“…In a study in Bangladesh, the nutritional status of intervention groups was found improved after three months of interventions, compared to the comparison group 16 . In another study in India, both anthropometric and biochemical improvement was found after nutrition counselling for 17 . Among the anemic participants, 2% were iron-deficient at baseline in the control group, which increased to 6% at the endline.…”

The research critically evaluated the sequence of homestead food production (HFP) inputs along with nutrition education program and also the effect of only the latter on nutritional status and school performance in chosen rural secondary school pupils of Kishoreganj district of Bangladesh. In this research, a total of 1214 pupils were distributed among study group 1, study group 2 and the control group. The number of students in study group 1, study group 2 and the control group was406, 400 and 408 respectively. The study group 1 took part in the nutrition education program. The second study group received HFP inputs besides nutrition education. Anthropometric, blood samples and school performance-related data were gathered at the beginning and also after an intervention of six months. In the control group, severe and moderate malnutrition increased at the end of the research period of half a year (from 2.0 to 2.5% and 8.9 to 10.5% respectively). On the other hand, severe and moderate malnutrition reduced in study group 1 (from 8.5 to 6.4% and 13.5 to 11.3%respectively) and study group 2 (from 4.5 to 4.2% and 10.1 to 8.3% respectively) after the intervention. The prevalence of anemia was 48.5%, 43.8% and 48.5% at the baseline in the control, first and second study groups respectively. After half-year, the frequency of anemia escalated in the control group (54.9%) while it reduced in the study group 1 (35.5%) and study group 2 (44%). The serum ferritin level reduced from baseline in the control group. Noteworthy differences in the examination marks were noted in the three groups after the duration of six months, especially among the pupils in study groups 1 and 2. Advancement in curricular achievement of study group 2 was noticeably better than study group 1(p<0.05) and control group (p<0.05). Findings from this study suggest nutrition intervention programs can positively affect the nutritional status and the academic performance of the students. Bangladesh J. Nutr.

“…The prevalence of anaemia is significant in underdeveloped nations, and it is primarily due to iron deficiency and other factors. Low-income people are more likely to suffer from dietary inadequacies [ 14 ]. The study focused on nutritional status of 2-5-year children, impact of nutritional counseling at intervals as compared to children where no nutritional counseling was provided.…”

Malnutrition in children under 5 years is a major public health problem in developing countries. Malnutrition complex comprises of under-nutrition including multiple conditions like acute, chronic malnutrition, micronutrient deficiencies and nutrition related to obesity. Therefore, it is of interest to report data on the individualized nutritional counselling on nutritional status among mild to moderately malnourished children aged 2 – 5 years at one, three and six month follow up. Their dietary habits will help to determine the aetiology of mild/moderate malnutrition.150 Children attending outpatient department of the Department of Paediatrics of D Y Patil Medical College and admitted with mild/moderate malnutrition were included in the study after taking informed consent from their parents. The children were randomly allocated into 4 groups (group 1 – 4). The groups consisted of children where dedicated nutritional counselling was provided at 1 month, 1 and 3 month follow up and where-in no dedicated counselling was provided. A diet chart was provided with counselling. Group 4 followed up with routine care without any dietary intervention. Detailed dietary, socio economic history, clinical examination with anthropometry was done followed-up at 1, 3, 6 months from date of inclusion. Majority (57.3%) belonged to lower socio-economic class according to Kuppuswamy scale. The mean birth weight was 2.4 kg, age 34.5 months and age of weaning 7.6 months. Data shows that 70% children had mild malnutrition and 30% moderate malnutrition. At 6 month follow up amongst 105 children with mild malnutrition, 82 still had mild malnutrition, 4 normal, 19 had moderate malnutrition. Under-five childhood malnutrition is highly prevalent in poor socioeconomic strata of the society. Nutritional counselling provided by trained healthcare providers in existing settings are effective in improving nutritional status, daily calorie/protein intake, prevention of malnutrition. Prevention/treatment of co-existing illness bears equal importance.
