Objectives To construct growth curves for mid-upper-arm circumference (MUAC)-for-age z score for 5-19 year olds that accord with the World Health Organization growth standards, and to evaluate their discriminatory performance for subsequent mortality.Design Growth curve construction and longitudinal cohort study.Setting United States and international growth data, and cohorts in Kenya, Uganda, ...
BACKGROUND Four studies previously indicated that the effect of malaria infection during pregnancy on the risk of low birthweight (LBW; <2,500 g) may depend upon maternal nutritional status. We investigated this dependence further using a large, diverse study population. METHODS AND FINDINGS We evaluated the interaction between maternal malaria infection and maternal anthropometric status on ...
SECULAR TRENDS IN GROWTH AMONG SCHOOL CHILDREN OF SHIRAZ (SOUTHERN IRAN) BORN IN THE POST-WAR PERIOD
ABSTRACT Background: Secular trends in stature, weight and mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) of 2397 school children (1268 boys and 1129 girls) of the same age (6.5-11.5 years) and sex in representative samples from primary schools of Shiraz (southern Iran) at an interval of 15 years (1988 vs 2003) are reported. Methods: Cross-sectional weight, height and mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) cu...
Background: The nutrition of under five children reflects a country’s health status. We aimed to assess the nutritional status year selected wards Barahachhetra municipality, Sunsari. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we enrolled 167 in ward no. 4 and 5 municipality. Height/ length, mid- upper arm circumference (MUAC), weight clinical signs malnutrition were noted. relevant information re...
Materials and Methods: The cross-sectional study was carried out in the villages of Melghat block of Amravati district, Maharashtra, India. A total of 446 children in the age group 6–60 months from the study area were assessed by anthropometric measurements using newly developed WHO growth standard. Data were analyzed by using ANTHRO, EPI_INFO 2007, and R software. Sensitivity and specificity o...
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE Malnutrition in cancer patients has many causes. Nutritional status is usually assessed from weight/height indices. These present limitations for the nutritional assessment of cancer patients: their weights include tumor mass, and lean mass changes are not reflected in weight/height indices. The objective was to evaluate differences between two anthropometric methods and c...
BACKGROUND Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) has been associated with low polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) status. However, investigations regarding PUFA status and correlates in children with moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) from low-income countries are scarce. The aim of this study was to describe whole-blood PUFA levels in children with moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) and to identify corr...
Food-insecurity and poor-quality diets remain a challenge for pregnant women. Consumption of okra has great impact on improving the nutritional status Okra plays critical role in prevention malnutrition among women living resource-limited settings. The evidence is scarce impacts mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) measurement A community-based cross-sectional study was employed randomly selected...
BACKGROUND Midupper arm circumference (MUAC) has long been used in anthropometric assessments of nutritional status in field settings, especially in emergency situations, but percentile ranges for healthy, well-nourished children are currently unavailable. OBJECTIVE We developed reference curves for MUAC and derived measures of arm muscle area (AMA) and arm fat area (AFA) on the basis of the ...
BACKGROUND The effect of breastfeeding on the nutrition of HIV-infected (HIV+) mothers is unknown. Simple, valid methods are needed for body-composition assessment of HIV+ women. OBJECTIVE We compared the ability of bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) and anthropometry with that of isotope dilution (2H2O) to measure fat-free mass (FFM) and fat mass (FM) in HIV+ and HIV-uninfected (HIV-) breastfee...
