Abstract

A 4 years retrospective study was made on malnourished children attending the OPD of the Sub Department of Child Nutrition, Dr. Pirngadi Hospital during the period of 1976 - 1979. In this study 635 out of 720 malnourished children were under 3 years old. Gain in body weight was only seen in 23,7% of the children. Most of them (49, 7%} came only once. More effort such as child food demonstration, health and nutrition education is needed to motivate the parents to bring their malnourished children for consultation.

Abstract

Three hundred under five years of age patients admitted to Dr. Pirngadi General Hospital Child Health during a two months period (October-November, 1981) were studied, using child care monitoring form. The age group with highest morbidity (86.7%) was found in the age group of 0-2 years. Only 54.3% of the children get breastfeeding until the age of 6 months. Supplementary food was already given at the age of 0-4 months. Undernutrition was still high (41.7%) particularly under the age of 2 years (32.7%). BCG and DPT immunization were still low respectively 22.7% and 10%. Gastrointestinal disease and respiratory tract infection were the two leading diseases; tetanus neonatorum was also frequent. The percentage of discharge on parents request was high (31%) which might be related to low level parental education and low socio economic condition.
