hours recall method, body mass index (BMI) and BMI for age Z-score were used to determine dietary practices and nutritional status respectively. Chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, and multinomial logistic regression analysis were used to observe the associations and their risk factors. Results The majority (58.5%) of the waste collectors were normal by BMI whereas 36.2%, 4.5%, and 0.8% were underweight, overweight, and obese respectively. The prevalence of underweight was higher among males and respondents less than 18-years old (P<0.001). The dietary pattern of the respondents was poor. Meals were mainly rice and vegetable-based. Consumption of meats, eggs and fruits was low. Only 18.4% and 16.92% respondents were found to consume meat and eggs at least once a day, respectively. In addition, 78.5% consumed insufficient foods in their main meals, 9.2% had skipped meals and 13.1% consumed stale food and food waste regularly. Consumption of less than three main meals a day and food of poor dietary quality were risk factors of underweight. Conclusion Findings demonstrated that waste collectors in Dhaka city had poor nutritional status which was primarily associated with inadequate dietary intake. Increased quality and quantity of food in the diet, which could be achieved through appropriate health and nutritional support, are needed to overcome the situation.

Abstrak Latar belakang: Status gizi perempuan di Indonesia cenderung memburuk. Hasil Riset Kesehatan Dasar (Riskesdas) menunjukkan bahwa kekurangan energi kronis (KEK) pada wanita usia reproduksi meningkat dari 13,6 persen pada 2007 menjadi 20,8 persen pada 2013. Ibu hamil yang kekurangan gizi akan berdampak buruk pada bayinya. Tujuan: Memperoleh determinan status gizi kurang yaitu KEK dan Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT) rendah dari wanita hamil di Indonesia pada tahun 2013. Metode: Penelitian menggunakan data Riskesdas 2013. Analisis dilakukan dengan multivariat regresi logistik. Jumlah sampel adalah 7236 ibu hamil. Ibu hamil dikatakan KEK jika pertengahan lingkar lengan atas (LILA) < 23,5 cm dan IMT diukur dengan pendekatan metode Broca. Hasil: Determinan ibu hamil KEK dan IMT rendah adalah tinggal di perdesaan (AOR 1,20; 95% CI [1,11-1,13]), usia <20 tahun (AOR 1,62; 95% CI [1,60-1,65]), paritas 1 anak (AOR 2,04; 95% CI [2,02-2,06]), berpendidikan rendah (AOR 1,92; 95% CI [0,91-0,93]) dan status ekonomi rendah (AOR 3,36; 95% CI [3,31- 3,41]). Kesimpulan: Pendidikan harus ditingkatkan minimal hingga sekolah menengah atas sehingga pengetahuan gizi ibu meningkat dan kehamilan dini dapat dicegah. Ibu dengan status ekonomi rendah harus menjadi prioritas dalam pelayanan ibu dan upaya intervensi gizi. Kata kunci: Sosial ekonomi, lingkar lengan atas, KEK, BMI, gizi ibu hamil. Abstract Background: The nutritional status of women in Indonesia tends to worsen. Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) showed that chronic energy deficiency (CED) among women of reproductive age increased from 13.6 percent in 2007 to 20.8 percent in 2013. Pregnant women who are lack of nutrition will have an impact on their babies. Objective: To determine the determinants of poor nutritional status which are CED and low body mass index (BMI) of pregnant women in Indonesia. Method: This study used 2013 Riskesdas data. The analysis was done using multivariate logistic regression. The total sample was 7236 pregnant women. Pregnant women with CED are those who have mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) of less than 23.5 cm and BMI was measured by the Broca method approach. Results: The determinants of pregnant women with CED and low BMI are living in rural area (AOR 1.20; 95% CI [1.11-1.13]), age of <20 years (AOR 1.62; 95% CI [1.60-1.65]), having 1 child (AOR 2.04; 95% CI [2.02- 2.06]), having low education (AOR 1.92; 95% CI [0.91-0.93]) and low economic status (AOR 3.36; 95% CI [3.31- 3.41]). Conclusion: Education must be improved to at least high school degree, so that the mother's nutritional knowledge will increase, and early pregnancy will be prevented. Mothers with low economic status must be priority in maternal cervices and nutrition interventions. Keywords: Socioeconomic, nutrition, mid-upper arm, CED, BMI, nutrition of pregnant women

Chronic Energy Deficiency

Background: Adequate nutritional status of expectant mothers is essential for their health maintenance and good pregnancy outcome. To assess the anthropometric measurements of pregnant women.Methodology: Cross sectional study, 245 pregnant women was included whom attended at antenatal clinic of Dhaka Medical College hospital. Main outcome measures: 38% pregnant women were found with overweight or obese and 20% were found underweight that was related with chronic energy deficiency, vitamin deficiency and Iron deficiency anemia.Result: A total of 245 women were in this study, the highest number (48.16%) was found visited in the second trimester, 32.24% were in third and 19.5% in 1st trimester respectively. The mean age of women attending in this study was 23%. It was surprising that our upcoming mother's did not have good height, around 60% were found less than five feet and 24% women were less than four feet eight inches, which indicated that a significant proportion of women might need to have surgical intervention during delivery. Not only the height, but also the weight of our respondents was found much poor and 16% of total attending women had weight below 40 kilogram.Conclusion: Our study revealed that the majority of the women suffered from chronic energy deficiency which could be the potential factor for delivering malnourished babies. All pregnant women should be motivated to have an antenatal check up throughout the pregnancy, increase birth spacing to hold their proper nutritional status and encourage them to delivery their babies in hospital.Anwer Khan Modern Medical College Journal Vol. 6, No. 1: January 2015, Pages 20-24

Children Under 5

Background: In Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC), including Kenya, undernutrition has been the most significant contributor to child morbidity and mortality. Knowledge and practices of mothers/caregivers have been identified as a key sustainable factor for consideration in determining the nutritional status of children. The study aim was to determine how caregiver knowledge and socio-economic status will impact on nutritional status of children under 5 years. Methods: This study was conducted in Kwale County, Kenya, to assess baseline maternal and child parameters. Seven hundred pairs; children and their primary caregivers were sampled at baseline. Results: A total of 681 households comprised of caregiver and index child pair participated in the survey from the sampled 700. Knowledge scores of food functions, breastfeeding and complementary feeding were combined to assess caregivers’ nutritional knowledge with a maximum score of 24. The median score was 11 (IQR: 9-12) and ranged from 0 to 24. Those with scores of 12 and above (50% plus) were 230 (33.2%). Stunting was 29.8% and the level of under-weight was 16.4%. No significant association was found between nutritional knowledge of the caregivers and nutritional indicators of children under 5 years, but there were significant differences (P= 0.002) in the Knowledge score of caregivers between the five wealth quintiles. Conclusion: Most of the caregivers did not have any nutritional knowledge which was assessed as knowledge of food groups and sources and functions of different foods as well as knowledge in breastfeeding and complementary feeding.
