Background: Malnutrition is one of the major public health concerns in developing countries. In Pakistan more than 38% of the children are under weight and stunted. Malnutrition in children has been found associated with nutritional knowledge of mothers. The current study has been conducted to assess the nutrition status of children from 6 months to 5 years of age. Objectives: To determine the association of child’s nutritional status to immunization and maternal nutritional knowledge. Study Design: Cross sectional descriptive study design was used. Setting: Mustafa Abad, District Kasur, Pakistan. Period: April to June 2018. Methods: Convenient sampling technique was used. For data collection a self-structured questionnaire was used. Nutritional status of children was measured in term of stunting, wasting and under-weight, according to the WHO’s criteria of malnutrition. Data were entered in SPSS version-20 and analyzed. Results: There was significant association (p-value <0.05) between child’s nutrition status with mothers’ nutritional knowledge. The majority of the mothers with adequate knowledge had children with normal nutrition status whereas the children whose mothers had poor nutritional knowledge were presented with stunting. The immunization coverage of this area was good as it was 99%. Conclusion: Malnutrition is prevalent in our children at alarming level. There is a need to improve the nutritional knowledge of mothers because it has a definite association with nutritional status of children under the age of five years.

The prevalence of autism in Indonesia continues to increase. Children with autism have limited choices of food that may be consumed. This limitation can affect the low or excess intake of nutrients needed by children with autism. Various factors can affect the nutritional status of children with autism. One of them is the pattern of consumption of foods that do not diet GFCF. This study aims to determine the factors that affect nutritional status in children with autism in the School of Special Needs, Kediri. The design used was cross sectional analytic. The population in this study were all children with autism in the School of Special Needs, Kediri, as many as 31 children. The sampling technique used was simple random sampling, with a sample size of 29 children with autism. The result of ordinal regression test to analyze the influence of knowledge on nutritional status was obtained p = 0,038 <α (0,05), socio-economic influence with nutritional status got p = 0,004 ;α (0,05), influence of education level with nutrient status got p = 0,412; α (0,05), and the effect of activity pattern with nutritional status obtained p = 0,059; α (0,05). The conclusion of this research is that based on the results of spearmen test, s then the variables of education, socioeconomic and educational level have correlation with nutritional status of autistic children, while the activity pattern variable is not related to nutritional status of children with autism. Based on testing of ordinal regression analysis it is found that knowledge and socioeconomic of parents influence nutritional status, sedagkan level of education and activity pattern does not affect nutritional status. Therefore, parents at home and school teachers have a very strategic role in providing nutritional intake according to the needs of children with autism, and set the pattern of activities both controlled and uncontrolled.

Malnutrition is a considerable contributor to child mortality and morbidity. Child malnutrition further affects the country’s economic development. Child malnutrition in South Africa is persistent, continuing to be an alarming burden. The nutritional status of kids under the age of five years is a critical indicator of the country’s economic condition and health status. An understanding of the influencers of the nutritional status of children can act as a catalyst in combatting all forms of malnutrition. The purpose of this paper was to review selected studies concerning the factors that affect the nutritional status of children in South Africa. Studies were selected from electronic databases, which were PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Sabinet African Journals, and the University of Zululand library catalog. The keywords that were used to search studies and articles from the selected database were: risk factors, child nutritional status, children under the age of five years, South Africa, malnutrition, underweight, stunted, wasting, and over-nutrition. Studies and surveys published from 2010–2019 that reported on the factors influencing the nutritional status of children under the age of five years were included in this review. Twenty-seven articles met the inclusion criteria of the study. The 27 articles were made up of 21 cross-sectional articles and six longitudinal articles. The finding from this review highlights that there is a lack of studies conducted in urban areas. The results show that the nutritional status of children is affected by several factors. These include household food insecurity, low household income, illiterate caregivers, unemployment, inadequate dietary intake, low birth weight, consumption of monotonous diets, poor caregiver’s nutritional knowledge, poor access to water and sanitation, poor weaning practices, age of the caregiver, and demographic characteristics of a child (age and gender). It is critical to have an understanding of the factors that affect the nutritional status of children. Such knowledge can significantly contribute to formulating policies that can enhance nutrition security and the country’s economy. Moreover, insights into strategic interventions to eradicate all forms of malnutrition can be made.

Abstract: Exclusive breastfeeding is giving ASI as early as possible after birth until the baby is 6 months old  however, there were still mothers who did not exclusively breastfeed and each of them had a job. one of these studies showed that babies who were not breastfed would have a 6-10 times higher risk of dying in the first few months.This research method uses a cross sectional study design with a population of mothers who have babies aged 6-12 months. Sampling was done by non-probability sampling with pruposive sampling technique. The number of samples were 52 respondents. Data is presented in the form of Frequency Tables. Data analysis used is univariate and bivariate analysis using the chi-square analysis method. Results of research Respondents on average have a high school education. With normal nutritional status, the average mother has a age of 17-25 years, the average mother works as a private / entrepreneur. From the chi-square test results obtained p value for nutritional status ρ = 0.02 smaller than α = 0.05, p value for age ρ = 0.03, smaller than α = 0.05, and p value for work ρ = 0.03, smaller than α = 0.05. In conclusion, the results of this study indicate that there is a significant relationship between nutritional status, age, occupation and exclusive breastfeeding in infants aged 6-12 months when mothers return to work at Wilaya Work Center at Werdhi Agung Public Health Center, Dumoga Tengah District.Keywords: Nutrition Status, Age, Employment, and Exclusive Breastfeeding Abstrak: ASI Ekslusif adalah pemberian ASI sedini mungkin setelah lahir sampai bayi berumur 6 bulan namun masih didapatkan ibu yang tidak memberikan ASI secara ekslusif, dan masing-masing dari ibu tersebut memiliki pekerjaan salah satu penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa bayi yang tidak diberikan ASI akan memiliki resiko 6-10 kali lebih tinggi meninggal pada beberapa bulan pertama.
