Protein Energy Malnutrition in preschool tribe’s children of Chhattisgarh
Objective: The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of protein energy malnutrition(PEM) by anthropometric measurements in preschool children of tribal community of Chhattisgarh. Material and Methods: A total of 449 children [237 boys and 212 girls] from 286 families were selected randomly. Anthropometric measurements were done as per standard protocol. The level of underweight, stun...
متن کاملHypomagnesaemia As a Mortality Risk Factor in Protein-energy Malnutrition
Magnesium (Mg) modulates vasomotor tone, blood pressure, and peripheral blood flow. Mg deficiency was shown to trigger vasoconstriction and enhance vascular endothelial injury (2). On the other hand, endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a potent vasoconstrictor peptide, produced by vascular endothelial cells (3). We investigated the effects of hypomagnesaemia on mortality and other mortality risk factors in ...
متن کاملHigh energy feeding in protein-energy malnutrition.
The use of a high-fat diet in malnourished children produced accelerated growth of lean tissues as well as adipose tissue, and resulted in rapid nutirtional rehabilitation in 25 seriously malnourished babies. Such diets are easy to prepare and relatively cheap, and they offer important advantages over conventional feeding in the hospital treatment of malnourished children.
متن کاملFunctional anemia of complicated protein-energy malnutrition at high altitude.
The effect of severe protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) on erythropoiesis in children living in the highlands of Bolivia, altitude 3700 m, was studied. Forty percent reduced hemoglobin concentrations, significantly lower arterial oxygen tensions, and a right-shifted, oxygen-dissociation curve were observed compared to high-altitude controls. Serum and erythrocyte folate concentrations were 44% a...
