Nutritional Intake Of Children Research Articles

Prediction of Stunting in Toddlers Using Bagging and Random Forest Algorithms

Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive in toddlers. This is caused by lack of nutrition over a long period of time, exposure to repeated infections, and lack of stimulation. This malnutrition condition is influenced by the mother's health during pregnancy, the health status of adolescents, as well as the economy and culture and the environment, such as sanitation and access to health services. To find out predictions of stunting, currently we still use a common method, namely Secondary Data Analysis, namely by conducting surveys and research to collect data regarding stunting. This data includes risk factors related to stunting, such as maternal nutritional status, child nutritional intake, access to health services, sanitation, and other socioeconomic factors. This secondary data analysis can provide an overview of the prevalence of stunting and the contributing factors. To overcome this, the right solution is needed, one solution that can be used is data mining techniques, where data mining can be used to carry out analysis and predictions for the future, and provide useful information for business or health needs. Based on this analysis, this research will use the Bagging method and Random Forest Algorithm to obtain the accuracy level of stunting predictions in toddlers. Bagging or Bootstrap Aggregation is an ensemble method that can improve classification by randomly combining classifications on the training dataset which can reduce variation and avoid overfitting. Random Forest is a powerful algorithm in machine learning that combines decisions from many independent decision trees to improve prediction performance and model stability. By combining the Bagging method and the Random Forest algorithm, it is hoped that it will be able to provide better stunting prediction results in toddlers. This research uses a dataset with a total of 10,001 data records, 7 attributes and 1 attribute class. Based on the test results using the Bagging method and the Random Forest algorithm in this research, the results obtained were class precision yes 91.72%, class recall yes 98.84%, class precision no 93.55%, class recall no 65.28%, and accuracy of 91.98%.

Enhancing children's nutrition: the influence of rural household technology under China's home appliances going to the countryside policy.

This study explores the influence of household technological advancements on children's nutritional intake, specifically within the context of the Chinese government's "Home Appliances Going to the Countryside" (HAGC) initiative. Utilizing data from the China Health and Nutrition Surveys of 2006, 2009, and 2011, we employed a Propensity Score Matching Difference-in-Differences (PSM-DID) framework to ascertain the repercussions of enhanced household technology on the dynamics of children's nutritional consumption patterns. Our analysis reveals that the HAGC-inspired integration of household appliances, including color televisions, washing machines, and refrigerators, has beneficially reshaped the nutritional consumption patterns of children, with a pronounced effect among female children. This finding remains consistent even when employing alternate methodological robustness tests. A deeper examination of the HAGC policy's mechanisms underscores the pivotal roles of parental time allocation, improved food storage capabilities, and augmented information accessibility as significant drivers bolstering children's nutritional intake. These insights bear considerable significance for strategizing interventions aimed at elevating the nutritional wellbeing of children in rural settings, offering valuable input for shaping public health policies tailored for such demographies.

The result emphasized that health education interventions can improve mothers' ability to deal with eating problems in children. Conclusion: Health education using booklets as media, as part of community health nursing care, positively impacts mothers’ ability to care for toddlers with ARFID. Therefore, the sustainability of such intervention should be considered to prevent stunting among children, especially toddlers with ARFID. KEYWORDS eating disorders; health education; mothers’ ability.

Exclusive Breastfeeding Relationship With The Incidence Of Stunting In Toddlers In The Region Work Of Puskesmas Lohbener

Stunting is a failure to thrive in children under two years old due to chronic malnutrition. Stunting occurs due to a lack of nutritional intake in children in the first 1000 days of life, namely since the child is still in the womb until the child is two years old. Exclusive breastfeeding is very influential in the process of development and growth in children because breast milk contains substances that support motor intelligence and development. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of stunting in toddlers in the Lohbener Health Center Work Area. This study uses a descriptive-analytic method with a cross-sectional approach with a retrospective approach. The population of this study was 1258 respondents, sampling using simple random sampling with a total sample of 93 respondents. The research instrument used a checklist sheet and was analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results of this study showed that of the 93 respondents who had children under five years old >24-69 months who were given exclusive breastfeeding 36 (87.8%) were in the normal category, and those who were not exclusively breastfed had stunting 36 (69.2). %) respondents. The results of data analysis showed that P value = 0.000 (? = 0.0121). This study concludes that there is a relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of stunting in toddlers in the Lohbener Health Center Work Area. Suggestions for further researchers by taking samples of the factors that influence the incidence of stunting.

The relationship between family diet consumption, family environment, parent anxiety and nutrition status children during the COVID-19 pandemic: a longitudinal study.

The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the trends of childhood overweight, obesity, and malnutrition, as well as increased psychological stress and family conflicts among family members. It is important to explore the relationship between changes in the family environment during the COVID-19 on child nutrition. This study aims to analyze the nutritional status of Chinese children during the COVID-19 pandemic and its relationship with family diet, family environment, and parental anxiety, in order to provide evidence for further interventions in children's nutritional status. This study included 7,645 primary and secondary school students and their parents from five schools in Chengdu, China. Chi-square tests were used to analyze the categorical variables of children's malnutrition, overweight, obesity, and parental anxiety. T-tests were used to assess changes in the continuous variable of family environment between two rounds of follow-up surveys. Multiple logistic regression analysis was employed to examine the impact of changes in family diet during the COVID-19 pandemic on children's nutritional status. Generalized estimating equations were used to analyze the effects of family environment and parental anxiety on childhood obesity. The prevalence of malnutrition and obesity decreased from 11.64% and 11.60% in wave 1 to 4.96% and 10.50% in wave 2, and the rate of overweight increased from 13.11% in wave 1 to 13.73% in wave 2. Children whose families reduced consumption of staple foods during the COVID-19 were more likely to be frail, and families increased consumption of sugary drinks, take-out or meal delivery services, living in towns, family environmental barriers, and parental anxiety were risk factors for overweight obesity. Mother's education level in middle and high school and low age were protective factors for overweight obesity. The physical environment of the family, the emotions of family members, and children's perceptions of the family's soft environment can influence children's eating behaviors, children's nutritional intake, and malnutrition and obesity in children under public health emergencies, and family-based dietary interventions may be effective. Parents can increase consumption of healthy foods and improve the family environment, which improve their growth.

Parent’s Rational Choices in the Practice of Feeding Stunted Toddlers in Tegal Regency

Stunting is a failure in children’s growth. Stunting indicates that nutritional intake in children is not fulfilled properly. This research aims to describe what kind of rational choices are applied in feeding stunted toddlers by the Parents. The research method used is a phenomenological-type descriptive qualitative. The results of this research discuss the rational choices in feeding practices such as spiritual knowledge that are taught by parents to toddlers before eating, the practice of cooking and feeding the children, the strategies used when children have no interest in eating, and the activities implemented in dealing with stunting. Rational choice has two elements: the role of actors, which are parents, especially mothers, and resources, namely the mothers’ ability to implement feeding practices. Mothers’ practices in feeding stunted toddlers are based on rational considerations so children's nutrition can be adequately fulfilled.

Caste-based Discrimination in Mid-day Meal Scheme: An Empirical Study of Moradabad District

Mid-day meal scheme is one of the largest schemes of its kind, which deals with the nutritional intake of children, student retention, gender equality and socialization values among primary and upper primary schools. It addresses pressing social concerns to make school education accessible to all. One of the major restraints in the effective implementation of the scheme is the caste prejudice against the Dalits, as there has always been an unequal relationship between food and caste hierarchy. To study this, in-depth interviews were taken in the schools of the Moradabad district, Uttar Pradesh, and secondary sources were used. This article analyses how identity-based discrimination is driven and reproduced on the school’s premises with the mid-day meal workers. The findings show that implicit caste biases still exist within the social structures despite various positive affirmations that impact the effective implementation of the mid-day meal scheme. It indicates that sub-categorization discrimination is practised within the ambit of the Scheduled Caste community that could not be revealed from a macro-perspective. Therefore, a discourse is needed regarding caste or identity-based discrimination until a stigma is attached to an individual’s identity.

The Relationship between Exclusive Breastfeeding and Stunting Incidents in Candipuro Village

Stunting is a problem of chronic malnutrition caused by a lack of nutrition for a long time, resulting in growth disorders.

Breastfeeding is thought to affect the incidence of stunting. This study aimed to determine the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of stunting in Candipuro Village. The research design uses qualitative research, namely retrospective or case-control. The sampling technique used in this study is purposive sampling. Analysis of the data used in this study is to use descriptive and bivariate data analysis. The Chi-square data analysis results show a relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of stunting in Candipuro Village (p=0.00). Thus, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of stunting in Candipuro Village. The results of this study provide input for mothers to provide exclusive breastfeeding to infants to avoid stunting.

Nutritional knowledge of mothers, children’s food consumption, and stunting prevalence: a study of indigenous community in Kasepuhan of Ciptagelar and Sinar Resmi, West Java, Indonesia

Background: The indigenous community of Kasepuhan of Ciptagelar lives in villages that still hold the local traditions firmly. In contrast, the indigenous community of Kasepuhan of Sinar Resmi geographically live in more open villages, so they can easily interact with people from other villages. Culture contributes social values to food consumption and nutritional status. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on the two indigenous communities from January 2015 until June 2016. The study involved selecting samples using stratified random sampling. The total sample was as many as 200 households. Results: The study found that 70.3% of mothers in Kasepuhan of Ciptagelar and 48.6% in Kasepuhan of Sinar Resmi have low nutritional knowledge (score <60). The households living in both Kasepuhans had high dietary consumption diversity. However, a household in Ciptagelar had a higher dietary diversity score (6.4±1.4) than in Sinar Resmi (5.7±2.0) (p=0.032). The foods taboo for pregnant mothers were meatballs, Reundeu leaves, durian, pineapple, and Ambon banana. The foods taboo for children under five were meat, chicken feet, chicken tail, chicken liver, chicken gizzard, and seafish. The stunting prevalence of children in Ciptagelar was 44.3%, while Sukaresmi was 22.9%. Conclusions: Based on those findings, the mother’s nutritional knowledge in Kasepuhan of Sinar Resmi was better than in Kasepuhan of Ciptagelar. The diversity of household food consumption in Kasepuhan of Ciptagelar was higher. However, there was a possibility that the nutritional intake of children in Kasepuhan of Ciptagelar was lower. Consequently, the stunting prevalence was higher in Kasepuhan of Ciptagelar than in the Kasepuhan of Sinar Resmi.

Complications and outcomes of gastrostomy versus nasogastric tube feeding in paediatric allogeneic bone marrow transplant: A prospective cohort study

The intensive conditioning regimens administered during bone marrow transplant (BMT) frequently cause mucositis, gastrointestinal toxicity and reduced oral intake. Children are consequently at risk of malnutrition. First-line nutrition support is recommended as enteral nutrition (EN). Nasogastric tube (NGT) is the mainstay for administration. Gastrostomies provide an alternative, but there is limited evidence of their efficacy and safety in paediatric BMT. This study aimed to compare enteral tube complications and nutritional and clinical outcomes between children with a gastrostomy versus NGT throughout BMT. A prospective cohort study was conducted at a single centre in the United Kingdom. During pre-admission consultations families were offered choice of a prophylactic gastrostomy or NGT. Children undergoing allogeneic BMT were recruited from April 2021 to April 2022. Data compared between children with either tube included: tube complications, change in weight, body mass index and mid-upper-arm circumference, calorie, protein and fluid intake, timing and use of EN and parenteral nutrition, survival, graft-versus-host disease and length of admission. Following BMT, data were collected weekly for the first six weeks from electronic records, monthly thereafter from 3-day averaged food diaries and clinic assessments, until six months post-BMT. Nineteen children with NGT were compared to 24 with a gastrostomy. Of gastrostomy complications, 94.2% (129/137) were minor, mechanical issues being most common (80/137). Dislodgement comprised 80.2% (109/136) of NGT complications. No significant differences were seen between tubes on nutritional, anthropometric and clinical outcomes. Gastrostomies were popular with families, relatively safe, associated with mostly minor complications and similarly effective as NGTs in supporting children's nutritional intake and status. Where an NGT may not be tolerated, a prophylactic gastrostomy could be considered. Placement of either tube requires balancing their risks, benefits, the child's nutritional status, conditioning, expected duration of EN and family preferences.

Nutritional Intake of Children in Kebon Pala East Jakarta

Background: A mother is the main nutrition provider of an Indonesian family. Their own health profiles and situations may affect their abilities to provide proper nutrition. In this research, we try to find mothers in Kebon Pala profile, and the nutrition taken by their children; Method: This quantitative descriptive study was conducted by using a self-administered questionnaire which has been responded to by 94 mothers in Kebon Pala. This research was conducted from October 2021-April 2022.
