Abstract
Background: Milk contains essential nutrients that help can improve the growth and development of adolescent girls.
Objectives: The study determined the effect of milk consumption on the nutritional status of schoolgirls ages 10 to 12 years old in Magdalena, Laguna, Philippines.
Methodology: A quasi-experimental study design was used to determine the impact of daily consumption of 200 ml buffalo milk on the prevalence of undernutrition among the 57 schoolgirl participants before and after 160 days. One sample t-test and paired t-test were used to compare the actual and expected total increment and monthly changes in the height and body mass index (BMI) of the participants, while a one-way analysis of variance was used to compare the actual total changes in height and BMI by age. Factors that are correlated with these measurements were identified based on Spearman's correlation coefficients.
Results: The percentage of stunting (31.6%-22.8%) and thinness (21.1%-15.8%) decreased after the milk feeding. Significant differences were observed in the means of total actual and expected changes in height (P < .00) and BMI (P < .00). While there were significant differences in the means of actual and expected monthly changes in height every month, this was only observed in the first 2 months for BMI. Only the mean actual changes in height had significant differences when compared by age (P = .04). Lastly, the age and education of the father were found to be correlated with the height of the schoolgirls.
Conclusion: Buffalo milk consumption can improve the growth outcomes of schoolgirls.
背景:牛奶含有必需的营养物质,有助于促进青春期女孩的生长发育。目的:本研究确定了牛奶消费对菲律宾拉古纳马格达莱纳10至12岁女学生营养状况的影响。方法:采用准实验研究设计,确定每天饮用200毫升水牛奶对57名女学生在160天前后营养不良发生率的影响。采用单样本t检验和配对t检验比较受试者身高和体重指数(BMI)的实际和预期总增量及月变化,采用单因素方差分析比较年龄对身高和体重指数的实际总变化。与这些测量相关的因素是根据斯皮尔曼相关系数确定的。结果:母乳喂养后发育迟缓率(31.6% ~ 22.8%)和消瘦率(21.1% ~ 15.8%)下降。总实际高度变化和总预期高度变化的平均值有显著性差异(P P P = .04)。最后,发现父亲的年龄和教育程度与女学生的身高相关。结论:饮用水牛奶可以改善女学生的生长状况。
期刊介绍:
Nutrition and Metabolic Insights is a peer-reviewed, open-access online journal focusing on all aspects of nutrition and metabolism. This encompasses nutrition, including the biochemistry of metabolism, exercise and associated physical processes and also includes clinical articles that relate to metabolism, such as obesity, lipidemias and diabetes. It includes research at the molecular, cellular and organismal levels. This journal welcomes new manuscripts for peer review on the following topics: Nutrition, including the biochemistry of metabolism, Exercise and associated physical processes, Clinical articles that relate to metabolism, such as obesity, lipidemias and diabetes, Research at the molecular, cellular and organismal levels, Other areas of interest include gene-nutrient interactions, the effects of hormones, models of metabolic function, macronutrient interactions, outcomes of changes in diet, and pathophysiology.
