Abstract

Objective(s): The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 250 million children under the age of five suffer from VITAMIN A deficiency and 2.8 to 3 million children under the age of 5 suffer from clinical symptoms of VITAMIN A deficiency. Since the malnutrition of children is related to their diet, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the status of VITAMIN A in children aged 1-6 years in Darab city and its relationship with some socioeconomic factors and anthropometric indices using a specific VITAMIN A questionnaire.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, which was part of a project to determine the prevalence of malnutrition in children under 6 years old in Fars province Fars province, 510 one to six years old children were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling in Darab. Demographic and socio-economic characteristics were evaluated through questionnaires and interviews. Children height and weight were calculated based on Z score. To evaluate the status of receiving VITAMIN A, the Helen Clare International Center for Dietary Frequency Questionnaire was used. Chi-square test and logistic regression were adjusted for age and sex were used.Results: father's occupation [OR=1.1; CI %95 [0.980-1.46], P=0.05] differed significantly in two groups [no efficient or efficient VITAMIN A].Contact between Property and income with VITAMIN A deficiency means no statistic different. [p>0.05]. Mild degrees of malnutrition in children is more common and there is significant difference between under weighting and STUNTING and wasting parameters with VITAMIN A deficiency in animal source [p<0.05]. According to HKI QUESTIONNAIRE, this society has no lack of exposure.Conclusion: VITAMIN A deficiency is not a matter of health issue in Darab. It rather correlates with deficiency in animal VITAMIN A intake that might be proxy of poor socioeconomic status.
