Stunted growth affects one in four children under the age of five years and comes with great costs for the child and society. With an increased understanding of the long-term consequences of chronic undernutrition the reduction of stunted growth has become an important priority on the global health agenda. WHO has adopted a resolution to reduce stunting by 40% by the year 2025 and to reduce stunting is one of the targets under the Sustainable Development Goals. The aim of this thesis was to study linear growth trajectories, risk factors and consequences of stunting and recovery of stunting from fetal life to adolescence in a rural Bangladeshi setting and to assess the cost-effectiveness of a prenatal nutrition intervention for under-five survival and stunting.

We selected systematic reviews detailing the effectiveness of health or nutrition interventions that have plausible links to child development and/or contain direct DATA EXTRACTION: measures of cognitive, motor, and psychosocial development. RESULTS: A team of reviewers independently extracted data and assessed their quality. Sixty systematic reviews contained the outcomes of interest. Various interventions reduced morbidity and improved child growth, but few had direct measures of child development. Of particular benefit were food and micronutrient supplementation for mothers to reduce the risk of small for gestational age and iodine deficiency, strategies to reduce iron deficiency anemia in infancy, and early neonatal care (appropriate resuscitation, delayed cord clamping, and Kangaroo Mother Care). Neuroprotective interventions for imminent preterm birth showed the largest effect sizes (antenatal corticosteroids for developmental delay: risk ratio 0.49, 95% confidence interval 0.24 to 1.00; magnesium LIMITATIONS: sulfate for gross motor dysfunction: risk ratio 0.61, 95% confidence interval 0.44 to 0.85).

Cognitive/language development was assessed through the Bayley Scale of Infant and Toddler Development. The quality of educa- tional environments was assessed by Infant/Toddler Environment Scale; the home environment was assessed by the Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment. The neighbor- hood quality was determined by a self-prepared questionnaire. A multivariate linear regression analysis was performed. Results: Families were predominantly from socioeconomic class D, with low parental educa- tion.

    Moving from Mypyramid to Myplate

    Moving from MyPyramid to MyPlate In June 2011, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) released the new MyPlate tool to accompany the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. MyPlate replaces MyPyramid; it illustrates the five food groups in a place setting that visually reminds everyone to make healthful food choices. The U.S.D.A. is rolling out a variety of educational materials to support putting MyPlate into practice. An updated MyPlate Web site will be available in Fall/Winter 2011 with materials for children and schools. Until then, MyPyramid resources will remain available to health professionals and nutrition educators in the “Tips and Resources” section of the MyPlate Web site. While the U.S.D.A. and publishers are working to make new materials available, this packet provides a brief overview of available MyPlate resources and suggestions for adapting nutrition education lessons. This packet includes: Æ An At-A-Glance Comparison of MyPyramid and MyPlate Æ MyPlate Consumer and Educational Materials Æ Tips for Adapting Lessons with MyPlate Æ Additional Resources for MyPlate and Nutrition and Physical Activity Guidance Developed with support from the California Department of Education – Nutrition Services Division.

    Nutrition and Diet

    Nutrition and Diet © 2010 by Intellectual Reserve, Inc. All right reserved United States of America Published by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Salt Lake City, Utah Nutrition and Diet The Word of Wisdom contains the Lord’s outline of the kinds of food that provide good nutrition. Balanced nutrition (1) includes drinking plenty of clean water and regularly eating foods from each of six food groups: grains, vegetables, fruits, milk products, meat and beans, and oils. These foods contain six kinds of nutrients: proteins (2), carbohydrates (3), fats (4), minerals (5), vitamins (6), and water (8). A person should regularly eat or drink enough of all of these nutrients to grow and remain healthy. For infant nutrition (8), mother’s milk itself provides an ideal balance of nutrients, with the gradual introduction of solid foods after four to six months of age. If a variety from all food groups is eaten regularly, it is not usually necessary to take supplements (9). Even carefully chosen vegetarian (10) diets that include dairy products or eggs can be quite sufficient. But if little or no animal products are eaten, then grains must be eaten with legumes (beans, peas, peanuts, and lentils), nuts, and seeds to provide balanced protein. Food and drink must also be clean and free from disease-causing germs (bacteria, viruses, and parasites) to be healthy. Purified water (10) (potable water) is prepared by removing dirt from the water and treating the water to remove or kill germs. In some areas, the government purifies water that is delivered through secured plumbing; this water is safe to use directly from the faucet for food and drink.
  • Allowable Milk Substitution Summary for Nondisabled Children

    Allowable Milk Substitution Summary for Nondisabled Children

    Allowable Milk Substitutions for Nondisabled Children in the U.S. Department of Agriculture School Nutrition Programs Schools participating in the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) school nutrition programs (National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, After-School Snack Program, Seamless Summer and Special Milk Program) must follow the federal requirements for milk substitutions for nondisabled children. These requirements apply to accommodations for children without disabilities who cannot drink milk, i.e., children who do not have a life-threatening food allergy to milk. School districts have the option to make this accommodation and offer one or more allowable fluid milk substitutes for children without disabilities. These substitutions are at the expense of the school district. If the district chooses to make allowable milk substitutions available, they must be available for all students when requested by their parent or guardian. The following criteria apply only to children without disabilities. Dietary accommodations for children with disabilities must continue to follow the USDA requirements specified in the Connecticut State Department of Education’s Accommodating Special Dietary Needs in School Nutrition Programs at http://www.sde.ct.gov/sde/lib/sde/PDF/DEPS/Student/NutritionEd/ AccommodatingSpecialDiets.pdf. ALLOWABLE FLUID MILK SUBSTITUTES School districts can choose to offer one or more allowable fluid milk substitutions. These include low-fat (1%) or less lactose-free or lactose-reduced milk or an allowable nondairy beverage (such as soy milk) that meets the USDA nutrition standards for milk substitutes (see “USDA Nutrition Standards for Milk Substitutes” on page 2). The USDA recommends that lactose-free or lactose-reduced milk is the first choice for a student who has lactose intolerance.
