The targeting of nutritionally at-risk children attending a primary health care facility in the Western Cape Province of South Africa
Problems identified in the practices of PHC nurses must be addressed in targeting children at nutritional risk so that appropriate intervention and support can be provided. More attention must be given to socio-economic criteria in identifying children who are nutritionally at-risk to ensure their access to adequate social security networks
The targeting of nutritionally at-risk children attending a primary health care facility in the Western Cape Province of South Africa
Aim The aim of this study was to determine the practices of primary health care (PHC) nurses in targeting nutritionally at-risk infants and children for intervention at a PHC facility in a peri-urban area of the Western Cape Province of South Africa. Methodology Nutritional risk status of infants and children Results One hundred and thirty-four children were enrolled in the study. The mean age of their caregivers was 29.5 (standard deviation 7.5)…
Full-term, peri-urban South African infants under 6 months of age are at risk for early-onset anaemia
Objective: There is a paucity of data on the micronutrient status of low-income, lactating South African women and their infants under 6 months of age. The aim of this study was to elucidate the level of anaemia and vitamin A deficiency (VAD) in peri-urban breast-feeding women and their young infants. Design: Cross-sectional study including anthropometric, biochemical and infant feeding data. Setting: Peri-urban settlement in Cape Town, South Afr…
Iron status of South African women working in a fruit-packing factory
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the iron status, and the risk factors for iron deficiency (ID) and iron-deficiency anaemia (IDA), of non-pregnant adult women working in a fruit-packing factory. Design: A cross-sectional analytical study was done on 338 women, 18 to 55 years of age. Information on demographic data, risk factors for ID, smoking, and the consumption of red meat, chicken and fish was collected by questionnaire. Heig…
Disadvantaged black and coloured infants in two urban communities in the Western Cape, South Africa differ in micronutrient status
Objectives: To determine the nutritional and health status of urban infants in two disadvantaged communities in the Western Cape, South Africa with special reference to micronutrient status. The results of this study will serve to plan an intervention study in these communities in the same age group. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Two disadvantaged urban black and ‘coloured’ communities in the Western Cape, South Africa. Subjects: Sixty …
Long-term evaluation of a micronutrient-fortified biscuit used for addressing micronutrient deficiencies in primary school children
Objective: To evaluate the long-term effect on micronutrient status of a β-carotene-, iron- and iodine-fortified biscuit given to primary school children as school feeding. Design: Children receiving the fortified biscuit were followed in a longitudinal study for 2.5 years ( n =108); in addition, cross-sectional data from three subsequent surveys conducted in the same school are reported. Setting: A rural community in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.…
