Abstract

BACKGROUND

Children with disabilities are expected to have poor nutritional status in comparison to children without disabilities. However, limited data on nutritional status of children with and without disabilities in rural settings in India.

OBJECTIVE

To assess and compare the nutritional status of children with and without disability.

METHODS

A cross-sectional study among children aged 5-15 years was conducted in the rural practise area of a medical college in Karnataka. 290 children (145 with and 145 children without disability) of similar age and sex were studied. Age and sex-specific World Health Organization (WHO) BMI centiles, 24 h dietary calorie and protein intakes were assessed and compared. Median and interquartile ranges were calculated for quantitative variables. Mann-Whitney U test was used to assess the differences in quantitative variables among the two groups.

RESULTS

As per WHO BMI centiles, 33.1% with and 37.20% without disabilities were undernourished. The median calorie consumed by children with disabilities was 1169.0 (946.5-1586.0) significantly lower compared to that of children without disability, that is, 1362.0 (1167.0-1641.0). The median protein consumed by children with disabilities was 28.0 (22.5-38.0) significantly lower compared to that of children without disability, that is, 32.0 (28.0-40.0).

CONCLUSIONS

Children with disabilities had similar rates of undernutrition as that of their non-disabled peers and their lesser dietary intake in terms of calories and proteins.

摘要

背景

与无残疾儿童相比，残疾儿童预计营养状况较差。然而，关于印度农村地区残疾和非残疾儿童营养状况的数据有限。

目的

评估和比较残疾儿童与非残疾儿童的营养状况。

方法

在卡纳塔克邦一所医学院的农村实践区域对5至15岁儿童进行了一项横断面研究。研究了290名年龄和性别相似的儿童（145名残疾儿童和145名非残疾儿童）。评估并比较了年龄和性别特异性的世界卫生组织（WHO）体重指数百分位数、24小时饮食卡路里和蛋白质摄入量。计算了定量变量的中位数和四分位间距。使用曼-惠特尼U检验评估两组之间定量变量的差异。

结果

根据WHO体重指数百分位数，33.1%的残疾儿童和37.20%的非残疾儿童营养不良。残疾儿童摄入的卡路里中位数为1169.0（946.5 - 1586.0），明显低于非残疾儿童，后者为1362.0（1167.0 - 1641.0）。残疾儿童摄入的蛋白质中位数为28.0（22.5 - 38.0），明显低于非残疾儿童，后者为32.0（28.0 - 40.0）。
