Malnutrition Indicators
• Malnutrition indicators: Differ with respect to the stage in one’s life cycle.

Nutritional Status of Children 4
Intra-uterine Undernutrition: Low Birth Weight (LBW)
• Cause: Maternal malnutrition:
• Effect: Malnutrition during intra-uterine life.
Retards the growth and development of the foetus during pregnancy.
The foetus is born with birth weight lower than normal.
The cut-off value for birth weight is 2.5 kg(WHO).
Babies born with birth weight <2.5 kg are LBW babies.

Nutritional Status of Children 5
Childhood Malnutrition
• Severe consequences if it occurs early in life.
– Adverse impact on subsequent growth, morbidity, cognitive development, educational attainment and productivity in adulthood.

Nutritional Status of Children 6
Nutrition status: Children U5
• Anthropometric Indicators:Height-for-age (HFA),Weight-for-age (WFA), Weight-for-height (WFH), andMUAC-for-age. Most sensitive indicators of food security, vulnerability
and overall socio-economic development of a country. Stunting, Wasting and Underweight. Z-score classification.

Nutritional Status of Children 7
Malnutrition IndicatorsMeasure the clinical phenomena of malnutrition.Standard cutoff points are used internationally to
define under nutrition in children 6-59 months.The cutoff points for nutrition indicators are derived
from the WHO child growth standard population (WHO standards) or NCHS reference population (NCHS population).

Nutritional Status of Children 8
Stunting (low height-for-age)
• Cause: Chronic under nutrition retards growth of a child by height.
• Stunting: child is shorter for its age.
• Information requirement: Estimates of height and age.
![Page 9: Topic 20 anthro meaurement](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042515/55566c1ed8b42abc5a8b4b90/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Nutritional Status of Children 9
Stunting (low height-for-age)
• Low HFA identifies past or chronic under nutrition (stunting)
• Stunting indicates reduced linear growth Cannot measure short-term changes in malnutrition For children <2 yrs of age, the term is
length-for-age/LA For children > 2 yrs age, the index is referred to as
height-for-age/HA

Nutritional Status of Children 10
Stunting: Classification
• Height-for-age up to -2SD = Normal
• Height-for-age <-2SD to -3SD = Moderate
• Height-for-age <-3SD = Severe
![Page 11: Topic 20 anthro meaurement](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042515/55566c1ed8b42abc5a8b4b90/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Nutritional Status of Children 11
Wasting (low weight–for-height)
• Cause: Acute, short-run malnutrition Affects only body weight.
“Wasting” of the body, i.e. loss of body mass compared to the body size.
Indicator: Weight-for-height.
![Page 12: Topic 20 anthro meaurement](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042515/55566c1ed8b42abc5a8b4b90/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Nutritional Status of Children 12
Wasting (low weight–for-height)
Weight for-height:Low WFH identifies current or acute under
nutrition (wasting)Useful when exact age is difficult to determine• - Weight for-length (< 2 yrs) or weight for-
height (in > 2 yrs)- Appropriate for examining short-term effects

Nutritional Status of Children 13
Wasting: Classification
• Normal weight-for-height: If its weight-for-height is within 2 standard deviations (-2SD) of the median weight-for-height of a reference population.
• Moderately wasted: If the weight-for-height falls below 2SD (<-2SD) but within 3 SD below the reference median (-3SD).
• Severely wasted: If the weight-for-height falls below 3SD of the reference median (<-3SD).

Nutritional Status of Children 14
Wasting: Classification
• Weight-for-height up to –2SD = Normal
• Weight-for-height <-2SD to –3SD = Moderate
• Weight-for-height <-3SD = Severe

Nutritional Status of Children 15
Underweight (low weight-for-age)
Composite indicator of long-term and acute short-term malnutrition.
The body weight may be lost from malnutrition for a long time => low weight-for-age.
Weight may also be lost from acute, short-term malnutrition => low weight-for-age.
![Page 16: Topic 20 anthro meaurement](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042515/55566c1ed8b42abc5a8b4b90/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Nutritional Status of Children 16
Underweight: Classification
• Normal weight-for-age: If weight-for-age is within 2 standard deviations (-2SD) of the median weight-for-age of a reference population.
• Moderately underweight: If the weight-for-age falls below 2SD (<-2SD) but within 3 SD below the reference median (-3SD).
• Severely underweight: If the weight-for-age falls below 3SD of the reference median (<-3SD).

Mid- Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC)
Low MUAC (<12.5 cm) indicates acute malnutrition among children 6-59 months.
Is relatively easy to measure and a good predictor of immediate risk of death.
Is used for rapid screening of acute malnutrition.
