Background : Age of children is the important demographic factor that is involved in nutritional status of children. The preschool age of children is the formative period in which growth and development of children occur. The deficiency of calories and minerals in the preschool age could result in to malnutrition in children. Participants and Methods : Present study was comprised of total 440 children which were selected through two stage random sampling method. The children between 2 years to below 5 years were the sampling units. The study was conducted at the city Fazilka in Punjab in Indi Results and Discussion : The study population was comprised of total 440 preschool which were categorized into three age groups as 2y to 3y with children (n/N=169/440) representing 38.4% in schools, other age group between above 3y to 4y with children (n/N=146/440) representing 33% in anganwadis and the age group above 4y to below 5 years with children (n/N=125/440) representing 28.4%. The stunting in children in 2-3 years age group showed 2.47 times higher chances than the stunting probability in children above 3 to below 5 years age. The Odd ratio between age groups and pallor in preschool children was (OR=0.1986/0.4728) = (0.42) at 95%C. I. of (0.260 to 0.628). Conclusion : Age of children is significantly associated with stunting, pallor and dental caries in children.

Abstract Objective: To estimate the prevalence of periodontal disease with different indices. Methods & materials: The study population consisted of multistage stratified random sample of 1300 subjects from total population of district Ghaziabad. A cross-sectional study was conducted with multi stage stratified random sampling techniques to select the sample population. The subjects were divided into different age groups and the periodontal assessment was made on the basis of CPITN index and ESI Index. Results: The CPITN has shown to estimate incorrect periodontal disease prevalence because of its underestimation of the disease severity. A huge difference was noticed in the prevalence rate of periodontitis when subjects were examined with ESI index. Conclusion Periodontal disease was found to be highly prevalent in the study population and severity of disease increased with age. More number of subjects in younger age group were found to be healthy.

Objective. To analyze the dynamics of the incidence of helminthiasis among children, who live in the city of Perm. Materials and methods. We have retrospectively analyzed the monthly reports of the Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology of the Perm Region for 20152020. These reports include the dynamics of the incidence of helminthiasis among four age groups of children: from 1 month to 2 years, 36 years, 714 and 1517 years. Results. Enterobiosis, ascariasis and toxocarosis predominate in the structure of the morbidity in the city of Perm. We found that over the past five years, there has been an increase in the incidence of enterobiosis by 16 %, but the increase in the incidence of ascariasis and toxocarosis reduced 18 and 25 %, respectively. The rate of decline remains insufficient and the incidence of enterobiosis exceeds the All-Russian one by 2.8 times, ascariasis by 2.7 times and toxocarosis by 4.3 times in comparison with the incidence of parasitic infestations in the Russian Federation. We found that the peak incidence of each nosology falls on the preschool age from 3 to 6 years. Just at this age period, children enter organized groups for the first time, get acquainted with the world through "taste it" and have low sanitary skills. Conclusions. A routine parasitic screening is effective, since in 2020, more than a half of sick children in Perm were identified during preventive examinations (65.7 %) and only in 34.3 % of cases the diagnosis of parasitic infestation was established on the basis of clinical data.

Rate Of Speech

Both clinical and theoretical interest in stuttering as a disorder of speech motor control has led to numerous investigations of speaking rate in people who stutter. The majority of these studies, however, has been conducted with adult and school-age groups. Most studies of preschoolers have included older children. Despite the ongoing theoretical and clinical focus on speaking rate in young children who stutter and their parents, no longitudinal or cross-sectional studies have been conducted to answer questions about the possible developmental link between stuttering and the rate of speech, or about differences in rate development between preschool children who stutter and normally fluent children. This investigation compared changes in articulatory rate over a period of 2 years in subgroups of preschool-age children who stutter and normally fluent children. Within the group of stuttering children, comparisons also were made between those who exhibited persistent stuttering and those who eventually recovered without intervention. Furthermore, the study compared two metrics of articulatory rate. Spontaneous speech samples, collected longitudinally over a 2-year period, were analyzed acoustically to determine speaking rate measured in number of syllables and phones per second. Results indicated no differences among the 3 groups when articulation rate was measured in syllables per second. Using the phones per second measure, however, significant group differences were found when comparing the control group to the recovered and persistent groups.

Nutritional Status Of Children

Nutritional status is an important matter that needs to be paid attention during preschool. Malnutrition during this period will cause irreversible damage which cannot be recovered as an adult. The role of mothers in fulfilling the nutritional status of preschoolers is essential. Maternal perceptions influence the intentions and behavior of mothers in the nutritional needs of preschool children. This study aims to determine the effect of maternal perceptions on the development of children’s nutritional status at preschool age. This research was conducted at Slendro 1 Kindergarten, Slendro 2 Kindergarten, and Slendro Village PAUD Post, Gesi District, Sragen Regency (Central Java, Indonesia). The research used descriptive correlational design with cross-sectional approach. A total of 61 female student guardians who have preschool age children were used as samples. This study utilized two variables, namely maternal perception (support and barrier) as the independent variable and the nutritional status of preschool children as the dependent variable. The data were collected using a questionnaire and anthropometric measurements (BW/BH), then the data were analyzed using the Sperman Rho test (α ≤ 0.05). The results show that 59% of mothers had high perceptions and 41% of mothers had low perceptions of the nutritional status of preschool children. Statistical test results show that there is a significant relationship (ρ = 0.029) with a correlation coefficient (r = 0.280) between maternal perceptions and the nutritional status of children at preschool age. Perception has a huge influence on a mother’s intention in improving the nutritional status of a child. A positive maternal perception of the fulfillment of a child’s nutritional needs at preschool age can improve a child’s nutritional status.

Biodiversitas 20: 532-536. Burgo chicken is the result of a crossbreed of Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus gallus) with Kampung chicken (Gallus domestica). This study aimed to describe the diversity of colors found in male Burgo chickens. The study was conducted in the city of Bengkulu, Indonesia. The method used in this study was a direct observation of the 50 male chickens on the breeders. The breeders belonging to the Burgo chicken community were determined by random sampling method. The breeders who did not join the community were determined by the snowball sampling method. This method was carried out because the presence of breeders who keep Burgo chickens was unknown. The data in this study consisted of the color of chest feathers, neck feathers, wing feathers, tail feathers, saddle feathers, and the number of wing and tail feathers. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively. The number of colors ranges 4 to 11 with the high diversity is mainly found on the feathers of the chest, neck and, saddle.

Background: Reduced ovarian reserve predicts poor ovarian response and poor suc-- cess rates in infertile women who undergo Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). Ovarian reserve decreases with age but the rate of decline varies from one woman to another. Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) and antral follicle count (AFC) represent the three most frequently utilized laboratory tests in determining Ovarian Reserve (OR). To determine correlation between FSH, AMH and AFC in infertile female. Materials and methods: It was an observational (Cross sectional) study. This study was done in the Department of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, between July 2018 to June 2019. The study population consisted of all the diagnosed female infertility patients of reproductive age. The women attending the study center during study period having primary or secondary infertility was considered as study population. They were divided in 4 age groups 21-25, 26-30, 31-35 yrs and 36-40 yrs years. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire following physical & lab examination. For D2 FSH level fasting blood was collected on D2/3 of menstrual cycle, serum FSH level was measured by ADVIA Centraur(R) XP immunoassay system. For S. AMH level blood sample was collected on 2nd day of cycle and measured by BECKMAN COULTER machine using Chemiluminescent Immunoassay method. For AFC count TVS was done on D2-5 of cycle using KONTRON medical USG machine. Collected data were classified, edited, coded and entered into the computer for statistical analysis by using SPSS version 23. Results: Out of 74 patients the mean age was found 32.6±5.5 years. Serum FSH, AMH and AFC were significantly associated with different age group. A negative correlation was found between serum FSH and serum AMH in all age group. But strong correlation found in age group 31-35 yrs and in 36-40 years age group. A negative correlation was found between serum FSH and total AFC in age group 26- 30 years, 31-35 years and 36-40 years respectively. A positive correlation was found between serum AMH and total AFC in all age group but most strong in age group 31-35 years. In multivariate logistic regression analysis serum AMH (<1.0 ng/ml) and total AFC (<5 number) were found to be significantly associated with age group >35 years patients. Conclusion: In all age grqoup, FSH, AMH and AFC correlates but it is more pronounced in advanced age that means >35 years age group.
