“…The average consumption of milk & milk products of children and adults from the rural survey of NNMB for 1975-1979, 1988-1990, 1996-1997, 2011-2012 shows about 80%-84% of the children and 56%-62% of adult men and women consumed less than 50% of the RDI(Figures 2B, D) (22,23). Similarly, in the NNMB tribal survey 1985-1987, 1998-1999, 2007-2008 shows 85%-97% of children and adults consumed less than 50% of RDI of milk & milk products (Figures 3B, D) (24).…”

Calcium and vitamin D are inseparable nutrients required for bone health. In the past half a century, the dietary calcium intake of rural, tribal, and urban India has declined. Though India is the largest producer of milk and cereals, the major source of calcium in India is through non-dairy products. The highest intake of cereals and lowest intake of milk & milk products was observed in rural and tribal subjects whereas, the intake of cereals, milk & milk products were similar in both urban and metropolitan subjects. One of the reasons for lower calcium intake was the proportion of calcium derived from dairy sources. Over the past half a century, the average 30-day consumption of cereals in the rural and urban population has declined by 30%. The Per Capita Cereal Consumption (PCCC)has declined despite sustained raise in Monthly Per capita Consumption Expenditure (MPCE) in both rural and urban households. The cereal consumption was the highest in the lowest income group, despite spending smaller portion of their income, as cereals were supplied through public distribution system (PDS). About 85% of the Indian population are vitamin D deficient despite abundant sunlight. Dietary calcium deficiency can cause secondary vitamin D deficiency. Though India as a nation is the largest producer of milk, there is profound shortage of calcium intake in the diet with all negative consequences on bone health. There is a decline in dietary calcium in the background of upward revision of RDI/RDA. There is a gap in the production-consumption-supply chain with respect to dietary calcium. To achieve a strong bone health across India, it is imperative to have population based strategies addressing different segments including supplementing dietary/supplemental calcium in ICDS, mid-day-meals scheme, public distribution system, educational strategies. Other measures like mass food fortification, biofortification, bioaddition, leveraging digital technologies, investments from corporate sector are some measures which can address this problem. India is a vast country with diverse social, cultural and dietary habits. No single measure can address this problem and requires a multi-pronged strategic approach to tackle the dietary calcium deficiency to achieve strong bone health while solving the problem of nutritional deficiency.

“…The observations are almost similar to the study conducted by Arlappa et al where majority of the participants were residing in semipucca house (65%) followed by kutcha (19%) and pucca (16%) house. 21 There was a significant association found between housing condition and MNA scoring. The reason could be because, those who reside in kutcha house/no house belonged to low socio economic status and had poor awareness regarding nutrition and dietary intake.…”

Background: Worldwide elderly population is rapidly increasing. This is posing many challenges in elderly population. Malnutrition in them is one of the major problems but ignored component. Socio-economic, demographic and environmental factors are those greatly influence their nutritional status. Hence the present study was undertaken to assess the effect of socio-economic, demographic and environmental factors on nutritional status of elderly.Methods: The present study was a cross-sectional study which included 545 elderly population of Uchagaon subcentre and was carried out over a period of 1½ years. After selecting Uchagaon subcentre by simple random sampling technique and house to house survey was carried out to select eligible elderly participants who met the selection criteria. Data was collected from eligible elderly by using pretested questionnaire and Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) tool.Results: 65.1% were between the age group of 60-69 years. 55% were females, 66% were currently married, 60% had no formal schooling, 67.2% were belongs to socio-economic status of either class IV/V. 23.5% were malnourished and 49% were at risk of malnutrition. There was association found between nutritional status of elderly with increase in age, marital status, educational status, occupation, socio-economic status, type of family and housing condition.Conclusions: In the present study majority of the elderly were at risk of malnutrition. The nutritional status of elderly was associated with increase in age, marital status, educational status, occupation, socio-economic status, type of family and housing condition of rural elderly and subsequently modify those factors to improve the nutritional status of elderly and this can be a scope for further study in future.

“…Hal ini sejalan dengan penelitian di India yang menunjukkan asupan sayuran berdaun pada lansia hanya mencukupi 42,5% dari yang dianjurkan. 30 Kecukupan kelompok padi-padian pada lansia tergolong tinggi karena asupan sudah memenuhi jumlah yang dianjurkan. Hal ini sesuai dengan penelitian di China yang menunjukkan asupan kelompok padi-padian memenuhi jumlah yang dianjurkan.…”

Perbedaan Status Gizi Dan Kualitas Asupan Makanan Pada Lansia Yang Mengikuti Dan Tidak Mengikuti Prolanis

et al. 2019

Latar Belakang: Populasi lansia terus mengalami peningkatan. Peningkatan ini harus diikuti dengan perbaikan fasilitas kesehatan sehingga derajat kesehatan dan kualitas asupan makanan lansia meningkat. Salah satu strategi yang dilaksanakan pemerintah yaitu Program Pengelolaan Penyakit Kronis (Prolanis). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan status gizi dan kualitas asupan makanan pada lansia yang mengikuti dan tidak mengikuti prolanis.Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan studi cross sectional. Subjek merupakan lansia yang mengikuti dan tidak mengikuti prolanis. Data meliputi karakteristik subjek, tingkat pendapatan, status gizi berdasarkan Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT), kualitas asupan makanan menggunakan formulir Diet Quality Index-International (DQI-I), dan aktivitas fisik dengan metode International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Analisis data menggunakan uji independent t-test dan Mann-Whitney.Hasil: Rerata skor kualitas asupan makanan subjek yaitu 48,5±6,7 yang tergolong rendah. Rerata status gizi subjek yaitu 24,5±4,2 kg/m2. Kualitas asupan makanan subjek yang mengikuti prolanis (49,0±7,5) lebih tinggi dibandingkan subjek yang tidak mengikuti prolanis (47,6±6,1). Hasil uji beda menunjukkan terdapat perbedaan pada status gizi antara subjek yang mengikuti dan tidak mengikuti prolanis (p=0,029), tetapi tidak terdapat perbedaan pada kualitas asupan makanan (p=0,538).Simpulan: Ada perbedaan signifikan status gizi berdasarkan keikutsertaan prolanis (p=0,029). Tidak ada perbedaan signifikan kualitas asupan makanan berdasarkan keikutsertaan prolanis (p=0,538).
