| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Aiming at improvement of nutritional status among children less than five years old, we conducted a series of epidemiological studies to identify the risk for the malnutrition in a marginal area of Kenya. Analysis using data by 24 hours-recall method revealed no statistical association between dietary pattern and malnutrition. Further analysis using FFQ (Food Frequency Questionnaire) data is currently undergoing. Aflatoxin, that is reported to have relation with growth inhibition, was detected from maize corn in about 54% households. Anthropologically, we identified that mothers who took their children to growth monitoring program had an appropriate feeding practice to their children. Pregnant women registration and follow-up new born babies at medical institutions in the study area using cloud-based registration system developed during this study period.
