“…In another study conducted with 639 mentally disabled children between the ages of 6-14 in Egypt, iron deficiency anemia, alpha-tocopherol, zinc, magnesium, and copper deficiencies were determined, and high levels of malnutrition were reported. Micronutrient deficiencies, that increased with age and low socioeconomic level, were more common in children with mental disabilities (AbdAllah et al, 2007). In this study, in children of similar age groups A, B 2, B6, C vitamins, magnesium and phosphorus were found to be higher than the reference values in most age groups, while folic acid, calcium and iron remained below recommendation levels.…”

“…In order to reduce the health inequalities experienced by the individuals with disabilities, it was reported in the World Health Organization Global Disability Action Plan (2014-2021) that the existing health systems should be more inclusive and the public health programs (promotion of advanced nutrition and physical activities including those that are required for a healthy life style) should be more accessible for the individuals with lifelong disabilities (World Health Organization, 2015). Since the health problems associated with insufficient and unbalanced nutrition were common in individuals with disabilities (Bertoli et al, 2006a;Bertoli et al, 2006b;AbdAllah et al, 2007;Neyestani et al, 2010;Nogay, 2013), increasing their and their families' knowledge about nutrition, making them use nutritional counselling services more and making them participate in various projects, programs and nutrition trainings play an important role in the protection and improvement of their health status. Therefore, the results of this study showed that no disabled individuals participating in the study met their energy requirement, the ratios of energy from macronutrients were largely not within the recommended range and there was low fiber intake.…”

Aim: It was aimed to evaluate the daily intake of energy and nutrients to determine the nutritional status of individuals with disabilities. Subjects and Method: The study was carried out under the Disability Support Program in 8 special education, practice and rehabilitation centres in the city centre of [removed for blind peer review] as a cross-sectional study. The demographic characteristics and daily energy and nutrient intake levels of individuals with disabilities were questioned. Daily energy and nutrient intake levels were compared with recommendations. Results: It has been determined that disabled individuals in all age groups diverged negatively from the reference energy value and the rate of energy of carbohydrates was low, the rate of fat was high. Vitamin A was low in males in the 14-18 age group and high in females in the 19-30 age group. Vitamin B1 in 10-30 years old, folic acid was in ≥10 years of age were low in both genders. Calcium and magnesium were low in both genders in all age groups. Conclusion: It has been determined that disabled people were inadequate and unbalanced, and it was thought that periodic evaluation of nutritional status will play an important role in improving their health.

“…Inadequate nutritional status and disability are intimately linked (40). Malnutrition can occur in children with NI as a result of imbalance in nutrient/energy intake, oral motor dysfunction, increased loss of nutrients and basal metabolic rate, and physical inactivity (25,41), necessitating long-term dependence on EN for providing the entire (or partial) caloric intake (15,16,25).…”

“…Long-term EN (LTEN), especially when used exclusively, can deeply affect the GM taxonomic composition and functions. In general terms, LTEN implies a profound change in the provision of nutrients to the gut and this, together with metabolic stress and the use of drugs, normally administered to these patients, is responsible for a marked dysbiosis (15,16).…”

Dysbiosis in Children With Neurological Impairment and Long-Term Enteral Nutrition

Severe neurological impairment (NI) is often accompanied by the need for artificial nutritional support, normally provided enterally (enteral nutrition [EN]) to ensure growth, counteract morbidity and mortality, and improve quality of life. On the other hand, long-term EN (LTEN) may contribute to the establishment, or exacerbation, of gastrointestinal disorders that may lead to malnutrition, which in turn is associated with alterations in gut microbiota (GM) composition and functional capacities. To the best of our knowledge, we investigated, for the first time in this study, the consequences of LTEN in a pediatric population in this pathological context. Using amplicon sequencing, we compared the fecal microbiota of a pediatric population suffering from severe NI and under LTEN to that of sex- and age-matched controls. The two groups presented evident differences in GM composition and a consistent differential clustering. In general, the taxonomic picture in NI children under LTEN seemed to mirror a profound dysbiotic condition, in which anti-inflammatory taxa appear severely depleted (among others, the Clostridiales families of Lachnospiraceae and Ruminococcaceae, and, within the latter, Faecalibacterium spp. and Gemmiger spp.), while known pathobionts (Gammaproteobacteria and Klebsiella) or emerging pathogens (e.g., Synergistales, Cloacibacillus, and Fusobacterium) were significantly enriched. Our data suggest that LTEN has a significant impact on the GM taxonomic composition in NI children. Even if other factors are probably at work, such as the bidirectional interaction between gastrointestinal impairment/immaturity and the central nervous system (CNS), the assumption of drugs, and physical inactivity, these data define possible routes and targets to try to alleviate this dysbiosis, with a view to better management of these patients and an improvement in their quality of life.

Latar belakang: Malnutrisi dan disabilitas merupakan masalah utama kesehatan global. Prevalensi anak disabilitas intelektual di Indonesia meningkat dari 0,92 % menjadi 2,45 %. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui ada hubungan asupan gizi dan aktivitas fisik dengan status gizi anak disabilitas intelektual di Kota Semarang.Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain cross sectional. Pengambilan sampel menggunakan total sampling dan dilakukan di SLB Negeri Kota Semarang. Sampel terdiri dari siswa SDLB kelas 1-6 yang berumur 7-12 tahun. Jumlah sampel yang digunakan adalah sebanyak 46 orang.Hasil: Berdasarkan hasil penelitian diketahui status gizi anak disabilitas intelektual tergolong normal (56,5 %). Anak disabilitas intelektual mengalami defisit energi, karbohidrat, lemak, besi, seng, kalsium, iodium, dan vitamin C. Dan memiliki asupan gizi kategori baik untuk asupan protein dan vitamin A. Hasil uji statistik Rank Spearman menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada hubungan antara asupan karbohidrat, besi, seng, kalsium, iodium, vitamin A, vitamin C dan aktivitas fisik dengan status gizi (skor z IMT/U) (p>0,05). Ada hubungan asupan energi dan protein dengan status gizi (skor z IMT/U) (p=0,005, r=0,40; p=0,001, r=0,53) dengan korelasi sedang dan arah positif. Ada hubungan asupan lemak dengan status gizi (skor z IMT/U) (p=0,001, r=-0,4) dengan korelasi sedang dan arah negatif.Simpulan: Ada hubungan antara tingkat kecukupan energi, protein dan lemak dengan status gizi anak penyandang disabilitas intelektual dan tidak terdapat hubungan antara tingkat kecukupan karbohidrat, besi, seng, iodium, kalsium, vitamin A, vitamin C dan aktivitas fisik dengan status gizi anak disabilitas intelektual di Kota Semarang. Kata kunci: Asupan Gizi, Aktivitas Fisik, Status Gizi, Disabilitas Intelektual. ABSTRACT Title: Relationship of nutritional intake and physical activities with nutritional status (score z imt/u ) children age 7-12 years of intellectual disability in semarang city Background: Malnutrition and disability are the main problems of global health. The prevalence of children with intellectual disabilities in Indonesia increased from 0.92% to 2.45%. This study aimed to determine the relationship between nutritional intake and physical activity with the nutritional status of children with intellectual disabilities in the city of Semarang.Method: This was cross sectional research and conducted in Semarang State SLB. The sample consisted of SDLB students in grades 1-6 who were 7-12 years old. The number of samples used was 46 people. Result: Based on the results of the study, it was found that the nutritional status of children with intellectual disabilities was classified as normal (56.5%). Intellectual disability children have deficits in energy, carbohydrate, fat, iron, zinc, calcium, iodine, and vitamin C and have good nutrition for the intake of protein and vitamin A. The results of the Spearman Rank statistical test sowed that there was no relationship between carbohydrate intake, iron, zinc, calcium, iodine, vitamin A, vitamin C and physical activity with nutritional status (BMI/U z score) (p> 0.05). There was correlation between energy and protein intake with nutritional status (IMT / U z score) (p = 0.005, r = 0.40; p = 0.001, r = 0.53) with moderate correlation and positive direction. There was a correlation between fat intake and nutritional status (IMT / U z score) (p = 0.001, r = -0.4) with moderate correlation and negative direction.Conclusion: There is a relationship between the level of adequacy of energy, protein and fat with the nutritional status of children with intellectual disabilities and there is no relationship between the level of adequacy of carbohydrates, iron, zinc, iodine, calcium, vitamin A, vitamin C and physical activity with the nutritional status of children with intellectual disabilities in the City Semarang. Keywords: nutritional intake, physical activity, nutritional status, intellectual disability
