Does zinc deficiency play a role in stunting among primary school children in NE Thailand?

Abstract: Stunting in school-age years may result in a decrease in adult size, and thus reduced work capacity and adverse reproductive outcomes. We have compared the mean intakes of energy, protein and selected growth-limiting nutrients in fifty-eight stunted children and 172 non-stunted controls drawn from 567 children aged 6 -13 years attending ten rural schools in NE Thailand. Control children were selected randomly after stratifying children by age in each school. Dietary data were calculated from 24-h recalls using… Show more

“…However, in girls they found no differences. 11 Dehghani et al showed signifcantly different result that zinc serum level significantly not related to body height nor body weight. 16 In our study, the short stature group had a significantly greater percentage of subjects with low serum zinc levels compared to the normal stature group.…”

“…[5][6][7][8][9] Nutritional factors that cause stunting include low intake of energy, protein, and micronutrients such as iron, vitamin A, and zinc. 10,11 Zinc deficiency may lead to anorexia, which has implications for DNA and RNA synthesis for replication and differentiation of chondrocytes and osteoblasts, declining immune system. 12 Gibson et al found a significant difference in serum zinc in boys with short stature compared to those with normal stature.…”

“…(9) On the other hand, the study of Taufiqurrahman (10) showed that zinc was not a risk factor for stunting incidence in the underfives in the province of West Nusa Tenggara (Nusa Tenggara Barat, NTB). The study by Gibson (11) on children 6-12 years of age reported a significant difference between serum zinc concentration of male children of short stature and that of male children of normal stature, but no difference in female children. The study by Mozaffari-Koshravi (12) showed that zinc supplementation only affected the height of male children aged 2-5 years .…”

“…Terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan asupan zink pada balita stunting dan non stunting dengan nilai p yaitu 0,003. Ini sejalan dengan penelitian di Thailand dimana terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara asupan zink yang kurang dengan kejadian stunting 21 . Jika tubuh mengalami defisiensi zink, maka akan terjadi gangguan pada reseptor GH, sehingga resisten terhadap produksi GH, lalu berkurangnya sintesis Liver Insulin Growth Factor (IGF-1) dan protein yang membawanya (binding protein) yaitu IGFBP-3 22 .…”
