    Extractions: var templatePathPrefix = "http://siteresources.worldbank.org/"; India’s Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) needs to undergo significant changes to address the current malnutrition crisis in India, according to a World Bank report. The prevalence of underweight children in India is among the highest in the world, and is nearly double that of Sub-Saharan Africa, the report says. It also observes that malnutrition in India is a concentrated phenomenon. A relatively small number of states, districts, and villages account for a large share of the burden – 5 states and 50 percent of villages account for about 80 percent of the malnutrition cases. The consequences of child undernutrition for morbidity and mortality are enormous – and there is, in addition, an appreciable impact of undernutrition on productivity so that a failure to invest in combating nutrition reduces potential economic growth. In India, with one of the highest percentages of undernourished children in the world, the situation is dire. Moreover, inequalities in undernutrition between demographic, socioeconomic and geographic groups increased during the 1990s. More, and better, investments are needed if India is to reach the nutrition MDGs. Economic growth will not be enough.

    http://www.comeunity.com/adoption/health/malnutrition.html
    
    Extractions: By Jean Nelson-Erichson and Heino R. Erichson Many adopted children have phenomenal appetites and will eat whatever is presented to them. Some children will not know when to stop eating. They may gain weight initially, although their weight will level off as catch-up growth ensues and they begin growing taller. Serve them well balanced meals and snacks. A daily multi-vitamin tablet is also helpful. If the child shows no acceleration in growth, an underlying illness such as tuberculosis may be suspected. U.S. pediatricians use the National Center for Health Statistics growth chart, which is also used by the World Health Organization. This chart indicates population standards divided into the fifth, tenth, twenty-fifth, fiftieth, seventy-fifth, ninetieth, and ninety-fifth percentiles. Ninety percent of the population should be covered by these charts. By plotting the child's growth, the doctor knows what percentile is normal for this child and can also see if the child's growth has slowed. In normal growth, the child's measurements follow along one of the percentile lines on the chart. If growth slows, the measurements cross percentile lines. The doctor can see if the child has recovered by plotting his or her return to normal. This system depends on taking repeated measurements in order to establish the normal patterns of growth.

    Extractions: Hunger and Malnutrition How does Save the Children prevent hunger and malnutrition? Mother Sali Jara works in the field with her 1 year-old baby Meri Dunuya on her back. Save the Children mobilizes communities and partner organizations to address the root causes of food insecurity, targeting the most vulnerable, usually young children and their mothers. We work with children and their communities to develop their capacity to respond to and solve their most pressing food security problems. Food aid and monetary resources are used to manage programs focused on improving agricultural production and household nutrition, as well as responding to emergency needs. Save the Children carefully targets where food is distributed during an emergency, as has been the case in Ethiopia and Sudan. Private donations are critical to help leverage $35 million in food aid resources from USAID, USDA, and the World Food Program. Save the Children has been handling food in both emergency and development contexts since 1987. Read more about the global food crisis.

    Extractions: The alarm was sounded as sci­en­tists warned that glob­al warm­ing may have passed a tip­ping point, with the Arc­tic Ocean melt­ing much faster than pro­jected. “The Arc­tic is scream­ing,” Mark Ser­reze of the U.S. gov­ern­men­t’s snow and ice da­ta cen­ter in Boul­der, Col­o­rad­o, told news agen­cies this week; NASA cli­mate sci­ent­ist Jay Zwally added that the Arc­tic might be nearly ice-free in five years. The three Rome-based agen­cies—the Food and Ag­ri­cul­ture Or­gan­iz­a­tion, the World Food Pro­gramme and the In­terna­t­ional Fund for Ag­ri­cul­tur­al De­vel­op­ment—raised the hun­ger alert at the U.N. Cli­mate Change Con­fer­ence in Ba­li, In­do­ne­sia. Speak­ing on be­half of the three, the Food and Ag­ri­cul­ture Or­gan­iz­a­tion’s head said ex­treme weath­er is al­ready af­fect­ing “food se­cur­ity.” “If we do not act now, cli­mate change will in­crease the num­ber of hun­gry peo­ple in the world,” said di­rec­tor-gen­eral Jacques Diouf. “Cli­mate change is a ma­jor chal­lenge to world food se­cur­ity.” The or­gan­iz­a­tion has es­ti­mat­ed that 854 mil­lion peo­ple world­wide suf­fer from hun­ger and mal­nu­tri­tion, in­clud­ing 820 mil­lion in de­vel­op­ing coun­tries.

Action Against Hunger Providing innovative solutions to world hunger Donation Action Against Hunger has developed its water and sanitation expertise over nearly three decades of field work, advancing a number of solutions for populations at risk from water insecurity. Central to the targeting of malnutrition, Action Against Hunger extends water and sanitation improvements to communities with little or no access to proper sources. Action Against Hunger's programs are sustainable because of our commitment to community participation—to build local capacity and harnesses a population's energy and resources. Though strategies may vary, our food security interventions all share a common goal: to fight hunger by preserving and strengthening livelihoods in a sustainable and contextual manner. Action Against Hunger’s innovative food security programs offer a broad range of solutions for generating income, boosting food production, and strengthening livelihoods. Our comprehensive approach to hunger involves extending water and sanitation services to communities faced with water scarcity, unsafe drinking water, and inadequate sanitation.

    Extractions: IFPRI Home 2020 Vision Publications and Resources Catalog Briefs 2020 Brief No. 64 Overcoming Child Malnutrition in Developing Countries: Past Achievements and Future Choices Lisa C. Smith and Lawrence Haddad February 2000 In 1995, 167 million children under five years old—almost one-third of developing-country children—were malnourished. Malnutrition causes a great deal of human suffering, and it is a violation of a child’s human rights. It is associated with more than half of all deaths of children worldwide. People who survive a malnourished childhood are less physically and intellectually productive and suffer from more chronic illness and disability. The costs to society are enormous. Eradicating malnutrition remains a tremendous public policy challenge. Which types of interventions will have the greatest impact in reducing child malnutrition? The study on which this brief is based uses national data for 63 countries over 1970–96 to explore this question. DETERMINANTS OF CHILD NUTRITIONAL STATUS Between 1970 and 1995, the number of malnourished children declined by 37 million, from 204 million to 167 million, while the prevalence of malnutrition (as measured by weight below the norm) in the developing world as a whole fell from 46.5 percent to 31 percent, about 15 percentage points in all (see the table). Progress in reducing malnutrition has varied greatly from one region to another. The prevalence of malnutrition has declined the fastest in South Asia (by 23 percentage points) and slowest in Sub-Saharan Africa (4 percentage points). The number of malnourished children has declined most sharply in East Asia (from 78 to 38 million). The situation is particularly troubling in Sub-Saharan Africa where the number of malnourished children has increased by 70 percent. Since 1970, the prevalence has decreased in 35 developing countries, held steady in 15, and increased in 12, with most of the countries with increases in Sub-Saharan Africa.

    Extractions: Printer Friendly Text Version Email Page Malnutrition and Starvation Description Historically, in Michigan the number of species diagnosed at the Laboratory as dying from malnutrition and starvation are second only to those dying from traumatic injuries. Numerous bird and mammal species annually (depending on the severity of the winter) die from insufficient nutrition. Currently we have 3 primary species that die from malnutrition or starvation: white-tailed deer, mute swan, and wild turkey. The majority of the animals have come from the Upper Peninsula and the northern half of the Lower Peninsula with mortality occurring almost exclusively during the winter when food availability is at its lowest. Susceptibility Avian species are highly mobile and usually migrate, thereby lessening the chances of mass starvation. Extremes of weather (sudden snow or ice storms) may result in birds becoming trapped in inhospitable areas and not having food available. Some species experience mortality of the females due to nesting activities in the early spring, when they are unable to leave the nest to feed. Deaths attributed to malnutrition and starvation are seen in young birds during the hatching season due to parent neglect, or once they are fledged from the nest, the inability to acquire their own food.

    Extractions: Share Blog Cite Print Email Bookmark ScienceDaily (Jul. 1, 2003) See also: Yet, 8 million of the 11 million childhood deaths worldwide each year could easily be prevented, says a Cornell University expert, writing in the authoritative medical journal The Lancet . That's because almost 60 percent of deaths of children under 5 in the developing world are due to malnutrition and its interactive effects on preventable diseases. "Every single day 365 days a year an attack against children occurs that is 10 times greater than the death toll from the World Trade Center," says Jean-Pierre Habicht, professor of epidemiology and nutritional sciences at Cornell. "We know how to prevent these deaths we have the biological knowledge and tools to stop this public health travesty, but we're not yet doing it." Habicht is a member of the Bellagio Child Survival Study Group, made up of leading child-health researchers, that has authored a series of five articles in The Lancet on how to prevent the global toll on young children. The first article is published in the June 28 issue; the other four will follow in the next four consecutive issues. Only 10 years ago, child-health experts believed that malnutrition played only a negligible role in child mortality in the developing world. Then, Habicht and his colleagues at Cornell published a study showing that the majority of these childhood deaths were due to the interactive effect of malnutrition on disease. They also reported that more than 80 percent of malnutrition-related deaths were due to mild-to-moderate malnutrition rather than severe malnutrition.

    Extractions: Search: Despite vast stores of surplus food that go unused, more than 850 million people go to bed hungry each night. Malnutrition is a problem of politics, economics, and inequity, and it occurs in wealthy countries as well as poor ones. Approximately nine million of the hungry people are in the developed world; the vast majority, however, are in the developing world. Poor nourishment increases the risk of dying from pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria, measles, premature birth, and various infections. Malnutrition is an underlying factor in 53 percent of deaths of children under 5. Especially in developing-country settings and other places where a balanced diet may not be available, to combat malnutrition, experts recommend exclusive breastfeeding for six months; supplementary feeding and continued breastfeeding for two years; nutritional care for sick and malnourished children; and special attention to vitamin A and iron intake for both women and children, and iodine for all household members. Malnutrition (from the French mal , meaning "bad") doesn't just mean lack of food. It might surprise some to learn that it refers to obesity, too. In addition, malnutrition describes a lack of micronutrients, including a range of vitamins and minerals.
