초록

This study was to investigate effects of the Nutrition-Plus program carried out from 2009 through June 2010 in Naju region. A candidate for the recipient of the program was a low income dweller possessing any of nutritional risk factors such as anemia, low weight, growth defects, malnutrition, etc. The subjects were composed of 34 infants and 139 children under age 6 and their mothers. We performed, before and after the program, body measurements, blood tests, dietary assessments, and surveys on nutrition knowledge and dietary behaviors. The results were as follows. The number of infants and children possessing risk factors in body measurements were significantly decreased to 17.9% from 57.1%. The prevalence rate of anemia was reduced significantly to 35% from 74% in the infants and to 8% from 50% in the children. The level of nutrition knowledge on 10-point scale is increased from 8.21±1.61 to 9.09±1.22 in infant mothers and from 6.71±1.69 to 8.20±1.34 in child mothers. The dietary behavior was also improved, on 60-point scale, from 53.41±5.49 to 55.44±4.31 in infant mothers and from 49.97±5.08 to 53.01±4.90 in child mothers. The study shows that providing low-income groups with high quality food and education about nutrition will result in positive effects on the growth of infants and children.
