Minimum Dietary Diversity

Background. Dietary diversity is part of the set of indicators developed to assess infant and young child feeding practices. In developing countries, only a quarter of children met the required minimum dietary diversity. In Ethiopia, only 14% of children aged 6–23 months met the minimum dietary diversity score, with regional variation. Therefore, this study aimed to assess dietary diversity score and associated factors among children aged 6–23 months in Golina district, Afar region, Ethiopia. Method. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 345 study participants from February 15 to March 30, 2017, in Golina district, Afar, Northeast Ethiopia. The study kebeles were selected randomly and the study subjects were selected using a cluster sampling technique. The child dietary diversity score was determined by the WHO child dietary diversity score scale, using a 24-hour dietary recall method, and data were collected using an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify predictor variables, and the level of significance was determined at P value <0.05. Result. This study revealed that children who met the required minimum dietary diversity score were 35.1% (95% CI, (30%–40%)). Children whose mothers have not attended formal education were 3.042 times (AOR = 3.042 95% CI: (1.312–7.052)) less likely to meet the minimum dietary diversity score than children whose mothers have attended secondary and above. Children whose mothers had normal BMI were 51.2% (AOR = 0.488, 95% CI: (0.259–918)) and 68.1% (AOR = 0.319, 95% CI: (0.119–0.855)) more likely to meet the minimum dietary diversity score than children whose mothers’ BMI was underweight and overweight, respectively. Conclusion. Maternal characteristics (educational status and nutrition status) were found to be associated with their child's dietary diversity score. This study also revealed that children who met the minimum dietary diversity score were few. Therefore, the increased emphasis on the importance of the education of girls (future mothers) and nutrition counseling for girls/women who currently have received little education on ways to improve the family and child dietary feeding practice is needed.

Weight Perceptions

Parental perception of children’s weight may influence parents’ feeding practices, and in turn, child dietary intake and weight status; however, there is limited evidence generated for preschoolers. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate associations between Chinese parents’ perceptions of child weight, feeding practices and preschoolers’ dietary patterns. Participants (1616 parent-child pairs) were recruited from six kindergartens in Hunan, China. Parents’ misperception, concern, and dissatisfaction on child weight were collected through a self-administered caregiver questionnaire. Parental feeding practices and children’s dietary intake were, respectively, assessed using the Child Feeding Questionnaire and a Food Frequency Questionnaire. Linear regression models were applied to analyze associations between parental weight perceptions, feeding practices, and preschooler’s dietary patterns. Associations between parents’ weight perceptions and dietary patterns were significant only among underweight children. Regardless of child weight status, parental weight underestimation and preference for a heavier child were positively associated with pressure-to-eat. Parental weight concern was positively associated with restriction in normal weight child, but this was not found in other weight groups. In conclusion, Parents’ misperception, concern, and dissatisfaction about child weight are associated with parents’ feeding practices and may influence preschoolers’ dietary quality, but the relationships vary by children’s actual weight status.

Background: Childrens needs adequacy nutrients to support the growth process. Nutritional needs in children period can be fullfiled by consuming a variety of foods. Agricultural and pond dominated area can to provide adequate food availability. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to analyze the differences of dietary diversity and the level of energy and protein adequacy in children in agricultural and pond dominated areas. Method: This cross sectional study design and samples are 55 children under five years with the mothers/babysitters as respondents. Samples are taken using proportional random sampling. Dietary diversity are assessed using Individual Dietary Diversity Score (IDDS) with the criteria considered to consume if the amount minimum 10 grams. Adequacy energy and protein is assessed using food recall 2×24 hours and continued by compared with AKG. The differences of dietary diversity, energy ad protein adequacy rates are analyzed using Mann Whitney Test. Results: The results shows that  children in agricultural area classified low dietary diversity and middle dietary diversity in children pond dominated area (p=0.024). Children in agricultural and pond dominated areo classified less energy adequate (0.588) and more protein adequacy (0.459). Conclusion: There is difference of dietary diversity at children in agricultural and pond dominated area and ther is no difference of energy and protein adequacy in children in agricultural and pond dominated area.ABSTRAK Latar Belakang: Pada masa balita membutuhkan asupan gizi yang mencukupi untuk menunjang proses tumbuh kembang tersebut.

Improving the nutrition of pregnant women is essential in reducing maternal and child mortality, which is one of the global nutritional goals of 2025. This study evaluated the factors related to the quality of dietary intake among pregnant women in Muntinlupa, Philippines. We conducted a cross-sectional study of 280 pregnant women at a hospital in Muntinlupa from March 2019 to August 2019 using questionnaires. After the primary aggregation, multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with the quality of dietary intake in pregnant women. Approximately half of the women (46.4%, n = 130) had a low dietary diversity during pregnancy. Less than 30% of the respondents consumed beans, soybean products, and nuts. In the logistic regression analysis, poor maternal knowledge of nutritional sources to prevent anemia (odds ratio (OR) 4.25, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.47–12.32, p = 0.01) and less frequent meal consumption (OR 2.15, 95% CI 1.08–4.29, p = 0.03) were significantly associated with poor dietary diversity. Our findings are crucial because they suggest that increasing the knowledge of pregnant women about good nutrition and ensuring that dietary intake is frequent and adequate through antenatal care can improve the nutrition of pregnant women.

Abstract Objectives Iron and iodine deficiencies are among the most common form of nutritional deficiencies globally. Iron and iodine deficiencies lead to detrimental effects on fetus, infant, and maternal health. In developing countries attentions to the problem have been given to fortifications, supplementations, and clinical investigations rather than preventive dietary approaches and screening. We aimed to test the hypotheses that dietary diversity score (DDS) and dietary patterns (DP) predict the risk of iron and iodine deficiencies in mothers (15–49 yr, n = 118) and their toddlers (6–23 mo, n = 121) in a cross sectional-study during lean/dry season in northern Ghana. Methods We aimed to test the hypotheses that dietary diversity score (DDS) and dietary patterns (DP) predict the risk of iron and iodine deficiencies in mothers (15–49 yr, n = 118) and their toddlers (6–23 mo, n = 121) in a cross sectional-study during lean/dry season in northern Ghana. Results We found that risk of iron and iodine deficiencies were predicted by DDS and DP. Compared to DDS ≥4, DDS <4 have higher odds of iron deficiency (AOR: 3.21; 95% CI: 1.02–10.09; P = 0.0466) and iodine deficiency (AOR: 0.11; 95% CI: 0.02–0.76; P = 0.0360). Of two dietary patterns emerged, DP 1 (“rural elites diet”) predicted iron deficiency risk in mothers (AOR: 8.65, 95% CI: 1.76–42.39; P = 0.0287), DP 2 (“indigenous diet”) predicted iodine deficiency risk (AOR: 11.41; 95% CI: 1.36–95.97; P = 0.0406) in mothers but not in toddlers. Conclusions In summary, risk of iron and iodine deficiencies in mothers-toddlers could be screened by DDS and DP in northern Ghana during dry/lean season. Funding Sources BHEARD.

Background: Anemia is a condition characterized by reduction in the number of red blood cells and/or hemoglobin concentration. It affects 24.8% of the world population. There is little evidence on burden of anemia among adolescents in low income countries like Ethiopia. Thus, this study aimed to assess the magnitude of anemia and factors associated with anemia among school adolescents in eastern Ethiopia. Methods: School based cross-sectional study was conducted among 493 school adolescents in Haramaya town during February 1 to 28, 2017. Multi stage cluster sampling technique was used. We collected anthropometric data (weight and height) and hemoglobin level of all study participants. The hemoglobin level was adjusted for altitude. Data were entered into EpiData and exported to SPSS version 20 for analysis. Logistic regression model was fitted to identify factors associated with anemia. Level of statistical significance was declared at P < .05. Results: In this study, the prevalence of anemia was 29.4% [95% CI: (25.6, 33.5)]. Being female adolescent (AOR = 2.31, 95 % CI: [1.51, 3.54]), adolescents attending grades 9th to 10th (AOR = 1.66, 95% CI: [1.004, 2.77]), adolescents born to illiterate mothers [AOR = 2.23, 95% CI: (1.02, 4.89)], and low dietary diversity score (AOR = 2.33, 95% CI: [1.12, 4.86]) were factors that increased the likelihood of getting anemia. Conclusion: Anemia among school adolescents was a moderate public health problem in the study area. Being female, lower grade levels (9th to 10th), low dietary diversity score and illiterate maternal educational status increased the likelihood of getting anemia. School based Iron/Folic acid supplementation, nutrition education and promotion of diversified foods consumption should be given attention with particular focus on female adolescents.
