“…In this study, malaria outcome does not relate to low height for age z-scores, an indicator of achieved height and long term nutritional status. These findings concur with longitudinal study findings where it found that stunted children had a lower incidence of clinical malaria episodes than not stunted children (Genton et al, 1999). This findings contradict a longitudinal study in Gambia where stunting at the start of transmission season was associated with increased incidence of malaria (Deen et al, 2002).…”

Malnutrition being one of the major public health problems in developing countries, it is still unacceptably high and progress to reduce it in most regions of the world is low. In Eastern Africa region, stunting and being underweight is estimated at 48 and 36% and are expected to increase over the next decade. There is limited information available on the prevalence of malnutrition in this area. This study determined nutritional status, and examined correlates of stunting among the children. This was a cross-sectional study undertaken among 125 preschoolers in western province, drawn from 37 clusters. For each cluster a total of 10 households were selected using systematic simple random sampling. Data were collected on nutritional status, socioeconomic status, food consumption and current malaria infection status. The prevalence of stunting (Z-scores for height for age [HAZ] <-2), wasting (Z-scores for weight for height [WHZ] < -2) and being underweight (Z-scores for weight for age [WAZ] < -2) was 28.9, 1.7 and 6.6%, respectively. Stunting was associated with poverty (OR=4.29, 95% CI: 1.06-17.36, p= 0.037) and lack of consumption of solid foods that include ripe mangoes, pawpaw and guavas (OR=3.15, 95% CI: 1.11-8.94, p=0.025), fish (OR=4.1, 95% CI: 1.15-14.61, p=0.021) and eggs (OR=4.42, 95% CI: 0.97-20.08, p=0.039). Child growth is a good indicator of nutritional status of both the individual and the community. The study demonstrates a high prevalence of stunting. Given the acute and long term consequences of malnutrition, interventions aimed at reducing child malnutrition in such a population should focus on all children less than 5 years of age.

“…Lors d'une étude plus récente menée en Papouasie Nouvelle-Guinée, un retard de croissance staturo-pondéral a paru diminuer le risque de paludisme à P . falciparum [43] . Ces études ont donc suggéré qu'une sous-nutrition, particulièrement une malnutrition protéino-énergétique, aidait à protéger contre le paludisme.…”

Le paludisme est la principale cause de morbidité et de mortalité chez l’enfant, particulièrement en Afrique sub-saharienne. Malgré des progrès substantiels du traitement du paludisme pédiatrique au moyen de polythérapies basées sur l’artémisinine, de nombreux obstacles s’opposent encore à la mise en œuvre efficace de ces nouvelles options thérapeutiques très efficaces. De même, des moyens efficaces sont disponibles pour la prévention du paludisme chez l’enfant, mais leur extension afin qu’ils influencent nettement la morbidité et la mortalité d’origine palustre a confronté les organismes de santé publique à d’importantes difficultés. Le statut nutritionnel de l’hôte influence l’acquisition et la sévérité potentielle d’un paludisme. Des données substantielles montrent que le paludisme contribue à une altération de la croissance staturo-pondérale chez l’enfant, mais l’impact de la sous-nutrition sur le paludisme est complexe. Des données de plus en plus nombreuses montrent qu’une supplémentation en certains micronutriments peut jouer un rôle capital dans la prévention du paludisme chez les jeunes enfants. Des interventions au moyen de micronutriments tels le zinc ou la vitamine A peuvent contribuer à réduire la charge pathologique due au paludisme, tandis que d’autres, telles une supplémentation en fer, peuvent exacerber cette maladie. Des différences portant sur la conception et la qualité des études, l’intensité de la transmission du paludisme et d’autres caractéristiques des centres d’études compliquent l’interprétation du nombre limité d’études ayant évalué l’influence de micronutriments spécifiques dans le traitement et la prévention du paludisme. Un seul essai a évalué l’administration de zinc à titre d’appoint dans le traitement du paludisme et n’a démontré aucun bénéfice de ce métal dans ce rôle. Le présent article analyse la prise en charge clinique du paludisme chez l’enfant, les interactions entre cette parasitose et le statut nutritionnel et le rôle potentiel d’une supplémentation en micronutriments pour la prévention d’épisodes cliniques de paludisme chez les jeunes enfants, en déterminant plus particulièrement si chacun des suppléments nutritionnels améliore ou aggrave l’évolution de cette maladie.

Abstract:The measurement of total dietary energy is in great triumph on the helm of designing an apt dieting in normal and therapeutic diet. The prevailing procedures in this arena are relatively time consuming, laboratory tests induced and often the misleading data contributors while planning a balanced dieting in nutrition counseling. The dietician is sometimes at bay in the route ahead of perfect dieting to hold up nutritional soundness of the sample at a population in a community. The aim of this current study is making a dot over these ongoing perils exploring a mathematical modeling used in prescribing a confounding free diet. The study can divulge an open secret in measuring total dietary energy to curb the possible health horrors in worldwide nutritional epidemiology. The study finding is the determinant of total dietary energy (DTDE) [equation (16)] can be a splendid biophysical modeling as a dieting tool in human nutrition.
