Reducing relapses after acute malnutrition treatment: Evidence from a simplified approach in emergency settings of Mali
Background Acute malnutrition remains a critical public health issue, particularly in emergency settings. While simplified treatment protocols show promise in improving access and cost-effectiveness, evidence on their impact on relapse rates remains limited. This study aimed to compare relapse incidence among children treated for severe acute malnutrition (SAM) using a simplified protocol versus the standard Community Management of Acute Malnutri…
Socioeconomic Risk Factors Associated With Acute Malnutrition Severity Among Under‐Five Children Based on a Machine Learning Approach: The Case of Rural Emergency Contexts in Niger and Mali
Currently, child acute malnutrition continues to be a serious public health problem, and although its most fatal consequences are well known, its associated factors still need to be studied in more depth in different contexts. The objective of the present study is to determine the association between socioeconomic variables and acute malnutrition severity in rural emergency contexts of Niger and Mali. The present study consists of a secondary ana…
Cost-effectiveness of decentralising acute malnutrition treatment with a standard or simplified treatment protocol: An economic evaluation in the region of Gao, Mali
The study protocol was registered under reference ISRCTN-60,973,756 on the 15th of October 2020
Effectiveness of decentralizing outpatient acute malnutrition treatment with community health workers and a simplified combined protocol: A cluster randomized controlled trial in emergency settings of…
Background: Outpatient treatment of acute malnutrition is usually centralized in health centers and separated into different programs according to case severity. This complicates case detection, care delivery, and supply chain management, making it difficult for families to access treatment. This study assessed the impact of treating severe and moderate cases in the same program using a simplified protocol and decentralizing treatment outside hea…
Differences in wasting assessment through Middle‐Upper Arm Circumference ( Muac ) adjusted by sex, age and geographic origin for children aged 6–59 months: New reference based on anthropometric survey…
OBJECTIVES: The Middle Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) bracelet is a widely used instrument in public health assessments and humanitarian assistance projects. The WHO guidelines present a universal cut-off point of 115 mm to determine whether a child has severe acute malnutrition. The objective of this study is to analyze the existing differences in the MUAC for boys and girls aged between 6 and 59 months, from 22 countries distributed in three di…
Atherogenic Risk, Anthropometry, Diet and Physical Activity in a Sample of Spanish Commercial Airline Pilots
Cardiovascular accidents are the most disabling event for pilots, causing complicated situations during flight and the withdrawal of license. The study aims to assess the modifiable risk factors and the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) associated with anthropometric, physiometabolic and lifestyle profiles in a sample of Spanish aviation pilots. Data from pilots' clinical and professional history, anthropometric and bioelectrical impedance assess…
Household food insecurity and nutritional status of schoolchildren in rural regions of Bajo Lampa, El Salvador (2018–2019)
In 2018, a cross-sectional study was conducted in six communities of Tecoluca, Bajo Lempa (El Salvador). Weight, height, sitting-height, skinfolds thickness and head, arm, and waist circumferences were measured in a sample of 334 schoolchildren. Nutritional status, body composition, and Extended Composite Index for Anthropometric Failure (ECIAF) were estimated. The Food Security Perception Survey (Spanish acronym: EPSA) was applied to 143 househo…
Waist circumference percentiles for Hispanic‐American children and comparison with other international references
INTRODUCTION: Waist circumference (WC) constitutes an indirect measurement of central obesity in children and adolescents. OBJECTIVE: To provide percentiles of WC for Hispanic-American children and adolescents, and compare them with other international references. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The sample comprised 13 289 healthy children between 6 and 18 years coming from public schools of middle and low socioeconomic levels in different parts of Argent…
Growth patterns of normo‐nourished Afghan, Haitian and Congolese children aged 6–59 months: A comparative study
Objectives International growth charts have been used in the past decades to identify atypical growth and diagnose the nutritional status of individuals. The aim of this study was to construct and compare growth patterns of normo-nourished children between 6–59 months from Afghanistan, Haiti, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, to assess if it would be worth developing growth charts at a national level. Methods We used an international samp…
Effectiveness and Coverage of Treatment for Severe Acute Malnutrition Delivered by Community Health Workers in the Guidimakha Region, Mauritania
Geographical and economic access barriers to health facilities (HF) have been identified as some of the most important causes of the low coverage of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) treatment. The objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness and coverage of SAM treatment delivered by community health workers (CHWs) in the Guidimakha region in Mauritania, compared to the HF based approach. This study was a nonrandomized controlled trial, …
Historical recollection of anthropometric data from schoolchildren attending summer camps from 1887 to 1934 in Spain: Interpretations and comparison with coetaneous and modern references
OBJECTIVES: Around the aim of gaining knowledge on the secular trends in nutritional status of the Spanish population, we found a collection of historical records compiled by La Institución Libre de Enseñanza and their alumni association along 47 years. These data had been collected from boys and girls attending summer camps, with a policy of improving health of children with unfavorable socioeconomic conditions. The objective is to extract all p…
Development of subcutaneous fat in Spanish and Latin American children and adolescents: Reference values for biceps, triceps, subscapular and suprailiac skinfolds
Migration and nutritional status of T arahumara schoolchildren from C hihuahua S tate ( M éxico)
OBJECTIVE: The Tarahumara ethnic group is composed of indigenous people from the Sierra Madre Occidental of Mexico. Conditions of isolation and poverty compel them to migrate to the city in search of better opportunities. This work aims to explore the influence of migration on the growth and nutritional status of Tarahumara schoolchildren. METHODS: One hundred Tarahumara students were analyzed (50 rural with a mean age of 9.78 ± 1.25 years; 50 ur…
Predicting percentage body fat through waist-to-height ratio (WtHR) in Spanish schoolchildren
Objective To analyse the association between waist-to-height ratio (WtHR) and body fat and to develop predictive adiposity equations that will simplify the diagnosis of obesity in the paediatric age group. Design Cross-sectional study conducted in Spain during 2007 and 2008. Anthropometric dimensions were taken according to the International Biology Program. The children were classified as underweight, normal weight, overweight or obese according…
Weight and height percentiles calculated by the LMS method in Argentinean schoolchildren. A comparative references study
The distribution of weight and height of schoolchildren, coming from most regions of the country, differs from those of national and international references. It should be advisable to establish a new national reference based on internationally recognized methodological criteria that adequately reflect the biological and cultural diversity of the Argentinean populations
Anthropometric parameters in screening for excess of adiposity in Argentinian and Spanish adolescents: Evaluation using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) methodology
Differences exist with respect to size and body composition between the Argentinian and Spanish samples. ROC curves reflect a general pattern of variation. Waist-to-hip ratio and conicity index are less desirable in the diagnosis of excess adiposity and the most desirable is waist-to-height ratio
