Nutritional status assesment

This document discusses methods for assessing nutritional status and conducting nutritional surveillance. It outlines direct methods like anthropometric measurements, biochemical/laboratory tests, clinical assessments, and dietary evaluations. Indirect methods include ecological and economic factors. Anthropometric measurements for children include height, weight, head/chest/mid-upper arm circumferences. Biochemical tests provide precise data but are time-consuming and expensive. Clinical assessments are fast but don't detect early cases. Nutritional surveillance aims to aid long-term planning, program management/evaluation, and prevent food crises.

- 2. PURPOSE яВ┤ IDENTIFY POPULATION AT RISK OF MALNUTRITION яВ┤ IDENTIFY POPULATION WITH MALNUTRITION яВ┤ DEVELOP HEALTH CARE PROGRAMMES яВ┤ MEASURE EFFECTIVENESS
- 3. METHODS DIRECT METHODS(A.B.C.D) яВ┤ ANTHROPOMETRIC яВ┤ BIOCHEMICAL,LAB яВ┤ CLINICAL яВ┤ DIETARY EVALUATION
- 4. INDIRECT METHOD яВ┤ ECOLOGICAL VARIABLES яВ┤ ECONOMIC FACTORS
- 5. ANTHROPOMETRY яВ┤ FOR CHILDREN яВ┤ HEIGHT яВ┤ WEIGHT яВ┤ HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE яВ┤ CHEST CIRCUMFERENCE яВ┤ MID UPPER ARM CIRCUMFERENCE(MUAC) яВ┤ WAIST CIRCUMFERENCE яВ┤ HIP CIRCUMFERENCE
- 6. ADVANTAGES яВ┤ HIGH SPECIFICITY AND SENSITIVITY яВ┤ MEASURES MANY VARIABLES яВ┤ READINGS ARE NUMERICAL(GROWTH CHARTS) яВ┤ READINGS ARE REPRODUCABLE яВ┤ INEXPENSIVE
- 7. LIMITATIONS яВ┤ INTERO OBSERVATIONAL ERROR яВ┤ LIMITED NUTRITIONAL DIAGNOSIS яВ┤ PROBLEMS WITH REFERENCE AND STANDARDS
- 8. BIOCHEMICAL ,LABORATORY METHODS яВ┤ STOOL EXAMINATION яВ┤ URINE EXAMINATION яВ┤ INDIVIDUAL NUTRIENT EXAMINATION(VIT D,SERUM IRON ETC.) яВ┤ ANALYSIS OF HAIR
- 9. ADVANTAGES яВ┤ USEFUL IN EARLY STAGES яВ┤ PRECISE,ACCURATE,AND REPRODUCIBLE яВ┤ VALIDATE DATA FROM DIETARY METHODS
- 10. LIMITATIONS яВ┤ TIME CONSUMING яВ┤ EXPENSIVE яВ┤ LARGE SCALE NOT POSSIBLE яВ┤ NEED TRAINED PERSONNEL
- 11. CLINICAL ASSESSMENT яВ┤ NUTRITIONAL HISTORY яВ┤ GENERAL EXAMINATION яВ┤ DETECTION OF SIGNS FROM DEVIATION
- 12. ADVANTAGES яВ┤ FAST AND EASY яВ┤ INEXPENSIVE яВ┤ NON INVASIVE LIMITATIONS DID NOT DETECT EARLY CASES
- 13. DIETARY ASSESMENT яВ┤ 24 HOURS DIETARY RECALL яВ┤ FOOD INVENTORY яВ┤ FOOD EXPENDITURE PATTERN METHOD яВ┤ DIET HISTORY яВ┤ WEIGHMENT METHOD
- 14. INDIRECT METHODS яВ┤ VITAL STATISTICS яВ┤ ASSESMENT OF SOCIO ECONOMIC STATUS яВ┤ ECOLOGICAL VARIABLES
- 15. NUTRITIONAL SURVEILLANCE OBJECTIVES 1-TO AID LONG TERM PLANNING IN HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENT 2-TO PROVIDE INPUT FOR PROGRAMME MANAGEMENT AND EVALUATION 3-TO GIVE TIMELY WARNING AND INTERVENTION TO PREVEVNT SHORT TERM FOOD CONSUMPTION CRISIS
