First stage ANTHROPOMETRIC EVALUATION

Evaluate the nutritional status of preschool children by anthropometry, anemia dismiss, parasite infection and tuberculosis dismiss.

ANTHROPOMETRIC RESULTS

PRE SCHOOL (2-5 years) SCHOOL (>5 years)

Adequate 39% Adequate 50%

Adequate risk* 42% Overweight 25%

Overweight 5% Obese 8%

Obese 7% Thinness risk 8%

Malnutrition (short stature)

2% Thinness 8%

Risk of: short stature, overweight and malnutrition

Adequate distribution of weight for height (W/H)we have a greater concentration of appropriate children (88.64%, between +-2 PZ) and it is showed a greater tendency to overweight/obesity (11,37%, >+2PZ ) than tomalnutrition (0%, <-2PZ) compared WHO standards.

PRE SCHOOL

Distribution of height for age is clear that this child population has a tendency to low normal size (65.81%, median and -1PZ) and short stature risk (25%, -1 and -2PZ), coexisting chronic malnutricion in 9% (>-2PZ).

SCHOOL

Height for age distributionClear trend towards low normal height, including one case of severe short height.

Height for age by sexBoys have low normal height (-1DS), compared to girls who have far better growth of +1DS.

RESULTS BY BIOCHEMICAL TESTS

• Anemia 10,7% (n=6)• Anemia risk 21,4% (n=12)• PPD + (contact of TBC) 5,3% (n=3)• Parasite infection 16% (n=9)

• The parents received results of their children together with nutritional counseling and the medical prescriptions

for the pharmacological treatment.
