Download or read book Malnutrition in Children in Nepal written by Deena Rai Subedi and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-07-21 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) is one of the major health problems in developing countries. Although there is a significant body of literature available on this critical health issue, very limited study has been conducted to explore the relationship between social and cultural factors associated with food habits and protein-energy malnutrition of children, especially children under five years of age. Based on a fieldwork conducted in the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal, this monograph examines how social and cultural factors affect people's perceptions about food as well as food habits and the ways these ultimately have effects on the health of children. This volume also argues that the idea of social determinants of health (SoDH) is useful to study PEM in children; however, cultural factors associated with food habits cannot be overlooked when studying PEM in children in Nepal because it if found that children's nutritional status is significantly determined by the families' food habits and culturally practised belief systems.

Download or read book Explaining Child Malnutrition in Developing Countries written by Lisa C. Smith and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2000 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One in three preschool children in developing countries is undernourished. Consequently, they are likely to have impaired immune systems, poor cognitive development, low productivity as adults, and susceptibility to diet-related chronic diseases such as hypertension and coronary heart disease later in life. Undernourished female preschoolers are likely to grow into undernourished young women who are more likely to give birth to babies who are undernourished even before they are born, thus perpetuating the intergenerational transmission of deprivation. This report sheds light on some of the main causes of child malnutrition, projects how many children are likely to be malnourished in the year 2020 given current trends, and identifies priority actions for reducing malnutrition most quickly in the coming decades.

Book excerpt: This paper examines the association between child malnutrition and maternal education in Nepal for families with children under the age of five, as one outcome of child health. The nutritional status of children is measured through standardized Z-score values for height-for-age, weight-for-age, and weight-for-height. The dataset utilized is the newly released 2006 Nepal Health and Demographic Surveys (NDHS), which included 5,783 observations children under five years old and their mother's information. The hypothesis tested is that higher educated mothers and nourished children are positively related. The analysis reveals that there is a strong and positive relationship between child's nutritional status and higher levels of maternal education, holding all other socioeconomic factors constant. As such, policy recommendations should focus on scaling up community-based programs such as female groups and family planning programs, as well as targeted programs such as conditional cash transfer programs (CCTs) and public-private partnerships. Additional policy recommendations focus on maintaining nutrition and education programs on the Nepalese development agenda through an increase in government commitment, overall health system reform, and more predictable funding levels from international donors.

This book was released on 2016-06-29 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the world has seen unprecedented attention and political commitment to addressing malnutrition. Milestones such as the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement, the Lancet Maternal and Child Nutrition Series, and the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2) have marked the rapid rise of nutrition on the global policy and research agenda. These developments reverse years of relative neglect for nutrition. Undernutrition is a global challenge with huge social and economic costs. It kills millions of young children annually, stunts growth, erodes child development, reduces the amount of schooling children attain, and increases the likelihood of their being poor as adults, if they survive. Stunting persists through a lifetime and beyond—underweight mothers are more likely to give birth to underweight children, perpetuating undernutrition across generations. Undernutrition reduces global gross domestic product by US$1.4–$2.1 trillion a year—the size of the total economy of Africa south of the Sahara.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until recently the role of women's social status in determining their children's nutritional health went largely unnoticed. That is, until researchers began to ponder the Asian Enigma- the question of why malnutrition is much more prevalent among children in South Asia than in Sub-Saharan Africa, even though South Asia surpasses Sub-Saharan Africa in most of the principal determinants of child nutrition. This report uses data from 36 countries in three developing regions to establish empirically that women's status, defined as women's power relative to men's, is an important determinant of children's nutritional status. It finds that the pathways through which status influences child nutrition and the strength of that influence differ considerably from one region to another. Where women's status is low, this research proves unequivocally that policies to eradicate gender discrimination not only benefit women but also their children.

Book excerpt: Abstract: Relief efforts for severe nutritional emergencies,in which populations suffer from widespread undernutrition,are examined in a guide for health services personnel andrelief workers. Long term interruption of food supplies maycause mass starvation or severe malnutrition. Thus,providing energy intakes adequate for survival is a majorconsideration in relief planning for emergency needs. Sincedeficiency diseases occur during food shortages, assessmentmeasures and surveillance of nutritional status permit theevaluation of relief programs. Guidelines for general fooddistribution, and mass and supplementary feeding arepresented. Other topics include therapeutic feeding; specialfoods; communicable diseases; camp administration;transportation; and food storage. Appendices review basicnutritional facts, nutrient composition of selected foods,anthropometric measurements, sampling techniques, and avitamin A field test.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dental caries has been called a “silent epidemic” and is the most prevalent chronic disease affecting children. Though much has been written on the science and practice of managing this disease, publications are diverse in their loci, preventing easy access to the reader. Early Childhood Oral Health coalesces all the important information related to this topic in a comprehensive reference for students, academics, and practitioners. This second edition expands the scope of the first and puts an additional focus on interprofessional and global efforts that are necessary to manage the growing disease crisis and screening and risk assessment efforts that have expanded with the boom of new technologies. With updated references and incorporating the latest research, chapters address the biology and epidemiology of caries, the clinical management of early childhood caries, risk assessment, and early diagnosis. Other topics include public health approaches to managing caries worldwide, implementation of new caries prevention programs, fluoride regimens, and community programs, and family oral health education. Brand new are four chapters on the medical management of early childhood caries, considerations for children with special needs, interprofessional education and practice, and how the newest policy issues and the Affordable Care Act affect dental care. A must-read for pediatric dentists, cariologists, public health dentists, and students in these fields, Early Childhood Oral Health is also relevant for pediatricians and pediatric nursing specialists worldwide.
