Pages

  2501-2510

Abstract

 Background: Malnutrition in CHILDREN is a major public health problem in developing countries and is one of the common causes of mortality and morbidity in CHILDREN. We aimed to determine the NUTRITIONAL STATUS of CHILDREN aged 2-12 years of age using World Health Organisation (WHO) Z score for Weight for age (WFA) /Body Mass Index (BMI) for age (for CHILDREN above 108 months), and to evaluate association between UNDERWEIGHT and various socio-demographic factors.Materials and Methods: A total of 444 CHILDREN aged 2-12 years (24-144 months) were enrolled in the study. The CHILDREN’s anthropometric measurements were taken using the standard operating procedures; the socio-demographic particulars were obtained using a pretested validated questionnaire, after obtaining written consent from their parents. The anthropometric data was analyzed using WHO Anthro and Anthro plus Softwares. UNDERWEIGHT and severe UNDERWEIGHT was diagnosed if WFA Z score<=-2 standard deviation [SD] and<-3 SD (for CHILDREN from 108 months to 144 months, thinness and severe thinness if BMI for age Z score<=-2 SD and<-3 SD).Results: Overall prevalence of under nutrition among the CHILDREN 24-144 months of age was 30.8%. Among CHILDREN in the age groups of 24-59 months, 60-119 months and 120-144 months, the prevalence of UNDERWEIGHT/thinness was 27.9%, 31.3% and 26.4%, respectively. Severe UNDERWEIGHT/thinness in the same age groups was 7.1%, 10.7%, and 11.3%, respectively. The socio- demographic factors significantly associated with UNDERWEIGHT were education status of mother, occupation of father, number of siblings, type of family and religion (p<0.05).Conclusion: Mild to moderate under nutrition was common among the CHILDREN of the island and affects boys slightly more than girls, however, severe UNDERWEIGHT is more prevalent in girls.
