Common Malnutrition Problems

in the Philippines

•Protein -Energy Malnutrition (PEM) - A lack of energy and protein which results in growth redardation.

•Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) - A deficiency in iron wherein hemoglobin concentration is below the normal level which results in short attention span, reduced ability to learn and irritability.

Page 3: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

Common Malnutrition Problems in the Philippines

Vitamin A Deficiency (VAD) - Lack of vitamin A that may result to xeropthalmia (dryness of the eye), nightblindness (inability to see in dim light) eyes sensitive to bright light, rough dry skin and membranes of nose and throat , low body resistance to disease, poor growth, and blindness in severe cases.

Iodine deficiency Disorders (IDD) - Lack of iodine in the body which results in goiter, mental retardation, deaf-mutism, difficulty in standing or walking normally, and stunting of the limbs.

The Food Fortification Program RA 8976

Republic Act 8976 or the Food Fortification Act of 2000 was signed into law on November 7, 2000 for full implementation on November 7, 2004, to address the problem of micronutrient malnutrition

This law is complimentary to RA 8172 or the ASIN Law (An Act Promoting Salt Iodization Nationwide), passed in December 1995, mandating the iodization of all salt sold in the country.

Page 15: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

Key Provisions of the Law:

Rule IV: The Philippine Food Fortification Program

Sec. 1 – The Philippine Food Fortification Program shall cover all imported or locally processed foods or food products for sale or distribution, for human consumption in the Philippines.

Page 16: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

Key Provisions of the Law:

Sec. 2 – The Philippine Food Fortification Program shall consist of two systems:

•  Voluntary food fortification

•  Mandatory food fortification for specific food products enumerated in Sec. 6 of RA 8976 and those that may be required by the National Nutrition Council.

Page 17: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

Key Provisions of the Law:

Sec. 3 – The Implementing Rules and Regulations shall apply to all manufacturers, or producers, importers, traders, tollees, retailers, repackers of food products covered by Sec. 2 of Rule IV of the IRR, as well as restaurants and food service establishments where such food products are encouraged to be served.

Page 18: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

Sangkap Pinoy a term used by the DOH for micronutrients added to

food to enhance its nutritional quality These micronutrients are vitamin A, iron and iodine,

which cannot be synthesized by the human body, and therefore must be provided through the diet.

The intake of these micronutrients through the Filipino diet is often inadequate and is responsible for the micronutrient malnutrition afflicting a majority of the population.

Page 19: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

SANGKAP PINOY SEAL

Sangkap Pinoy Seal (SPS) is a mark of DOH recognition of a food product that is properly fortified with either vitamin A, iodine or iron or a combination of these micronutrients and that complies with regulations of the Bureau of Food & Drug (BFAD) of the DOH for quality, labeling and addition of fortificants.

starting 6 months old, use of iodized salt daily, Buying and eating fortified foods, brushing of teeth properly and regularly, letting children play safe toys no smoking in front of preschooler

Page 43: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

Marasmus speaks:

I am derived from a word meaning withering or wasting… Hence, my physical manifestations

are related to my meaning…

Page 44: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

Kwashiorkor reacts:

I come from the African language meaning “the sickness of the older child when the next

baby is born. This corresponds to the “weaning time of the older child.” Therefore, I am the result of the misfortune in the family…

Page 45: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

Etiology:

Marasmus-due to a diet very low in calories (CHO, fats

and protein)-BALANCED STARVATIONKwashiorkor-a deficiency of PROTEIN with adequate or

even excess of calories.

Page 46: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

Age Incidence:

Marasmus-often the result of unsuccessful BF or

insufficient BM supply with little or no other food given.

BF may be given on:a. Scheduledb. Per Demand

Page 47: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

Marasmus-failure to gain weight leads to loss of weight

which leads to emaciation-the face becomes shrunken (old man’s face),

muscle wasting best seen and felt at the buttocks, thighs , upper arms and scapular region (winged scapula)

Page 48: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

Kwashiorkor-usually occurs in a breastfed child until he is

weaned gradually into starchy diet, without high protein foods

-it is highly probable that deficiencies of other nutrients such as Vit. A, B complex, other minerals and etc. are frequent contributing factors

Page 49: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

Clinical Features

1. DiagnosticEdema-is a cardinal sign (meaning syndrome

should not be diagnosed in its absence) -1st detected at the anklegeneralized but more marked on the subcutaneous tissues of the dependent parts such as legs, forearms, penis, scrotum, the lower back, and the lower face (moonface)

Page 50: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

-protruding abdomen is due to hypotonia of the abdominal muscles and the intestine and edema of the abdominal wall

-muscle wasting can be demonstrated functionally by testing the infants ability to hold his head when gently pulled from a lying to a sitting position

Page 51: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

Psychomotor changes-looks miserable and does not smile-motor development is retarded

Irritability-psychological trauma d/t maternal withdrawal assoc. with weaning from the breast plays an impt. role

Page 52: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

Mental changes-1st 3 years of life is very critical in brain

development

Page 53: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

2. Common Signs-certain signs though not necessary for

diagnosis are common and are usually present singly or in combination

a. Hair changes-occasionally serve to indicate the duration of the deficiency: long scanty, pale,pluckability records a prolonged period of deprivation

Page 54: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

FLAG SIGN-alternate light and dark bands in the hair indicates alternating periods of protein adequacy and deprivation

b. Depigmentation of the skin-there is general lightening of the color of the pigment of the skin due to interference in melanogenesis

c. Anemia-nutritional anemia-the hemoglobin content of the blood is lower than the

prescribed value for a given age group as a result of deficiency of folic acid or B12 like hookworm infestation

Page 55: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

3. Occasional Signs of Kwashiorkora. Flaky Paint Rash or Enamel Dermatoses -seen in advanced cases; if present it is

pathognomonic of the disease -these are patches of skin turn reddish, then

purplish with macules and vesicleslater they become dry, peel off, leaving a raw, weeping areas like burns

Page 56: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

-seen mostly in the hidden parts of the body like buttocks, groins and trunk.

Grave Prognosis:Hepatomegaly-there is usually enlargement of

the liver which has a smooth surface and edge

Marasmus and Kwashiorkor are assoc. with Vit. A deficiency

Pathophysiology of Diarrhea in Malnutrition

Types of Diarrhea:1. Infectious Diarrhea2. Non- Infectious Diarrhea

Infectious Diarrhea- PCM inflicts profound damage on the GIT particularly the stomach and duodenum.

Page 62: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

Infectious Diarrhea-damage further the intestinal pits which has already been weakened by malnutrition

Vicious Cyclemalnutrition

malabsorptiondiarrhea

Page 63: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

2. Non-Infectious DiarrheaMalnutritionatrophy of the intestinal villi which

contains the brush borderdissacharide: Lactose) enzyme lactase is secreted in the outermost layer of the brush borderin severe casessucrase and maltase TOTAL DISSACHARIDE INTOLERANCE or malabsorption

Page 64: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

Lactose Intolerance-80% of the malnourished child. The intake of

regular milk which contains lactose promote and perpetuate diarrhea

Intake-1 hour after ingestion, vomiting, abdominal cramps.

Page 65: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

How to confirm the dx. Of lactose intolerance:Aspirate watery-portion of the feces and test for -ph, reducing substancepH=<6 acidicReducing substance= trace to +1

Page 66: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

TREATMENT OF PCM

1. Evaluate the Clinical Condition- determine the presence of any

medical emergency, make a clinical diagnosis and treat accordingly.

Page 67: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

Ex. Severe dehydration secondary to Infectious Diarrhea

Dehydration:

REPLACEMENTMild – 5% weight loss 50 ml/kg BWModerate – 10% weight loss 100ml/kg BWSevere – 15% weight loss 150ml/kg BW

Treat with antibiotics

Page 68: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

TREATMENT OF PCM

2. Assess the Nutritional Status- make Nutritional diagnosis

3. Rehabilitate the malnourished childa.) refer to malward if warranted

- institute medical and nutritional managementb.) home basis

- enroll in teaching programs if necessary

Page 69: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

TREATMENT OF PCM

4. Institute follow-up measures such as:Weighing Medical and nutritional advice Immunization, deworming , sanitation advice,

family planning advice food production information Income- generating activities

Page 70: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

HOW TO RE-INTRODUCE MILK FEEDINGS

Since early introduction of full-strength milk which contain lactose will provoke and perpetuate diarrhea, milk feedings should be resumed with extreme caution.

Page 71: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

After 2-3 days without milk, a very dilute mixture of milk preparation is given :

S26 or Bona 1:2 dilution

1 part milk : 2 parts water1:7 1:6 1:2 (1 – 2 days)By starting gradually, exacerbation of

diarrhea due to lactose intolerance is AVOIDED

HOW TO RE-INTRODUCE MILK FEEDINGS

Page 72: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

HOW TO RE-INTRODUCE MILK FEEDINGS

To increase the caloric content of the dilute milk, one may add sugar (sucrose or pure glucose) provided there is no intolerance to them.

For patients who are not tolerant to milk Re-feeding - Give NON LACTOSE FORMULA:

Al 110 – glucose Isomil and Nutratigen – sucroseSobee - DextrimaltoseNursoy – soya

Page 73: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

DIETARY MANAGEMENT OF MALNOURISHED CHILD

- the essence of dietary management is to give the child HIGH CALORIC, HIGH PROTEIN DIET aiming at 100 – 200 cal/kg BW/ day 4-8 gm protein/kg BW/ day mode: feed frequently

Page 74: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

DIETARY MANAGEMENT OF MALNOURISHED CHILD

NPO for 24 – 48 hours – IVF

50 – 75 cal/kg/day2 gm/kg/day of protein

No bouts of diarrhea

- Starting them on a full diet will definitely cause a relapse of their diarrhea:

Page 75: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

DIETARY MANAGEMENT OF MALNOURISHED CHILD

Increase 200 mg/day of caloriesIncrease protein 8gm/day

Until weight gain is OPTIMAL (2-4 weeks)

Maintain CHO = 110 – 120 cal/kg/dayPROTEIN = 4 – 8 gm/BW/day

Page 76: 243953 Malnutrition in the Philippines

DIETARY MANAGEMENT OF MALNOURISHED CHILD

PROGNOSIS: most of the clinical features and pathologic changes are REVERSIBLE but if SEVERE malnutrition occurs early in life, specially before 6 months of age, when psychomotor and brain development is critical the changes noted maybe IRREVERSIBLE.
