The document discusses assessing nutritional status through anthropometric measurements and clinical/biochemical testing. It describes common methods like repeated surveys, growth monitoring, sentinel site surveillance and school census data. Selecting the right information source depends on objectives, costs, resources and other factors. Nutritional status data alone is limited - additional analysis of underlying causes like food access, health and care is needed to understand malnutrition and identify effective responses. Participatory appraisal and tools like problem trees can integrate qualitative findings to explain quantitative results.

Abstract
In the U.S., food access and food security is a challenge. The lack of convenient access to affordable and healthy food is a considered a national challenge. Socio-economic status of the country’s population affects the consumption and access of health food. Low-income areas usually lack access to adequate food and high-income areas have a challenge of access to health food. Therefore, for the two areas with different socio-economic population statuses, they all have challenges to food access. Lack of healthy foods often lead to poor diet and higher levels of risk to obesity. Due to the persistent food access and food insecurity challenges, the aim of this study is to discuss the link between food access and food consumption among the American population. The paper will also focus on the exploring the variation between food access and food consumption among the American population. A two-stage sampling cross-sectional survey will be used to sample participants from 48 states of the U.S. A self-administered questionnaire will be used as quantitative data collection instrument. The target population will be sampled adult U.S. citizens who have families to feed. Grown-ups with families are likely to demonstrate their understanding of ...

Nutritional status can be assessed through:
Body (anthropometric) measurements, used
to measure growth in children and body weight
changes in adults.
Clinical examination and biochemical
testing, used to diagnose deficiencies of
micronutrients (e.g. iodine, vitamin A and iron).

Assessing Nutritional Status
Which type of information source should be used?
Selecting Nutrition Information Sources
In case of multiple objectives, prioritising them will help decide
which kind of system is most appropriate.
Primary objectives should largely determine the source.
Example:
If the primary objective is to support households in prevention and
treatment of malnutrition, then the appropriate source may be
growth monitoring.
13. Screen 13 of 32
Nutritional Status Assessment and Analysis
Assessing Nutritional Status
Selecting Nutrition Information Sources
Before undertaking any survey, consider:
are there any existing data?
national surveys are very expensive and
time-consuming compared to community
based systems: is it necessary to look for
donor funding?
is there a need to sustain a system over a
period of time?
When deciding which type of information
source should be used, one must match
costs with resource availability.
14. Screen 14 of 32

Other key factors to consider are:
Response capacity at different levels (household,
community, district, national and international).
Environmental factors, such as security, geographical
terrain and infrastructure.
Seasonality of malnutrition in most developing countries.
Emergency versus non-emergency contexts.
Organizational mandate and implementation capacity.

A) Traditional food habits and production
systems (and also health and care practices)
B) Desired food patterns, or what people prefer
to eat and why.
C) The ways households cope with seasonal or
unexpected food and nutrition problems

The steps in the participatory appraisal of community food and nutrition are:
Analysing Underlying Causes
1. Analyse the food and nutrition situation
2. Identify nutrition-related problems and major constraints to
adequate nutrition
3. Identify vulnerable households in relation to each problem and
determine those most affected
4. Prioritize food and nutrition problems
5. Summarize and agree on the outcomes of the appraisal

It is also useful to carry out a SWOT analysis:
what has helped people in achieving good
nutrition (strengths and opportunities)?
what has hindered them (weaknesses and
threats)?

The final challenge in analysing
malnutrition is to combine quantitative
and qualitative findings.

Case Study - Darfur in 2000
A nutritional survey was conducted in Darfur at
the same time as a household economy
assessment (HEA), which determines the food
gap of households.
The nutritional survey showed:
a current high rate of global acute
malnutrition (GAM),
signs of vitamin A deficiency, and
a recent measles epidemic.
From Analysis to Action
What does this information suggest?
The HEA predicted that there would be a food
deficit in the future, based on:
poor cereal production,
high grain prices, and
low groundnut prices.

Relying simply on measurements of

nutrition data with other kinds of
information.

Two examples of analyses that integrate multi-sectoral information into
assessment are:
From Analysis to Action
Nutrition Country Profiles - NCPs
They provide:
a thorough analysis of the food and nutrition situation in countries,
background statistics on food-related factors such as agricultural
production, as well as
selected health, demographic, education and economic indicators.
Nutrition Information in Crisis Situations (NICS) reports
The NICS classification defines five levels of nutritional risk.
(e.g. Populations in category I are critical; populations in category IV are
not at an elevated nutritional risk).
The prevalence/risk is indirectly affected by both:
underlying causes of malnutrition, relating to food, health and care,and
the constraints limiting humanitarian response.

Assessing Nutritional Status
Example: Nutritional profile of an Ethiopian highland community
In the rural highlands of Ethiopia, subsistence farmers have less than a half-
hectare of land on which to grow crops. In a good year, teff production (the local
staple) will last an average family for five months. After that families are forced
to sell small livestock, with men migrating for seasonal work.
Water sources have been gradually diminishing due to a combination of poor
rainfall years and population and livestock pressures, so that women are
spending an increasing number of hours each day collecting water.
From Analysis to Action
The number of cases of underweight children seen at Mother and Child Health
(MCH) centres has two peaks:
one is before the main Belg harvest, and the other coincides with the rainy
season as levels of malaria and diarrhoea increase.
Nutritional survey work has shown that levels of malnutrition are highest
amongst the 12- to 24- month age group and that infant feeding practices (early
introduction of solid foods) are contributing to their high levels of malnutrition.
What kind of intervention is needed?

Case Study - Afghan refugees in Pakistan 1985-6
Levels of malnutrition in a number of refugee camps
were alarmingly high, despite large amounts of food aid
going into the camps.
Because of over-registration by refugees, too much food
was being allocated in the camps.
High levels of malnutrition were therefore being
attributed to faulty food distribution systems.
From Analysis to Action
A nutritional assessment by UNHCR also collected information on water quality,
levels of diarrhoea and use of breast milk substitutes.
The findings were that:
levels of diarrhoea were of 60 percent,
breast milk substitutes were being over-used, and
the products were being used with contaminated water supplies.
These findings confirmed that the nutritional problems were mainly related to
infant feeding practices, hygiene and sanitation and that food rations were not
the issue.
What conclusions can be drawn from this case study?
29. Screen 29 of 32
Nutritional Status Assessment and Analysis

Summary
Nutritional status assessments enables to determine whether a
population group is well-nourished or undernourished by using
anthropometric measurements, biochemical testing or by identifying
physiological signs.
The main data collection methodologies that provide anthropometric
information are: poplulation-based surveys, growth monitoring, and
sentinel site and school census data.
Additional information on factors such as food security, livelihoods, and
health and care practices is usually necessary to interpret nutritional
status data and determine the likely causes of malnutrition.
Information on nutritional status, combined with the analysis of
underlying causes, will provide the understanding needed to select the
appropriate intervention.
Experience shows that multi-sectoral interventions have a better
chance of improving the nutritional status of the population.
