There are 3 kinds of malnutrition in the community: underweight, stunting and wasting malnutrition. There were many diseases related with malnutrition such as diarrhea, pneumonia, and growth retardation of physical and psychological aspects. The children with ages of from 4 months to 2 year olds had a high risk of malnutrition. The malnutrition control involved the breast feeding, complementary diet, use of Vitamin A, rational nutrition during and after disease free, iron/folic supplement for pregnant women and iodine containing salt using

An investigation of malnutrition among children less than 5 years in 1999 has shown that the current rate of malnutrition was reduced significantly comparing with this in the past years. However, this rate was mainly higher than this in the region and in the world

Introduction: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of malnutrition and factors influencing malnutrition among children aged five years and below in Serian District of Sarawak, a district where the majority of people are indigenous. Methods: Using a cross-sectional method, a total of 177 children were randomly selected and assessed, and their mothers or caregivers were interviewed. Data were collected using a pretested questionnaire; anthropometric measurements were also taken. Data were analysed using SPSS version 17.0. Results: The prevalence of underweight, stunting and wasting in children aged five years and below was 20.9%, 11.9% and 10.2% respectively. The results suggest that the significant factors contributing to underweight are birth weight, frequency of child visit to the clinic, and individual insecurity. Only age, when complementary diet was introduced, was found to be significantly associated with stunting. For wasting, individual insecurity, duration of family planning and met recommended protein intake per day were found to be significant factors. Conclusion: The prevalence of malnutrition in children 5 years and below in Serian District of Sarawak is high compared to state figures. The major contributing factors were found to be manifested at the individual and family level. There is a need for appropriate public health promotion and socioeconomic improvement interventions towards improving the nutritional status and health of children in Serian District.

A longitudinal study on the actual and seasonal changes of household food and nutrition security during 1997-1999 was carried out in Bai Say commune, Hung Yen province. The results shown that CED of women is much higher (47.5) in the poor households comparing to that in the middle and rich ones (34.8%), in both groups it was found that women are the higher-risk group to CED than men (41.2 vs. 21.5%). Child malnutrition is still very highly prevalence: under weight was 45-49%, wasting 18-23%, much higher than those of national data in 1999 (P<0.05), while stunting is approximately to that of national one 38-39%. Child wasting has been found to be seasonally changed (p<0.05), while there was no clearly change of the other forms (p>0.05). Child malnutrition occurs very early, around 6 months after birth, rapidly and cumulatively increases from 12 to 24 and 25 to 36 months, stands at rather high prevalence subsequently

A descriptive study was carried out on children less than five years who were born during January 1st, 1996 - December 31st, 2000 in Dong Son and Nga Son district, Thanh Hoa province. Results has shown that the malnutrition rate in children in Nga Son was higher than this in Dong Son, especially malnutrition grade II and III according to the body weight. In contrary, the malnutrition rate in Dong Son was higher than this in Nga Son according to the high

We selected 93 primary school children aged 7-8 years old living in a rural commune in which 46 children were classified as stunting and 47 children were not stunting during their period of under 5 years old. The anthropometric data and other socio-economic data of children and their family in two groups were collected. The results show that there is a catch-up growth in group of children with early stunting. However, their mean height was shorter than group without early stunting. HAZbefore is determinant factor for HAZ present. We found also that the birth weight is a positive factor that influences on both HAZ in two points of observation (in period of under 5 and in present time of study). We concluded that early stunting has the negative impact on physical growth in later age. Prevention of early stunting is very important action toward long-term nutritional benefits of children.

Maternal and child health is an important issue throughout the world. Given their impact on maternal and child health, nutritional issues need to be carefully addressed. Accordingly, the effect of maternal, child, and nutritional disorders on disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) should be calculated. The present study used DALYs to estimate the burden of disease of maternal, neonatal, and nutritional disorders in the Korean population in 2012. For this purpose, we used claim data of the Korean National Health Insurance Service, DisMod II, and death data of the Statistics Korea and adhered to incidence-based DALY estimation methodology. The total DALYs per 100,000 population were 376 in maternal disorders, 64 in neonatal disorders, and 58 in nutritional deficiencies. The leading causes of DALYs were abortion in maternal disorders, preterm birth complications in neonatal disorders, and iron-deficiency anemia in nutritional deficiencies. Our findings shed light on the considerable burden of maternal, neonatal, and nutritional conditions, emphasizing the need for health care policies that can reduce morbidity and mortality.
