Abstract
|
|
|
A study was conducted intermittently, in March, July, September and December of 1985, to evaluate the nutritional status of young children in low-income urban area, in relation to day care feeding program, as well as identifying the importance of day care feeding. The Youlgok Saemaul day care center, located in one upland, overpopulated¢¥ area of the city of Seoul, was selected for purpose of this study, with the recommendation of the Korean Red Cross Society. A total of 129¢¥ children, aged 3 to 6, were surveyed¢¥.
The subjects were classified into two different groups: group A for children taking lunch and snack at day care center, and group B for at the same day care center but children taking snack only. The group of children taking the lunch and snack showed _slightly lower levels_ of hemoglobin and hematocrit than, the other group of children at the beginning of day care ¢¥feeding. Urinary urea nitrogen/creatinine ratio for the group A of children was also slightly__ lower at the beginning of feeding program.
In relation to intakes of energy and nutrients, and rate of growth between two groups,. the survey found that the group A of children showed better performance of dietary intake and better growth than the other group of children at the end of feeding program. ;There was a post t v- relationship between family environmental factors and nutritional status. By
i multiple regression analysis, feeding method during the past infancy was found to be the most--significant variable influencing on hemoglobin concentration. The survey strongly recommends that meals for children at home as well as quality of day care lunch should be improved.
