A Quasi experimental Study to assess the efficacy of selected intervention on Malnutrition among Children

Nursing

The children of today will be the citizens of the world in the not too distant future. We can't have healthy people in the future if we don't meet the dietary needs of the children today. Around 8% of the world's population is chronically undernourished, with more than 160 million of these children under the age of five. Child malnutrition affects 7% of Chinese children under the age of 5, 28% of those in Sub-Saharan Africa, and 43% of those in India, according to the UN. 27-28 percent of underweight children live in rural areas, where undernutrition is most prevalent. Malnutrition is a severe health issue for children, and it is linked to an increased risk of illness and death. In India, mortality from malnutrition accounted for 58% of all deaths in 2006. Gross malnutrition claims the lives of over 5,00,000 Indian babies and children each year. Approximately 75% to 80% of hospitalized children are malnourished. Underdeveloped countries face a major problem with malnutrition. The most vulnerable age group in India is that of children between the ages of 0 and 4. Infection and inadequate nourishment are to blame for this. The study's goal was to see if Mixed Cereals Porridge had any effect on malnutrition in children under the age of five in certain areas in Sagar Madhya Pradesh
