“…In line with the other studies stunting was found to be significantly higher in the older age group [44,46]. Stunting which is a marker of chronic malnutrition is more likely to be apparent with increase in age.…”

“…The very low mean HA (-1.17) and WA (-0.33) z scores culminating in the presence of stunting (23.7%) and underweight (4.5%) observed in the children highlights the degree of growth failure in height and weight in SAC in this rural area. The prevalence of stunting is similar to that observed in primary school children in Nairobi-Kenya [43] but higher than the 11.3% observed in SAC in North-Eastern Ethiopia [44]. Male children like their counterparts in Kenya and Ethiopia [44,45] had a significant tendency of being stunted than females while a study in Southern Ethiopia [46] showed no major differences in prevalence of stunting in males and females.…”

The growth and development of male children is influenced by environmental and nutritional stress more than the female [47].…”

Influence of malaria, soil-transmitted helminths and malnutrition on haemoglobin level among school-aged children in Muyuka, Southwest Cameroon: A cross-sectional study on outcomes

Background The health of school-aged children (SAC) is often compromised by malaria parasitaemia (MP), soil-transmitted helminths (STH), and malnutrition in the tropics. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and influence of MP, STH and malnutrition on haemoglobin (Hb) levels as well as identify its predictors. Methods This cross-sectional study was carried out in SAC (4-14 years) in Owe, Mpundu and Meanja villages in Muyuka, Southwest Cameroon. Hb concentration was measured using a URIT-12 Hb meter while MP and STH were determined by Giemsa staining of blood films and Kato-Katz technique respectively. Anthropometric measures (weight, height and mid upper arm circumference (MUAC)) of malnutrition (z-scores of <−2 standard deviations below mean) were obtained by standard methods. Categorical and continuous variables were compared appropriately, and multiple linear regression model was used to determine predictors of Hb level. Results The prevalence of MP, STH, anaemia and malnutrition in the 401 SAC examined were 33.9%, 2.2%, 75.3% and 24.4% respectively. The prevalence of MP varied significantly with locality (P = 0.031). Stunting occurred commonly (23.7%) and was significantly higher in males (28.6%), children 11-14 years old (38.3%) and those of Meanja locality (47.4%) than their counterparts. Significantly higher prevalence of anaemia was observed in children of Meanja (89.5%) and those both MP positive and malnourished (86.2%). Moderate anaemia occurred commonly (60.6%) and children �6 years old had significantly (P = 0.034) higher

“…Among the eligible articles, 26 of them include data for both stunting and wasting/thinness while 13 articles treating either stunting or wasting/thinness. Therefore, 38 articles 16 -53 and 27 articles 18-20,23-26,29-32,34,36,37,38,41-45,47,49,50-54 were used for the analysis of stunting and wasting/thinness, respectively. All studies included in this meta-analysis were conducted on schoolchildren with a minimum age of 4 years and the upper limit was not mentioned in a few studies.…”

Background: Several studies have been carried out on assessing the prevalence of undernutrition and possible determinants among schoolchildren in Ethiopia, but there is a lack of systematically gathered and analyzed information. Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to summarize epidemiological data on undernutrition and possible determinants among schoolchildren in Ethiopia. Methods: We conducted a systematic review using open access articles that report the prevalence of stunting and wasting/thinness among schoolchildren from PubMed Central, Scopus, and Science direct. The pooled prevalence was determined using a random-effect model while heterogeneities between studies were evaluated by I 2 test. Results: A total of 24 716 schoolchildren were included in the 39 eligible articles. The prevalence of stunting and wasting/thinness among schoolchildren in Ethiopia were 23.1% (95% CI: 19.0-27.0) and 22% (95% CI: 17-26), respectively. There was a marked difference in the prevalence of stunting and wasting/thinness across regions of Ethiopia. The risk of stunting was increased with meal frequency ≤3 times a day (odds ratio [OR] = 3.02, 95% CI: 1.90-4.14), age >10 years (OR = 2.16, 95% CI: 1.47-2.85), and family size ≥5 (OR = 1.88, 95% CI: 1.40-2.35). Similarly, the risk of wasting/thinness was increased with male sex (OR = 2.06, 95% CI: 1.54-2.58), low family income (OR = 2.16, 95% CI: 1.30-3.01), and age >10 years (OR = 1.78, 95% CI: 0.74-2.82). Conclusion: This study revealed that more than one-fifth of schoolchildren are stunted or wasted/thinned in Ethiopia. Large family size, male sex, and student age were consistently associated with stunting and wasting/thinness among schoolchildren. This study highlights the importance of an integrated effort to reduce undernutrition in Ethiopia.

Perbedaan Asupan Zat Gizi Saat Sarapan Pada Siswa Sekolah Dasar Stunting Dan Tidak Stunting Di Kota Kupang

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Latar Belakang: Stunting menggambarkan kegagalan pertumbuhan dan sering ditemui pada anak sekolah. Stunting dapat menurunkan kualitas generasi di masa mendatang. Anak stunting perlu diberikan sarapan agar dapat fokus pada pelajaran dan beraktivitas optimal di sekolah. Tujuan: Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menganalisis beda asupan zat gizi makro dan mikro saat sarapan pada siswa sekolah dasar stunting dan tidak stunting di Kota Kupang. Metode: Desain case control diterapkan dalam studi ini. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Mei sampai Agustus 2019 di SD Inpres Maulafa dan SD Negeri Kelapa Lima, Kota Kupang. Variabel bebas dalam penelitian ini adalah asupan zat gizi, meliputi karbohidrat, protein, lemak, zat besi, seng, vitamin A, dan kalsium, sedangkan variabel terikat, yaitu stunting. Asupan zat gizi dikumpulkan menggunakan form food recall 1x24 jam dan status stunting ditentukan dengan melakukan pengukuran tinggi badan menggunakan microtoise kemudian dihitung menggunakan indikator TB/U. Sampel penelitian adalah siswa kelas 5 dengan jumlah 58 siswa stunting dan 58 siswa tidak stunting yang dipilih menggunakan teknik consecutive sampling dan diuji dengan independent t-test. Hasil: Lebih banyak responden berjenis kelamin perempuan yang stunting (58,6%). Ada perbedaan asupan karbohidrat (p=0,022), protein (p=0,044), lemak (p=0,046), zat besi (p=0,035) dan seng (p=0,043) saat sarapan pada siswa stunting dan tidak stunting. Simpulan: Ada perbedaan asupan zat gizi makro dan mikro saat sarapan pada siswa sekolah dasar stunting dan tidak stunting di Kota Kupang.
