dc.description.abstractPresent study was undertaken to assess food based approach in management of PEM among children of 3-6 years. For the purpose a Supplementary product ladoo rich in energy & protein was prepared using various ingredients like wheat & bengal gram flour, groundnut, til, milk powder and jaggery. Ladoo was analyzed for its nutritional composition. It was found that 100g of laddoo contains 405 kcal, 11.60 g of protein, 10.83 g of fat, and 2 g of ash, and 65.11 g of carbohydrate. Effect of product in management of malnutrition was assessed by assessing changes in anthropometric measurement, dietary intake and presence of clinical signs of PEM among malnourished children after intervention. A pre-post test design was used to assess the effect of supplementary food. To select the 10 normal and 30 malnourished children a preliminary survey was conducted on one hundred five children (3-6 years) of village Bhesana, Jhadol block of Udaipur district (Rajasthan). Each of the children was measured for their weight and categorized on the basis of Gomez classification using NCHS standards to assess the nutritional status. Background information of the children indicated that majority (98.09%) of them were Hindu belonged to SC (98%) category and about 70 percent of them were from nuclear family (68.57%). Nutritional status of 105 children by weight measurement revealed that only 32 percent children were normal and 78 percent had different grades of malnutrition. Out of these children 10 normal and 30 malnourished, (10 in each category of mild, moderate, severe) were selected on the basis of willingness and cooperation ensured by their parents. Ten normal children were also included in the study to serve as control group. The experimental group (malnourished children) was supplemented 100g ladoo per day for 60 days. Results showed that percentage of normal children raised from 25 before intervention to 32.5 after intervention. About 63 percent of children were normal by height increased to 70 percent after intervention. About 8 percent subjects were normal by skin fold triceps for age which was increased to 12.5 percent after intervention. Percentage (17.5 percent) of normal children by mid arm circumference remained same after intervention. Due to supplement the weight of children under all the category increased significantly (p<0.05). The increment observed was 1.07, 1.15 and 0.8 kg for grade I, II and III children respectively after 60 days intervention. Dietary intake of all the children under study was poor than the recommended daily allowances. The significant (p<0.05, 0.01) improvement in daily intake was observed due to the contribution of supplement in daily diet. Percentage prevalence of clinical signs observed in selected children i.e. wasted muscle, flag sign, dry and brittle hair, easy pluckability of hair, moon face and odema were 67.5, 78, 75, 20, 25 and 8 percent respectively. No change was found in clinical examination after intervention of 60 days may be due to the fact that reversible action of clinical sign occurs late than the anthropometric parameter. The study concluded that the food based approach is effective in management of malnutrition. Key Words: Malnutrition, Nutritional status, Supplementation,en_US
