Nutritional Status Research Articles

In previous decades, malnourishment was mainly due to excess food, but today it may be due to deficient nutrition because of increasingly precarious working conditions and unemployment, resulting in families finding it difficult to provide a sufficient number of meals of adequate quality. In April 2015, unemployment rates in the study populations were 13.64% in Centelles (C), 17.42% in Hostalets de Balenyà (HB), and 15.5% in Sant Martí de Centelles (SMC).1

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the term malnourishment refers to deficiencies, excesses, or imbalances in the intake of energy, proteins and/or other nutrients. Its meaning includes both malnutrition and overfeeding. By contrast, malnutrition is defined as a sustained food intake that is inadequate to meet energy requirements, a deficient absorption and/or a deficient biological use of the nutrients taken.2

Malnutrition during childhood has been related to school absenteeism, decreased school performance, and impaired mood and ability to relate to peers and the environment, which predisposes to school failure.3

In order to ascertain nutritional status, food quality, and the physical activity levels of schoolchildren from C, HB, and SMC, a study was conducted, designed by the pediatric, and the dietetic and nutrition team from EBA Centelles and called ALIN 2014.
