CMFA-2012Plenary TalkFrom Dr. Varsha, Associate Member of Executive Council, IAPEN

MALNUTRITION UNIVERSAL SCREENING TEST [MUST]

Malnutrition ‘time bomb’ warning – “a pathologic state resulting from a relative or an absolute deficiencyor from an excess of one or more essential nutrients”

• Marasmus – results from a long-term deprivation of nutrients – easily recognized by a wasted,cachectic appearance

• Kwashiorkor – result of a deficit of protein in relation to calories and may develop over a shorterperiod and manifest as edema due to hypoalbunemia

• Marasmus/Kwashiorkor mix – combination results when metabolic stress is imposed with preexistingmalnutrition

Malnutrition has been identified as a common problem among hospital, home care, and other alternativesite settings, and increases the cost of health care

1. Rising health care costs - a global concern. Costly negative health outcomes contribute to this problem2. Malnutrition is associated with a. higher morbidity and mortality, b. slower wound healing, c. longer

hospital stays, d. a higher rate of complications & as a result, higher health care costs

Prevention of malnutrition mandates early detection & intervention and since nutritional & metabolicsupport is not reserved for malnourished patients, it is imperative that nutrition screening & assessment

protocols for malnutrition in hospitalized patients be established and implemented in Indian context.Protocols are essential to the effective practice of nutrition support, aids the ability to efficiently and

effectively determine who needs medical nutrition therapy via nutrition screening and assessmentprocesses, helps determine the best time to initiate nutrition support, and helps Establish which route of

nutrient delivery is most appropriate

Why ‘screen’ first• Staffing and budget limitations – a complete nutrition assessment on every patient impossible, hence a

nutrition screening tool and assessment program essential• Ideally, characteristics of the specific patient population dealt be considered for developing a nutrition

screening tool. A consistent sequence of procedural decisions helpful in managing the nutrition care ofpatients.

• A well-developed nutrition screening tool used by a variety of qualified health care professionals – thedietetic technician, dietary manager, nurse or physician

Objectives of ‘screening for nutritional risk’

• Process of identifying patient characteristics known to be associated with nutrition problems• Its purpose to quickly identify individuals who are malnourished or at nutritional risk

• Nutrition risk factors or indicators have the potential for causing malnutrition if it is not already present• Patients classified as “at risk” are candidates for subsequent nutrition assessment and intervention

Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool – MUST is A Five-step screening tool to identify adults, who are

malnourished, at risk of malnutrition [undernutrition], or obese [overnutrition]. Includes managementguidelines that can be used to develop a care plan

It is for use in hospitals, community and other care settings and can be used by all care workersStep 1 – measure height and weight to get a BMI score using chart provided.

If unable to obtain height and weight, use the alternative proceduresStep 2 – note percentage unplanned weight loss and score using tables provided

Step 3 – establish acute disease effect and scoreStep 4 – add scores from steps 1, 2 & 3 together to obtain overall risk of malnutrition

Step 5 – use management guidelines and/or local policy to develop care plan


CMFA-2012Plenary TalkFrom Dr. Channarayappa, Head of the Department, Biotechnology, MSRIT

Role of Biotechnology to Combat Malnutrition: Challenges and Solutions

Dr. Channarayappa, Professor and Head,Department of Biotechnology, M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology,

Malnutrition is a real bane of the nation as well as is a global issue. Overcoming this menace is very

challenging and requires comprehensive measures. Even though supplements of nutrient concentrates

in various forms have found to be very effective, it appears that it is not a viable solution in long termdue to some inherent problems such as high cost, difficulty in distribution and inability to solve the

problem at root level, requires lot of skilled workers, creating awareness, etc. Therefore, it

necessitates to finding alternate solutions to this life threatening problem. Biotechnology being aninterdisciplinary field can play very significant role in finding amicable solutions and providing

appropriate technology to combat this menace of malnutrition effectively. Biotechnology is apowerful tool can work at DNA (genetic material) level to produce desirable characters virtually in

any organism importance of food source.

Among, many efforts made in this regard, some noteworthy accomplishments are

development of transgenics for various food traits. Such as expression of �-carotene gene in golden

rice, changes in lipid composition in many oil seed crops, enhancement of vitamin production in foodcrops, improvement of protein quality and quantity in wheat, potato; production of pro-immunogenic

chemicals in fruits and vegetables, increase of essential mineral nutrients in food crops, and so on.

These transgenic foods have many advantages over the conventional methods. Whichincludes, they are integral part of the food source no need for special preparation or formulation, often

they do not require extraction or processing, which reduces cost enormously. They can be produced in

large quantities at cheaper cost; they do not replace or different from the regular food types. No expertassistance required. It can become a long term viable solution for many years and many types of

malnutrition. Biotechnology can also play very important role in diagnosing and rectifying the foodadulteration and also can provide effective solutions to overcome these maladies.

Syndrome-X is a condition defined by a cluster of related symptoms or metabolic syndrome like insu lin resistance, hyperlipidemia, obesity,cardiovascular disease, retinopathy and nephrop athy. All these have a risk of causing major disorder like thyroid dysfunct ion. This complication

is of high prevalence especially in In dian population mainly due to food nutrit ional li festyle. The s tatus of this Syndrome-X associated thyroiddysfunct ion and the prevalence of metabolic syndromes were studied in 100 subjects at C.S.I Kalyani Multi Speciali ty Hospital, Mylapore,Chennai. Among th e metabolic disorder we have emphasized ou r s tudy on diabetes mellitus . Diabetes mellitus after therapy with synthetic dru gssuch as H.Mixtard, H.Actrapid, Daonil and Tab.Semidaonil has showed significant reduction in the blood sugar levels and return to normallevels . Among the four different drugs which were u sed in this study H.Mixtard, H.Actrapid showed maximum ch anges in th e AC and PC valueswhen compared to Tab.Daonil and Tab.Semidaonil . The distinction of HBA1C in Syndrome-X patient was found to be normal after treatment

and the levels of urine sugar and acetone was found to b e negative and normal respectively. There was also a significant change in the BMI levelsand lipid profi le after ad ministration with Tab.Lipicord and low fat diet. The subjects were observed with reduction in hypertension and normalECG pattern after treatment. Troponin-T content was also negative in treated pat ients. On diagnos is of thyroid hormone levels of the Syn drome-Xsubjects showed hypothyroid b efore treatment, but there was a significant change in the TFT-T3, TFT-T4 an d TSH values after treatmen t. Thisstudy sh ows clearly the relation ship between Syndrome-X and h ypothyroidism.

Food is any substance con sumed to provide nu tri tional support for the bod y. Maln utri tion is an abnormal physiological condition described as theimbalance between nutrient intak e and requiremen ts which resul ts in al tered metabolism, impaired funct ion and loss of b od y mass. According toUNICE F about 30% of Ind ia’s child ren are born underweight , and by the age of five, 44% are underweight and 48% are stunted due to chronicmalnutrition, one third of women are underweight and over half of married women are anaemic. Malnutrition is est imated to be a contributingfactor in over 50 % of child deaths in developing countries. Analysis and detection of micronutrients is important for the reduction of the global

burden of malnutrition-related disease. Mass spectrometry can be applied in a comprehensive evaluat ion for rapid, simultaneous detection of thekey micronu trients zin c, i ron, folate, vitamin A, vitamin C and iodine. Mass spectroscopy is one of the main techniques emp loyed inmetabolomics studies , becau se of the manifold of s ignals that can be d etected over a large dynamic range of several orders of magnitude and theinherent quantification of micronutrients by spectral integration can be analyzed in a few min utes /hours with high accuracy in a non-d estructiveway. A mult ivariate analysis method, principal component analysis (PCA), can be used to qualitatively separate the fragments obtained bynutrient type. Separation of the nutrien ts at con centrations relevant for human blood-based nutrient detection is possible by ESI-MS. The

analyt ical advantages of mass spectrometry (MS), including sensit ivity and high throughput, p romise to make it a mainstay of novel b iomarkerdiscovery for malnutri tion.

The human development index of Raichur district is lowes t , it is known for its sonamasuri rice, hutti gold mines, thermal power generation,amidst hot sun i.e., the temperature ranging between 40-44

oc during summer. Added to this is another phenomena of malnourishment among

children. From November 2008, this district has witnessed increasing the morbidity pat tern of children due to malnou rishment . Thousands ofchildren have lost their lives due to poor nutri tion. Hence the prevalence of malnourishment and factors influencing it were interrogated in thepresent s tudy. The prevalence of malnourishment was measured using the nutritional anthropometry mainly it is weight of child ren. A cluster ofsix vi llages namely Ask ihal (3 Anganwadis), Yaklaspur (2 Anganwadis), Marchad (3 Anganwadis) and Manchalapur (3 Anganwadis) of raichur

taluka covering eleven anganwadis were selected for the study. The records maintained at Anganwadi were served as source of data, hence i t issecondary data. This secondary data was supplemented with the interviews with mothers, ASHA workers and ANMs. The growth charts ofchildren were also reviewed to assess the growth pattern of children. The methodology fol lowed in measuring weights was with the beam balance, where the children were made to sit with minimum clothing, and hands free, and then the weight was recorded. The children were thenclass ified using the Gomez’s classification and categorized as grade I , II and III.

‘Composite Flour’ is a mixture of different flours from cereal, legume and tubers that is formulated to satisfy specific funct ional characterist ics

and nutrient composi tion. It adds high quality proteins to the diet and restores the amino-acid balance of the food. The common diet based only

on cereals or mil lets like rice, wheat, finger millet , jowar or maize as s taple foods fail to supplement the quanti ty of proteins and micronutrients

required for the maintenance of normal body functions. Therefore the nutrition of the diet can be enhanced by enriching the staple food itself and

it is often preferred in the context of nutrition interventions as it is easier to implement, cost effective and donot require any change of food

habits. Introduction of composite flour mixes for the enrichment of cereal based staple foods would be beneficial as it would ensure the dai ly

required intake of the whole range of nutrients. In an effort to address the issue, the acceptability of soya enriched fingermillet based composite

flour mix was assessed through on-farm test ing involving farm women at Hosapalya village o f Magadi taluk, Ramnagar district. Soybean

(Glycine max) is a cheap source of quality protein that is superior to all other plant based protein source because it has good balance of the

essential amino acids and it contains a reasonable amount of methionine and thus has the poten tial of p roviding a relatively cheap protein source.

Horsegram (Macrotyloma uniflorum) though rich in protein (22g/100g) and calcium (287mg/100g) is not consumed regularly in the dai ly

dietary. Horse gram is known to have many therapeutic effects and has been recommended in ayu rvedic medicine to treat renal s tones, pi les,

ed ema etc. It is rich in iron, calcium, molybdenum and polyphenols which have high antioxidant capacity and hemaglut tinin a substance found in

antibodies and autoimmune functions.Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) is also a good source of protein (25.3g/100g), fenugreek (Trigonella

foenum-graecum) helps con trol cholesterol , triglyceride as well as high blood sugar levels in diabetics. A combinat ion of finger millet (80%) with


CMFA-2012mg/100g and the calorific value being 345 Kcal.The composite flour was uti lised easily in the daily dietary to prepare products like mudde(dumpling/ragiball), poushtik rot i or dosa. This combination was accep ted by the people due to good sensory at tributes and therefore it is a good

option to include protein rich food to manage malnutrit ion in the daily dietary of women.

Micronutrient deficiency in India, part icularly among women, child ren and adolescen ts is an emergency needing immediate attention if thecountry has to have inclus ive growth and development. Bes ides deficiency of calories and protein, deficiency of micronutrients (MN) (vitamins

and minerals) is rampant.There are many supplementary programs held by Governmen t to overcome these problems. To some extent this can beprevented by designing different food products from locally available fruits and vegetables as they are the rich sources ofvitamins and minerals. In the context of this some of the value added p roducts were fabricated from locally available fruits (kokum, amla) andvegetable (ash gourd) in the department of Food Science and Nutrition , University of Agricu ltural Sciences Bangalore. The results showed that ,the fermented kokum juice helps in reducing weight and can be used as acidulant, antidiabetic, cardioton ic, antihypertens ive and for other

general health p roblems. Ash gourd and amla based instant mixes from the present study can be serve as a successful dietetic drink. Since, i t hasgood quanti ty of ascorbic acid and calcium, it can be recommended for the school going children to geriatrics, which helps in the properabsorpt ion of nutrients.To meet the challenge of ensuring nutrition securi ty of ever growing population of our coun try, we have to tap the potentalof different locally available frui ts and vegetables for development of value added products.

Tradit ionally, mulberry fruit has been used as a medicinal agent to nourish the skin and blood, benefits kidneys treat weakness, fatigue, anaemiaand premature graying of hair. The frui ts are rich in vital nutrients and antioxidant especially Anthocynins. The fruits usual ly wasted can beuti lized for preparation of various value added products. An attempt has been made to develop fermen ted Health Drink and s tudied the physico-chemical characteristics of mulberry frui ts. The Morus nigra frui ts were collected and fermented health drink was developed with three variations

such as with whole fruits, crushed fruits and crushed mulberry with Resins. Cent per cent incorporation was acceptable in fermented health drink.The variation which was prepared by crushed mulberry frui ts obtained highest score for al l sensory attributes. The physico-chemicalcharacteristics of product showed that the TSS was 6°BRIX, tit rable acidi ty was 0.58per cent, alcohol percentage was 6.06per cent and pH was3.59. The nutrien t composition showed that protein was 1.6per cent, fat 0.4per cent, crude fibre 0.7per cent, carbohydrate 125.4per cent , and totalash was 1 .07per cent. The analysis of micronutrients showed that, calcium was 77.39mg per cent, phosphorus 24.19mg per cent, vitamin C

19.13mg per cent and iron was 2.97mg per cent . It was found that fermented drink had 2 .71mg per cent of Anthocynins. The cost of productionfermented health drink was Rs . 12 per 100ml. The p roduct was stored in glass bott les of 100ml capaci ty at room temperature. The sensoryevaluation for stored fermented health drink was done for two, four and six months and the score was high as the storage time increased, whichmay be due to aging. Thus fermented d rink can be recommended as health drink as i t is rich in nutrients and also for the anthocyanin content.

Vitamin A deficiency is a major public health problem in our country affecting particu larly the preschool children. The main et iological factors

contributing to VAD are low d ietary intake, poor socio-economic status, associated deficiencies like protein energymalnutrition as well as

recurrent infection. An investigation pertaining to “vitamin-A status in Dharwad taluk – A qualitative approach” was carried out in rural areas of

Dharwad taluka. A some of 180 children (9 months to 3 years) were randomly selected from three Primary Health Centers (PHCs) of Dharwad

taluka. Data from literature review, key informant interviews, group discussion, market surveys and food consumption pattern were included for

qualitative assessment of vitamin A statu s of a community. The results revealed that Ind ia as one of the vitamin A deficient countries . At the

national level the magnitude and distribution of vitamin A deficiency reveals a significant health problem. Food availabilityand cost of foods


CMFA-2012suggest that vitamin A deficiency should not be a critical health problem in the study area. However, inadequate consumption of vitamin A richfoods, existence of local term for night bl indness, food taboos indicate that vi tamin A deficiency is potent ially still a problem among children.

The term prebiotics generally refers to a food component that cannot be digested in the gut but has potentially beneficial effects on the host byselectively promoting the growth/act ivity of a number of microorganisms in the large bowel, such as bifidobacteria and lactobacil li, which arethought to have potential heal th promoting effects. Th is native probiotic infant flora is maintained in the breast-fed infant in part via bifidogenicsubstrates , galacto-oligosaccharides, contained in human breast milk and classically termed ‘bifido factor’. This interplay between flora and

breast milk has drawn attent ion to the bifidogenic effect of nutritional supplements and bifidogenicity has become a hallmark of the prebiot icconcept.

Probiot ics are marketed as capsules, tablets, milk, forti fied infan t milk formulas, yoghurts and other dairy products as well as powders.It is well known that the effect of a bacterium is s train specific and cannot be extrapolated even to other strains of the same species. The use ofprobiotics has been shown to have a therapeutic as well as prophylact ic effect on diarrhoeal il lnesses of mult iple aetiologies.

The mechanisms of action certainly need to be adequately defined, but i t is becoming apparent that the modifications of intestinal flora

by the ingest ion of probiotics or prebiotics can interact with the immunological component of the intest ine and yield not only gastrointest inalprotective effects. Much has been learned, but much has yet to be learned.

Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench) is an economically importan t vegetable crop grown in tropical and sub-tropical parts of the world. It

has good nutritional value, particularly vitamin-C (30 mg/100 g), calcium (90 mg/100 g) and iron (1.5 mg/100 g) and fibre con tent 1 .2 gper 100

g in the edible fruit (Pal et al., 1952). However dry seeds of okra contain 20 to 30 per cent crude protein. Now a day enhancing the protein,

vitamin and micronutrient contents of food grains and vegetables would greatly benefit poor consumers who cannot afford supplementary

vitamins and micronutrients taking upper hand .Because people are suffering from nutritional d isorders (malnutri tion) especially aneamia and

other problems. The study was undertaken to evaluate iron con tent of parents and the hybrids obtained by 10 x 10 full dial lel method involving

Increasing dietary diversification is the most important factor in providing a wide range of micronutrients. Finger millet (Eleusine coracana) istypically a tropical crop fall ing under the group of minor millet. The nutritive value of finger millet is high er than that of rice and equal to that ofwheat. It is especially rich in calcium con tain ing as much as 344 mg per 100g. Mil let grains are also rich in important vitamins such as thiamine,riboflavin, folin e and niacin b esides minerals lik e iron and phosphoru s. The food value of finger millet is very much appealing as it has more

satiety value. It meets the first and most important need of mankind, the energy and hunger satis faction. In nature many und erutilised greens areavailable of promising nutri tive value, wh ich can nou rish the ever increasing populat ion. They have remained underut ilised due to lack ofawareness and popularisat ion technique for uti lization . Now a day’s underuti lised foods are gaining importance as a means to increase per capitaavailabil ity of foods. Keepin g in view the importance of this thrust area the present inves tigation was done with the objective of formulat ion andstandardisation of enrich ed ragi flour with underuti lised green leafy vegetables. Enriched flour was formulated with 80% finger mil let , 10%

soybean, 3% Annesoppu(Celos ia argentea Linn.,) leaves powder, 3% Drumstick leaves powder and 4% fenugreek seeds powder. Two valueadded tradit ional foods n amely poustika roti and dumplings were standardised by using enriched flour. The products were su bjected to sensoryand consumer evaluation. The overall acceptabili ty of poustika roti was found to be good by more than 90% of the subjects. The colour of thedumpling was slight darker than control due to addit ion of green leaves powder but found to be acceptable. Hence, addition of underuti lisedgreens in staple food s may contribute significantly to th e nutrient intake of rural popu lation and to overcome micronutrient deficiencies.

Malnutrition is one of the major public h ealth challenges in developing countries leading to a silent epidemic, which h as devastating effects onchildren leading to morbidity and mortality. Most vulnerable n ext to infan cy is preschool (1-5years) children, represents about 14% of the Indianpopulation living in urban slums and rural areas. Nutrit ional deficiency d isorders are common among preschool children in India leadin g to highmortality and morbidity. Preschool age mortali ty in India is as high as almost 11% of all deaths. Thus, at tempt to reduce child mortality,

monitoring and reducin g the prevalence of malnutrition in vulnerable populations is essen tial. The p revalence of malnutrition among presch oolchildren can be used to determine the n eed for nutrit ional survei llance, nutri tional care, or appropriate nutri tional intervention programmes in acommunity.

Universi ty of Agricul tural Sciences, Raichur

This study is part of univers ity s taff research project, sanctioned by universi ty of Agriucultural sciences, Raichur during the year 2011-12. Themain objective of this project was to develop bajra based novel health food to overcome malnutrition among the child ren and women. As apretesting, the data on dietary habits of children were collected. The child ren were in the age group of 1-6 years o f age. The sample was selected

at Lingasugur taluka based on the severity of malnutrition, who for one or the other reason visi ted hospital.

Food is the primary need of a human being. It is the need that drives all the human beings to action. Food provides adequately forbodies growth, maintenance, repair and reproduction. The years between 1-6 years is considered as preschoolers. During this period growth isgeneral ly slower than in the first year of life but continues gradually. Activity also increases markedly during second year of life as the childbecomes increasingly mobile. There is an increased need for nu trients. If required nutrients are not supplied that may lead to macro or micro

nutrient deficiencies (Malnutrition). Hence with a view to understand the food consumption pattern of anganwadi children a study was conductedin villages of lingasugur taluka, Raichur district during the year 2012 by interviewing parents of preschool chidren by using prestructuredschedule. Results revealed that majority of children consume rice sambar or tea biscuit (53.33%) as their breakfast and as snacks (53.33%) (Aftercoming from school). Consumption of vegetables and fruits is very low (16.60%) due to non availability of fresh vegetables and frui ts and lack ofstorage facilit ies. Lower percentage of mothers have introduced weaning foods (6.60%) and it can be concluded that this is mainly because oflack of nutritional knowledge, purchas ing power and easy availability of ration i.e rice.

The world adolescent population-1200 million persons 10-19 years of age, or about 19% of the total population faces a series of seriousnutritional challenges not on ly affecting their growth and development but also their l ivel ihood as adults. Yet adolescents remain a largelyneglected, difficul t to measure and hard to reach population, in wh ich the needs of adolescent girls in particu lar are often ignored. Adolescence is

a particularly unique period in life because it is a time of intense physical, psychological and cognitive development. Increased nutritional needsat this juncture related to the fact that adolescents gain up to 50 per cent of their adult skeletal mass during this period. The main nutrit ionalproblem among adolescent in Gadchiroli district is Anemia. The area of adolescent health is difficult to s tudy. There are many unknown factorsand consequences for all these forms of malnutrition during adolescence, in terms of standards , measurement indicators and health consequences .A study has been conducted for anemic adolescen t girls. In this case they were supplied a glass(100 ml) of gogu drink a day upto three months

and by post evaluation i t is found that there is average increase in hemoglob in level by 3.2 gm.

Nutritional status is best indicator of global well-being of children. Millets known for their superior nutritional quality are ind igenous to theregion. Their introduction in the diet of children as nutritional supplements can help in boosting their heal th. Increased consumption of these

crops in turn will raise their popularity among the younger generation, helping them to regain their foothold as a s taple diet in the mil let growingareas. The study regarding effect of feeding local ly grown millet diet to children in mid-daymeals is lacking, so this study intends to study on thisaspect. Hence, the present study was planned with an object ive to introduce ragi (Finger millet) diet to feed the school going children and to testthe effect on health and growth of children in composition with mid-day meal diet. A sample of 60 children in the age group of 11-14 years fromthe vidhyathriniliaya of Chintamani taluk were selected. Intervention by way of supplementary feed ing was conducted for a period of 90 days . Adetai led schedule was prepared to assess the socio-economic s tatus of the families. The children were divided into two groups. Thirty children

were fed finger millet food and other thirty children fed regular midday meal rice d iet for period of 3 months. The feeding revealed that there wasan improvement in the nutri tional status of school children of mil let fed group as compared to regular rice diet with respect to weight andhemoglobin levels. Hemoglobin level was significantly increased in the ragi group to the extent of 32.00 – 37.60 per cent . Ragi foods were verytasty and acceptable by more than 85 per cent of school children. Thus millet food as a good source of micronu trients improves the nutrit ionalstatus of school going children which can be recommended in the mid -day meal programmes.

Key words: Nutritional status, ragi, supplementary feeding and hemoglobin.

Ass istant Professor, Departmen t of Biochemistry, Institute o f NephroUrology, India

Anemia is a common manifestation of chronic kidney failure, and contributes to multiple adverse outcomes, possibly via decreased tissueoxygen delivery and utilization.Diabetes is the foremost cause of chronic kidney disease and patients with diabetic nephropathy may have worseclinical outcomes related to anemia than other etiologies of kidney failure.Hence this study was undertaken to examine the relationship ofanemia with diabetes and kidney function. This study involved 100 patients of chronic kidney disease with diabetes and 100 patients of chronickidney d isease without diabetes. We found that prevalence of anemia was significant ly greater in persons with diabetes compared to persons

without diabetes and the overall mean hemoglobin levels were significantly lower in diabetic patients. Hence early identificat ion of anemia inhigh risk population like patients with diabetes could lead to effect ive preventive and therapeutic strategies to improve the outcomes.

CURBING MALNUTRITION—A KEY TO SUCCESS IN NUHM (NATIONAL URBAN HEALTH MISSION)

Kamal Kant SharmaHealth care management student, IIHMR, New Delhi, India

Malnutri tion is a greatest threat posing the world’s public health in the develop ing countries. Malnutrit ion is the condition thatresults from taking an unbalanced diet in which certain nu trients are lacking, in excess (too high intake) or in the wrongproportion. Malnutrition is bigges t contributor to child mortal ity. The large proport ion of mortali ty (58%) was due to malnutri tionof total mortali ty (approx 62 million) in world in 2006. Lack of basic amenities like safe d rinking water, proper housing, drainage

and excreta disposal make people vulnerable to infection which further compromises the nutrition of those living in the slums.Malnutri tion doesn’t only hamper the physical but mental growth and even overall development of an individual. Malnourishmentin child leads to underdevelopment of brain, retarded physical stature, and child tends to develop a aggressive behaviour in laterstage of life or may die if si tuat ion worsens and more than 70 percent malnourished children live in Asia .India is home to thegreatest population of severely malnutri tion children in the world . According to NFHS II, 47% of the children aged less than 3years are malnourished. Although our health sys tem has so far accorded higher priority to ru ral population than the urban

populat ion, the urban sector however now needs increased attention and thus NUHM (NATIONAL URBAN HEALTH MISSION)aims to cover India’s 210 .7 million urban res idents with a special focus on the 62.5 mill ion poor people who live in s lums. But sti ll

Rapid economic development and increas ing urbanization have led to a dramatic rise in overweight among adults in many low-income countries .Paradoxically, overweight often coexists with persist ing under-nutrition among members of the same household.

During the era of intense economic globalization – the early 1980s to the present – there have been two clear nutrit ion trends , fi rst ly,there was a decline in the proportion of undernourished children and adults in the world, but with absolute numbers remaining high and theproport ional rate of decline s low; second ly, the number of overweight/obese people, and those with associated diet related chronic diseases

(DRCDs), rose significantly. The increase was particularly rapid in developing countries, where the burden of overweigh t/obesity is also shiftingtoward lower socio-economic status. This is related to what is often termed as the “nutrition transition”. The result is a series of nutrit ionalinequities in many nations, communities, and households (Hawkes, 2007).

This study aims at pointing such dual form of malnutri tion exis ting in a household i.e. occurrence of both undernutrition andovernutrit ion together and determining the adequacy of food consumption in mother-chi ld pairs.

The present study was conducted to find out prevalence of anaemia, associated sociodemograph ic factors in pregnant women of lowsocioeconomic group and its effect on pregnancy outcomes. The research design was based on assessing the nutritional statu s, Hb status, foli ferconsumption and birth outcomes of the pregnant women . Study was conducted in a government hospital of Haryana, India .A total of 100

women were included. Hemoglob in was tested by cyanmethemoglobin method.The mean hemoglobin status of the women was 9 .46±7.09g/dl atthe time of pregnancy detection, 9 .06±8.5g/dl at the time of third trimester, and 9.54±6.62g/dl at the time of del ivery. Majority of subjects (77%)were found anaemic (43% mild and 34% moderately anaemic).The blood sample of about 30 newly born children were tested, 43.3% new bornwere anaemic (mean Hb was 8.3±5.59g/dl) with Hb level below 7.0g/d l and 56.7% were normal . The mean energy intake of subjects was1684±550 .7 kcal/day. Almost 61% of the subjects were consuming the iron fol ic tablets p rescribed by the doctor, and rest were not consumingthe tablets. Only 21% of subjects were regular in consumption of these tablets. The majori ty of women, however, simply believed that the tablets

did not p rovide any perceptible benefi ts so discontinued taking it at some poin.Maternal educational level, income, nutritional status, Hb s tatus,weigh t and knowledge about anaemia were interrelated to the birth outcome

Shalini SDepartment of Community Medicine, MS Ramaiah Medical College, MSR Nagar, Bangalore-560054

With a view to enhancing enrollment, retention and attendance and simultaneously improving nutritional levels among students, the NationalProgramme of Nutritional Support to Primary Education (NP-NSPE) was launched as a centrally sponsored scheme during 1995, init ially in 2408blocks in the country. By the year 1997-98 the NP-NSPE was introduced in all blocks of the country to provide cooked mid day meal with 300calories and 8 -12 grams of p rotein to all students studying in classes I-V in Government and aided schools 1. In September 2006 the scheme wasrevised by making it mandatory for all government and aided schools to implement the scheme. Apart from the supplementary nutri tion

programme for 5-10 year old students, there are no other food supplementation efforts for older students in government schools . The keyobject ives of the programme are: protecting students from classroom hunger, increasing school enrolment and attendance, improvingsocialization among students belonging to al l castes, and more importantly, addressing the issue of malnutrition among s tudents

1. The resultant

general improvement in health and nutrition of such school students cou ld be assessed through annual monitoring of growth in terms of weightand height . Few studies have been conducted in India to study the impact of such nutrition supplementation on the growth of school students1,2, 3,4. The objective of the present communication is to report the assessment and comparison of the nutri tional status of rural and urban school

students receiving the midday meal based on weight and height measuremen ts according to age groups and gender in the year 2010. We alsoinvestigated whether the regression coefficients differed in males versus females and in urban versus ru ral students.

Malnutrition is a critical issue affecting national development despite exemplary medical advances and technological progress. Nutrition being acri tical determinant of human health, good health becomes all the more elus ive in the p resence of malnutrition. It is defined as a pathological stateresult ing from a relat ive or absolute deficiency or excess o f one or more essential nutrients which can manifest into over nutrition or under

nutrition. Effect of malnutrition on human health is felt right from the commencement of life in the womb and it is transmitted across thegenerat ions.
