Modeling Growth Trajectories in Stunted Children Under 5 Years of Age
BackgroundStunting is a pervasive issue in low- and middle-income countries, particularly affecting rural and Indigenous populations. Little reported data is available on the growth of clinical populations of children with stunting, including those with more severe stunting.ObjectiveThis study examines growth trajectories of children under 5 years of age from a long-standing clinical care program to address childhood stunting that provides monthl…
Beverage consumption and anthropometric outcomes among schoolchildren in Guatemala
This analysis explores the clustering of beverage patterns in a single day in private vs. public school children in urban Guatemala. This study is based on measurements taken from 356 third- and fourth-grade pupils from the highland city of Quetzaltenango. Height, weight and body mass index were assessed, and one day's intake of all foods and beverages using a pictorial workbook and dietician assisted recall. Mean differences in beverage consumpt…
Contribution of beverages to energy, macronutrient and micronutrient intake of third- and fourth-grade schoolchildren in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala
Beverages are selected based on availability, culture, taste preference, health, safety and social context. Beverages may be important to energy and to the macronutrient and micronutrient quality of overall intake. The aim of this study was to determine the contribution of beverages to the dietary energy and estimated macro- and micronutrient intake to the diet of young schoolchildren. We analyzed data from third- and fourth-grade urban Guatemala…
Distribution of macro- and micronutrient intakes in relation to the meal pattern of third- and fourth-grade schoolchildren in the city of Quetzaltenango, Guatemala
Objective Our objective was to assess the distribution of energy, macro- and micronutrient intakes by meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner and combined snacks) in a cross-sectional sample of schoolchildren. Design Cross-sectional dietary survey in schoolchildren. Setting Twelve private and public schools in the urban setting of Quetzaltenango, Guatemala. Subjects A total of 449 schoolchildren (from higher and lower socio-economic strata) were enrolled …
Fruit and vegetable intake of schoolchildren in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala
