The Impact

Introduction. Asthma and obesity are the most common chronic health disorders in children. Although heredity plays a significant role in their development, environmental factors and early exposure have contributed to the increasing incidence of both disorders in recent decades. The aim of the study was to estimate asthma prevalence in schoolchildren in Indjija, Srem District, Serbia, and to investigate differences in nutritional status of children with asthma as well as differences between their nutritional status and prescribed asthma medications. Material and Methods. A cross-sectional retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Primary Health Center in Indjija. Of all the medical records of children aged 6 - 14 years, a cohort of children with asthma was formed. The retrospective study evaluated their nutritional status and the prescribed asthma medications. Results. The prevalence of asthma in children aged 6 - 14 was 6.9%. Children with asthma were significantly more overweight and obese (40.5%) than children without asthma. Boys accounted for 63.7% of children with asthma, with a statistically significant gender difference. Abnormal nutritional status was found in 44.3% of children with asthma and boys with asthma were significantly more obese (23%) compared to girls (7.8%). Overweight and obese children with asthma were not prescribed significantly more medications to relieve asthma symptoms than normal-weight children. Conclusion. The prevalence of asthma among schoolchildren in Indjija was 6.9%. Children with asthma were more likely to be overweight and obese than children without asthma, whereas boys with asthma were significantly more obese than girls. No significant differences were found between their nutritional status and prescribed asthma medications.

Nutritional Status Of Children

This study aimed to investigate the correspondence between the nutritional status of children aged 7-10 years and their mothers' perceptions of their children's weight. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 1,282 children. Weight and height were measured and classified according to International Obesity Taskforce (IOTF) criteria. Mothers' perceptions were assessed based on four possible conditions. The Kappa test (k) was used to evaluate the correspondence between nutritional status and mothers' perceptions and followed by regression analyses. The prevalence of overweight and underweight was 23.2% and 5.7% respectively. Half of mothers reported that their children were "underweight"; 61.2% said that their children were "normal"; 11.8% said that their children were "above normal weight"; and 1.1% referred to their offspring as "very much above normal weight". Highest and lowest correspondence between nutritional status and mother´s perception were: underweight and much above normal weight, respectively (k = 0.217, p < 0.000). Gender and ethnicity showed significant association with the mother's perception, even after controlling for other variables. Low correspondence levels between nutritional status and mother's perception were observed, especially among obese children.

Nutritional Status Of Children

Objective. To evaluate the nutritional status of children from 12 to 36 months of age in Kimdong, a rural district in Hungyen Province, Northern Vietnam, in 2017. Subjects and Methods. A cross-sectional study was carried out on 327 children aged 12-36 months. The data collected included anthropometric measurement, serum hemoglobin (Hb), and vitamin D concentration. Blood analysis was done at the Center Laboratory of Hungyen Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital. Underweight, stunted, and wasted children were classified based on z-scores cut-off less than -2 SD of weight for age (WAZ), height for age (HAZ), and weight for height (WHZ), respectively. Overweight and obese children were defined if WHZ was more than + 2SD. Anemic child was applied when Hb concentration was less than 110 g/L while vitamin D deficiency was termed for level less than 20 ng/L. Results. The prevalence of underweight, stunted, wasted, and overweight/obese children was 7.6%, 23.5%, 6.7%, and 1.2%, respectively. The prevalence of anemia and vitamin D deficiency was 33.3% and 47.7%, respectively. Malnutrition, anemia, and vitamin D deficiency were not statistically different by sex. Malnutrition and vitamin D deficiency were not statistically different by age group but anemia by age groups was significantly different. Conclusions. Stunting is still prevalent in children aged 12-36 months in Kimdong. Moreover, anemia and vitamin D deficiency also affected children in this area. Some interventions should be conducted to improve the nutritional status of children in Kimdong district.

Introduction/Objective. The aim of this study was to examine the association between flat feet and socio-demographic factors and nutritional status in children aged 7-14 years of the Province of Vojvodina, Serbia. Methods. The research was conducted as a cross-sectional study. The survey instrument was a questionnaire, and anthropometric measurements were done using standardized procedures. To determine the impact of socio-demographic factors and nutritional status as independent variables on the flat feet in schoolchildren as a dependent variable, a multivariate logistic regression model was implemented. A multivariate model was adjusted for age, gender, type of settlement, and material status. Results. This study included 1376 children (685 boys and 691 girls). Significant differences were observed in the frequency of flat feet between normal weight, overweight and obese (p = 0.006), where obese children were rated highest in the flat foot category. Overweight children had a 1.76 times higher chance to have a flat foot than those with normal weight (OR = 1.76; 95% CI 1.08-2.88), while obese children were 1.88 times more likely to have a flat foot than those with normal weight (OR = 1.88; 95% CI 1.14-3.11). Conclusion. The research showed that nutritional status was significantly associated with the presence of flat feet in schoolchildren. The high prevalence of flat foot and obesity in schoolchildren should be accepted as a warning sign, and many public health policies should be taken to solve these issues.

Nutritional Status Of Children

Nutrition problems faced by the Indonesian nation has become more complete with many nutritional problems in children. Basic Health Research Data (RISKESDAS) in 2010 shows that Indonesia nutritional status of children aged 6-18 years as much as 35.4% is very short, as many as 66.6% are classified as short, as many as 4.6% are very thin as 9.1%, As much as 22.1% and as much as 13.1% belong to the fat. This research is an observational research and descriptive research with cross sectional design and by using quantitative approach. The sample in this research is the students of grade 4, 5, and 6 SD Putra Indonesia. The number of samples is 93 students which the total sampling method, the use of this method because the population number is not more than 100 people. The results obtained most of the diet respondents in general that most do not do breakfast, do not bring food supplies to school and like snack at school. Based on the results of assessment of nutritional status obtained information that the nutritional status of respondents based on BMI assessment If the calculated number of students with abnormal weight that is equal to 58.1%. Participants who had BMI assessment with normal weight category were 39 people (41.9%). Therefore, it is known that most students have an abnormal BMI. Generally, it takes considerable extra attention for parents and teachers to be able to monitor children in the intake of nutrition and healthy eating patterns.

Introduction Studies carried out in various parts of the world indicate that family obesity significantly affects the incidence of obesity in children. This is especially a characteristic of children whose both parents are obese. Material and methods The study was conducted using a polling method. Questionnaires were filled out by parents and brothers and sisters, including their body height and weight. The collected data served as the basis for assessing the family nutritional status. Results Statistical analysis of the results showed that obese children frequently have obese parents, brothers and sisters in regard to normal-weight children. Differences are statistically significant in relation to fathers (r=0.043), i.e. statistically obese schoolchildren have more frequently obese fathers than those of normal nutritional status. Other differences could not be considered significant (p > 0.05). Discussion Obese children have more often obese parents, brothers and sisters than normal-weight children. It was found that the nutritional status of moderately and extremely obese children was quite different from that of normal-weight children and that there was a statistically significant dependence between the nutritional status of children and their fathers. Conclusion This research showed that family obesity is a potential contributing factor to obesity of schoolchildren.

The Impact

Poor nutritional status, especially during childhood, has a negative impact on one’s early life as well as throughout their life. One of the factors that influences the improvement of children’s nutritional status is the bargaining power of the mother. Previous studies have limitations in that they often use cross-sectional data and indirect approaches to measuring bargaining power. This study aims to measure the impact of maternal bargaining power on children’s nutritional status in Indonesia. The unit of analysis is children aged 7–19 years (IFLS5) who still have and live with their parents (IFLS4). Using the OLS estimation method, the results show that maternal bargaining power significantly and positively influences the nutritional status of children (HA z-score).

Consumption Survey

Nutritional problems are the impact of consumption of nutrients that have not met the body’s needs. Poor intake can cause malnutrition, and vice versa. To find out nutritional intake, a food consumption survey is needed. The current food consumption survey still has some weaknesses when used in describing nutritional status. Researchers make a method called emoji food. Emoji food is a method used to express the perception of eating habits. Emoji food in the form of symbols adapted from emojis in the android smartphone chat application. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the use of Emoji food as a predictor of the determination of nutritional status of children aged 3-5 years in Kubu Village, Kubu District, Kubu Raya Regency. This study entered into the category of observational analytic research with a cross sectional approach where the measurement of the variables was carried out simultaneously from the individual in a single population and the measurement was only carried out at one time or period. From the results of the research BB/TB = Sig. (2-tailed) <5% (0.001 <0.05) which means BB/TB has a relationship with Emoji Food. BB/U value = Sig. (2-tailed) <5% (0.007 <0.05) which means BB/U has a relationship with Emoji Food. IMT/U Sig value. (2-tailed) <5% (0.001 <0.05) which means IMT/U has a relationship with Emoji Food. The conclusion of this study is the relationship of each of the variables of nutritional status, namely between BB/TB, BB/U, and IMT/U with the use of Emoji Food in children aged 3-5 years in Kubu Village, Kubu District, Kubu Raya District. Suggestions from this study Emoji food can be used as an alternative used in assessing and providing an overview of nutritional status.

Nutritional Status Of Children

Abstract: Based on Riskesdas 2013, national prevalence of severely underweight 5,7%, underweight 13,9%, normal 75,9% and overweight 4,5%. Many factors affect the nutritional status of children under 5 years: socio-economic, maternal education, place of residence, birth status, infection, genetic, immunization, the status of breastfeeding, complementary feeding, health care, intervals of pregnancy and birth weight. Small for gestational age (SGA) refers to infants born weighing less than the weight of pregnancy it is supposed to. Catch up growth leads low birth weight baby to reach or to exceed a normal weight later. Catch up growth spontaneously occurred in 2 years old children and without spontaneous catch up growth at 3 years, it is not possible to experience it later without therapeutic intervention. The purpose of this study is to measure the weight and height of children aged between 2-3 years old with a history of SGA, determine nutritional status and determine the relationship between nutritional status and birth weight. This research took place at Prof Dr RD Kandou Hospital Manado and samples’ house, from October to December 2014. This study was an observational analytic study with cross-sectional approach and used consecutive sampling method. There were 39 children aged between 2-3 years old with a history of SGA as samples, who were born in Prof Dr RD Kandou Hospital from December 2011 to December 2012. Nutritional status by weight for age 5,1% severely underweight, 15,4% underweight, 79,5% normal; by height for age 25,6% severely stunted, 28,2% stunted and 46,2% normal; by weight for height 5,1% wasted, 89,8% normal and 5,1% overweight; by BMI for age 5,1% stunted, 84,6% normal and 10,3% overweight. There is no relationship between nutritional status and birth weight in children aged between 2-3 years old with a history of SGA (p> 0.05).Keywords: nutritional status, birth weight, SGAAbstrak: Berdasarkan Riskesdas 2013, prevalensi nasional gizi buruk 5,7%, gizi kurang 13,9%, gizi baik 75,9% dan gizi lebih 4,5%. Banyak faktor yang yang mempengaruhi status gizi anak dibawah 5 tahun: sosial-ekonomi, pendidikan ibu, tempat tinggal, status kelahiran, infeksi, genetik, imunisasi, status menyusui, makanan pendamping, perawatan kesehatan, interval kehamilan dan berat lahir. Kecil masa kehamilan (KMK) mengacu pada bayi lahir dengan berat kurang dari berat seharusnya untuk masa kehamilan itu. Tumbuh kejar menyebabkan bayi dengan berat badan lahir rendah mencapai atau melebihi berat badan normal di kemudian hari. Tumbuh kejar spontan terjadi pada usia 2 tahun dan anak tanpa tumbuh kejar spontan pada usia 3 tahun tidak mungkin untuk mengalami hal itu kemudian tanpa intervensi terapeutik. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengukur berat badan dan tinggi badan anak 2-3 tahun dengan riwayat KMK, menentukan status gizinya dan mengetahui hubungan antara status gizi terhadap berat lahir. Lokasi penelitian di RSUP Prof Dr RD Kandou Manado dan rumah sampel penelitian, dari Oktober-Desember 2014. Penelitian ini merupakan analitik observasional dengan pendekatan potong lintang dan menggunakan metode consecutive sampling. Didapatkan sampel sebanyak 39 anak usia 2-3 tahun dengan riwayat kecil masa kehamilan yang lahir di RSUP Prof Dr RD Kandou periode Desember 2011 – Desember 2012. Status gizi menurut BB/U gizi buruk 5,1%, gizi kurang 15,4%, gizi baik 79,5%; menurut TB/U sangat pendek 25,6%, pendek 28,2% dan normal 46,2%; menurut BB/TB kurus 5,1%, normal 89,8% dan berat badan lebih 5,1%; menurut IMT/U kurus 5,1%, normal 84,6% dan berat badan lebih 10,3%. Tidak ada hubungan antara status gizi dan berat lahir pada anak usia 2-3 tahun dengan riwayat KMK (p>0,05).Kata kunci: status gizi, berat lahir, KMK
