This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malnutrition is a global health concern in children under five years, and often presents as stunting, underweight, overweight and wasting. Measurement errors in taking anthropometry limits their validity in defining childhood malnutrition, resulting in need for alternative techniques. This study aimed to determine the nutritional status of Namibian children under five years, and to correlate these findings with their dietary practices, as well as test new digital technologies in child anthropometric measurements. A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted on Namibian children between the age of 6 to 59 months, using anthropometric measurements of weight, height and mid-upper arm circumference. Height was collected using three different instruments, an analog height board, a digi-board and a 3D scanning mobile phone app called Child Growth Monitor (CGM). The reliability of the digi-board was assessed using technical error of measurement (TEM), percentage technical error of measurement (%TEM), intra class correlation (ICC) and statistical tests on absolute differences. Accuracy of the CGM 3D imaging to diagnose stunting was assessed by sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV). In all these assessments, the analog height board was considered as the gold standard and used for comparison. A dietary survey was conducted using a 24-hour food recall questionnaire. The study recruited 612 children, of which 425 children yielded data using the digital board and analog height board and 187 children yielded data using the CGM 3D imaging and analog height board. The prevalence of malnutrition was determined to be 29.6% stunting, 4.5% wasting, 16.7% underweight and 2.4% overweight, based on the traditional analog height board. The digi-board indicated superiority to the analog height board in terms of reliability (analog TEM = 0.22, digi-board TEM=0.16), while the CGM 3D imaging underestimated children for wasting (analog and CGM 3D imaging = 15% and 13.3% for underweight, and 26.9% and 27% for stunting, respectively). There was a low positive correlation between malnutrition and dietary diversity of children, and food diversity was found to improve child health. In this study, the prevalence of stunting is moderate according to the World Health Organisation cut-offs, confirming that stunted growth is still a health problem in Namibian children under five years, and proper interventions such as food donations and educational programmes to mothers on breast- and young child feeding practices are required to address these issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Children in tropical and subtropical, technically underdeveloped areas of the world suffer from malnutrition as a result of poverty, unavailability of suitable food, lack of knowledge and superstition. Education and assistance is needed as part of the general attempt to raise the standard of living with a resultant tendency to limitation of family size and drop in the birth-rate. The nutritional level of the community and its young children is positively related to the educational and economic level of the community, to the availablity of sufficient food of the right quality and to the adequacy and accessibility of the health services. The problems of infant nutrition are dealt with from the point of view of the health worker in the field. The viewpoint is that an understanding of methods and approaches to food problems by active, community committees is often the prime nutritional need in developing countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report offers a rationale for urgently scaling up effective interventions to reduce the global burden of child and maternal undernutrition. It provides information on nutrition strategies and progress made by programmes, based on the most recent data available. The success stories and lessons leaned that are described in the publication demonstrate that reducing undernutrition is entirely feasible. The report presents detailed, up-to-date information on nutritional status, programme implementation and related indicators for the 24 countries where 80 per cent of the world’s stunted children live. While this report is a call to action for these 24 high-burden countries, it also highlights the need for accelerated efforts to reduce undernutrition in all countries.

This is followed by chapters covering how the baby grows and develops, and various aspects of feeding including breastfeeding, formula feeding and complementary feeding. Most babies and toddlers are not able to fully vocalise their needs, so caregivers will also appreciate how the book covers reading young children's hunger and satiety cues. It continues with a discussion of the practical ways of dealing with challenges that may be experienced with young child feeding, such as colic, gastrointestinal challenges, fussy eaters and even going back to work as a caregiver.The last chapter provides guidance on menu planning for infants and homemade Zambian recipes for toddlers.This book simply offers guidance on best foods for every age and stage to help your child establish a healthy regular eating schedule.
