AbstractIntroductionKhalwa is an Islamic educational institution, known as such in Sudan and called elsewhere Koranic institution. Our research aimed to assess the nutritional status and its related factors among Khalwa residents in Khartoum State.MethodsA facility-based cross-sectional study was implemented in two localities of Khartoum State. A multistage sampling technique was used to selected 1273 residents. At first level, four khalwa were selected in the seven localities of Khartoum State through a stratified random sampling technique. At second level, in each of the khalwa selected, all the residents fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the study. The collected data were firstly summarized numerically and graphically. Then, associations/differences among variables were determined through chi-square tests and ANOVA. A multinomial logistic regression established the relationship between the nutritional status of the residents and its related factors. All statistical tests were considered statistically significant whenp< 0.05.ResultsThe age of 1273 residents varied from 6 to 60 years with an average age of 15 years. Their mean body mass index (BMI) of 16.6±3.4 ranged from 7.8 to 34.0. 73.8% (939/1272) of the residents were undernourished, 23.9% (23.9%, 309/1272) were well nourished and 2.3% (29/1272) were overweight/obese. The statistically significant factors related to the nutritional status of the residents were age (under-nourishedp=0.000; well-nourishedp=0.004), status in the khalwa (p=0.001 vsp=0.075), resting time (p=0.002 vsp=0.038), practices of hand washing (p=0.165 vsp=0.011) and exercising (p=0.032 vsp=0.027). The food practices, despite their contributions to the model, were not statistically significant (p > 0.05).DiscussionThe nutritional status of khalwa should be translated urgently in a community-directed intervention based on a partnership involving the affected communities, political and administrative authorities, national, bilateral and international donors to overcome the burden of malnutrition.

Oral habits are repetitive actions that are done automatically. These behaviours are started and stopped spontaneously with or without deleterious effect on the developing occlusion. Aim: To explore the family related factors associated with oral habits in children resident in sub-urban Nigeria. Methods: A cross sectional study utilizing a household survey to recruit 992 1year to 12-year-olds. Information collected using a structured questionnaire included gender, family structure (parenting structure, birth rank, number of siblings, socioeconomic status) and types of non-nutritive habits. The association between family structures related variables and presence of non-nutritive oral habits was determined using Chi square. Logistic regression was used to determine the predictors of presence of oral habits. Results: There was no significant association between the prevalence of oral habits and parenting structure (p=0.52), birth rank (p=0.50) and socioeconomic status (p=0.14). However, the association between oral habits prevalence and number of siblings the child had was significant (p=0.03). The odds of having a non-nutritive oral habit reduced insignificantly for those from middle (AOR: 0.67; 95% CI: 0.42-1.08) and low (AOR: 0.96; 95% CI: 0.59-1.55) socioeconomic class when compared with those with high socioeconomic status; and for last born and only children (AOR: 0.94; 95% CI: 0.56-1.60) and children with 2-4 siblings (AOR: 0.62; 95% CI: 0.36-1.09) when compared with those that have more than 4 siblings. The odds were higher for children who were living with single parents or guardians (AOR: 1.41; 95% CI: 0.76-2.59; p=0.27) and for males (AOR: 1.21; 95% CI: 0.82-1.78). Conclusion: The study was unable to identify a significant family related predictor of presence of non-nutritive oral habits in the study population though a number of these factors increased the odds of having the habits. There is need to explore if specific family factors are associated with the presence of specific non-nutritive habits in this group of children.

Nutritional problems in children are still common, including malnutrition and overweight and obesity. If this problem is not resolved it will have an impact on lack of learning achievement. This study aims to identify the nutritional status of elementary school children and their correlation with learning achievement in mathematics. This cross sectional study used a sample of 56 children in grade 1 elementary school. Nutritional status assessment is based on the Republic of Indonesia's Minister of Health Regulation No. 2 of 2020 concerning Child Anthropometry Standards. Category and threshold (Z score) nutritional status of children based on body mass index according to age (IMT / U) of children aged 5-18 years. Learning achievement is measured by the report card grades for mathematics subjects. Data analysis with Pearson product moment test and Chi-square. The results showed the nutritional status of children; thin: 6 people (10.7%), normal: 37 people (66.1%), fat: 4 people (7.1%) and obese: 9 people (16.1%). The average value of mathematics subjects is 93.16 ± 3.677. There is a relationship between nutritional status and learning achievement in mathematics (p = 0,000). Nutrition problems in children both undernutrition and over nutrition (overweight and obese) need to be addressed so that learning achievement in the future will be optimal.

Purpose: In Canada, the incidence of childhood obesity has tripled within the past 20 years. The prevalence of obesity in the Timmins, Ontario, student population was studied to gain knowledge for program planning and resource allocation, and to compare Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) criteria with Cole’s international criteria for childhood obesity. Methods: Anthropometric measurements of 801 students were taken. Students were chosen from randomly selected schools for each grade. Data were analyzed according to age, gender, and ethnicity. Data were also compared with other studies. Intragroup comparisons were performed using hypothesis testing for significance with the z table and chi-square test. Results: Overweight and obesity prevalence was 28% according to CDC criteria. No statistical difference was found between genders or among ethnic groups, or between this study and other Canadian studies. In comparison with the CDC criteria, Cole’s international criteria indicated less obesity and increased overweight prevalence. These differences were not statistically significant. Conclusions: The findings suggest that in the northern Ontario community of Timmins, the prevalence of childhood obesity is of epidemic proportions. When the findings are shared with different agencies, this study will help the health unit to take necessary public health measures to curb the epidemic.

The scope of this article is to describe persons with disabilities (PwD) being subjected to cancer screening and the relationship between some social variables and inequalities in performing these tests. A cross-sectional study of cancer screening among PwD was conducted in 2007 with 333 participants interviewed in residence in 4 cities of São Paulo. Variables in the practice of cancer screening, disabilities, gender, age, income of main family breadwinner, ethnicity, use of health services, assistance required, private health insurance, and coverage by the family health program were studied. Frequencies, χ²-test, trend χ² percentages and the Odds Ratios (OR) were used for data analysis. 44% of PwD attended at least one cancer screening at the appropriate time. Persons with visual disabilities and with hearing disabilities were subjected to more screening examinations than those with mobility disabilities and women were attended in screening exams more than men. Persons between the ages of 21 and 60 reported cancer screening more frequently than those between 80 and 97 years of age. The outcomes indicate that PwD have different attitudes toward cancer screening according to the type of disability, gender, and age, which were the variables that directly influenced cancer screening exams.
