Filter by:A prospective, longitudinal, 28-day intervention study evaluating the tolerance, compliance, acceptability and safety to two new enteral tube feed and one new oral nutritional supplement based on real food ingredients (1kcal/ml and 1.5kcal/ml enteral tube feeds and a 1.5kcal/ml oral nutritional supplement).
The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of a bundled intervention to address malnutrition and its intersections with nutrition security and fisheries sustainability in Kilifi, Kenya.
Last Mile Health (LMH) has partnered with the Liberian Ministry of Health (MOH) to support the design and implementation of the National Community Health Assistant Program (NCHAP). In collaboration with MOH, LMH is planning to conduct an impact evaluation in Grand Bassa to assess the effect of the National Community Health Assistant Program (NCHAP) on health outcomes, as well as to learn lessons around program operations and implementation. Our central hypothesis is that Community Health Assistants (CHAs) within the NCHAP will reduce under 5 mortality, as a result of expanding access to and uptake of health care utilization in remote communities. We will use a mixed effects discrete survival model, taking advantage of the staggered program implementation in Grand Bassa districts over a period of 4 years to compare the incidence of under-5 child mortality between the pre- and post-CHW program implementation periods.
This study to investigate whether empiric use of an antibiotic with greater antimicrobial sensitivity (ceftriaxone) than standard-of-care (ampicillin plus gentamicin) will reduce mortality among HIV-infected/HEU children admitted to Mwanamugimu Nutrition Unit, Mulago Hospital, Kampala, Uganda.
The aim of this study is to assess immune responses to Mtb in children with MAM compared to well-nourished children and to evaluate the impact of a nutrition intervention on these immune responses.
Title: Reducing malnutrition and helminthic infectious disease among primary school children by the school nurses: School-based non-randomized study in a developing country Introduction: Globally, malnutrition alone with the infectious disease a widespread problem among primary school (5 to 12 years) children. Infectious diseases such as worm infestations are aggravated with nutritional disorders which most often lead to anemia and several complications. The prevalence of malnutrition and intestinal worm infestation/ helminthic infection is still high and the awareness level of those issues is immensely poor. However, there are limited studies that evaluated the impact of increasing health awareness by the development of the Health Awareness Program for Primary School Children (HAPSC) which is conducted by the experimentally placed school nurse in Bangladesh. Objective: To increase health awareness and knowledge towards reducing malnutrition and intestinal worm infestation by implement and evaluate the impact of the Health Awareness Program for Primary School children (HAPSC) in Bangladesh. Methods: Design: A prospective, open-label, parallel-group (1:1), cluster non-randomization controlled trial (NRCT) Site and sample: School children from four primary schools in the rural areas of North Matlab at Chandpur district at Chittagong division in Bangladesh. Duration: The duration of this study is from August 2021 to March 2024 (32nd months). Outcome variables: Primary: changes in malnutrition among primary school children. Secondary: Evaluate and reduce the prevalence of intestinal worm infestation, increase awareness and knowledge regarding malnutritional and intestinal worm infestation, improvement of health behavior (eating and hygiene), frequency of school absent days, and health-related quality of life. Conclusion: Health education by the health professional in the school setting may be an effective method for improving health behavior, and increasing awareness and knowledge levels about malnutrition and intestinal worm infestation from early childhood.
Malnutrition is an epidemiologic problem with high prevalence in Mexico. Mexican children present a double burden of malnutrition characterized by the coexistence of undernutrition and micronutrient deficiency alongside excess body weight. Malnutrition is caused by inadequate nutrition, including micronutrients deficiencies, in which children living in rural areas and indigenous populations are disproportionately affected. Malnutrition has been associated with an increased risk of metabolic abnormalities like metabolic syndrome (MS), diabetes, and cardiovascular disease in adulthood. Nutrition-specific interventions are strategies that may reduce or avert malnutrition in children. However, limited intervention studies have been implemented in low-income populations, particularly in rural areas. Therefore, studies that include nutrition-specific intervention with enriched foods aimed at reducing micronutrients deficiencies and that can help in prevention or treatment of metabolic conditions in these populations are still needed. Based on the nutritional characterization carried out in school children in Chimalhuacán, Mexico State, a formula in a powder form was designed for children containing vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids that can be used to enrich foods. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of a 4-week intervention with cookies enriched with a micronutrient formula on the nutritional status in Maya schoolchildren aged 8-10 years. Participants (n=84) were their own control, and the investigators measured, at pre- and post-intervention, anthropometric, clinical, biochemical, and cognitive parameters; diet and molecular parameters were assessed only at pre-intervention. Chi-square test, t-Student paired or Wilcoxon, ANCOVA, and logistic regression were performed to analyze the data.
This research compares the effects of one-year continuous whole egg supplement vs. egg yolk substitutes and control on anthropometry, biochemical blood parameters, metabolic enzymes and microbiome data in primary school children.
Study of malnutrition in primary school age children aim to asses the prevelance of malnutrition amoung the children in this age group and also ldintified the factors that affect in malnutrition between the children and the study will done in two primary school one present in rural area and another in urban area to compare the factor and the result that affect in both two different area
The premise of this trial is that a combined nutrition (eggs) and parenting behavior intervention (responsive parenting combined with the reinforcement of animal source foods and improved WASH) will synergistically result in improved child growth, development, and reduced enteric disease outcomes over and above a nutrition only intervention and standard well baby care. This study is a 3-arm longitudinal randomized controlled trial (RCT) to compare the following groups for effectiveness in reducing young child stunted growth and enhancing overall development:1) standard well-baby care, (n=200); 2) nutrition intervention (one egg per day for 6 months), (n=200); and 3) multicomponent Grandi Byen intervention (responsive parenting, nutrition, hygiene + one egg per day for 6 months), (n=200). Infants will be enrolled between 6-8 months of age and followed longitudinally for one year.
