UNASSIGNED: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among (N = 1461, 683 males and 779 females) 13 PVTGs spread across 12 districts of Odisha from August 2018 to February 2019.
UNASSIGNED: Among the under-five children, the prevalence of underweight was observed in 75.26%, stunting in 55.42%, and wasting in 60.00% and all forms of undernutrition were higher among girls. Among children and adolescents belonging to the age group of 5 to 19 years, the prevalence of thinness was 46.7%. In individuals above the age of 20, the prevalence of underweight among males was 37.7% and females was 44.3% and severe anemia was present in 36.5% of females and 35.8% of males. Women in the reproductive age have a higher prevalence of anemia.
UNASSIGNED: The study shows that undernutrition and anemia remain high in the PVTGs, especially among the under-five children and women in the reproductive age. As the country heads toward fulfilling Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) by 2030, national and state health policies need to be designed and implemented, giving special focus to these vulnerable groups.
从2018年8月至2019年2月,对分布在奥里萨邦12个地区的13个PVTG(N=1461,683名男性和779名女性)进行了一项基于社区的横断面研究。
■在五岁以下儿童中,体重不足的患病率为75.26%,发育迟缓占55.42%,在女孩中,消瘦占60.00%,所有形式的营养不良都较高。在5至19岁年龄段的儿童和青少年中,瘦身的患病率为46.7%。在20岁以上的个体中,男性体重不足的患病率为37.7%,女性为44.3%,女性为36.5%,男性为35.8%。育龄妇女贫血患病率较高。
■研究表明,PVTG中的营养不良和贫血仍然很高,尤其是五岁以下儿童和育龄妇女。随着该国朝着到2030年实现可持续发展目标(SDG)的方向前进,需要设计和实施国家和州的卫生政策。特别关注这些弱势群体。
