Abstract

Background: Studies on walking have been developed recently because the speed of walking plays an important role in making predictions related to physical health. However, studies of walking speed in children are still relatively few even though the need for such data is quite high considering that walking speed can be used as a parameter to measure physicalhealth.Aim: The purpose of this study is to know the difference in walking speed based on age and gender in elementary school students.Methods: This study used an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional approach. All samples are students from Mojo VI State Elementary School Surabaya aged 7 to 12 years who meet the inclusion criteria using 10-meter walk test. The variable studied was walking speed. Method of sampling was conducted at Mojo VI State Elementary School Surabaya. Walking speed analysis was carried out by using the Kruskal-Wallis test for walking speed based on age and an unpaired T test for walking speed based on gender.Results: This research included 170 subjects that are 90 males and 80 males. Based on age, seven years old students have anaveragewalkingspeedof(1.30±0.21)m/s, eightyearsold students with(1.23±of0.18)m/s, nine yearsold  students with (1.24 ± 0.17) m/s, ten years old students with (1.24 ± 0.19) m/s. eleven years old students with (1.31 ± 0.22) m/s, and twelve years old students with (1.27 ± 0.20) m/s. Based on gender, the average walking speed obtained in male was (1.26 ± 0.19) m/s, while the average walking speed obtained in female was (1.26 ± 0,20)m/s.Conclusion: There is no difference in the speed of walking based on age (p=0.440) at the age of 7 to 12 years and in both genders (p=0.910).

Abstract

Introduction: Childhood malnutrition in the under-5 age group represents a critical challenge to global health systems. Current WHO treatment protocols recommend standardized formula diet (F-100) following the stabilization period to facilitate catch-up growth. In recent years, Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) has gained widespread adoption across low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) owing to its accessibility for community-level interventions. The established benchmark for appropriate weight gain in children between 6-60 months ranges from 5-10 g/kg/day. Objectives: The present investigation sought to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of RUTF versus F-100 in promoting weight gain among malnourished children. Methods: This investigation adhered to the 2020 PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Statistical analyses employed standard meta-analytic procedures with random effects modeling based on the classical DerSimonian–Laird approach, implemented in R version 4.4.1. Data from eight investigations involving 2084 participants were synthesized to evaluate the principal outcome of bodyweight increase. Results: Children receiving RUTF demonstrated significantly superior weight gain relative to those receiving F-100. RUTF administration resulted in an additional 2.96 g/kg/day weight gain compared to F-100 ([95% CI 1.82 to 4.16], p-value <0.001). Children managed with RUTF exhibited elevated rates of weight gain compared to F-100 recipients. Despite both interventions promoting weight increase, neither achieved the velocity necessary for adequate catch-up growth in LMIC children presenting with severe acute malnutrition (SAM). Conclusions: These findings emphasize the necessity for novel supplementation approaches to achieve optimal catch-up growth in children with SAM.
