About this study
Official title: Study the Efficiency of Oral Nutritional Supplementation on Nutrition Status, Digestive Disorders, Respiratory Infection and Anorexic in Children Between 24 - 71 Months Old.

Read the detailed description
Evaluating the efficiency of using Oral Nutritional Supplementation toward the improvement of the anthropometric index (weight, height, weight for age Z-score, height for age Z-score, and weight for height Z-score ), nutrition status (the prevalence of wasting) in children aged 24 - 71 months after 3 months using the nutrient product.
Evaluating the efficiency of using Oral Nutritional Supplementation for digestive disorders and anorexic in children aged 24 - 71 months.

The nutrient product produces a high amount of energy that provides over 472kcal/100g; 15,6g/100g of protein; 20,8g/100 of fat; 55,6g/100g of carbonhydrate; 338mg/100g of alpha-Linolenic acid; 1800mg/100g of Linoleic acid; 19,7mg/100g of 2'FL HMO; 1088mg/100g of MCT; 2700mg/100g of FOS/Inulin; 55mg/100g of GOS; 1000mg/100g of Lysine; 687mg/100g of Calcium; 68mg/100g of Magnesium; 6,5mg/100g of Iron; 3,6/100g of Zinc; 41,9µg/100g of Manganese; 2176IU/100g of Vitamin A; 376 IU/100g of Vitamin D3; 44µg/100g of Vitamin K1; 820µg/100g of Vitamin B1; 900µg/100g of Vitamin B2; 610µg/100g of Vitamin B6; 1,92µg/100g Vitamin B12; 4140µg/100g of Acid Pantothenic; 115µg/100g of Acid Folic; 98,2 grams of the product, which equals 2 packs (230ml x 2 per day) will supply about 36,4% - 48,1% of the required energy for children aged 2-5 years old. Additional components include Alpha-Linolenic Acid, which provides 67% of the recommended dietary allowances (RDAs), Linolenic Acid 60, which provides 90% RDAs, and 25 other micronutrients and minerals that include some essential vitamins such as Calcium 112-114% RDAs, Iron 118-120.4% RDAs, Vitamin A 145-174% RDAs, Zinc 75-87% RDAs, Vitamin D3 62% RDAs, Seleni 53-63% RDAs, Vitamin K 63-73% RDAs, Folic Acid 76-115% RDAs. With other elements such as 2'FL HMO (19,7 mg), FOS/inulin (2700 mg), Choline ( 47 mg, Taurine 20 mg) , multi medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) (1088 mg), Bifidobacterium longum (109 CFU). The study will be conducted at schools and homes: 600 children erratically divided into 2 groups, 1 group will use the product for 3 months ( with the amount of use: twice per day, 49,2 grams each time). The product will be distributed to the students through the schools. Monitoring will be performed carefully by the commune and district Health Department and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention weekly. The study aims to evaluate the efficiency of nutrient products toward nutrition status ( anthropometric index, the prevalence of wasting), digestive disorders, and anorexic in children aged 24-71 months.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Improvement of Digestive Disorders and Anorexia Nervosa
Children in intervention group will have more improvement in the digestive disorders and anorexic than children control group
Measured: From date of using the product until the date of first documented improvement, assessed up to 3 months
Change in Weight (kg)
Weight is measured in kg with one decimal value by the Body composition analyzer TANITA scale. The scale is checked and adjusted before use. Children wear light clothing, remove shoes and sandals, and sit or lie balanced at the centre of the scale. When the balance is stable, read and write the result in kg and an odd number after the comma.
All data will be measured at the time T0 (at baseline) and T3 (after 3 months)
Measured: over 1 and 3 months
Change of Weight for Age Z-score
Change of average weight for age Z Score using the World's Health Organization (WHO) software Anthro and WHO AnthroPlus. Moreover, compare the difference between before intervention and after the intervention. A Z-score of 0 represents the population median. The standard deviations above the median represent a better outcome and vice versa.
Measured: over 1 and 3 months
Change of Weight for Height Z-score
Change of average weight for height Z Score using WHO Anthro and WHO AnthroPlus. Moreover, compare the difference between before intervention and after the intervention. A Z-score of 0 represents the population median. The standard deviations above the median represent a better outcome and vice versa.
Measured: over 1 and 3 months
Change in Height (cm)
A wooden stadiometer measures height by precisely 0.1cm. Children stand up straight, their eyes look straight, and the top of their head touches the wooden shelf fixed at a 0 cm position. The child's whole body ensures that 9 points touch the surface of the ruler: occipital, shoulder blade, buttocks, calf, and heel. The result is recorded in cm and an odd number after the comma.
All data will be measured at the time T0 (at baseline) and T3 (after 3 months)
Measured: over 1 and 3 months
Change of Height for Age Z-score
Change of average height for age Z Score using WHO Anthro and WHO AnthroPlus. Moreover, compare the difference between before intervention and after the intervention. A Z-score of 0 represents the population median. The standard deviations above the median represent a better outcome and vice versa.
Measured: over 1 and 3 months
Secondary outcomes (2)
Changes in the Rate of Children Have Gastrointestinal Diseases
Changes in the percentage of anorexia, the incidence of gastrointestinal diseases (diarrhea, constipation) after intervention
Measured: over 1 and 3 months
Changes in the Rate of Malnutrition and Risk of Underweight, Stunting and Wasting
Changes in the rate of malnutrition and risk of underweight, wasting and stunting after 1, 2 and 3 months of intervention
Measured: over 1 and 3 months
