ARTICLE OF THE WEEK: Factors Correlated with the Competency of Barangay Nutrition Scholars in Cabuyao, Laguna in the Implementation of the Family MUAC Approach

A Barangay Nutrition Scholar (BNS) is a barangay-based volunteer tasked to identify and locate malnourished children (underweight, wasted and stunted, or obese) through an annual weight and height measuring activity, Operation Timbang (OPT) Plus. The mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), an activity used to detect acute malnutrition, is taken at the midpoint of the upper arm, between the tip of the shoulder (olecranon process) and the tip of the elbow (acromion). This anthropometric measure is used to detect malnutrition since it measures the upper arm composed of subcutaneous fat and muscle mass. Knowing the factors associated with the competency of the BNS can help in planning and reinforcing strategies for the effective and efficient implementation of the Family MUAC approach in the city by helping the local government plan interventions to address insufficiencies and provide more significant support in identifying and locating malnourished children, thus contributing to the country’s goal of reducing the prevalence of malnutrition.

ARTICLE OF THE WEEK: Influences of wealth index, family size, food security, and diet diversity status in the Growth of Filipino School-age Children in Farming Households

Good health and proper nutrition are already recognized to contribute to school-age children’s growth, development, and academic performance. Despite advocacy for health and nutrition services among school-age children, there still needs to be more evidence regarding the nutritional status of this group in developing countries. Most of the evidence was focused on the malnutrition issues of young children under five years of age. This age group was often omitted from health and nutrition surveys or surveillance, and their nutritional status was poorly documented.

Limited research has explored the determinants of height and weight among school-age children in farming households in the Philippines. Threats of undernourishment should be taken aggressively to prevent different consequences related to their growth and development and, eventually, future productivity. Therefore, investigating the determinants of physical growth among school-age children remains vital to designing an effective intervention strategy to alleviate this public health issue.

Furthermore, the findings of this study can be used as a basis for planning and designing sustainable nutrition-specific and sensitive interventions. Thus, this paper intends to identify factors affecting the height, weight, and body mass index of school-age children in farming households.
