School Girls

This study aims to investigate the determinants of nutritional status (BMI) of school girls, selected randomly from the schools of Chittagong metropolitan area because good nutritional status is a prerequisite for good health, fertility and national productivity. The results of this study show that more than one-third (38.6%) school girls belong to underweight, 47.9% normal and 13.5% overweight. The overall mean BMI of the selected girls is found 20.03±4.06 kg/m2 with considerable variations by their background characteristics. The co-efficient of variation (20.27%) indicates that there exists extreme heterogeneity in BMI of the respondents. Co-efficient of skewness (β1=0.85) and excess of kurtosis (γ2=1.05) reflect that the distribution of BMI is positively skewed and leptokurtic. The mean BMI is found relatively high among the respondents living in the metropolitan area (21.18 kg/m2). The highest mean BMI is found among the girls belong to high family income group (21.62 kg/m2) and low (18.69 kg/m2) in lower family income group. Bivariate analysis indicates that religion, place of origin, place of residence, respondents’ education, arm circumference, fathers and mothers education and occupation, family income, family size, sibling size, skipping and cycling, duration of sporting activity and sleeping, and food intake are found to have significant association with nutritional status of the girls. The study also shows that BMI is significantly positively correlated with family income and negatively with duration of sporting activities. Multinomial logistic regression analysis illustrates that place of residence, arm circumference, mothers’ occupation, duration of sleeping and food intake is found significant predictors of BMI.

 Inability of individuals and household in providing adequate, nutritious and safe food will continue in conditions of food insecurity, which have an impact on malnutrition. Women play an important role in maintaining household food security while they are also vulnerable to food insecurity. This study aim to examine correlation between food insecurity and women nutritional status. This was a cross sectional study, with sample consist of 128 women in reproductive age who lived in palm plantation area in Kutai Kertanegara. The sampling technique was purposive. Food insecurity was assessed by the Radimer/ Cornell Hunger and Food Insecurity Instrument Questionnaire. The nutritional status of women measured by Body Mass Index and upper arm circumference. Bivariate Analysis was performed by Chi Square test. Household food insecurity was reported in 27.3% women, individual food insecurity was found in 29.7% women, and 8.6% child hunger. Bivariate analysis showed there is no significant correlation between food insecurity with nutritional status based on BMI or upper arm circumference. It should be made a comprehensive public health nutrition program to address food insecurity in remote area. Future studies would need more adequate study design and larger sample size to examine women nutritional status and food insecurity. Keywords : Food insecurity, nutritional status, palm-plantation

A total of 117 diabetic patients aged 20-65 years suffering from diabetes for at least one year were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. The study was conducted in Nawabganj Diabetic Center, a branch of Bangladesh Diabetic Association during the period from March 2001 to June 2001. The aim of the study is to assess the nutritional status of diabetic patients, which may contribute useful information for more comprehensive and intensive approach to diabetic patients care. Majority (64%) of the respondents were normal (BMI 18.5-24.99) in nutritional status followed by overweight (31%, BMI > 25) and underweight (4.3%, BMI < 18.5). Middle age group appeared to suffer more from diabetes with no sex difference irrespective of age (males: 50.4%, females: 49.6%). Diabetic care seeking behaviour by rural people and females (housewives) appeared encouraging emphasizing the need of decentralization of diabetic care center to periphery. More retired persons (50%) and housewives (32%) showed obesity (40%) and no underweight with high family income might be explained as an association of more calorie intake and less physical activities. Among the diabetic patients, retired persons and housewives appeared particularly vulnerable to become obese and on the other hand younger patients, poor education, lower income group and patients consuming low calorie were prone to develop under nutrition. So health education should be aimed to enhance awareness of particularly rural and illiterate people for regular visit to nearby diabetic center and to strictly adhere to dieticians' advice.   doi: 10.3329/taj.v17i2.3451 TAJ 2004; 17(2): 89-92

ABSTRACT Background Patients with liver disease often present protein-energy malnutrition. The assessment of food intake is very important in the investigation regarding the "health-disease" process. Objective To assess dietary intake of cirrhotic patients through food record during 3 days, correlating it with the nutritional status of the patient and the stage of the disease. Methods Cirrhotic outpatients from the Santa Casa de Misericórdia Hospital, RS, Brazil, were assessed. Nutritional assessment was performed by anthropometry; non-dominating handgrip strength; adductor pollicis muscle thickness; phase angle by bioelectrical impedance analysis; and Subjective Global Assessment. For analysis of food consumption we used the food records of 3 days using scales for weighing of all foods. Results We evaluated 25 (68%) patients, in which there was a prevalence of cirrhosis by hepatitis C virus. The upper arm circumference, handgrip strength and phase angle by bioelectrical impedance analysis diagnosed 56% of malnourished. Phase angle by bioelectrical impedance analysis and upper arm circumference were associated with Child-Pugh score (P<0.05). The average consumption of calories, carbohydrates, proteins and lipids were within the recommended. However, sodium was above the recommendations, 106±57.2 mEq, and was inversely associated with Child-Pugh score (rs=-0.410; P=0.042). Conclusion Food intake did not have a significant difference between the Child-Pugh scores and nutritional status. In addition, food intake did not vary neither according to the stage of the disease, nor to the nutritional assessment, by the phase angle by bioelectrical impedance analysis.

Background. To ascertain the potential contributors to nutritional risk manifestation and to disclose the factors exerting a negative impact on hospital length of stay (LOS), by means of poor nutritional status, in a nonselected hospitalized population.Materials and Methods. NutritionDay project questionnaires were applied to 295 adult patients. Study parameters included anthropometric data, demographics, medical history, dietary-related factors, and self-perception of health status. Body Mass Index (BMI) and Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) were calculated for each participant. MUST score was applied for malnutrition assessment, while hospital LOS constituted the outcome of interest.Results. Of the total cohort, 42.3% were at nutritional risk and 21.4% malnourished. Age, gender, BMI, MUST score, autonomy, health quality, appetite, quantity of food intake, weight loss, arm or calf perimeter (P<0.001, for all), and dietary type (P<0.01) affected nutritional status. Poor nutrition status (P=0.000), deteriorated appetite (P=0.000) or food intake (P=0.025), limited autonomy (P=0.013), artificial nutrition (P=0.012), weight loss (P=0.010), and arm circumference <21 cm (P=0.007) were the most powerful predictors of hospital LOS >7 days.Conclusion. Nutritional status and nutrition-related parameters such as weight loss, quantity of food intake, appetite, arm circumference, dietary type, and extent of dependence confer considerable prognostic value regarding hospital LOS in acute care setting.

Abstract Background: Challenges facing Kenyan government include childhood underweight, overweight and micronutrient deficiencies. These forms of malnutrition have existed in several regions of the world with their consequences spreading to old age. A total of 11% of Kenyan children are underweight while 4% are overweight. Micronutrient deficiency affects 2 billion people worldwide with iron and Vitamin A Deficiency affecting 60% and 70% of children in Sub Saharan Africa respectively. Only 72% of Kenyan children consume diets rich in Vitamin A. This study assessed the status of underweight, overweight and micronutrient deficiency among children in Kisumu County, Kenya. Methods: Cross sectional study was used that recruited 384 children aged less than 2 years. Anthropometric measurements assessed nutritional status while food frequency questionnaire assessed nutrient intake of children. STATA V.14 analyzed data. Bivariate analysis linked outcome and independent variables while multinomial logistic regression assessed factors influencing malnutritional status of children. Results: A total of 23% of children were underweight while 30% were overweight. Only 10% consumed carbohydrate adequate diets while 31% consumed foods rich in iron. Mothers earning more than Ksh 3,000 had 60% higher risks of their children being underweight compared to those earning less than Ksh 2,999 per month while children living in permanent houses had 50% lower risks of being underweight compared to those living in temporary houses. Children aged between 19 and 24 months had 80% higher risks of being overweight compared to those aged below 6 months while those living in permanent houses had 40% lower risks of being overweight compared to those living in temporary houses. Those with inadequate carbohydrate and iron intake had 20% and 80% lower risks respectively of being overweight compared to those with adequate intake. Conclusion: In Kisumu county, 23% of children were underweight while 30% were overweight. Only 31% consumed diets rich in iron sources. Mothers’ income, type of housing and micronutrient intake were associated with nutritional status of children. Interventions and policies to target this early age as is window period of opportunity.

Abstract Health problems in children, especially in terms of nutrition, are still a problem in Indonesia such as underweight and overweight, which are caused by physical activity, and vice versa, nutritional status affects children's physical activity. Nutritional status and physical activity play an important role in achieving good physical fitness, especially for school age children. Only 1 in 3 children who are active in physical activity every day. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between food intake, physical activity and nutritional status in school age children. This research uses a correlational quantitative approach. Respondents who were the subjects in this study were students in grades 3-6 at SDN 2 Saparua, totaling 120 students. The number of samples used in this study was determined using the Taro Yamane or Slovin formula which resulted in 93 students. The research instruments used in this study were a 2x24 hour food recall questionnaire, anthropometric examination, physical activity questionnaire of children (PAQ-C) for physical activity and nutritional status determined using BMI / U. The research data were processed using bivariate analysis with the help of statistical products and solutions (SPSS). Correlation analysis using Pearson. The results of hypothesis testing on food intake and physical activity with a statistical value of R = 0.652; R Square = 0.425. This means that the variables of food intake and physical activity simultaneously play a role in the nutritional status of the individual by 42.5%, while the remaining 57.5% is influenced by other factors that are not disclosed in this study. The better the score of physical activity and food intake, the better the nutritional status of the child.Keywords: food intake, physical activity, nutritional status
