Abstract

Micronutrient deficiency is the another form of malnutrition. Nearly all deaths linked to micronutrient deficiency are due to a lack of iron, zinc or vitamin. A Present study was designed to assess the efficacy of the study nutritional intervention by monitoring various hematological parameters before and after the Nutritional Intervention treatment (NIT) and to find correlation of MCHC, MCH and MCV with blood sugar level in malnourished children and serum globulin. This was open label prospective parallel group active comparator interventional study, 105 Study and 100 control SAM(Severe Acute malnutrition)children of 1 to 5 years of age and either sex were randomly enrolled. Study group was given NIT, providing 2.5 to 3gm Protein and 90-100 kcal/kg body weight/day for three months. Hb,MCH,MCV,MCHC, Reticulocyte count and Blood sugar level (FF and PP),total protein, albumin and globulin of both groups were estimated before and after the NIT. Before NIT P value for Hb,MCH,MCV,MCHC,reticulocyte count and Blood sugar level (FF and PP) were insignificant and after NIT all were noted to be significant.The Correlations of sugar –FF with MCHC, and MCV as well as globulin with MCH were noted to be significant. The investigators conclude that study nutritional intervention is the effective food supplement for the recovery of impaired hematological and anemia status in SAM children while Sugar-F has significant correlations with MCV and MCHC similarly serum globulin has significant correlation with MCH.
