Back Last update: January 2005 Reduction of child malnutrition among children under five years of age by at least one third, with special attention to children under two years of age The Challenge Good nutrition is the cornerstone for survival, health and development for current and succeeding generations. Well-nourished children perform better in school, grow into healthy adults and in turn give their children a better start in life. Well-nourished women face fewer risks during pregnancy and childbirth, and their children set off on firmer developmental paths, both physically and mentally. Malnutrition is implicated in more than half of all child deaths worldwide. Malnourished children have lowered resistance to infection; they are more likely to die from common childhood ailments like diarrhoeal diseases and respiratory infections, and for those who survive, frequent illness saps their nutritional status, locking them into a vicious cycle of recurring sickness and faltering growth. Their plight is largely invisible: three quarters of the children who die from causes related to malnutrition were only mildly or moderately undernourished, showing no outward sign of their vulnerability. Poverty, low levels of education, and poor access to health services are major contributors to childhood malnutrition, a complex issue that requires tackling on a wide number of fronts.

The Web CNN.com Home Page World U.S. Weather ... Special Reports SERVICES Video E-mail Newsletters CNNtoGO SEARCH Web CNN.com Vegan parents on trial for baby's severe malnutrition By Harriet Ryan Court TV Story Tools (Court TV) Silva Swinton and her husband, Joseph, followed a strict vegan diet in their Queens home. They swore off meat and dairy products and existed on a regiment of vegetables, grains, seeds and nuts. When Silva gave birth to a daughter, Ice, in July 2000, they put the newborn on the same plan. Instead of breast milk or baby formula, Ice Swinton got herbal tea, flax seed oil, fruit juices and a homemade soy drink. The result, authorities say, was a health catastrophe that rises to the level of a crime. At 15 months, the girl weighed only 10 pounds and had no teeth. She could not sit up or talk and had a swollen abdomen. Doctors diagnosed her with severe malnutrition and rickets, and the Queens district attorney said it was one of the worst cases of neglect he'd seen. Her parents are now on trial in Queens Supreme Court on first-degree assault charges that could land them each in jail for 25 years. The Swintons, both 32, maintain they are loving parents who doted on Ice and thought the diet was best for her and her little brother, Ini, who was born after the couple's arrest. Both children are in foster care. In his opening statement last Tuesday, Silva Swinton's attorney, Christopher Shella, told the jury of nine women and three men, "At the end of the trial, you'll find that the choices they made were not criminal, but human."

Malnutrition From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Malnutrition is a general term for the medical condition in a person or animal caused by an unbalanced diet—either too little or too much food, or a diet missing one or more important nutrients Most commonly, malnourished people or animals either do not have enough calories in their diet , or are eating a diet that lacks protein vitamins , or trace minerals . Medical problems arising from malnutrition are commonly referred to as deficiency diseases Scurvy is a well-known and now rare form of malnutrition, in which the victim lacks vitamin C Common forms of malnutrition include protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) and micronutrient malnutrition. PEM refers to inadequate availability or absorption of energy and proteins in the body. Micronutrient malnutrition refers to inadequate availability of some essential nutrients such as vitamins and trace elements that are required by the body in small quantities. Micronutrient deficiencies lead to a variety of diseases and impair normal functioning of the body. Deficiency in micronutrients such as Vitamin A reduces the capacity of the body to resist diseases. Deficiency in iron iodine and vitamin A is widely prevalent and represent major a public health challenge.

In a pediatric hospital in Nampo City, southwest of the capital Pyongyang, emaciated children, ill with diarrhea or malnourished, lie listless in beds with their mothers, some fastened with drips to give them basic sustenance. "The drips were very crude, almost like water bottles with plastic tubing coming out," says Catherine Bertini, WFP executive director. "We saw other children who had marks on their faces from various stages of malnutrition. These children were in very bad shape." It's a near replay of chilling pictures from past years of dying children, their stomachs bloated, arms hanging like twigs and eyes staring vacant.

Founded in 1989, the goal of NSI is to promote the integration of nutrition screening and intervention into health care for older adults. NSI considers all aspects of health care for older adults as an opportunity to enhance cost-effective nutrition care. To this end, NSI formed alliances with professionals in nutrition, dentistry, pharmacology, mental health, managed care, home care, and community social services. NSI uses a multi-faceted strategy that includes research, professional education, consumer outreach, and policy. The Nutrition Screening Initiative is funded in part by a grant from Ross Products Division of Abbott Laboratories, Inc. About NSI Learn more about the Nutrition Screening Initiative (NSI).

Main Search Index Definition Description Causes ... Resources Malnutrition Definition Malnutrition is the condition that develops when the body does not get the right amount of the vitamins minerals , and other nutrients it needs to maintain healthy tissues and organ function. Description Undernutrition Malnutrition occurs in people who are either undernourished or over-nourished. Undernutrition is a consequence of consuming too few essential nutrients or using or excreting them more rapidly than they can be replaced. Infants, young children, and teenagers need additional nutrients. So do women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Nutrient loss can be accelerated by diarrhea , excessive sweating, heavy bleeding (hemorrhage), or kidney failure. Nutrient intake can be restricted by age-related illnesses and conditions, excessive dieting, severe injury, serious illness, a lengthy hospitalization, or substance abuse. The leading cause of death in children in developing countries is protein-energy malnutrition. This type of malnutrition is the result of inadequate intake of calories from proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Children who are already undernourished can suffer from protein-energy malnutrition when rapid growth, infection, or disease increases the need for protein and essential minerals. Overnutrition In the United States, nutritional deficiencies have generally been replaced by dietary imbalances or excesses associated with many of the leading causes of

Malnutrition What is malnutrition? Malnutrition is a nutritional disorder resulting from not having enough food, or enough of the right food, for a long time. Everyone needs good food to be healthy. Refugees and displaced people are particularly vulnerable to malnutrition because they are forced to flee on short notice and do not have enough time to bring much food with them. Sometimes they must travel for days or weeks with little or no access to food. Who is most at risk of malnutrition? Children under 5 years of age are most at risk because they are growing rapidly and have a hard time fighting off disease. Malnutrition can have long-term effects by stunting growth or causing mental retardation. It is a key factor in the deaths of six million children each year. How about adults? Pregnant and nursing mothers are the most vulnerable because they need more calories and nutrients than other adults. Because they are usually isolated and have a harder time accessing food, the elderly are also at high risk. Malnourished adults are more susceptible to serious diseases like tuberculosis because their bodies are weakened.

Malnutrition Kills Millions 1 Liberia 1996, Roger Job 2 Southern Sudan 1998, Remco Bohle 3 Liberia 1996, Roger Job 1 Children who are severely malnourished are sent to a therapeutic, or intensive-care, feeding center. Here they are weighed and measured to get a more accurate idea of their condition. They then receive up to eight meals of specially prepared food around the clock for several weeks until they have gained enough weight to be released from the feeding center. 2 When large groups of children are discovered to be malnourished, aid workers use a "MUAC" (Middle-Upper-Arm Circumference) bracelet to quickly assess the nutritional status of all the children in a group. The measurement on the MUAC lets the aid worker know how malnourished the child is, and what to do next. In Sudan in 1998, thousands of starving children were screened using the MUAC. 3 Children who are moderately malnourished receive an extra supply of highly nutritious food to bring home from a supplementary feeding center. Malnutrition is the world's biggest killer of children, contributing to six million deaths a year. It can kill outright, or leave its victims especially vulnerable to other deadly diseases, like measles and acute respiratory infections, or mental or physical disability. You may have arrived at the refugee camp malnourished because war has interrupted farming and commerce in your home area.
