Abstract:

Literature shows that nutritional deficiency and feeding behaviors in neurodevelopmentally disabled children is secondary to an underdeveloped gastrointestinal tract. Fifty (50) parents with children with autism responded to a Nutritional Perception Assessment that they believe their children are at adequate nutritional status. They reported confidence in their nutritional knowledge, yet admitted to concern about the nutritional status of their children. The survey revealed that parents are not seeing a registered dietitian for their nutritional advice, leading to the question of soundness in

Abstract:

The worsening humanitarian situation in Angola and the great lakes due to protracted wars, led to an influx of refugees in Namibia since 1992. The peak of the influx was between 1999-2002 when the camp population reached 25,000 people. Among the many challenges faced by these refugees was their health and nutrition. Malnutrition accounted for high levels of morbidity and mortality among the refugees. This study covered a review of health and nutritional situation of children less than five years of age in Osire refugee camp. It proposed that prevalence of malnutrition among this age group is a

Abstract:

This study examines how income, household division of power and maternal decision-making ability influence dietary intake and child morbidity. A sample of 154 households with children between one and three years was drawn from six villages in Busia District, western Kenya. Information on household and maternal characteristics, morbidity, dietary intake and anthropometry was gathered between July and November 1988. Household headship was found to have no significant or direct influence on children's nutritional status. Total income was higher in female-headed households. While women in male-hea

Abstract:

Malnutrition affects millions of children worldwide. With its different faces – undernutrition and overnutrition – it is the result of several determinants, such as the lack/surplus of adequate food, life-style, mother’s low education, socio-economic situation. For this reason, any research on this issue should be tackled with a wide approach. The primary goal of this thesis was to monitor the nutritional status of Ugandan and Tanzanian children attending some primary schools and analyze related factors.

Majority of local communities are subsistence farmers who derive their needs such as bush meat from the park. The purpose of the study was to test if bush meat utilization contributes to nutritional improvement of local communities around Serengeti National Park. Three villages were selected at ran

Previous studies failed to report benefits of prolonged breast feeding on nutritional status.

Analyses of interaction showed prolonged breast feeding to be advantageous among children of working mothers, and children from households using an unimproved water supply. For example, children 35 months of age, breast fed for 24 ver

Background: Children in South Africa are still affected by micronutrient deficiencies and children living in farm communities are especially vulnerable. African Leafy Vegetables (ALVs) are well endowed with micronutrients such as iron, zinc and vitamin A and might contribute to the nutritional status of children. However, these vegetables have been perceived as “poor people’s food” and over the years knowledge of and use of ALVs has decreased. Aim: This study assessed the potential contribution of ALVs to the nutritional status of children in a semi-rural farm community. Method: In this cros

Abstract:

This thesis explores the pathways through which individual and household factors are associated with temporal changes in child nutritional status. In this study the concept of nutrition deprivation is used in two ways: firstly as indicated by the child's anthropometric measures, and secondly in terms of food consumption. The thesis also explores how nutritional deprivation is linked with economic deprivation. The main objectives of the study are: to examine the physical growth trajectories of children, to investigate the household's economic and nutritional (food) deprivations, to explore the

Accordingly, an appropriate monitoring of nutritional status and metabolic response, along with the correct assessment of energy requirements and energy balance, is gaining growing clinical relevance as a fundamental prognostic factor and should be considered a specific target in the management of critica

Abstract:

Subclinical vitamin A deficiency was assessed in 65 Hispanic children attending four migrant Head Start programs in Utah. Subjects aged 2 to 6 years (median 3 years 10 months) were examined for evidence of vitamin A deficiency by conjunctival impression cytology. Biochemical indices for serum vitamin A, retinol-binding protein, zinc, and iron were performed. Of eight children (12.5%) with subclinical vitamin A deficiency, one child had a marginal serum vitamin A of 11 μg/dl. Retinol-binding protein concentrations were significantly lower in two subjects with abnormal conjunctival impression cy

Abstract:

In developing countries, the coexistence of malnutrition and intestinal parasitism contributes to growth faltering. Interrelationships among malnutrition, infection, and growth were explored in 328 indigenous Panamanian preschool children. Dietary and infection predictors of height-for-age z-score (HAZ) were identified in the dry and rainy seasons, the impact of stunting and vitamin A deficiency (VAD, serum retinol ≤0.70umol/L) on Ascaris reinfection was assessed, and associations between growth, infection, serum vitamin D and cytokines were explored. Ascaris infection intensity did not predic
