■学校供餐计划如果执行得当,有能力改善学童的营养状况。
■评估尼日利亚翁多州学童的营养状况,因为国家家庭学校供餐计划(NHGSFP)已在该州实施了五年以上。
■这是一项描述性横断面研究。
■共有234名来自公立学校的科目和227名来自私立学校的科目参加了这项研究。他们的平均年龄为8.23±1.92岁。浪费,超重,肥胖,体重不足,发育迟缓的发生率为19.4%,11.4%,0.4%,5.0%,和20.7%的孩子,分别。在公立学校的科目中,发育迟缓(30.3%)和消瘦(23.9%)的患病率更高。发现体重年龄Z评分之间存在显着关联,身高年龄Z分,和BMI-年龄Z-评分和儿童的学校类型(p<0.005)。
■大多数儿童表现出正常生长,其余的人都处于营养不良的两个极端,私立学校的科目似乎有更好的营养状况,尽管没有基线数据来批准这一发现。建议使用当前发现作为基线数据对该主题进行进一步研究。
UNASSIGNED: The School Feeding Programme if properly executed has the capacity to improve the nutritional status of the school children.
UNASSIGNED: To assess the nutritional status of school children in Ondo State Nigeria given that the National Home-Grown School Feeding Programme (NHGSFP) has been operational in the state for over five years.
UNASSIGNED: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 234 subjects from public schools and 227 subjects from private schools were enrolled in the study. Their mean age was 8.23 ± 1.92 years. Wasting, overweight, obesity, underweight, and stunting were noted in 19.4%, 11.4%, 0.4%, 5.0%, and 20.7% of the children, respectively. The prevalence of stunting (30.3%) and wasting (23.9%) was more among subjects from the public schools. A significant association was found between Weight-for-Age Z-score, Height-for-Age Z-score, and BMI-for-Age Z-score and the children\'s school type (p < 0.005).
UNASSIGNED: Majority of the children showed normal growth, the rest were in both extremes of malnutrition, the subjects from private schools seem to present better nutritional status, although there is no baseline data to ratify this finding. A further study on this subject using the current finding as a baseline data is recommended.
