Assessment of sex-specific differences of anthropometric parameters as indicator of growth and nutritional status in preschool children from Macedonia.The study included a total of 200 healthy preschool children from Macedonian nationality. Thirthteen anthropometric parameters were measured, defining longitudinal, circular and transversal dimensionality of the skeleton using standard technique and instruments for measurement. The following indices were selected and calculated: weight-for -age; height-for-age and BMI. Skin -folds (triceps, scapula, thigh) were also measured. Qualitative examinations were with self-organizing maps.Sex-specific differences for almost all anthropometric parameters were detected, but they were not significant. Girls showed higher values than boys regarding height and weight, but there were no significant differences concerning BMI. Values at the 50 th percentile in girls were 20 kg for BW, 108.1 cm for BH and 16.82 kg/m² for BMI. The values of these parameters in boys were 19.75 kg for BW, 108.25 cm for BH and 16.24 for kg/m² for BMI. The values for triceps skin-fold were higher in boys than (13.0 ±3.0) than in girls (12.5 ±3.6).The results obtained can be used as criteria for assessment and detecting deviations in growth and nutritional status in preschool children.

“…Interest in the role that primary caregivers play in child food preferences, nutrition, and weight status has increased in recent years specifically due to the increase of childhood obesity and related conditions. Being overweight affects the social life, physiological state, and psychological health of the child in the long term (Cirak, 2018). Nutrition-related health problems associated with obesity and overweight such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, sleep apnea, asthma, and non-alcoholic liver fatigue used to occur only in adults.…”

Background: Current research shows that across the world people are eating poorly. This is leading to increased incidences of nutrition-related health problems. Aim: This paper aims to provide a synthesis of research on the nutritional feeding programs and nutritional models used by primary caregivers in Africa, in order to identify best practice models, programs, and processes from the field of nutritional and feeding intervention development. Methods: The research used a narrative review methodology. The Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework was used to disseminate results to allow for cross-comparison of core components inherent in health promotion interventions. We chose the RE-AIM framework as it facilitates the development, delivery, and evaluation of health interventions. Results: After screening a total of 8220 articles, four studies were deemed relevant for the purposes of this review. The selected studies were the only ones that discussed nutrition interventions or programs with a very clear aim and purpose, even though they did not include any information on implementation, review or evaluation of these interventions/program. No studies focusing on the African context were deemed relevant as none of them focused on best practice models for nutrition education interventions or programs. Conclusions: Of a review of over 8220 articles, four studies were found that discuss nutritional feeding programs and nutritional models used by primary caregivers. Of these four, only one focused on enablers, barriers, and resources, all of which are essential for engaging in health behavior change. And only one focused on sustainability of the interventions.
