The present work focuses on studying the effect of socio-economic factors on nutritional status of rural households under the Coochbehar-II block of Coochbehar district in West Bengal. A well-structured interview schedule was prepared to collect information about the socio-economic status and nutritional status of the respondents. As an indicator of Nutritional status, the Body Mass Index (BMI) values of the respondents were studied. In the present study, the Independent-Samples Kruskal-Wallis Test and Independent-Samples Mann-Whitney U Test (non-paramedic test) were employed to study the effect of different socio-economic variables on nutritional status of the respondents. Age of the respondents, educational qualification of the respondents, Family size, and House type of the respondents were found to significantly affect the BMI scores of the respondents. The categories of the significantly contributing variables for nutrition like age, education, and house type show significant associations with the BMI categories using Contingency table and Chi-square test.

AbstractSomatotype is the parameter used to determine the body composition, which is influenced by several factors and nutrition is the crucial one. This study aimed to determine somatotype and nutritional status as well as investigate the somatotype variations in relation to the age and nutritional status among the adult males of Sabar community living in Purulia district of West Bengal, India. The present cross-sectional study included 334 Sabar males aged between 18 to 60 years. Anthropometric measurements including height, weight, 2 breadths, 2 circumferences and 4 skinfolds were taken following standard protocol. Somatotype was determined following the Heath-Carter method and Body Mass Index (BMI) was used to access the level of nutrition. Descriptive statistics, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Pearson correlation, Spearman correlation and Chi-square test were performed to find out variation, correlation and association of the somatype components with age and nutritional categories. Prior ethical clearance had been obtained. As a result, the trend of undernutrition was gradually increasing with age and found highest among aged people (50–60 years) with an overall prevalence of 49.7%. Eleven different somatotype subgroups were identified. The mean somatotype of the participants was 2.3–3.6-3.9 which indicates mesomorph-ectomorph body type. Kruskal-Wallis H test revealed significant differences among somatotype components in different nutritional categories. Undernutrition was found highest among the mesomorphic ectomorph (62.7%) type. Chi-square test stated significant association between somatotype categories and nutritional statuses (Chi-square = 283.160, p < 0.01). This is the first reporting on the somatotype study among the Sabar community, where the dominant body type was found mesomorph-ectomorph. A highly significant correlation was found between somatotype and BMI. At the same time, this study expressed the need for immediate nutritional intervention.

<p>A survey was conducted to assess the nutritional status of children (0-6 years) among 40 <em>Anganwadis </em>in 4 districts of Kerala State registered under the ICDS scheme. A self- prepared structured interview schedule was used. To get the qualitative information of the study anthropometric measures include height and weight were used for assessing nutritional status of the children. The stepwise analysis of two variables height for age and weight for age was applicable on the basis of Waterlow’s and Gomez’ classification. To examine the relationship between nutritional status of the child and selected variable that affects nutritional status of children, Chi-square test was employed. Based on Gomez’ classification, out of 400 children, only 300 (75.0%) of children received supplementary nutrition through ICDS out of which 250 (62.5%) children were normal while 50 (12.5%) were underweight. Based on Waterlow’s classification out of 400 children, only 290 (72.5%) of children received supplementary nutrition through ICDS out of these children 200 (50 %) were normal while 90 (22.5%) were stunted. It can thus be concluded that majority of children were normal who received supplementary nutrition through ICDS.</p>

Chi Square Test

According to Census Report 2011, nearly 50% of the population of our country are women. They have a great contribution in society. Therefore, we cannot deny the importance of them. In spite of great contribution in society, the women are less empowered in every field of society. The conception of empowerment is based on the notion of power; empowerment by definition means “enabling”, “giving, receiving or obtaining power” or “giving the official or legal authority or the freedom to do something”. In addition, empowerment is defined as the equalization of power and the more efficient use of resources Women’s education leads to empowerment. There are two reasons behind selecting the topic “Role of Education in Empowering Women” for the present study. Firstly, there has been no found any comparative study in the review of literature regarding the measurement of empowerment between educated and uneducated women. Secondly, no literature has been found on education and women empowerment in the study area. The present paper fulfills this research gap. Dinhata block-II of Cooch Behar district, West Bengal has been selected for the purpose of the study. The study is based on both primary and secondary data. Primary data have been collected from a field survey in Dinhata block-II of Cooch Behar district, West Bengal. Secondary data have also been collected from various journals, articles, working papers and education related website. For study purpose it has been selected 200 women from the study area. Among them 100 are educated and the rest 100 women are uneducated. A structured interview schedule was prepared and used for collecting data from the respondents in the study area. To analyse the results a simple statistical technique like percentage has been used. To compare the results, Chi-square test has been used. In the present study, it has been considered nine indicators to measure empowerment between educated and uneducated women. From the results and discussion it has been observed that educated women are more empowered as compare to uneducated one. Chi-square Test shows the significance difference between educated and uneducated women regarding empowerment. Thus, it can be conclude that education is very important factor in empowering women.

The Impact

Objective: Elementary school age children nutrition problems are the impact of an imbalance between food intake and nutrients released by the body. This can be caused by not having breakfast habits. Eating breakfast has the benefit of maintaining endurance and increasing learning concentration. The breakfast habit provides the energy and nutrients needed to carry out various activities throughout the day such as school, study, and play optimally. This study aims to determine the relationship between breakfast habits and nutritional status of elementary school children.Methods: This research was conducted at SD Muhammadiyah Terpadu Ponorogo class 4 and 5 with a sample of 113 students. The measuring instrument used was a questionnaire to explore the variables of breakfast habits, while to determine the nutritional status of students using a weighing scale. Nutritional status was calculated IMT/U. The bivariate analysis test used the Chi Square test of significance level 0.05Results: Chi square test results obtained p-value 0.406 means that there is no relationship between breakfast habits and nutritional status of school age children at SD Muhammadiyah Terpadu Ponorogo. Many factors influence nutritional status. Respondents do not usually eat breakfast, but during recess they eat by buying a canteen and in their daily life they like to eat vegetables and fruit so there is no problem with nutritional intake.Conclusion: Researchers recommend to the next researchers to dig deeper about the composition of the food at the time the respondent had breakfast.

<h4 class="text-primary">Resumen</h4><p style="text-align: justify;">El propósito del estudio fue relacionar la cronología de la erupción dentaria permanente con el estado nutricional. La hipótesis estableció que el estado nutricional si guarda relación con la cronología de la erupción dentaria permanente. Se examinaron 178 escolares (entre varones y mujeres) de 6 a 13 años de la Isla Taquile, en el mes de Octubre del 2013. Se determinó el estado nutricional mediante el índice de masa corporal según su edad, relación talla según edad y clasificación de estadios de Tanner; utilizando como instrumento una ficha de recolección de datos (donde se consignó peso, talla y edad) y una ficha de autopercepción de estadios de Tanner. Se consideró una pieza dentaria presente, cuando la cúspide o borde incisal del diente a observar atravesó la membrana epitelial. Se estableció la relación entre el índice de masa corporal y la cronología de la erupción dentaria permanente; así como para la relación talla/edad. No se encontró relación entre la cronología de la erupción dentaria permanente y el índice de masa corporal utilizando la prueba de Chi cuadrado. Si se hallo relación entre la cronología de la erupción dentaria permanente y la relación talla/edad (los niños con talla muy baja tenían menor cantidad de dientes erupcionados). Los resultados de la prueba Chi cuadrado para esta relación demostraron un grado mínimo, al parecer algún factor estaría actuando sobre esta población para que la relación talla/ edad no ejerza mucha influencia sobre la cronología de la erupción dentaria permanente. Con dichos resultados concluimos que esta población posee caracteres que los distinguen de otras poblaciones.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>PALABRAS CLAVE: </strong>* erupción * dentición * antropometría * estado nutricional *relacion</p><h4 class="text-primary">ABSTRACT</h4><p><strong>CHRONOLOGY OF PERMANENT TOOTH ERUPTION IN CHILDREN 6 TO 13 YEAR OLDS ON THE ISLAND OF TAQUILE – PUNO, PERU; NUTRITIONAL STATUS - 2013.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The purpose of the study was to relate the timetable of permanent tooth eruption with nutritional status. The hypothesis stated that nutritional status relates to the timetable of permanent tooth eruption. 178 mixed gender; 6 to 13 year old school students were examined on Taquile Island in October of 2013. The Body Mass Index (BMI), determined according to age/height and relative size according to the Tanner scale, ascertained nutritional status. Using a data form asan instrument for collecting weight, height and age for classification, we also used a self-rated Tanner staging. A tooth was considered present when the cusp or incisal edge of the tooth was observed to cross the epithelial membrane. The relationship between BMI and the timetable of permanent tooth eruption was established along with height/age relationship. Using the Chi-square test, no relationship was found between the timetable of permanent tooth eruption and BMI. The results of the Chi square test showed a minimal degree of relationship between the process of permanent tooth eruption and height/age (children with very short stature had fewer erupted teeth); Apparently some factor would be acting on this population so that the size / age relationship does not exert much influence on the timetable of permanent tooth eruption. With these results we conclude that this population has characteristics that distinguish them from other populations.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>KEY WORDS: </strong>* eruption * teeth * anthropometry * nutritional status/relationship</p>
