“…[3] Malnutrition has been fought through nutrition recovery programs with micronutrients and fortified foods through the Program Opor-tunidades (Opportunities). [4][5][6][7][8] In a descriptive study, it was found that children under 5 years of age with malnutrition remain in the nutritional recovery programs after the sixth month of life without the expected rehabilitation. [9] Additionally, the strategy of nutritional recovery through the intake of amaranth flour known for its high nutritional quality (16%-18% protein, eight essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals) has been used; nonetheless, in program evaluations, it was reported that children did not like to eat it.…”

Objective: To assess the effect of the program “Foundations for a healthy life” on parental competence for correct nutrition and on nutritional status of malnourished grade 1 children on a program of nutritional recovery with Amaranth.Methods: Design: Before-after study with intervention and follow up, from June 2015 to November 2017. Instruments: Scale Seca 700, stadiometer Seca 220, Reminder 24 hours and Self-perception of Parental Competence Tool. Setting: Ministry of Health: Nutritional Recovery Program. Participants: Intervention group: Twenty-six dyads caregiver-malnourished grade one children; Control group: Thirty-two malnourished grade one children. Intervention: “Foundations for a healthy life” program. Variables: Nutritional status, parental competence, Kilocalories, macronutrients, fruit and vegetables. Analysis: Wilcoxon and t student tests, Relative Risk, 95% CI, significance p ≤ .05.Results: Intervention vs control group: normalization on the nutritional status 63% vs 29% (p ≤ .05). Caloric adequacy 27% to 81% and protein adequacy 23% to 58%, increased intake of fruits and vegetables. Caregivers trained was associated with the improvement of the nutritional status of the children: post-intervention third month (RR 2.27, 95% CI, p ≤ .05).Conclusions and Implications: The program was effective in improving nutritional status and PCCN by continuing for three months. It is recommended follow-up six months to verify development of new habits.

Background: Almost two billion people who are deficient in vitamins and minerals are women and children in low-and middle-income countries (LMIC). These deficiencies are worsened during pregnancy due to increased energy and nutritional demands, causing adverse outcomes in mother and child. To reduce micronutrient deficiencies, several strategies have been implemented, including diet diversification, large-scale and targeted fortification, staple crop bio-fortification and micronutrient supplementation.Objectives: To evaluate and summarize the available evidence on the effects of micronutrient supplementation during pregnancy in LMIC on maternal, fetal, child health and child development outcomes. This review will assess the impact of single micronutrient supplementation (calcium, vitamin A, iron, vitamin D, iodine, zinc, vitamin B12), iron-folic acid (IFA) supplementation, multiple micronutrient (MMN) supplementation, and lipid-based nutrient supplementation (LNS) during pregnancy.
