The importance of paying attention to nutritional status in early childhood is useful for maximizing the growth phase of early childhood. One way to assess nutritional status for early childhood can be assessed by means of anthropometric measurements. Anthropometric measurements are measurements of various dimensions and body compositions of various ages, such as baby length, head circumference, height, weight, chest circumference, and upper arm circumference. TK Aisyiyah 15 Bustanul Athfal Banjarmasin is one of the schools that has not implemented early detection of the growth and development of pre-school children because the teachers do not understand how to examine and document the results of the examination. Efforts to strengthen the Stimulation, Detection and Early Development Development Program (SDIDTK). Methods ranging from FGDs, training and mentoring so that teachers acquire comprehensive skills in anthropometric examinations. The activity was carried out in August and was continued with mentoring for teachers to be able to monitor and evaluate activities. The results of activities in efforts to strengthen stimulation, detection and early intervention programs for growth and development produce skills for teachers in conducting anthropometric examinations and screening children's growth and development. Efforts to strengthen the program of stimulation, detection and early intervention for growth and development can increase teachers' knowledge in conducting anthropometric examinations and growth screening.

The prevalence of malnutrition is high in Rwanda especially in Ruhango District of Southern Province (23.5% in 2009). The contribution of soybean ( Glycine max L) , which is an important source of high quality and inexpensive protein and oil, to improvement of nutritional status of malnourished children is unclear. Although a lot of research has been done on the production of soybean in Rwanda, research on soybean in the diet to improve the nutritional status of malnourished children has not been done. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of soybean flour and soybean milk on the nutritional status of malnourished children under the age of five. The objective was to determine the weight gain due to each treatment in comparison with the control group. This study was conducted in Ruhango District of Southern Province Rwanda. A survey was conducted where households growing and utilizing soybean were identified and anthropometric measurements were ta ken on 294 children to select malnourished children. Thirty malnourished children participate in the intervention which lasted three months. One cup (250ml) of soybean milk was supplemented to ten children per day. An equal number was supplemented with 25g of soybean flour in soup (250ml). The caregivers of the ten children in the control group received nutrition education together with the two treatment groups. Anthropometric measurements were taken every month and entered in WHO ANTHRO software. Data was analyzed by regression models using G enStat 14th edition and the magnitude of weight gain due to each of the treatments was predicted at 5% level of significance. A linear mixed model was used to estimate and compare weight gain among children fed on soybean milk and soybean flour supplement in comparison with the control group. Soybean products were found to affect weight gain of children (P = 0.04). The mean weight gain was 0.9 (±0.5 ) kg within three months of intervention. The difference in weight gain between t he two treatment groups was not significant. To improve the nutritional status o f malnourished children under five years further intervention is needed in terms of education and training on soybean based diet formulation.

Nutritional Status Of Children

Background: Adequate nutrition is an important concern in children with leukemia. Malnutrition and weight lost are common and are due to verity of mechanism involving the tumor, the host response to the tumor such as infection and pharmacokinetics of chemotherapeutic drugs. Objective: To evaluate and compare the nutritional status of children with ALL at diagnosis and after completion of induction therapy. Methodology: This prospective observational study included 60 children newly diagnosed as ALL, aged 2-15 years, over a period from April 2012 to September 2012 in the Department of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology, BSMMU. The anthropometric measurements and serum albumin level were taken. Anthropometric indices are calculated by NCHS (WHO-2000) and classified as Z score. Children <-2 SD are considered as underweight (WFA), stunted (HFA) and wasted (WFH). Serum albumin level below 21g/dl is considered as severely malnourished. The Hb values of the children are compared with normal values by age. The children got induction chemotherapy according to MRC-11 protocol. They were in regular follow up and again anthropometric measurements and serum albumin level were taken after completion of induction. Results: Out of 60 children with ALL, 48 (70%) were underweight, 45 (75%) were stunted 36 (60%) were wasted at diagnosis. Incidence of malnutrition among leukemia children after completion of induction were 24 (40%) underweight, 45 (75%) were stunted and 6 (10%) were wasted. The results showed that children in the newly diagnosed stage had a higher prevalence of malnutrition. However no statistically significant difference in the nutritional status was found among newly diagnosed and after completion of induction in term of underweight and stunting but newly diagnosed patients had statistically significant wasting than patients who had completed induction chemotherapy. No patient showed severe malnutrition based on the cut-off point for serum albumin on both stages. All the children (100%) had less than normal range hemoglobin levels. Conclusion: Malnutrition was higher in children with newly diagnosed leukemia. Children had significant differences in the nutritional status in term of wasting at diagnosis than after completion of induction therapy. So, the nutritional status of children with leukemia should be monitor periodically.

Background: Malnutrition is defined as deficiency and or imbalance of nutrients and energy and may produce a negative effect on the growth, maintenance, and specific functions of the body. This study purposed to determine the nutritional situation, to define the presence of malnutrition, to detect the deficiencies of micronutrients of the children admitted to a pediatric tertiary hospital. Methods: A retrospective, cross‑sectional, single unit-based study in pediatric patients admitted to the pediatric wards for differential diagnosis or treatment was conducted between November 2017 and December 2019. The anthropometric measurements were figured out on hospital admission of all pediatric patients. The pediatric patients diagnosed with malnutrition were assessed to detect their nutritional status/feeding habits and to identify any associated factors. Results: A total of 1206 children were hospitalized with an acute illness diagnosis and/or treatment during the study period. One hundred fifteen patients were noted to have malnutrition; acute malnutrition (wasting) (weight for height z-score < - 2 SDS) (n=51/115, 44.3%) and chronic malnutrition (stunted) (height-for-age < −2 SDS) was detected in 64/115 (55.7%) patients; the prevalence of wasting, and stunting was 4.2% and 5.3%, respectively. Conclusions: Our study suggests that it should be performed an assessment of nutritional status/ history and anthropometric measurements every admission to the hospital in order to provide healthy growth development in childhood, particularly under 2 of age and interventions should be strengthened for general child health.

Objective To assess the nutritional status of patients on maintenance hemodialysis by using modified quantitative subjective global assessment (MQSGA) and anthropometric measurements. Method We Conducted a cross sectional descriptive analytical study to assess the nutritional status of fifty four patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing maintenance hemodialysis by using MQSGA and different anthropometric and laboratory measurements like body mass index (BMI), mid-arm circumference (MAC), mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC), triceps skin fold (TSF) and biceps skin fold (BSF), serum albumin, C-reactive protein (CRP) and lipid profile in a government tertiary hospital at Kathmandu, Nepal. Results Based on MQSGA criteria, 66.7% of the patients suffered from mild to moderate malnutrition and 33.3% were well nourished. None of the patients were severely malnourished. CRP was positive in 56.3% patients. Serum albumin, MAC and BMI were (mean + SD) 4.0 + 0.3 mg/dl, 22 + 2.6 cm and 19.6 ± 3.2 kg/m2 respectively. MQSGA showed negative correlation with MAC ( r = −0.563; P = < 0.001), BMI ( r = −0.448; P = < 0.001), MAMC ( r = −0.506; P = < .0001), TSF ( r = −0.483; P = < .0002), and BSF ( r = −0.508; P = < 0.0001). Negative correlation of MQSGA was also found with total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol without any statistical significance. Conclusion Mild to moderate malnutrition was found to be present in two thirds of the patients undergoing hemodialysis. Anthropometric measurements like BMI, MAC, MAMC, BSF and TSF were negatively correlated with MQSGA. Anthropometric and laboratory assessment tools could be used for nutritional assessment as they are relatively easier, cheaper and practical markers of nutritional status.

Comprehensive Study

Detailed anthropometric measurements were made on 169 healthy children aged between 4 and 40 months during a comprehensive study of the diet and nutritional status of Asian children (of Pakistani and Bangladeshi origin) living in Sheffield. These measurements were used to describe the growth profile of these apparently healthy children and to compare this with both international and UK reference data. The distribution of values for most anthropometric measurements was close to the UK reference data although both boys and girls tended to be slight of build, and girls tended to have relatively smaller head circumferences. Nevertheless, it was concluded that their growth and nutritional status over this age range can be evaluated using standard (UK) growth charts
