Let’s Use This Mess to Our Advantage”
School nutrition programs mitigate food insecurity and promote healthy eating by offering consistent, nutritious meals to school-aged children in communities across the United States; however, stringent policy guidelines and contextual challenges often limit participation. During COVID-19 school closures, most school nutrition programs remained operational, adapting quickly and innovating to maximize reach. This study describes semi-structured in…
Study on Breakfast Consumption Pattern and Its Outcomes in Relation to Hematological and Body Composition Indices among Adolescent Girls
Breakfast consumption is of utmost importance for adolescents to attain nutritional adequacy. The association of breakfast skipping with overall nutritional status has been supported with little causal evidences. Therefore, the present investigation was undertaken to examine this conjecture. A total of 500 adolescent girls from rural and urban government schools of Ludhiana District in the Punjab State of India in the age group of 16-18 years wer…
Nutritional Profiles of Urban and Rural Men of Punjab with Regard to Dietary Fat Intake
This study was undertaken to determine the quantity and type of fat consumed by urban and rural men in relation to BMI. Researchers surveyed 200 Punjabi men from rural and urban areas of Ludhiana District; total fat intake (74 g/day) by urban men was significantly more than that of men in rural areas. The energy percentage from total fat was positively and significantly (p ≤ .05) associated with BMI, accounting for 3.1%, 4.2%, and 2.9% of variati…
Anthropometric Profile of Rural Preschool Children Belonging to Different Agroclimatic Regions of Punjab
The anthropometric measurements of 150 rural preschool children (1-3 years) belonging to different agro-climatic regions of Punjab i.e. sub-mountain (RI), central plains (RII) and southern western (RIII) were analyzed. The inter-regional analysis showed that boys and girls of RII in the age group of 1.0-1.5 years were significantly (p≤0.01) shorter and lighter than their counterparts of RI and RII. The mean height of rural preschool children belo…
Efficacy of Nutraceuticals in Ameliorating the Risk of Coronary Heart Disease
Thirty five postmenopausal subjects who were at risk of coronary heart disease were selected. Background information, blood and lipid profile analysis, blood pressure, anthropometric measurements and dietary pattern of subjects was recorded. Nutrition knowledge was also assessed by applying KAP test. In addition to their normal diet, the subjects were advised to include nutraceuticals for a period of 4 months. They were also imparted nutrition ed…
An Analysis of Food and Nutrient Intake of Rural Preschool Children in Punjab
A sample of 150 preschool children spreading over 24 villages, 12 blocks, 6 districts and 3 agro-climatic regions i.e. sub-mountain (RI), central plains (RII) and south-western (RIII) were selected. The food and nutrient intake of the subjects were compared with their respective SDI (ICMR, 1984) and RDA (ICMR, 2000). The diet of rural preschool children was found to be imbalanced with plenty intake of milk and milk products and low intake of cere…
Nutritional Profile of Urban Preschool Children of Punjab
The nutritional status of 524 preschool children (1-6 years) from middle socio-economic background was evaluated with the help of dietary survey and anthropometric measurements. The consumption of cereals, pulses and green leafy vegetables was grossly inadequate, whereas the intake of income elastic foods like milk and milk products, fats and oils and sugar and jaggery was higher than suggested intake. The intake of energy by both the groups (1-3…
Nutrient adequacy of rural adult males in Ludhiana District of Punjab
A total of 315 rural adult males belonging to four villages of Ludhiana District of the Punjab State were surveyed for their nutrient adequacy using 24 h recall method for two consecutive days during summer and winter. The individuals belonged to very low, low, medium and high income groups. The average weights of the individuals were 62.5, 63.6, 68.8 and 72.4 kg, respectively for these income groups. Cereals contributed 51.1 to 70.8% of total en…
