    Extractions: 26 November 2004 Use this version to print Send this link by email Email the author A study conducted by the Fafo Institute for Applied Social Science, a Norwegian research group, found that acute malnutrition among Iraqi children between the ages of six months and five years has increased from 4 percent to 7.7 percent since the US-led invasion in March last year. Approximately 400,000 Iraqi children now suffer from malnutrition. Affected children usually have stunted physical growth, as well as irreparably retarded mental development. The condition also leaves children vulnerable to other diseases and infections, including pneumonia and gastroenteritis. The condition of Iraqi children stands as another indictment of the US occupation. The war, compounding the devastating effects of the first Gulf War and the subsequent sanctions regime, has devastated what was once a comparatively advanced society and economy. As the

The study, carried out by Johns Hopkins University and the humanitarian group CARE, found that the Gaza Strip was particularly hard hit, with 13 percent of children suffering from acute malnutrition, putting it on the same level as Nigeria, Somalia and Bangladesh. A market survey also showed shortages of protein-rich foods, such as fish and chicken, among retailers. About half of retailers and wholesalers surveyed said they had shortages of infant formula. About half of the 1,000 households surveyed in June said they had to borrow money to buy food. Some 70 percent of Palestinians are now living on $2 a day.

    Extractions: By Janelle Brown When President Bush asked kids across America to each donate a dollar for the impoverished children of Afghanistan last week, it was a sweet if mildly propagandistic gesture. It also was a reiteration of a message that has accompanied his most aggressive promises to bomb the Taliban into submission: Our war is not with the Afghan people; in fact, we want to help alleviate their suffering. And to prove the U.S. government's commitment to civilians caught in the violence, Bush has earmarked $320 million in aid for the people of Afghanistan, and dropped in nearly 275,000 meals to the country. "The evildoers have struck our nation, but out of evil comes good," Bush told military personnel in a speech at Travis Air Force Base on Wednesday. "We are a good, kindhearted, decent people, and we're showing the world just that in our compassion and our resolve."

    Extractions: E-Mail: hrs2@cornell.edu SEATTLE If today's global statistics of more than 3 billion malnourished people are worrisome, try projecting 50 years into the future, when Earth's population could exceed 12 billion and there could be even less water and land, per capita, to grow food. The current level of malnutrition among nearly half the world's population of 6.3 billion is unprecedented in human history, says agricultural ecologist David Pimentel of Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y. "Every trend from decreasing per-capita availability of food and cropland to population growth shows the predicament becoming even more dire," Pimentel says. "In the next 50 years, the degree of malnutrition, resultant disease and human misery is unimaginable. But we have to try to consider the future while there is still time to make meaningful changes, to reverse these trends and ensure a sustainable food supply." Pimentel's views were presented by his colleague, Paul Reitan of the University at Buffalo, today (Feb. 13) at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in Seattle. The title of the talk was "The Importance of Soil in Sustaining Civilization."

    Extractions: By Jean Nelson-Erichson and Heino R. Erichson Many adopted children have phenomenal appetites and will eat whatever is presented to them. Some children will not know when to stop eating. They may gain weight initially, although their weight will level off as catch-up growth ensues and they begin growing taller. Serve them well balanced meals and snacks. A daily multi-vitamin tablet is also helpful. If the child shows no acceleration in growth, an underlying illness such as tuberculosis may be suspected. U.S. pediatricians use the National Center for Health Statistics growth chart, which is also used by the World Health Organization. This chart indicates population standards divided into the fifth, tenth, twenty-fifth, fiftieth, seventy-fifth, ninetieth, and ninety-fifth percentiles. Ninety percent of the population should be covered by these charts. By plotting the child's growth, the doctor knows what percentile is normal for this child and can also see if the child's growth has slowed. In normal growth, the child's measurements follow along one of the percentile lines on the chart. If growth slows, the measurements cross percentile lines. The doctor can see if the child has recovered by plotting his or her return to normal. This system depends on taking repeated measurements in order to establish the normal patterns of growth.

Primary malnutrition is caused by the lack of essential foodstuffs—usually vitamins, minerals, or proteins—in the diet. In some areas of the world a poor economy or such regional conditions as drought or overpopulation cause a scarcity of certain foodstuffs, and a certain portion of the population is malnourished because essential nutrients are not available. However, even when food is plentiful, malnutrition can result from poor eating habits. Secondary malnutrition is caused by failure of absorption or utilization of nutrients (as in disease of the gastrointestinal tract, thyroid, kidney, liver, or pancreas), by increased nutritional requirements (growth, injuries, burns, surgical procedures, pregnancy, lactation, fever), or by excessive excretion (diarrhea). Health malnutrition Inadequate nutrition caused by the lack of a balanced diet or by disorders of the digestive system in which the nutrients from food cannot be absorbed properly.

    Extractions: The following Executive Summary is taken from the World Bank publication Enriching Lives: Overcoming Vitamin and Mineral Malnutrition in Developing Countries Publication information and ordering instructions are available. The control of vitamin and mineral deficiencies is one of the most extraordinary development-related scientific advances of recent years. Probably no other technology available today offers as large an opportunity to improve lives and accelerate development at such low cost and in such a short time. Dietary deficiencies of vitamins and minerals—life-sustaining nutrients needed only in small quantities (hence, "micronutrients")—cause learning disabilities, mental retardation, poor health, low work capacity, blindness, and premature death. The result is a devastating public health problem: about 1 billion people, almost all in developing countries, are suffering the effects of these dietary deficiencies, and another billion are at risk of falling prey to them. To grasp the enormous implications at the country level, consider a country of 50 million people with the levels of micronutrient deficiencies that exist today in South Asia. Such a country would suffer the following losses each year because of these deficiencies:

    Extractions: Advertisement document.write(''); Home About Donate/Volunteer Contact ... Daily Schizophrenia-related news, commentary and links to additional information. Main filed under People born during a famine in China have an increased risk of schizophrenia, consistent with previous research suggesting a link between fetal nutritional deficiency and schizophrenia, according to a study in the August 3 issue of JAMA, a theme issue on violence and human rights. Schizophrenia is a common form of severe mental illness characterized by thought disorder, hallucinations, and delusions, as well a as deterioration of social functioning and social withdrawal, according to background information in the article. It is distributed worldwide with a lifetime risk of approximately 1 percent. Schizophrenia is increasingly viewed as a neurodevelopmental disorder with environmental influences during early brain development modifying risk of schizophrenia. These influences, none of which are yet firmly established, include fetal nutritional deficiency. A previous study found that there was twice the risk of schizophrenia among children conceived during a food shortage in Holland in 1944-1945. However, the number of cases in this study was small, and the findings were only modestly statistically significant. David St. Clair, M.D., Ph.D., of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China, and colleagues conducted a study to test the hypothesis that prenatal exposure to famine would increase the rate of schizophrenia in adult life by examining people who lived through a massive famine in China from 1959-1961. The risk of schizophrenia was examined in the Wuhu region of Anhui, one of the most affected provinces. Rates were compared among those born before, during, and after the famine years. All psychiatric case records for the years 1971 through 2001 were examined, and clinical and sociodemographic information on patients with schizophrenia was extracted by researchers.

    Extractions: CHAPTER V Malnutrition and Deficiency Diseases John B. Youmans, M. D. Only under extreme conditions, mostly in prisoners of war subjected to the neglect and cruelties of their captors, and in sporadic instances of individuals conditioned by injury, disease, or some personal peculiarity, did those terrible spectres of other wars—scurvy, dropsy, pellagra, beriberi, and xerophthalmia—return. Such was the achievement of preventive medicine. To refer, as will be done below, to the occurrence of an appreciable amount of nutritional deficiency is not the contradiction that it seems. It is to be explained by the changing concept of nutritional deficiency states, the recognition of the fact that there are degrees of deficiency, insufficient to warrant such diagnoses as scurvy, pellagra, or beriberi which require a considerable period for development even under controlled conditions. Partial deficiency may exist to an extent sufficient to prevent the fullest state of health, physical strength, and fitness, without causing overt or gross disability. Such conditions existed in the general population before the war and their presence was reflected in a similar occurrence in the troops under average conditions, although as their service lengthened it was decreased by the highly efficient control of food and nutrition in the Army. It is in this respect that preventive medicine finds its greatest opportunity in the field of nutritional deficiency disease and the opportunity to ensure optimal health and physical fitness as far as nutrition can secure them, by preventing even slight deficiencies.

     Extractions: Kees Tuinenburg, WFP Kinshasa representative The WFP said the ongoing war in the country had displaced millions of people, and cut many off from reliable sources of food. The agency's representative Kees Tuinenburg said that because of the problem, "stepped-up relief in the country is crucial. "If we don't get more food in now, there is a danger that malnutrition could spiral out of control." Entrenched positions Relief efforts have been hampered by an escalation in fighting, with WFP supplies failing to get through to the civilian population. The WFP admits that accurate statistics are difficult to gather, but the organisation estimates that 21% of the population of the eastern province of North-Kivu are suffering from severe malnutrition. The conflict in DR Congo - described as Africa's 'world war' - began in 1998, and has drawn in many of the neighbouring and nearby countries.
