Background: Nutritional status is the best indicator of the child health. Malnutrition has both short and long term adverse ramifications. As per NFHS III 47% children are stunted in the state of Chhattisgarh. However still many communities in the tribal dominated and naxal affected state may remain affected, hence the study was planned to identify the nutritional status of children and find out its determinant.Methods: Present cross-sectional study was conducted among 12-59 months children in the urban slum of Jagdalpur city, Bastar region of Chhattisgarh. Predesigned and pretested questionnaire was administered to the caregiver of the child, information on socio-demographic characteristics was obtained and anthropometric measurements were taken. Statistical Analysis: all frequencies were derived for completeness of data. WHO Anthro Software version 3.1.0 was used to classify the malnutrition status. Chi-square test was applied to find association between dependent variables.Results: Out of 225 children 53.3% were boys and 46.7% were girls. The overall prevalence of underweight stunting and wasting was 28.4%, 41.3%, and 19.1% respectively.Conclusions: Prevalence of underweight has reduced in the district over a period of years. However high level of stunting, a sign of chronic hunger points towards the pivotal role of socio-demographic and behavioral practices prevalent in the district. Interaction with health system in the form of ANC, institutional delivery and safeguarding effective 100% immunization coverage has shown preventive effect.

Background: The direct causes of nutritional status problems are infectious diseases and inadequate intake. The prevalence of infectious diseases can be caused by children not getting complete basic immunization and not getting exclusive breastfeeding. Objective: The study aims to determine the relationship between complete basic immunization and exclusive breastfeeding with the nutritional status of underfive children in Indonesia. Methods: This study uses secondary data from Primary health research of Indonesia (Riskesdas 2018). It is an analytical study using a cross sectional study design. The sample in this study is toddlers spread across 34 provinces of Indonesia. The sampling technique in this study is the total population. The independent variables were complete basic immunization coverage and exclusive breastfeeding coverage. The dependent variable is the prevalence of nutritional status based on the index of Weight by age, body length according to age and body weight by length.Results: The results of the analysis found that the complete basic immunization coverage for underfive children in Indonesia was 56.18%, exclusive breastfeeding coverage was 39.59%, and the prevalence of underweight and severely underweight children under five (WHZ) was 16.67%, the prevalence of short and very short toddlers short (WHZ 29.68% and the prevalence of malnutrition and very poor (HAZ)  12.44%. using correlation test and linear regression with a significance degree of p≤0.05. Complete basic immunization coverage was associated with the prevalence of very underweight and underweight (p=0.005), short and very short (p=0.043), very undernourished and undernourished (p=0.000). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between complete basic immunization and the nutritional status of children under five in Indonesia. There is no significant relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the nutritional status of children under five in Indonesia.Key words: Complete basic Immunization; Exclusive breastfeeding;  Nutritional status; Underfive years old

Background: Malnutrition is one of the major public health concerns in developing countries. In Pakistan more than 38% of the children are under weight and stunted. Malnutrition in children has been found associated with nutritional knowledge of mothers. The current study has been conducted to assess the nutrition status of children from 6 months to 5 years of age. Objectives: To determine the association of child’s nutritional status to immunization and maternal nutritional knowledge. Study Design: Cross sectional descriptive study design was used. Setting: Mustafa Abad, District Kasur, Pakistan. Period: April to June 2018. Methods: Convenient sampling technique was used. For data collection a self-structured questionnaire was used. Nutritional status of children was measured in term of stunting, wasting and under-weight, according to the WHO’s criteria of malnutrition. Data were entered in SPSS version-20 and analyzed. Results: There was significant association (p-value <0.05) between child’s nutrition status with mothers’ nutritional knowledge. The majority of the mothers with adequate knowledge had children with normal nutrition status whereas the children whose mothers had poor nutritional knowledge were presented with stunting. The immunization coverage of this area was good as it was 99%. Conclusion: Malnutrition is prevalent in our children at alarming level. There is a need to improve the nutritional knowledge of mothers because it has a definite association with nutritional status of children under the age of five years.

Spatial analysis of measles risk areas in Bantul District of Yogyakarta Province in 2014 PurposeThe purpose of this study was to determine the area of measles risk.MethodsThis research used a cross-sectional design and was performed from June to August 2015. The data on measles patients were obtained from Case-Based Measles Surveillance (CBMS) activities in Health Office of Bantul District. The coordinate locations of patients’ homes were obtained by direct visits. Meanwhile, the information regarding village/ward areas was derived from all village/ ward offices and Public Health Centers in Bantul Districts. The data were analyzed by spatially weighted regression tests.ResultsThere were 185 measles cases and 6 outbreaks spread-out in 50 (67%) villages/wards. The entire villages/wards have achieved immunization coverage of >90%, 66% with good nutritional status, 51% with high education status, 37% with high population density, and 24% with low economic status. The variable of population density was spatially associated with measles incidents while immunization coverage, nutritional status, education level, and economic status were not spatially associated with measles incidents. Measles case clustering was found in the areas of Banguntapan Sub-district.ConclusionThe immunization program in Bantul District should be evaluated in the light that the villages/wards have achieved immunization coverage of 90% but 185 measles cases and 6 outbreaks were still found in 2014. In addition, the improvement of the immunization recording system needs be conducted for CBMS activities.

Prevailing prevention measures against morbidity, such as vaccination and safe hygiene practices, vary among local cultural contexts, and little is known about the extent to which these behaviors mitigate poor nutritional status in young children in Southeast Asia. We examined the associations between nutrition status with full immunization coverage, and water, sanitation and hygiene status among children aged 12–59 months in the 2015–2016 Thailand Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (n = 9060). When adjusted for confounding factors, children with incomplete immunization status were more likely to be stunted (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.47; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.24–1.75, p < 0.001), wasted (aOR 1.67, 95% CI: 1.31–2.12, p < 0.001), and overweight (aOR 1.24, 95% CI: 1.01–1.51, p < 0.05), whereas children who used unimproved water sources were more likely to be overweight (aOR 2.43, 95% CI: 1.27–4.64, p < 0.01). The further implementation of simple and cost-effective health promotion activities and practices at the household level may be important interventions for healthy child growth and development, particularly under restricted living conditions due to COVID-19.

SummaryThis paper examines the association between family structure and child health in India using the third round of the National Family Health Survey, conducted during 2005–06. Two important child health indicators – underweight and full immunization – are used as dependent variables. Descriptive and multivariate statistics are deployed to establish the relationship between family structure and child health. The results of the descriptive statistics show that children who belong to a non-nuclear family have better nutritional status and higher immunization coverage than those in nuclear families. Children living with siblings have worse health status than those living without siblings for both the outcomes. Multivariate analysis shows that family structure has a small effect on the two child health outcomes, which is no longer significant after adjusting for socioeconomic measures and region. However, number of siblings is significantly and negatively associated with the nutritional status of children and full immunization coverage, even after other socio-demographic and geographic factors are controlled for. Along with family structure, parent's educational attainment, age of the mother and household economic status are significant determinants of underweight and full immunization.
