A nutritional survey was conducted among the 6–59 months of children residing in
Sukumbashi basti, Kankai Municipality. Anthropometrics measurements along with
household surveys were carried to find out the level of malnutrition and information
about the feeding practice. Random sampling with 123 samples was taken for the
study and the data collected were analyzed by using SPSS version 20 and WHO
anthro 3.2.2 version.
The study show that 6.5% were found to be wasted out of which no were found to
be severely wasted. Similarly, 26.8% were found to be stunted out of which 1.6%
were found to severely stunted and 9.7% of the children were found to be
underweight, out of which 0.8% were severely underweight. The factor significantly
associated with stunting (p≤0.05) were exclusive breastfeeding, starting of
complementary feeding, pulses intake with 3-5 times per week and source of drinking
water from river. Similarly, the factor significantly associated with wasting (p≤0.05)
were exclusive breastfeeding, duration of breast feeding, types of complementary
jaulo, and source of drinking water from river and the factor significantly associated
with underweight at (p≤0.05) were exclusive breastfeeding, types of complementary
and pulses intake per week. This indicates that under nutrition is still an important
problem among 6 to 59 months children of Sukumbashi basti, Kankai
municipality, Jhapa. |
