Abstract:
:Growth monitoring and nutritional assessment, as means to detect malnutrition, are 2 different types of programs in terms of conception, purposes, and execution. Growth monitoring starts as detection of malnutrition, then acts through prevention by communication to mothers, and finally utilizes community participation in total primary care. Nutritional assessment is a tool used to measure undernutrition. mainly in children. Emphasis is on curative or supplemental measures. Those children that are malnourished due to infections, low quality diet, poor breastfeeding, or maternal high fertility tend to have markedly stunted physical growth. Growth promotion, as a preventative strategy, relies on the cooperation of the mother to monitor and communicate stunting of her children. Growth Monitoring and Promotion (GMP) has recently been well defined at an Indian national meeting. GMP is preventative, promotive, and preemptive; it focuses on behavioral change; it works with the child's complete environment; and it affords responsibility to the mothers. GMP starts when a child is very young, before nutritional assessments determine the existence of malnutrition, and it creates an interactive community pertaining to health care.
