Nutritional Status Of Children

Background: Malnutrition in under five children is prevalent in our country.  It makes them prone to infections and increases child mortality. This can be controlled by identifying and modifying the predisposing factors. Objective: To assess nutritional status and to analyze the influence of various demographic factors on nutritional status of under five children. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Shifa Falahi and Community Health center in Islamabad. Children under five years of age were included. Information was collected from mothers on a self-designed questionnaire. Weight and height of children was recorded and classified according to WHO Z score. Data was evaluated on SPSS 20. Univariate analysis was done to determine independent effect of each predictor on outcome. Results: Total of 280 patients were enrolled. 162 (57. 9%) of them were malnourished. Stunting was seen in 24.6% cases, while 26.1% were underweight. Wasting was seen in 19.6% cases. More males were stunted (27.9%) and underweight (27.27%) as compared to females (21.2%) and (24.8%) respectively. Low household income (p value 0.014), poor maternal education (p value 0.018), joint family system (0.002), unboiled drinking water (0.008) and repeated diarrheas (0.02) were found significantly associated with malnutrition. Most of the mothers (>75%) had adequate knowledge of breast feeding, vaccination, seeking medical advice for their babies. Conclusion: All forms of childhood malnutrition are prevalent. Poor socioeconomic status and maternal illiteracy are strong contributors towards malnutrition. Unboiled drinking water and diarrheas are further aggravating the nutritional status of children.

Nutritional Status Of Children

Nutrition / nutrition problems occur in every life cycle and throughout the life cycle of women, starting from the womb (fetus), infants, children, adults and old age. The period of the first two years of life is a critical period, because during this period there was very rapid growth and development. Nutritional disorders that occur in this period are permanent, cannot be recovered even though nutritional needs in the next period are met. Data obtained from the Cikoneng Health Center in Cikoneng Sub-district of Ciamis District in 2017 in January the nutritional status of children under five was obtained, but the total number of malnourished sufferers was 29 children. Then in 2018 experienced an increase of 46 children consisting of 42 undernourished children and 4 malnourished children out of 789 children who could be measured and in 2019 there were 213 people. The method used in this research is analytic descriptive research method. The population in this study were all mothers and toddlers aged 3-5 years in Sindangsari Village, Cikoneng District, Ciamis Regency amounted to 213 people. The sampling technique used was using random sampling technique. The results of this study were the results of research of 68 respondents, mother's education in the secondary education category with good nutritional status in children as many as 15 (62.5%) respondents. Hypothesis test results using chi square obtained p value of 0.014 smaller than alpha 0.05. From the results of this study it can be concluded that there is a relationship between maternal education and nutritional status of children aged 3-5 years in Sindangsari Village, Cikoneng District, Ciamis Regency with a p-value of 0.014 smaller than alpha = 0.05.

Abstract Background: Composite Index of Anthropometric Failure (CIAF) can assess anthropometric failure by combining the three conventional index measurements of weight-for-age, length/height-for-age, and weight-for-length/height to determine the nutritional status of children under five years. This study aims to assess undernutrition using the CIAF and its determinants on children under five years in the rural area of ​​Bogor District, in Indonesia.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted during February-May 2019 among 330 pairs of mother-children (under five years). Sample selected by systematic random sampling from four villages as undernutrition pockets in the rural area of ​​Bogor District, Indonesia. The nutritional status of children was assessed by measuring weight and length/height. Then, Z-score was calculated using WHO Anthro software and categorized based on conventional indices that included weight-for-age (WAZ), length/height-for-age (HAZ), weight-for-length/height (WHZ). CIAF is measured based on a combination of conventional index measurements. In addition, the characteristics of mother’s and child, and clean living behavior measured by structured questionnaires. Meanwhile, environmental sanitation is assessed by the environment meter. Binary logistic regression analysis with SPSS version 22.0 was used to analyze the dominant factors associated with undernutrition.Results: The prevalence underweight, stunted, and wasted was 27.8%, 29.7%, and 10.6% respectively. Children who are undernutrition are 42.1% according to the CIAF of which about a quarter (17.8%) of undernutrition children experience a single anthropometric failure, about half (22.2%) had dual failure, and 2.1% had multiple failures. The most dominant factor associated with underweight, stunted, and wasted is family income [p-value=0.018; AOR=5.44; 95% CI: 1.34-22.11], mother's height [p-value=<0.001; AOR=3.29; 95% CI:1.83-5.91], and child's age [p-value=0.013; AOR=2.59; 95% CI: 1.22-5.47] respectively. Mother's height is the most dominant factor associated with anthropometric failure (CIAF) [p-value=0.008; AOR=1.95; 95% CI: 2.19-3.19].Conclusion: CIAF is worthwhile in preventing undernutrition in children under five years. The CIAF can identify more malnourished children than the conventional index. CIAF can use more widely in various regions in Indonesia and other developing countries. Furthermore, improvements in improving nutrition for mother’s in the child since the First 1000 days of life period are needed to determine optimal nutritional status as an indicator of growth success.

Weighing the child's weight every month to find out the nutritional status of children is one of the routine activities at the Posyandu. One effort to reduce the problem of malnutrition in children is to increase the participation of mothers in visiting and weighing their children to the Posyandu every month. This study aims to determine the relationship between the numbers of Posyandu visits with the nutritional status of children under five. This study uses a descriptive correlation design with a retrospective approach. The study was conducted in the working area of ​​the Amplas Health Center with a sample of 382 mothers and children under five years old using a proportional random sampling technique based on the number of Posyandu. The measuring instrument used was an Observation sheet and a child's weight-weighing registration book. The analysis used in univariate analysis to determine the frequency distribution and bivariate analysis using chi-square. The results showed that 145 people (38%) regularly visited Posyandu and 237 people (62%) did not regularly visit Posyandu. Children who have good nutritional status are 203 people (53.1%), malnutrition is 109 people (28.5%), and malnutrition is 70 people (18.3%). The bivariate analysis results obtained p-value (0.00) <ɑ (0.05), so it can be concluded that there is a correlation between the number of Posyandu visits and the nutritional status of children under five. Suggestions for puskesmas staff to be able to conduct training and health education to cadres and improve health facilities in Posyandu.
