Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effect of potato almond orange cookie supplementation on the nutritional status of stunted under-five children. The main questions aimed to answer are: - Can cookie supplementation improve the weight of stunted under-five children? - Can cookie supplementation improve the weight for age z score of stunted under-five children? Participants divided in the two groups i.e.: - Treatment group received 50 g potato almond orange cookie each day during 4 weeks. - Control group received 50 g potato orange cookie each day during 4 weeks. - Mothers of both groups given balanced nutrition education for stunted under-five children twice at the second and third week of study.
The COVID-19 pandemic affects all activities, including stunting prevention. Almost all cities implement Internet-based learning can be used as an alternative to providing education and allows to exchange personal experiences and also establish interpersonal relationships. Education is one of the intervention efforts that aims to foster and improve the health status of the community, while counselling is a technical part of the educational process itself. blended counselling is the integration of online and offline counselling. Blended counselling is a strategy in the covid-19 pandemic condition and after pandemic. the virtual Education method has also been widely used around the world. The WhatsApp application ranks 2 among the most popular social media in Indonesia. Blended education innovations are offered online in the form of digital booklets, videos, online discussions, and online consultations carried out via WhatsApp and offline visits according to health protocols. This blended education is expected to facilitate the work of cadres in providing Infant and young child feeding (IYCF) education, to improve IYCF practices for infant nutritional status.
Suaahara's primary aim is to reduce the prevalence of stunting, wasting, and underweight among children under 5 years of age and to reduce the prevalence of anemia among women of reproductive age and children 6-59 months of age. For this, the program uses a multi-sectoral approach to achieve four key intermediate results: 1) improved household nutrition, sanitation, and health behaviors; 2) increased use of quality nutrition and health services by women and children; 3) improved access to diverse and nutrient-rich foods by women and children; and 4) accelerated roll-out of the Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Plan (MSNP) through strengthened local governance
1. Master and analyze the nutritional health, growth and development status of primary and secondary school students in Shenzhen, and discover the main nutritional health, growth and development problems and influencing factors. 2. Provide basic data and evidence-based basis for the municipal government and related departments to formulate child health policies and measures.
Proteins play an important role as structural and functional components for the human body and prevent stunting. Protein quality has a great importance in meeting the nutritional needs of populations across the world throughout the life course, particularly during pregnancy and early childhood. Dietary protein deficiency is mainly due to protein indigestibility limiting indispensable amino acids (IAAs) bioavailability. In Morocco, as it's the case in many developing countries, diet is mainly based on a large consumption of cereals, fruits, vegetables and pulses, and is generally low in meat, which is the main source of protein and IAA. The general objective of this study is to evaluate the digestibility of Fava bean proteins and bioavailability of IAA using a dual-tracer method with stable isotopes.
About 1600 children 6 to 24 months old will be enrolled from 8 egg hubs. 4 hubs will be receive social marketing campaign to raise awareness about the benefits of eggs while the other 4 will not receive social marketing campaign. Children will provide a urine sample for analysis of metabolites to correlate with egg consumption.
Protein is one type of nutrients known as the cause of stunting in developing countries since the mid-1970s (1) but then less attention on protein intake with the assumption that protein intake is sufficient. Compilation of published and non-published dietary intake research among Indonesian children aged 3-12 years (2), 0-18 years old (3) and 1-3 years old (3) found that protein intake among Indonesian children was sufficient (4). This finding is also confirmed by some other studies in 6 low-income countries and lead to the conclusion that growth restriction is not due to protein deficiency (5). Since then, micronutrient received main attention for the past 4 decades (1) to improve the health and survival of young children in developing countries. Issues on the need to re-examined protein recently emerge after the paper of Semba (1,6) regarding the low circulating amino acid among stunted children. It was hypothesized that the correlation between the low level of circulating amino acid with linear growth was through the mechanism of rapamycin complex C1 (mTORC1) and general control nonderepressible 2 (GCN2) pathway that contributes in the synthesis of sphingolipids and glycerophospholipids (6). However, the mechanism on how amino acid link to linear growth remains unclear. Fortification among Asian children revealed that only milk as food vehicles reported a significant effect on linear growth (2). It is likely that the effect on linear growth is influenced not only on micronutrient content of the fortified foods but also on protein and amino acid profiles of milk as the food vehicle.
This study will provide a tool for researchers to measure important outcomes in relation to trial of intervention to reduce or prevent stunting. Hypothesis: We assume that appetite score will be associated with improvement in growth and development parameters of children given the nutrition and psychosocial stimulation intervention Objectives: To explore maternal perception regarding childhood stunting To develop and validate an appetite measuring tool To assess the appetite status of young children To examine the relationship between appetite score, growth and development, potential biomarkers of appetite, child food intake and intestinal inflammation of the children. Methods: In the first phase, a qualitative study will be conducted to explore maternal perception regarding childhood stunting and to develop a tool- the "Early Childhood Appetite and Satiety Tool"(ECAST) using mixed method approach (qualitative and quantitative). In the second phase, a community-based trial will be conducted with 50 stunted children of aged 12-18 months, living in urban slums of Dhaka, and 50 age-sex matched control children (non-stunted).
