Abstract

The malnutrition -diarrhea syndrome has affected millions of young CHILDREN all over the world. The frequency, duration and severity of diarrhea is greater in CHILDREN who suffering from ZINC deficiency than those with good ZINC nutrition. Aim of this CASE-CONTROL STUDY is to determine the relationship between SERUM ZINC level and ACUTE DIARRHEA in young CHILDREN. Concentration of SERUM ZINC in 204 one to five years old CHILDREN were measured. The results of a pilot study on 20 cases were used to estimate the sample size. The case group consisted of 102 CHILDREN.-with diarrhea for not more than 24- hour and less than 4 diarrhea excretion.102 healthy CHILDREN selected from five Health Care Centers in five different regions of Ahvaz made the control group. CHILDREN SERUM ZINC level was measured by atomic absorption. The SERUM ZINC mean on the basis of sex age, infants kind of feeding, education level of mother and household income were analyzed via chi- square, T- student, ANOVA and correlation tests using SPSS software. The SERUM ZINC mean was different between groups (p=0.0001).There was no relation between sex and SERUM ZINC level. The mean of SERUM ZINC in 1.5 to 3.5 years old CHILDREN was statistically different between case and control groups. The CHILDREN who fed breast milk had higher SERUM ZINC level than those fed formula (p=0.02 in diarrhea group and p=0.0001 in control group). The lowest and the highest mean of SERUM ZINC were found in CHILDREN with illiterated mother and higher educated mother, respectively. Generally, 31.86% of CHILDREN suffered from ZINC deficiency and girls were more affected than boys. It is concluded that there is a relationship between level of SERUM ZINC and ACUTE DIARRHEA and ZINC deficiency is a major nutritional problem in young CHILDREN.
