Introduction: Adequate nutrition is essential for proper growth and development of the child. We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study to find the prevalence of nutritional status of 6–59 month old Tharu children in Duruwa VDC of Dang District. This study also deliberate the socio-economic and demographic character, maternal and child character and child feeding status of the Tharu community children. Methods: This study is a cross-section descriptive study and was done between February and March, 2017 in Tharu community of Duruwa VDC, Dang. Total 189 children of age group 6 – 59 months were selected by using systematic random sampling technique; anthropometric measurements were performed to find the nutritional status of children. Pre-coded questionnaire was used to collect information from caretaker. WHO Anthro version 3.2.2 and SPSS version 20 were used to analyze data. Results: Prevalence of wasting, stunting, and underweight were 25 (13.2%), 51 (27%), and 40 (21.2%) respectively. The prevalence of stunting was seen more in females than in males while underweight was higher among males, whereas wasting was very similar in both sexes. Conclusions: The findings showed that there is still high prevalence of malnutrition in Tharu children of Duruwa VDC. So monitoring of nutrition status in Tharu children should be taken seriously and needs to be addressed.

Nutritional Status Of Children

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.

Nutritional Status Of Children

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.

In 2007 in Indonesia the prevalence of malnourished underfi ves was 8.8% and malnourished was 19.2%. At the Province of Sulawesi Tenggara the prevalence of under nutrition is 2.7% and undernourishment is 13.6%. At Kendari Municipality the prevalence of malnutrition is 0.9% and undernourishment is 3.2%.<br /> <br />Objective: To identify the association between occupational status of mothers and nutrition status and development of children of 1 – 3 years at Subdistrict of Kendari Municipality.<br /><br />Method: This observational research used a cross sectional design and was carried out at Subdistrict of Kendari Municipality.

There was signifi cant association between occupation of mothers and feeding pattern of children (p=0.32; OR=2.30). Factor of feeding pattern had the greatest contribution (3%) to undernourished nutrition status; and duration of rearing contributed as much as 3% to delayed child development.<br /> <br />Conclusion: There was no association between occupational status of mothers and nutrition status and development of children of 1-3 years. There was association between occupational status of mothers and feeding pattern of children of 1 – 3 years.
