To generate baseline evidence regarding the nutritional and dietary diversity status of under-5 children and adolescent girls among forcibly displaced Myanmar nationals (FDMN) relocated to Bhasan Char relocation camp of Bangladesh.
Cross-sectional survey.
Bhasan Char relocation camp, Bangladesh, 7 November 2021-12 November 2021.
299 under-5 children (both male and female) and 248 adolescent girls (11-17 years) were surveyed.
Anthropometric indices and nutritional status of the study participants.
Nearly 17% of the adolescent girls were suffering from severe thinness/thinness, while 5% were overweight/obese. Severe thinness was more prevalent (2% vs 3.9%) in older adolescents (15-17 years) than their younger counterparts (11-14 years). The prevalence of severe stunting and stunting in adolescents were 14% (95% CI 11.21 to 16.87%) and 29% (95% CI 25.93 to 31.59%), respectively. One-third of the surveyed under-5 children were severely (8.50% (95% CI 5.60 to 11.33%)) or moderately (23.08% (95% CI 20.24 to 25.90%)) stunted, 27% were either severely (4.43% (95% CI 1.60 to 7.27%)) or moderately (22.98% (95% CI 20.15 to 25.81%)) underweight and 12% were severely (1.21% (95% CI 0.00 to 4.04%)) or moderately (10.88% (95% CI 8.05 to 13.72%)) wasted. The prevalence of moderate and severe acute malnutrition in children was low. Surveyed adolescents took a mean of 3.10 (SD 1.03) of nine food groups and 25% (95% CI 22.97 to 28.64%) of under-5 children took minimum diversified diet. The survey respondents mostly consumed carbohydrate-based poorly diversified diets. Nutritional status of the participants did not show any statistically significant association to the dietary diversity status.
A significant number of surveyed under-5 children and adolescent girls of relocated FDMN living in Bhasan Char of Bangladesh were suffering from thinness, stunting, underweight and wasting. Dietary diversity was poor among the surveyed population.
生成有关安置在孟加拉国 Bhasan Char 难民营的被迫流离失所的缅甸国民（FDMN）中 5 岁以下儿童和少女的营养和饮食多样性状况的基线证据。
横断面调查。
2021 年 11 月 7 日至 11 月 12 日，孟加拉国 Bhasan Char 难民营。
调查了 299 名 5 岁以下儿童（男童和女童）和 248 名少女（11-17 岁）。
研究参与者的人体测量指数和营养状况。
近 17%的少女患有严重消瘦/消瘦，而 5%的少女超重/肥胖。15-17 岁的大龄少女（2%）比年轻少女（11-14 岁）更普遍出现消瘦（3.9%）。青少年中严重发育迟缓的患病率为 14%（95%CI 11.21 至 16.87%），发育迟缓的患病率为 29%（95%CI 25.93 至 31.59%）。三分之一的受调查 5 岁以下儿童严重（8.50%（95%CI 5.60 至 11.33%））或中度（23.08%（95%CI 20.24 至 25.90%））发育迟缓，27%的儿童体重过轻，其中 4.43%（95%CI 1.60 至 7.27%）为严重体重过轻，22.98%（95%CI 20.15 至 25.81%）为中度体重过轻，12%的儿童严重（1.21%（95%CI 0.00 至 4.04%））或中度（10.88%（95%CI 8.05 至 13.72%））消瘦。儿童中中度和重度急性营养不良的患病率较低。调查的青少年平均食用了 9 种食物组中的 3.10（SD 1.03）种，25%（95%CI 22.97 至 28.64%）的 5 岁以下儿童食用了最低限度的多样化饮食。调查对象主要食用以碳水化合物为基础的饮食，多样化程度较低。参与者的营养状况与饮食多样性状况无统计学显著关联。
居住在孟加拉国 Bhasan Char 的安置流离失所的缅甸国民中，相当数量的 5 岁以下儿童和少女患有消瘦、发育迟缓、体重过轻和消瘦。调查人群的饮食多样性较差。
