Present study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of the nutritional intervention, in the SAM (Severe Acute malnutrition)children by monitoring various Anthropometric,Biochemical ,Hormonal and Enzymatic parameters before and after the nutritional intervention treatment.This study was also intended to study possible functional role of gene HRI (heme regulated inhibitor) as a molecular marker for the early detection of iron deficiency anemia in malnourished children similarly present study has also tried to find anthropometric marker and different correlations among study parameters.
In India, child malnutrition is responsible for 22% of the country's burden of disease. Development of local therapeutic nutritional intervention is highly recommended by WHO. Present study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of the nutritional intervention, as well as to study HRI (heme regulated inhibitor) gene expression, to suggest it as a molecular marker for the early detection of iron deficiency anemia in malnourished children also to find anthropometric marker and different correlations of study parameters.
105 test and 100 control SAM (Severe Acute malnutrition) children without infection, of 1 to 5 years of age and either sex were enrolled. Test group was given treatment of nutritional intervention therapy (NIT), providing 2.5 to 3gm Protein and 90-100kcal/kg body Weight/day, for the three months period. Their Anthropometric, Enzymatic, Biochemical and Hormonal parameters were measured before and after the NIT. Correlation of serum triglyceride with weight for height% , as well as correlation of HRI with Mean corpuscular hemoglobin,(MCH) was studied. Similarly status of Hairs, Skin, oedema, WHO z- score,and BMR was also studied before and after the NIT.

| Measurement of Anthropometric Parameters as a measure of improvement in malnutrition. | All the enrolled test group malnourished children have put on weight at a rate of 5 g/kg/day and their WHO z-score for weight and Height were improved from -3 to -1 Or Normal, as well as MUAC improved to normal and edema was absent. | 3 months |
| Measurement of biochemical Parameters as a measure of improvement in malnutrition. | The level of all blood parameters were noted to be improved from abnormal to normal level in the all enrolled test group malnourished children. | 3 months. |
| Measurement of expression of gene HRI (Heme Regulatory Inhibitor) as a measure of improvement in iron storage and malnutrion. | The expression of Gene HRI was noted to be down regulated in the all enrolled test group malnourished children. | 3 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Correlations among Anthropometric,Blood and Genetic parameters as a measure of strong or weak relationship. | There were improvements noted in the Anthropometric and Blood parameters,Gene HRI was also noted to be down-regulated | 3 months |
| ANOVA test and Regression as a measures of statistical marker. |
