Menarche is an important milestone in the development of female adolescents. The study assessed the age at menarche using recall, its seasonality, and association with marital and nutritional status (using mid-upper arm circumference [MUAC]) among 3,923 female adolescents aged 12-19 years in a rural area of Bangladesh. At the time of assessment, most (88%) adolescents had attained menarche at t...
Measurements of mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) of 8,881 children were considered cross-sectionally to determine the effects of diarrhoea, breast-feeding, and birth-spacing on the nutritional status of children in rural Matlab, Bangladesh. It was observed that age was one of the most significant determinants of child nutrition. The younger children (<2 years) had significantly higher levels ...
BACKGROUND Antibiotic use on animals demonstrates improved growth regardless of whether or not there is clinical evidence of infectious disease. Antibiotics used for trachoma control may play an unintended benefit of improving child growth. METHODOLOGY In this sub-study of a larger randomized controlled trial, we assess anthropometry of pre-school children in a community-randomized trial of m...
In an Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) block, Alipur, in Delhi, India, interviews were conducted with 100 anganwadi workers (one of whose major functions is growth monitoring) to determine their knowledge on growth monitoring and to identify gaps in that knowledge. Each anganwadi worker serves a population of 1000. 99% had adequate knowledge about the significance of the lines on ...
This analysis was conducted to explore the association between 5 birth size measurements (weight, length and head, chest and mid-upper arm [MUAC] circumferences) as dependent variables and 10 maternal factors as independent variables using canonical correlation analysis (CCA). CCA considers simultaneously sets of dependent and independent variables and, thus, generates a substantially reduced t...
Background: Acute malnutrition (severe and moderate) is a major public health problem in India especially Rajasthan. National family surveys now provide prevalence of SAM children till district level but there’s an undenying need for data at even more granular, like block level, to assess the field reality depth. The present study tries demystify same by studying collected from community-based ...
BACKGROUND Few studies have investigated objective markers of lipodystrophy in African children. We compared body circumferences, skin-fold thickness (SFT) and lipids in antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naive and stavudine (d4T)-exposed children with HIV-uninfected controls. METHODS In the CHAPAS-3 trial, HIV-infected children (ART-naive or on d4T for ≥2 years without clinical lipodystrophy) were...
Background: Intestinal damage and malabsorption caused by chronic environmental enteropathy are associated with growth faltering seen in infants in less-developed countries. Evidence has suggested that supplementary omega-3 (n23) long-chain PUFAs (LC-PUFAs) might ameliorate this damage by reducing gastrointestinal inflammation. LC-PUFA supplementation may also benefit cognitive development. Obj...
Malnutrition is a problem at varying proportions in developing countries, and anthropometry is a simple tool to assess its magnitude in children. This study was aimed at identifying the prevalence of malnutrition among 256 children of rural areas of Karnataka in South India, who attended the aanganwadis. The value of using various field-based formulae and of various anthropometric indicators us...
OBJECTIVE In order to determine the relationship between some maternal anthropometric indicators and birth weight, crown-heel length and newborn's head circumference, 92 pregnant women were followed through at the prenatal service of hospital in S. Paulo, Brazil. MATERIAL AND METHOD The following variables were established for the mother: weight, height, mid-upper arm circumference, pre-pregn...
