Nutritional status and dietary intake of the population aged 1-60 years during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Sri Lanka.
Background: There is a co-existence of different forms of malnutrition leading to a Triple Burden of Malnutrition (TBM) in Sri Lanka. Accessing basic needs and services was a challenge during COVID-19 pandemic, which led to issues in food security with an effect on nutrition status of the population.
Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of malnutrition and dietary intakes of the population aged 1 to 60 years. Methods: This study was conducted in 2021. A multistage cluster sample was drawn to represent households at national level using 75 clusters, and 24-hour dietary recalls were compared with estimated average requirements of different age groups. Height and weight of all selected participants were measured.
Results: A total of 1776 households and 2991 individuals were studied. The prevalence of wasting, stunting and overweight of children aged 1-4 years (n=486) was 14%, 16.3% and 0.8% respectively. Thinness, stunting, overweight and obesity of children aged 5-9 years (n=388) was 21.4%, 8.5%, 5.2%, 5.1%; children aged 10-17 years (n=355) was 21.1%, 14.1%,11%, 8.2%; and adults aged 18-60 years (n=1762) was 9.9%, 5.4%, 32.6% and 11.5% respectively. Dietary intake gaps were minimal with energy and protein while it was wider with majority of vitamins, iron and calcium. Stunting of children aged 1-4 years was significantly associated with the low calcium and iron intakes.
Conclusions: The presence of TBM amongst children and adults were observed with a dietary gap of essential micronutrients. This study highlights the need to re-orient the nutritional interventions to control TBM at population level.

The Ceylon Medical Journal, is the oldest surviving medical journal in Australasia. It is the only medical journal in Sri Lanka that is listed in the Index Medicus. The CMJ started life way back in 1887 as the organ of the Ceylon Branch of the British Medical Association. Except for a brief period between 1893 and 1904 when it ceased publication, the CMJ or its forbear, the Journal of the Ceylon Branch of the British Medical Association, has been published without interruption up to now. The journal"s name changed to the CMJ in 1954.
