BACKGROUND
The School Feeding Programme if properly executed has the capacity to improve the nutritional status of the school children.
OBJECTIVE
To assess the nutritional status of school children in Ondo State Nigeria given that the National Home-Grown School Feeding Programme (NHGSFP) has been operational in the state for over five years.
METHODS
This was a descriptive cross-sectional study.
RESULTS
A total of 234 subjects from public schools and 227 subjects from private schools were enrolled in the study. Their mean age was 8.23 ± 1.92 years. Wasting, overweight, obesity, underweight, and stunting were noted in 19.4%, 11.4%, 0.4%, 5.0%, and 20.7% of the children, respectively. The prevalence of stunting (30.3%) and wasting (23.9%) was more among subjects from the public schools. A significant association was found between Weight-for-Age Z-score, Height-for-Age Z-score, and BMI-for-Age Z-score and the children's school type (p < 0.005).
CONCLUSION
Majority of the children showed normal growth, the rest were in both extremes of malnutrition, the subjects from private schools seem to present better nutritional status, although there is no baseline data to ratify this finding. A further study on this subject using the current finding as a baseline data is recommended.
背景
如果实施得当，学校供餐计划有能力改善学童的营养状况。
目的
评估尼日利亚翁多州学童的营养状况，因为国家本土学校供餐计划（NHGSFP）在该州已经运作了五年多。
方法
这是一项描述性的横断面研究。
结果
共有 234 名来自公立学校的学生和 227 名来自私立学校的学生参与了这项研究。他们的平均年龄为 8.23 ± 1.92 岁。分别有 19.4%、11.4%、0.4%、5.0%和 20.7%的儿童出现消瘦、超重、肥胖、体重不足和发育迟缓。公立学校学生中发育迟缓（30.3%）和消瘦（23.9%）的比例更高。体重与年龄 Z 评分、身高与年龄 Z 评分和体重与年龄 BMI 评分与儿童所在学校类型之间存在显著关联（p<0.005）。
结论
大多数儿童的生长状况正常，其余儿童处于营养不良的两个极端，私立学校的学生营养状况似乎更好，尽管没有基线数据来证实这一发现。建议对此主题进行进一步的研究，将当前的发现用作基线数据。
