DIETARY CALCIUM INTAKE AND SUNLIGHT EXPOSURE AMONG CHILDREN AGED 6-23 MONTHS IN DALE WOREDA, SOUTHERN ETHIOPIA
Nutritional rickets can be caused by either or both calcium and vitamin D deficiencies, and can frequently occur in Africa. In Ethiopia, limited evidence exists regarding the calcium intake of children and their sunlight exposure practices. The purpose of this study was to assess information regardi...

| description | Nutritional rickets can be caused by either or both calcium and vitamin
D deficiencies, and can frequently occur in Africa. In Ethiopia,
limited evidence exists regarding the calcium intake of children and
their sunlight exposure practices. The purpose of this study was to
assess information regarding dietary calcium intake and sunlight
exposure practice, which are factors related to nutritional rickets.
The study was conducted in Dale Woreda, Southern Ethiopia using a
community based cross-sectional survey design with both descriptive and
analytic components. A total of 170 children were selected using
multi-stage sampling technique. A structured questionnaire and an
interactive 24-hour dietary assessment method were used to collect data
on sociodemographic and economic information and to assess dietary
calcium intake of participant children. The Ethiopian food composition
table supplemented by world food data were used to convert dietary
intake into nutrient content. The mean (SD) age of the study children
was 14.4 (±4.7) months. The male to female ratio was 1.24. The
mean (± SD) calcium intake of participant children was 407 ±
235 mg/day; 26.5% had low dietary calcium intake compared with their
age specific recommended nutrient intake (RNI) value. Regarding
sunlight exposure, 41.1% participant mothers exposed their child to
sunlight within 1 (one) month of birth and 56.5% of study children were
exposed to sunlight for 20 to 30 minutes per day. In conclusion, the
risk of dietary calcium inadequacy was prevalent because of low intakes
by some children. Even if only 26.5% of participating children had low
dietary calcium intake, the children in the study area have some risk
of dietary calcium inadequacy due to the high content of phytate in the
prevailing complementary foods such as fruits and maize based
complementary food, which can inhibit bioavailability of calcium. The
participant children were not at risk of inadequate exposure to
sunlight because they had good exposure practices and there was no
sunlight avoidance practices among the majority of participant
children. |
