Data Analysis for Quick Assessment of Nutrition
- Beschreibung
To provide the appropriate handling for the nutrition problem, it is necessary to determine the nature, magnitude and causes of malnutrition. Its need the quick measurement to assess the general condition for the further treatment. Some software have been developed to provide the easy handling and operation in the field. Some of them is Nutrisurvey/EBISpro and CIMI.
The program helps in preparing a suitable questionnaire, in entering the data and in evaluating the results. The main purpose of the software is to integrate all steps of a Nutrition Baseline Survey into a single program. The program contains a standard Nutrition Baseline questionnaire which can easily be customized for the specific site, a function for printing out the questionnaire, a data entry unit which controls the data being entered, a specially adapted plausibility check, a report function and a graphics section. The report function enables one to produce with one click the full set of descriptive statistics of a baseline survey and the graphics section contains in addition to the standard graphs specially designed graphics for the anthropometric indices with comparison to the NCHS standard. The anthropometric indices (Z-scores of height-for-age, weight-for-height, weight-for-age) and the prevalence of stunting, wasting, underweight and overweight of children are calculated automatically. For further statistical evaluation the data can be exported to SPSS or any other statistical program.
The result of those programs may differs, so its need more comprehensive data analysis to be able to describe more detail about the nutritional fact. The comparison with other standard like the guideline from WHO helps to describe the gaps and limitation of each program.
