The purpose for conducting the evaluation was to identify factors contributing
to deficient nutritional outcomes in 5 of 7 municipalities evaluated in 2002.
More specifically:
- Monitor the nutritional status of children under the age of 5 in areas prone
to drought.
- Develop a simple and inexpensive methodology to complement studies of food
safety.
- Practice the use of the brachial perimeter in nursing mothers and pregnant
women as a means to obtain a more comprehensive assessment of nutritional
needs.
Propósito/Objetivo:
- Monitorear el estado nutricional de los niños menores de cinco años en una
zona recurrente a sequías.
- Disponer de una metodología sencilla y económica que complemente estudios más
amplios de seguridad alimentaria.
- Practicar el uso del indicador del perímetro braquial en mujeres lactantes y
embarazadas con el fin de complementar la evaluación integral de las mujeres.
