448 ( 0.8 % ) low birth weight children of 54828
7.7 % of malnutrition in under one year
children
6.7 % malnutrition in age group of 1-3 years

n = 0.5 x ( 0.5 ) ( 1.96 / 0.05 )2
= 384.16 ( nearly 400 )
n = minimum required sample size
z = reliability coefficient ( 95 %
confidence
p = anticipated population ( p = 0.05 )
q = ( 1 – p )
d = required size of marginal error
( absolute precision 5 % point ) 14
15. • 4.6 Sampling method and procedure
• Simple random sampling method.
• children 5-10 years were obtained from the

44. The aim of the study was to determine the
nutritional status of ( 5 - 10 ) years children and also
knowledge and practice of mother concerned with
nutrition.
In our study ,
most of the care takers are the age of > 35 years
( 55.7 % )
( 25.0 % ) of the mother were low education and
( 46.0 % ) of mothers were median education level
less than 50000 kyats per month ( 32.9 %) and
50000-100000 kyats per month ( 5.5 % ) was the most
44
45. Family type ( 70.2% ). Total number of family
member, 265 ( 63.1 % ) of the family had < 5 family
members and 155 (36.9 %) of the family had > 5
family member.
Nutrition status of children
( 14.0 % ) were severe malnutrition
( 24.3 % ) were mild to moderate malnutrition and
( 61.7 % ) were normal
Normal height for age was ( 83.1 % ) and stunning
was ( 16.9 % ).
45
46. The study was carried out with the objectives of
nutritional status of 5 - 10 years children and practice
of their mothers on nutrition. A total population of
420, 5 - 10 years children were studied on nutritional
status using exploratory cross-sectional descriptive
study design from 1 . 2 . 2013 to 28 . 3 . 2013 in rural
areas in Magway region. The subjects were selected
by the simple random sampling and weighing the
children by bath room scale and asking the mothers
with structured questionnaires form.
46
47. In our study, prevalence of malnutrition among
5 - 10 years children were ( 24.3 % ) is mild to
moderate malnutrition, ( 14.0 % ) is severe
malnutrition and ( 61.7 % ) is normal nutritional
status.
According to height for age of children,( 81.1 % )
were normal and ( 16.9 % ) were stunning.
There is no significantly association between
occupation of mothers and weight for age and height
for age of children.
There is no significantly association between
knowledge score group of mothers and weight for age
and height for age of children. 47
48. 1 . Should to be raised assessment of child weight
and regular reporting for promotion of nutritional
status of children and to receive early diagnosis and
prompt treatment.
2 . Should to improved the educational status of
mothers in rural areas in Magway region, in the
provision of nutritional counseling about proper type
of wearing food, malnutrition diseases, nutritive value
of locally available foods.
3 . Should to be given health education to mothers
about how to child care.
48
49. 4 . Should to be educated mothers finely about food
habits for change mother’s attitude, traditional
culture, and belief, etc.
5 . Should to be encouraged birth spacing in the
family. Birth spacing may decrease family size and so
may reduce malnutrition.
