This document summarizes a presentation on stunting and environmental health risk factors in Timor-Leste. It discusses how stunting refers to children being too short for their age and can cause physical and cognitive damage. In Timor-Leste, surveys show stunting rates have remained very high at around 47% of children under 5 from 2010 to 2020. The main causes of stunting identified are inadequate nutrition, recurrent infections, lack of sanitation and access to healthcare. Timor-Leste has implemented a national strategy to address stunting through nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive programs, as well as building an enabling environment with multi-sectoral coordination and advocacy efforts.
The document summarizes key findings from the 2021 edition of the UNICEF, WHO, and World Bank Group's Joint Child Malnutrition Estimates. It finds that while stunting has declined globally since 2000, faster progress is needed to meet 2030 targets. Wasting persists at alarming rates, and overweight prevalence must reverse if 2030 targets are to be achieved. Most children with malnutrition live in Africa and Asia, and nearly two-thirds of stunted children live in lower-middle income countries.
1) According to a 2020 report by UNICEF, WHO, and the World Bank, 144 million children under 5 worldwide are stunted, 47 million are wasted, and 38 million are overweight.
2) Stunting rates are declining too slowly, while wasting still impacts far too many children. Over half of stunted children and two-thirds of wasted children live in Asia, while two in five stunted children and over a quarter of wasted children live in Africa.
3) Lower-middle income countries bear the greatest burden, with two-thirds of stunted children and three-quarters of wasted children living in these countries.
Africa and Asia bear the greatest burden of child malnutrition globally. According to the report, over half of all stunted children and two-thirds of wasted children under 5 years old live in Asia, while two-fifths of stunted children and over one-quarter of wasted children live in Africa. The report also finds that rates of child stunting have declined in most regions since 2000, though Africa still has the highest prevalence and numbers of stunted children. Overweight rates are rising in all regions except Northern America.
The document summarizes key findings from the 2020 UNICEF/WHO/World Bank Group joint report on child malnutrition estimates. It finds that in 2019:
- 144 million children under 5 were stunted (too short for their age) globally, with over half living in Asia and two-fifths in Africa.
- 47 million children under 5 were wasted (too thin for their height) globally, with over two-thirds living in Asia and over one-quarter in Africa.
- 38 million children under 5 were overweight globally, with around half living in Asia and one-quarter in Africa.
The document summarizes a presentation on the Millennium Development Goals given by Dr. G. Hari Prakash. It discusses the eight MDGs related to poverty, education, gender equality, child and maternal health, disease, environment and global partnership. It provides data showing progress made in India towards achieving the health-related targets of reducing poverty, hunger, child mortality, maternal mortality and diseases like HIV, malaria and tuberculosis. While most targets have been met or are in progress, some states still face challenges. The drivers for achieving the goals included economic growth, social sector resources, strong program implementation and basic infrastructure development. The presentation concludes by discussing the transition from MDGs to the Sustainable Development Goals.

ASEFSU23 Background Paper Child Obesity In IndiaNathan Mathis
This document discusses the growing crisis of childhood obesity in India, focusing on Delhi. It finds that childhood obesity levels are increasing, especially in urban areas and among affluent families. This is linked to factors of urbanization like reduced physical activity and increased access to unhealthy, calorie-dense foods. Children in Delhi are 5 times more likely to be overweight than rural children due to different diets and lifestyles. If left unaddressed, childhood obesity can lead to lifelong health issues and economic costs. The document calls for policy measures that consider the urban factors driving obesity and link urban development programs to addressing this issue.

What Happened Since the Child Survival Call to Action_John Borazzo_4.26.13CORE Group
The document discusses developments since the 2012 Child Survival Call to Action. It notes many countries have developed new plans and data on child mortality is available. Key issues include focusing on vulnerable populations, high-impact interventions, and accountability. Measuring annual changes in mortality is difficult due to data limitations. Coordination is needed across global and national initiatives to accelerate reductions in preventable child deaths.
Levels and Trends in Child Malnutrition - UNICEF, WHO, Worldbank - 2014UNICEF Data & Analytics
UNICEF, WHO and the World Bank released an updated joint dataset on child malnutrition indicators (stunting, wasting, severe wasting, overweight and underweight) and new global & regional estimates for 2013 with 95% confidence intervals in September 2014 through an interactive dashboard.
Some selected findings:
- 161 million children are stunted, down from 257 million in 1990.
- Undernutrition contributes to half of all deaths in children under 5 and is widespread in Asia and Africa.
- Boys are more likely to be stunted than girls in most countries.
- 43 million children under 5 are overweight globally (as of 2011), a 54% increase from 1990
Globally in 2013, 161 million children under 5 were stunted, 51 million were wasted, and 42 million were overweight. The prevalence of stunting and underweight has decreased since 2000 but trends are rising for overweight. Over half of stunted children live in Asia while over 1/3 live in Africa. For wasting, about 2/3 live in Asia and 1/3 in Africa. The report provides details on methodology, data sources, and interactive dashboards containing malnutrition estimates from 1990-2013.

The Global Hunger Index (GHI) report ranks India 101st out of 116 countries in 2021 based on undernourishment, child wasting, stunting, and mortality rates. India's GHI score of 27.5 indicates serious hunger levels. While India has made progress since 2000 by reducing undernourishment and child mortality, child stunting remains very high at 34.7% and child wasting is the highest of all countries at 17.3%. The Indian government criticized the report, arguing the methodology is unscientific and does not account for efforts made during the Covid pandemic to ensure food security.
This document summarizes UNICEF's work on HIV and AIDS in 2015. It discusses key results and challenges across UNICEF's six output areas for preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV, keeping mothers alive, and treating children and adolescents living with HIV. While progress was made in many areas, challenges remain in generating age- and sex-disaggregated data and advancing gender-sensitive policies for adolescents. Looking ahead, UNICEF is committed to focusing on vulnerable women and children and building health systems capacity to sustain progress toward ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030.
This document provides an executive summary of the 2018 Global Nutrition Report. It finds that while malnutrition is a global issue and progress has been slow, opportunities now exist to address it through commitments like the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition and the Sustainable Development Goals. The burden of malnutrition remains high in multiple forms among children and adults worldwide. However, countries are increasingly establishing policies and targets to tackle malnutrition, though financing remains a challenge to deliver on these commitments. Data and understanding of effective solutions are improving but must be translated into urgent, comprehensive action to achieve nutrition goals.
Violent conflict in South Sudan has resulted in widespread displacement, destruction of crops and farmland, and separation of children from their families. This has led to high levels of malnutrition among children, especially in areas affected by hostilities. While responding to malnutrition in conflict areas is challenging due to limited resources, disrupted infrastructure, and access issues, World Vision has worked to adapt its nutrition programming. This includes coordinating closely with other humanitarian organizations through the UN Nutrition Cluster to identify and address gaps, while continuing to provide community-based treatment for malnourished children using therapeutic foods. The coordination and multi-sectoral approach helps maximize the effectiveness of the response despite ongoing difficulties in South Sudan.

In this chapter some of the facts and figures related to family and health, various causes for death in various age groups in different locations, food insecurity - hunger - under nutrition, why orphanages are increasing, environment - water supply - sanitation -its impact on health care, doctor - population ratio, money spent on health, measures taken by the government still not able to achieve the satisfactory results, why millennium development goals are not achieved and how these can be handled well with model village and model nation are mentioned.
Chris Auricht - overview of population undernutritionACIAR
This document provides an overview of population undernutrition in eastern and southern Africa. It discusses the elements and consequences of maternal and child undernutrition, including stunting, wasting, underweight, and micronutrient deficiencies. Undernutrition increases the risk of infection, illness, death, and reduced cognitive and physical development. The document also examines indicators and measures of undernutrition, global and regional contexts, and the perspectives on undernutrition in eastern and southern African countries like Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, and Tanzania.
Many children today are growing up in an obesogenic environment that encourages weight gain and obesity .
Energy imbalance has resulted from changes in food type, availability, affordability and marketing , as well as a decline in physical activity with more time being spent on screen based and sedentary leisure activity .
Bangladesh has made progress in reducing child mortality and improving health indicators, but challenges remain. The major child health problems are low birth weight, malnutrition, infections, accidents, and behavioral issues. Key indicators of child health status include poverty, maternal health, immunization coverage, and access to healthcare. While infant mortality has decreased and immunization rates have increased, issues like malnutrition, lack of access to healthcare, and maternal health persist. Continued efforts are needed to improve child health in Bangladesh.
Exploring dietary diversity, nutritional status of adolescents amongfarmhouse...Olutosin Ademola Otekunrin
Purpose –This study aims to explore dietary diversity (DD) and nutritional status of adolescents among rural farm households in Southwestern Nigeria. It analyses whether higher commercialization levels of farm households translate to better nutrition. Design/methodology/approach –This study was conducted in Ogun and Oyo States of Southwestern Nigeria, using primary data from352 farm households with a total of 160 adolescent members. The individual version of dietary diversity score (DDS) of nine food groups was used to calculate adolescent DDS over a 24-h recall period. World Health Organization AnthroPlus software was used in analyzing adolescents’ anthropometric data (height-for-age z-score and body mass index-for-age z-score) while household crop commercialization index (CCI) was estimated for each farm household. Separate logit models were used to examine thedriversof adolescents’ DDandmalnutrition. Findings –Thestudyfindings indicated that 100% of the adolescents consumed starchy staples while 0%, 3.1% and 12.5% consumed organ meat, milk/milk products and eggs, respectively. Results revealed that 74.1%and21.2%ofboyswerestuntedandthinwhiletheprevalenceinadolescent girls was 50.7%and9.3%, respectively. Prevalence of stunting was found to be very high (60%–83%) in all the four CCI levels’ households indicating that belonging to highly commercialized households (CCI 3–4) may not necessarily translate to better nutrition of adolescent members. Food expenditure (p < 0.01) and access to piped water (p <0.01) negatively influenced adolescents’ stunting mainly because of lower expenditure on food items and lower percent of household having access to piped water, respectively, while education (p < 0.01) had positive effects on adolescents’ DD. Originality/value –Previous studies have contributed to the body of knowledge concerning the link between agricultural commercialization and nutrition using under-five children of the households. However, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that investigated the influence of CCI on DDSandnutritional status of adolescent members of farm households in Nigeria. This study fills this existing knowledge gap in investigating adolescents’ DD and malnutrition among smallholder farm households.
This document discusses the evolution of approaches to improving child health and survival over time, from early colonial public health efforts focused on single diseases, to integrated primary health care and selective primary care strategies in the late 20th century. It describes campaigns targeting specific diseases from the 1950s-1970s and the "child survival revolution" of the 1980s based on low-cost GOBI interventions of growth monitoring, oral rehydration, breastfeeding, and immunization. More integrated, health system-wide approaches emerged in the 1990s to strengthen struggling systems.
S9c1 chapter 1-facts and figures on health.Shivu P
Health is a continuous state of physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, and the person should be able to lead socially and economically productive life (WHO definition). It is very much essential to maintain the health of all the people all the time to keep ourselves healthy, happy and long living. For example you cannot fly peace fully in the flight if someone tells that some people in the same flight is having H1N1 infection. Whether it is communicable disease or non communicable it is necessary to keep all the people healthy. For example a young driver getting painless myocardial infarction can consume the life of all the passengers of his bus or the bus can hit the VIP's car travelling in the same road. So the leaders of the nation / world should not have the attitude that why should I bother if someone is sick somewhere. I feel the leaders of the nation and the world will understand the importance of maintaining the health of all the people with this simple examples. In this chapter some of the facts and figures related to the health is mentioned and it tells that we have not achieved the goals in health, that, what we can achieve for whatever the reasons. The reason may point towards anything like the doctor, minister, staff of the hospital, availability of the facility, roads, infrastructure, transportation facility and so on. Let us try to make all the people healthy, young and energetic.
Changes in nutrition outcomes in Ethiopia, 2000-2016essp2
1. Stunting rates in Ethiopia have declined dramatically since 2000, though nearly 40% of children under 5 remain stunted.
2. Improvements in breastfeeding practices have led to reduced stunting, but growth still collapses when complementary foods are introduced around 6 months of age due to poor dietary diversity.
3. Prices of nutritious complementary foods have increased substantially in Ethiopia since 2007, likely negatively impacting children's diets, as agricultural policy influences food production, marketing, and trade.

This particular slides consist of- what is hypotension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.

children can suffer severe irreversible physical and cognitive damage
that accompanies stunted growth. The devastating effects of stunting
can last a lifetime and even affect the next generation.

Editor's Notes
Note that regional and global wasting and severe wasting estimates are only presented for the most recent year, 2020, unlike stunting and overweight estimates for which an annual time series is available from 2000 to 2020. This is because the JME are based on national-level country prevalence data, which come from
cross-sectional surveys (i.e., a snapshot at one point in time) that are collected infrequently (every three to five years) in most countries. Since stunting and overweight are relatively stable over the course of a calendar year, it is reasonable to track changes in these two conditions over time with these data, whereas wasting is an acute condition that can change frequently and rapidly. An individual child can be affected by wasting more than once in a calendar year (i.e., can recover but then become wasted again in the same year), and the risk of wasting in many contexts can be driven by seasonal variations, which can result in seasonal spikes in prevalence. For example, wasting prevalence, in some contexts, may double between the post-harvest season (often associated with higher food availability and weather patterns that are less likely to cause disease) and the pre-harvest season (often associated with food shortages, heavy rains and related diseases that can affect nutrition status). Given that country surveys can be collected during any season, the prevalence estimate from any survey may be at a high or low; or it may fall somewhere in between if data collection spanned across several seasons. Thus, the prevalence of wasting captures the situation of wasting at a specific point in time and not over an entire year. Variations in seasons across surveys make it difficult to draws inferences on trends. The lack of methods to account for seasonality and incident cases of wasting and severe wasting are the main reasons why the JME does not present annual trends for these forms of malnutrition.
