Background: Even though there are many programs run by Government to tackle the problem of malnutrition in India, problem of malnutrition is still there. Malnutrition leads to infections and even can lead to death of child in severe cases. The mortality rate is very high compared to other countries. The objective of the study to study validity of age independent various nutritional status indices in comparison to gold standard of weight for ageMethods: Present study was institution based cross sectional study carried out at SDA high school, from January 2019 to July 2019 among 58 school children aged 34-92 months of age. Anthropometric measurements like weight, height, head circumference, chest circumference, mid arm circumference were recorded as per the standard guidelines. Weight for height, weight of age, Kanawati Index, Jeliffe’s ratio, Rao index, and Dugdales index was calculated. Gold standard used was weight for age. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were calculated for these indices.Results: Majority of the children belonged to 48-60 months and 61-72 months i.e. 29.3% each. Males were more than females. Prevalence of malnutrition was 60.3%, 48.3%, 51.7%, 91.4%, and 56.8% based on weight for age, Kanawati index, Rao index, Jeliffe’s ratio and Dugdale’s index respectively. Dugdale’s index was found to have high sensitivity (85.7%) and specificity (86.9%) compared to all other indices.Conclusions: Among age independent indices of nutritional status available, Dugdales index can be used as it has been found that it has remarkably higher sensitivity and specificity compared to other age independent indices of nutritional status.

ABSTRAK Kelompok usia yang sangat rentan terhadap masalah status gizi adalah kelompok anak usia 1–5 tahun. Status gizi pada balita berkaitan langsung dengan pola konsumsi dan penyakit infeksi. Penyakit infeksi terkait lingkungan dapat meliputi diare, Infeksi Saluran Pernapasan Atas (ISPA),dan pneumonia. Rendahnya status gizibalita dapat meningkatkan kejadian sakit pada balita. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan gizi terhadap kejadian penyakit pada balita usia 12-60 bulan Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan deskriptif dengan rancangan cross sectional study. Populasi penelitian yaitu seluruh balita di Desa Batur, Kecamatan Getasan, Kabupaten Semarang yang mengikuti penimbangan Posyandu Balita yang tersebar di 19 dusun. Teknik pengambilan sampel secara random sampling dengan responden penelitian adalah ibu yang memiliki balita berusia 12 – 60 bulan dengan status gizi kurang. Data didapat dari sumber sampel sebanyak 35 balita dengan status gizi kurang. Faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi status gizi diantaranya umur ibu, pendidikan, pekerjaan, kebiasaan makan balita, dan lingkungan fisik rumah. Permasalahan Gizi kurang erat kaitannya dengan kejadian penyakit pada balita, namun kondisi badan panas (demam), batuk, dan pilek kerap dialami oleh balita yang menandai gejala ISPA. Kasus status gizi kurang pada balita di Desa Batur dikategorikan masih tinggi dilihat dari hasil penimbangan bulan september 2017 sebesar 10,29%.   Kata kunci: cross sectional study, random sampling, status gizi, ISPA, pneumonia     ABSTRACT The age groups that are particularly vulnerable to nutritional status are groups of children aged 1 - 5 years. The nutritional status of children under five is directly related to consumption pattern and infectious diseases. Illnesses related to environmental condition may include diarrhea, upper respiratory tract infections (ISPA), and pneumonia. The low nutritional status of children under five can increase the incidence of illness in toddlers. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of nutrition to disease incidence in children aged 12 - 60 months. The method used is descriptive approach with cross sectional study design. The research population is all children under five in Batur Village, Getasan Subdistrict, Semarang Regency which follow Balita Posyandu weighing spread in 19 hamlets.Sampling was done by random sampling with the respondents of the researchwere mothers who have children aged 12 - 60 months with less nutritional status. Data obtained from the sample source as many as 35 children under-five with less nutritional status. Factors that affect nutritional status include maternal age, education, occupation, toddler eating habits, and the physical environment of the house. Problems Nutrition is less closely related to the incidence of disease in toddlers, but the condition of fever, coughs, and colds are often experienced by toddlers that indicate symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections. Cases of underweight status of children under five in Batur village are still considered high in terms of weighing in September 2017 of 10.29%.   Keywords: cross sectional study, random sampling, nutritional status, ISPA,pneumonia

Abstract OBJECTIVE Assessing maternal perception of their children's nutritional status and identifying associated factors. METHODS A cross-sectional study conducted in a small municipality with 342 children less than 3 years of age treated in Basic Health Units of São Paulo. Nutritional status was classified in percentiles of body mass index for age and maternal perception was assessed using the scale of verbal descriptors (very thin, thin, healthy weight, fat, very fat). Logistic regression was used to identify the associatedfactors. RESULTS 44.7% of maternal perception was found to beinadequate. Mothers of overweight (OR = 11.8, 95% CI: 6.4-21.7) and underweight (OR = 5.5; 95% CI: 1.9-16.2) children had a higher chance of having inadequate perception, similar to mothers of children over 24 months of age (OR = 2.9; 95% CI: 1.4-6.0). CONCLUSION For effective child care in primary care, healthcare professionals should consider maternal perception and helpmothers to identify the nutritional status of children in childcare consultations and growth monitoring.

<p>ABSTRAK<br />Pengaturan pola makan pada anak balita sangat bergantung dengan tingkat pengetahuan ibu dalam memilih, mengolah serta mengatur makanan yang dibutuhkan oleh balita. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan yang dimiliki ibu tentang gizi balita akan mendasari pemberian makan pada anak, sehingga akan menentukan pola makan anak dan selanjutnya akan menentukan status gizi anak tersebut. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui tingkat pengetahuan terhadap pola makan dan status gizi anak balita di taman kanak – kanak Denpasar Selatan. Penelitian ini termasuk jenis penelitian observasional analitik dengan rancangan penelitian cross-sectional. Hasil penelitian dari 31 orang responden mempunyai status gizi baik dan pola makan sesuai dengan tingkat pengetahuan ibu yang kurang. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada hubungan tingkat pengetahuan ibu terhadap pola makan dan status gizi anak balita taman kanak – kanak Denpasar Selatan yang ditunjukkan dengan nilai p&gt;0,05.<br />Kata Kunci : Pola makan, Status Gizi, Tingkat Pengetahuan Ibu, Balita<br />ABSTRACT<br />Dietary adjustments in children under five is very dependent on the level of knowledge of mothers in selecting, processing and arranging food needed by toddlers. This suggests that knowledge of mothers about infant nutritional would constitute feeding the child, so that will determine the child's diet and will determine the nutritional status of the child.

Nutritional Status Of Children

Background. Undernutrition among children less than 5 years is still a public health concern in most developing countries. Fathers play a critical role in providing support in improving maternal and child health. There is little studied on male involvement and its measurement in child nutrition; therefore, this paper explores the level of male involvement in child feeding and its association with the nutritional status of the children less than 5 years of age.Methods. A cross sectional study among 346 households, 3 focus group discussions, and 4 key informant interviews were conducted in one rural district in Uganda. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) of associated factors were estimated and focus group discussions and in-depth interviews were conducted and summarized into themes.Results. The study revealed the highest percentage of the males provided money to buy food for the children (93.6%), and only 9.8% have ever accompanied mothers to young child clinics.Conclusion. In this study, most males were involved in buying food for their children, and providing money for transport to young child clinics was associated with normal nutritional status of children less than 5 years in the study area.
