FOREWORD
The Institutes fervent commitment to its mission to fight malnutrition in its various
forms with accurate and timely data/information and innovative technologies is once
again proven with the publication of this document: The Philippine Nutrition Facts
and Figures, 2011 barely a year after the end of the data collection of the 2011
survey entitled Updating of Nutritional Status of Filipino Children and Other
Population Groups. The Survey started in June 2011 and ended December 2011.
This milestone underscores the dedication, commitment, hardwork and courage of
the Survey Team of the Nutritional Assessment and Monitoring Division (NAMD) of
the Institute who is given the difficult task to undertake nutrition surveys at a national
scale every 2 to 3 years.
With great sense of fulfillment, it is always the pleasure of FNRI to serve its various
stakeholders, advocates and institutions (government and non-government) that
share the Institutes vision of OPTIMUM NUTRITION for all Filipinos.
We fervently hope that the data and information presented in The Philippine
Nutrition Facts and Figures, 2011 will translate to more intensive as well as
proactive efforts of governments, both national and local and its partners
(convergence), particularly the private sector, to make our nutrition
programs/services work effectively at the grassroots. In consequence, more children
will be saved from the bondage of inter-generational cycle of undernutrition and its
negative effects on their physical, intellectual and economical productivity in later life.

DEFINITION OF TERMS
Low Birthweight
a newborn weighing less than 2,500 grams or 2.5 kg. ( RA

7600)
Body Mass Index

(BMI)
an indicator of nutritional status of adults twenty years of

age and above expressed as body weight in kilograms
divided by the square of the height in meters. It provides a
measure of body mass, ranging from thinness to obesity.
The normal range is from 18.5 24.9 Kg/m2.
Breastfeeding
a method of feeding an infant directly from the breast (RA

7600).
Breastmilk
the human milk from a mother. ( RA 7600)
Chronic Energy
Deficiency (CED)
a condition of the body characterized by low body weight

relative to height and low energy stores due to deprivation
of food over a long period of time. CED is determined by
body mass index (BMI) <18.5 as the cut- off and is
associated with lower physical work capacity.
Colostrum
first milk secreted from the breast after childbirth, usually

yellowish in color, rich in protein and antibodies for the
child.
Complementary
Foods
any food, whether manufactured or locally prepared,

suitable as a complement to breast milk to satisfy the
nutritional requirements of the infant. Such food is
commonly called weaning food or breast milk
supplement (EO 51).
Exclusive
Breastfeeding
Method where infant receives nothing else but breast milk

(including expressed breast milk or breast milk from a wet
nurse) with the exception of oral rehydration solution
(ORS), drops, syrup (vitamins, minerals and medicines)
(WHO-UNICEF, 2008).
Expanded Program on
Immunization (EPI)
a DOH program to reduce infant mortality and morbidity

through decreasing the prevalence of TB, diphtheria,
pertussis, tetanus, polio and measles through
immunization.
Immunization
giving of vaccinations such as DPT, OPV and measles to

infants or children. Not all immunizations are given thru
vaccines, OPV is oral.
Feeding Practices
collective term for all feeding practices included in the

study. This includes: a) exclusive brestfeeding, b)
breastfeeding plus complementary food, c) other milk (as
breastmilk substitute), d) other milk and other food, and e)
other foods.
Formula Milk
artificial milks for babies made out of a variety of products,

including sugar, animal milks, soybeans and vegetable oil.
They are usually in powder form, to mix with water.(EO 51)
Height-for
Age/Length-for-Age
an indicator that is used to determine past or chronic

nutritional status where the childs actual height/length is
compared with the standard or reference height/length for
his age. If the childs height/length falls below this
standard or reference height/length, the child is stunted.
Height-for-length is the indicator used for children, 2 years
old and above, while (recumbent) length-for-age is the
indicator used for children below 2 years old (0-23
months).
Height/Length
refers to the measurement of both total stature and trunk

length, which has four components namely: legs, pelvis,
spine and skull. Standing height is measured for subjects
who are 2 years old and above using a microtoise
attached to a smooth flat surface while recumbent length
is measured for children less than 2 years old (0-23
months old) using an infantometer.
Infantometer
a wooden length board used to take recumbent length

(crown of the head to heel length) of infants and preschool-age children below 2 years old (0-23 months).
Iodized Salt
ordinary salt to which iodine has been added according to

the guidelines set by the Bureau of Food and Drugs
(BFAD).
Microtoise
a measuring instrument for standing height (stature) of

individuals, 2 years and above. It consists of an L-shaped
device (the head bar) to which is attached a spring-loaded
coiled tape measure. In use, the head-bar is placed
securely on the floor and the tape is fully drawn out. The
free end of the tape is secured with a nail to a suitable
vertical surface directly above the headbar or securely
taped against the wall. The head bar is then raised above
the height of the subject.
Nutrient
Supplementation
a government intervention program where micro-nutrients

such as Vitamin A, iron and iodine are usually given to
children, pregnant and lactating women on the National
Micronutrient Day spearheaded by DOH. Children age 1 to
5 years are given high dose of vitamin A capsules. (DOH
AO 3 As. 2000)
Nutrition Education
a government intervention program aimed to influence

behaviour among mothers/caregivers towards adoption of
more positive nutrition related practices, eating nutritious
and safe foods. This includes participation/attendance in
nutrition classes, food demonstrations and discussions.
xi
Nutritional Status
the condition of the body resulting from the intake,

absorption, and utilization of food. Clinical examinations,
biochemical analyses, anthropometric measurements, and
dietary studies are used singly or in combination to
determine this condition.
Operation Timbang
a government intervention program where children under 6

years old are weighed in barangay by trained nutrition
worker once a year (usually between January to March)
Orally Fit Child

Program
is DOH and LGUs are implemented program for under 6

years old aimed to develop of positive behaviour such as
tooth brushing and dental care that would relieve pain and
discomfort due to dental caries. Services under this
program include filling of cavities, extraction of unsavable
tooth and treatment of post-operative infections (Oral
Health Program DOH, 2007-0007).
Other foods
practice where a child is solely taking other foods without

other milk. (EO 51)
Other milk
refers to other milk given to replace breast milk. This

includes commercial formula.(EO 51)
Other milk and other

foods
a method where a child is fed with other milk and other

foods.(EO 51)
Overweight
refers to above normal weight body weight relative to

height, with a body mass index (BMI) of 25 to 29.9.
Predominant
Breastfeeding
a feeding practice for infants where breastmilk (including

milk expressed or from a wet nurse) is the predominant
source of nourishment and certain liquids (water, waterbased fluids, fruit juice), ORS, vitamins and medicines are
allowed to be consumed (WHO-UNICEF, 2008).
Stunting
reflects a shortness-for-age, an indicator of chronic

malnutrition and calculated by compairing the height-forage of a child with a reference population of well nourished
and healthy children.
Undernutrition
an abnormal state resulting from the consumption of an

inadequate quantity of food over an extended period of
time. It is manifested by underweight, stunting, or growth
retardation, and in severe cases, clinical signs of
marasmus or kwashiorkor.
Underweight
refers to people with a body mass index (BMI) of under

18.5 or a weight of 15 to 20% below that normal for their
age and height group. It is measured using weight-for-age
as an index. It indicates current malnutrition.
Wasting or Thinness
a condition where the childs weight is lower than that of a

normal child of the same height. It is measured using
weight-for-height as an index.
It indicates acute
xii
malnutrition.
Weight
refers to the total or exact amount of heaviness of an

individual, mainly made up of muscles, fat, bone and
internal organs with the addition in
pathological
circumstances of edema, ascites, massive organ
enlargement and even the helminth burden in severe
ascariasis. Measured using a calibrated beam balance or
Detecto weighing scale, recorded to the nearest 0.1 kg.
Weight-for-Age
the simplest and most common indicator for the

assessment of growth. It compares the weight of an
individual to a standard or reference weight-for-age. This
indicator is useful for rapid screening because it combines
acute and chronic malnutrition.
Weight-for-height
an indicator for the assessment of growth. It compares the

weight of an individual to the weight of a reference
population of the same height (or length). Weight-forheight is an expression of leanness.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As the nations premier research and development institute in food and nutrition and
true to its mission to provide accurate and timely data, the Food and Nutrition
Research Institute, Department of Science and Technology (FNRI-DOST) have
undertaken the fifth of a series of Updating Surveys entitled 2011 Updating of the
Nutritional Status of Filipino Children and Other Population Groups from June
to December 2011. The Updating Survey along with the National Nutrition Surveys
are designated statistical activities that generate critical data on food, nutrition and
health status of the population for decision making of both the government and
private sector (EO 352). This mandate was given in due recognition to the wealth of
relevant information generated from the nationwide nutrition surveys which FNRI
regularly undertakes in adherence to its first mandate (EO 128) to undertake
research that defines the citizenrys nutritional status with reference particularly to
malnutrition problem, its causes and effects, and identify alternative solutions.
Since 1978 and five years thereafter, the Institute conducts the NNS, and the
Updating Survey as follow-up survey in between the NNS. The NNS and the
Updating Survey continue to evolve by integrating other relevant nutrition and health
variables to meet the growing needs of its stakeholders and in response to the new
and emerging health/nutrition problems.
Results of these nutrition surveys particularly the prevalence of underweight among
the under fives and the proportion of population below minimum level of dietary
energy requirements are used to track the countrys progress towards its
achievement of the first target of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals
(MDG) which is extreme poverty and hunger. Furthermore, results indirectly provide
vital information on other targets of the MDGs such as child mortality and
improvement of maternal health. Likewise, data continue to provide important
statistics in non-communicable diseases and risk factors, and micronutrient
malnutrition (MDGs plus). These data are vital inputs in designing
strategies/approaches in curtailing the health and economic consequences of
nutrition/lifestyle-related diseases as well as curbing micronutrient deficiencies in the
country.
Responsive to the growing need for other relevant nutrition data and in recognition of
the important role of maternal nutrition on childrens nutritional status, specifically,
the first 1,000 days, the 2011 Updating Survey included a module on Maternal
Nutrition along with the original modules on Anthropometry, Infant and Young Child
Feeding Practices, Government Program Participation of Households and Children,
Food Insecurity and Socio-Economics. The 2003 Master Sample of the National
Statistics Office (NSO) which is a multi-stage stratified sampling design was used in
the household selection. A total of 3,136 enumeration or survey areas, 38,894
households and 198,022 individuals from the 17 regions and 79 provinces in the
country including NCR were covered.
The primary objective of the 2011 Updating of Nutritional Status is to provide a

continuing flow of updated information on the nutritional status of Filipino children and
other population groups, as well as other nutrition related information. Specifically, it
aimed to: 1) determine the nutritional status of children 0-10 years old and other
population groups using standard techniques; 2) determine changes in feeding
practices of infants and young children, 0-23 months old; 3) determine maternal
nutrition among mothers with children 0-5 years old, as well as pregnant women and
lactating mothers; 4) determine participation of households and children in nutrition
and nutrition-related government programs; 5) determine food insecurity among
households, adults and children; and 5) determine household awareness and usage
of iodized salt.
The 2011 Survey consisted of six components/modules namely: 1) Anthropometric;
2) Infant and Young Child Feeding Practices; 3) Maternal Nutrition; 4) Government
Program Participation; 5) Food Insecurity; and 6) Socio-Economic. For each module,
descriptive statistics were generated and these modules when analyzed collectively
provides a holistic picture of the nutrition situation in the country as well as its
determinants. This report presents the descriptive results of all survey components.
The problem of undernutrition among Filipino children 0-10 years old and other
population groups including the pregnant women and lactating mothers remained
unchanged for nearly 2 decades. Among children 0-5 years, more children were
stunted than underweight, although the prevalence of both forms of undernutrition
was still prevalent at high level. Wasting was serious. Stunting denotes chronic
undernutrition while wasting is a manifestation of acute undernutrition. For children 610 years old, stunting remained at high level, but the magnitude of underweight was
very high (prevelance > 30.0%). Overweight on the other hand, for both groups of
children was low, but is slowly and continuously increasing over the years.
Disaggregating by age, both prevalence of underweight and stunting were increasing
with age with the increase glaringly notable after the 5 th month of life and continued
until the 3rd year. For underweight, the increases across age groups were almost
equal, however, the prevalence of stunting increase more than 2 times on the first
year of life from the 6-11 months. Among the 1-3 years old, the prevalence of
stunting was at very high level (prevalence > 30.0%). The effect of stunting is
irreversible where poor intellectual development and work/economic productivity is
one of the serious repercussions.
Among adolescents, stunting was a problem of 1/3 of the population and remained
unchanged since 2003. Of the adult population (20 years old and above),
overnutrition more than under nutrition was the problem. Chronic energy deficiency
(CED) is indicative of undernutrition among adults and result shows that the
prevalence of CED adults is lower by more than half compared with the prevalence of
overweight and obese adults. Furthermore, prevalence of overweight and obese
adults is continuously increasing since 1993 while prevalence of undernutrition is
inversely declining. Results likewise revealed that CED is common among adults
below 20 years old and 70 years old and above. Conversely, overweight and obesity
were increasing with age and highest among the 30 to 69 years old.
Obesity based on waist circumference and waist-hip ratio was more pronounced
among females than males and highest among female 40 years and above. More
than half of female adults 30 years old and above had high waist-to-hip ratio
indicating that women in these age groups have wider hipline than waistline
suggestive of android obesity type. Obesity is a serious public health problem as it
increases risk of individuals to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) which is
emerging and is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the country.
For pregnant women, 25% were at risk of delivering low birth weight babies and other
pregnancy complications because they are not gaining the desired weight relative to
gestational age. This state of undernutrition was highest among pregnant women
who were still in their teen years (below 20 years old). Among lactating mothers,
overweight was more of a problem than underweight among mothers 20 years old
and above.
For the component module on infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices the
WHO and UNICEF global indicators were used. A total of 6,653 children under two
years of age were covered where almost half (48.7%) of children were 12-23 months
old, 27.4% were 6-11 months and 24% were 0-5 months. Results showed positive
gains in breastfeeding practices based on increased proportion of children 0-5
months old currently being exclusively breastfeed (46.7%) and longer duration of
exclusive breastfeeding (3.7 months) and ever breastfeeding (7.7 months) compared
with the previous survey.
Moreover, there is an indication that the type and place of delivery, as well as the
timing of initiation to breastfeeding are factors affecting exclusive breastfeeding.
Results revealed that there was higher proportion of children currently exclusive
breastfeeding among children delivered normally, those delivered in governmentowned health facilities and those initiated to breastfeeding following the prescribed 1
hour after delivery than those delivered by caesarian section, those delivered in nongovernment health facilities and those not immediately initiated to breastfeeding after
delivery.
The reasons cited by mothers for stopping breastfeeding were inadequate milk flow
(32.4%) and have to work (20.3%), while the reason for giving prelacteal feed was no
milk flow (62.2%) for the first few days after delivery. On the choice of what is the first
food given to children, mothers identified popularity of the baby food/product (32.3%)
and convenience (15.2%) as reasons for choosing the first introductory food.
In terms of complementary foods, the dietary diversity score was used to determine
diversity and quality of diet. Results showed that foods given to almost all children 611 months was not diverse, and only 26.1% of the 12-17 months and 33.4% of the
18-23 months were meeting the recommended minimum dietary diversity score of 4
food groups and minimum acceptable diet.
For nutritional status of mothers with children 0-5 years old, underweight mothers
were noted in the 20-29 years age bracket (12.0%), those without formal schooling
(13.5%) and not working (10.0%) at the time of the Survey. Furthermore, increasing
number of children consequently increases the proportion of underweight mothers.
Moreover, mothers who are underweight or chronically energy deficient (CED) are
more likely to deliver low birth-weight babies than mothers who are not CED.
In terms of nutrition knowledge, mothers are familiar or aware of nutrition and health
related disorders like anemia, iodine deficiency disorders or goiter, hypertension and
Diabetes Mellitus among others. However, lower proportions lack the appropriate
knowledge on appropriate feeding of infants and children in order to achieve optimum
nutrition of children early in life. Results revealed that only 31.1% and 26.5% of
mothers were knowledgeable on the first 6 months of exclusive breastfeeding and
introduction of complementary foods on the 6 th month respectively.
On access/coverage of health services/nutrition programs implemented by
government, high coverage of pre-school children 0-48 months in Expanded Program
of Immunization was noted. Likewise, participation in deworming program was low as
only 66.3% of the target children 1-5 years old were dewormed. This is contrary to
the mass deworming guidelines of the program. The Essential Health Care Program
of DepEd such as hand washing is remarkably practiced by school age children 6-12
years old except for regular tooth brushing.
Free Medical Services and having discount cards under the Senior Citizen Program
among households with 60 years old members were availed by more than 60% of
sample households. Household awareness of iodized salts remained unchanged,
usage however sharply increased. About 80% of household salts were tested to be
iodized as these salts changed in color, from white to pink/violet, when tested with
the MBI Rapid Test kit. Of these salts, 54.5% had an iodine content of more than 15
parts per million (ppm).
To re-assess food insecurity in the country, the 10 Radimer-Cornell food insecurity
items/statements was used. Four of the items/statements were used to assess
household food insecurity and a set of three was used to assess individual food
insecurity based on the experience of the household respondent and children.
Of the 21,484 households with children 0-10 years old covered in the survey, 69.3%,
36.0% and 22.9% were food insecure households, adults and children, respectively.
The most common experience of food insecure adults and children was skipped
eating or missed meals.
Across regions, ARMM significantly had the highest percentage of food insecure
households, adults and children. Among provinces, the top 5 with highest percentage
of food insecure households were Lanao del Sur, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi and Maguindanao.
The same provinces had likewise highest percentage of food insecure adults and
children.
Recognizing the importance of the first 1000 days of life as a window of opportunity
to arrest undernutrition and improve childrens present and future nutrition/health
status and economic productivity respectively, it is imperative to focus policy/program
in improving maternal health and nutrition to break the vicious inter-generation cycle
of undernutrition. The services under Maternal and Child Health and Nutrition
(MCHN) like pre-and post-natal care and supplementation should be intensified at
the local level.
The poor knowledge of mothers on appropriate infant feeding particularly exclusive
breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life and introduction of appropriate
complementary foods on the 6th months is potential area for intervention to intensify
during nutrition education in mothers class, mass media and through school
curriculum to prepare and capacitate future mothers and fathers with the right
knowledge on breastfeeding and role and support to breastfeeding, respectively.
CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Background
The Food and Nutrition Research Institute, Department of Science and Technology
(FNRI-DOST) is the premier R and D agency in food and nutrition in the country.
Through EO 128, the Institute is mandated to conduct researches that define the
nutritional status of the citizenry, its causes and effects, and based on the results,
identify alternative solutions to it. Along with this mandate, one of the major thrusts of
FNRI is the regular conduct of the National Nutrition Survey (NNS) every five years
and the Updating Survey in-between the NNS. The first NNS was undertaken in
1978.
With the wealth of relevant information generated from the surveys, in July 1996, the
nutrition surveys was designated as one of the statistical activities in the country that
will generate critical data for decision making of both government and private sector
at the national and sub-national levels.
The 2011 Updating of Nutritional Status of Filipino Children and other Population
Groups is the fifth in a series of updating surveys that was started twenty years ago,
the first being done in 1989-90. The Survey was undertaken for six (6) months, from
June to December 2011, by courageous and dedicated men and women of the
Institute. Like its predecessor, all regions and provinces in the country were covered
with the exception of Batanes because during the time of data collection, the weather
condition in the northern part of the country was unpredictable.
In response to the growing need for other relevant nutrition data, the 2011 Updating
Survey included a module on Maternal Nutrition along with the original modules on
Anthropometry, Infant and Young Child Feeding Practices, Government Program
Participation of Households and Children, Household Food Insecurity and SocioEconomics. The 2003 Master Sample of the National Statistics Office (NSO) which is
a stratified multi-stage sampling in design was used.
The data and information gathered from the survey is used as a basis for monitoring
progress of various nutrition intervention as well as development programs such as
Poverty Alleviation Programs, Food Security, infant feeding and the reformulation of
the Medium Term Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition (MTPPAN) to name the most
important ones. The results on the nutritional status of children under five years old
is used to monitor the countrys progress to its commitment to the United Nations
Millennium Development Goals target of reducing extreme poverty and hunger in
2015.
To improve the timely delivery of survey results at the national down to the provincial
level, the 2011 Updating Survey developed and used a web-based Data Entry
System, where data encoding was done after field data collection and editing of
accomplished survey questionnaires. The encoded data were immediately
transmitted electronically from the field to the central office where it was validated
against the questionnaires and check for consistency.
This breakthrough in data collection system facilitated the early release of survey
results to various stakeholders at the national and sub-national levels. In April, 2012,
three (3) months after the culmination of the Survey, the first Nutrition Summit
showcasing the nutritional status of children 0-10 years old, infant and young child
feeding practices and participation of children to nutrition and related programs in the
country was presented. Then, the series of Regional Disseminations followed in all
regions of the country including the National Capital Region. In these fora, all the
major variables disaggregated at the regional and provincial level were presented to
the regional/provincial nutrition/health and development planners and managers.
After the presentation, the participants in a workshop, developed and/or revised their
regional development plans based on the results presented.
Another milestone of the 2011 Updating Survey is the publication of the 2011
Philippine Nutrition Facts and Figures within a year after the Survey where the full
details of the Survey as well as all results are documented. One of the strengths of
the 2011 Nutrition Facts and Figures is the generation of the provincial disaggregated
data of major nutrition variables. An offspring of this 2011 Facts and Figures is the
Philippine Regional Nutrition Facts and Figures where a holistic snapshot of the
region and its provinces in terms of nutrition, food and health situation are presented
using the combined results of the 2011 Updating Survey and the 7 th National
Nutrition Survey, 2008. The objective of this endeavour is to make survey results
relevant to local level planning.
The Philippine Nutrition Facts and Figures 2011, presents the descriptive analysis of
all major variable collected in the Survey cutting across all components/modules.
Objectives of the Survey

The 2011 Updating Survey of Filipino Children and Other Population Groups aimed
to provide a continuing flow of updated information on the nutritional status of Filipino
children and other population groups, as well as other nutrition related information.
Specifically it aimed:
1. To determine the nutritional status of 0-10.0 years old children, 10.08-19.0
years old children,19.08 years old adults and over, pregnant women and
lactating mothers using standard techniques;
2. To determine changes in feeding practices of infants and young children, 0-23
months old;
3. To determine maternal nutrition among mothers with children 0-5 years old,
as well as pregnant women and lactating mothers;
4. To determine household and children participation in nutrition and nutritionrelated government programs;
5. To determine the magnitude of food insecurity among households, adults and
children; and
6. To determine household awareness and usage of iodized salt.
10
Survey Components/Modules
The 2011 Updating Survey consisted of different components/modules, namely:
A. Anthropometric Component/Module contains the weight and height
measurements of all members of the households as well as the
measurements of waist and hip circumferences of adults members (20 years
old and above) to determine prevalence of underweight, stunting, wasting and
overweight among children 0-10 years old and prevalence of chronic energy
deficiency (CED), overweight and obesity among adults, respectively. The
prevalence of nutritionally at-risk pregnant women is also determined.
B. Infant and Young Child Feeding Component/Module contains
information on the current infant and young child feeding practices of Filipino
mothers for their children 0-23 months old. This module also contains
checklists of foods consumed by the subjects during the past day and the
type of food consumed and diet diversity.
C. Maternal Nutrition Component/Module - contains information regarding the
socio-demographic and reproductive characteristics of Filipino mothers with
0-5 years old children and health seeking behavior of mothers during
pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum.
D. Government Program Participation Component/Module includes
information on participation/access to government health and related
programs of sample households, children, pregnant women and lactating
mothers.
E. Food Insecurity Component/Module includes gathers data on food
insecurity at household and individual levels and coping mechanisms and
strategies adopted by households in times of limited food and money to buy
food.
F.
Socio-Economic Component/Module collects socio-economic and

demographic characteristics of households and members.

Sampling Design
The 2011 Updating Survey adopted the 2003 Master Sample (MS) of the National
Statistics Office (NSO), wherein four (4) replicates of the 2004 Labor Force Survey
was utilized. The master sample is a stratified multi-stage sampling design, covering
all regions and provinces of the country. The first stage of sampling is the selection of
Primary Sampling Units (PSUs), where a PSU is defined as a barangay (village) or
contiguous barangays with at least 500 households. This is then followed by the
selection of Enumeration Areas (EA) from the PSUs. An EA is a contiguous area in a
barangay or a barangay with 150-200 households. The ultimate sampling unit is the
household (Barcenas, 2004).
The 2011 Updating Survey used the list of sampled households from the four
replicates of the 2004 Labor Force Survey. A replicate is defined as a sub-sample
that possesses the properties of the full master sample, such that each replicate can
generate national level estimates with adequate precision. The survey covered all of
the four replicates and 100% of the sampled households, allowing the generation of
provincial estimates of major nutrition variables. Figure 1 shows the process of
selection of the master sample.
While the household is the final-stage sampling unit, all members of each sample
household were included in the Survey for parameters that needs to be analyzed at
the individual level. Post-stratification by age and sex was done to provide estimates
of malnutrition prevalence for various population groups.

Survey Methods
The 2011 Updating of Nutritional Status of Filipino Children and Other Population
Groups Survey employed various methods in collecting data/information that
included anthropometric measurements of weight, height, and waist and hip
circumference using prescribed techniques of household members. Other information
were collected through face-to-face interview by trained Researchers in households
homes using structured questionnaires. Secondary data like birthweights and
immunization on childrens birth certificates, ECCD cards, baby books and other
records were utilized to validate respondents answers on these information.
Actual salt testing was also done during the Survey to determine whether salts used
by households are iodized or not using the MBI Rapid Test kit provided by DOH.
16
A.
Anthropometric Measurements
Weight and height/recumbent length of all members of the sample households were
measured by trained anthropometric Researchers using standard techniques (Jelliffe,
1966). Standing height of subjects two (2) years and above was taken using the
microtoise and recumbent length for those less than two years old was measured
using an infantometer, a wooden length board. Height/length was recorded to the
nearest 0.1 cm.
The platform beam balance weighing scale (Detecto brand) with 160-kilogram
capacity was used to take the weights of all household members. Children below 2
years old and are not able to stand independently were weighed together with their
mothers/caregivers. Then the weight of the mother without the child was taken and
subtracted to the combined weight of mother and child. Weight was recorded to the
nearest 0.1 kilogram.
Two (2) measurements were taken from each subject. In the analysis, the average of
the readings was considered.
Age was determined from birth records or similar documents. If not, age was
obtained through verbal information or recollection from reliable sources (mother or
primary caregiver/birth attendants or hilots). If only the birth year was reported, the
day and month of the survey period was used as the birth month and day.
Assessment of nutritional status. The World Health Organizations Child Growth
Standard (WHO-CGS) was used to assess nutritional status of children, based on the
weight and height measurements of children 0-5.0 years old (0-60 months) while the
WHO Growth Reference 2007 was used for children 5.08-19.0 years old (61-228
months). The softwares used for data analysis were the WHO Anthro 3.3.2 for
17
children 0-60 months and the WHO Anthro Plus 1.0.3 for children 61-228 months.
Table 2 shows the anthropometric indices used to assess nutritional status of
children and age groupings under the WHO-CGS and WHO Growth Reference 2007.
The cut-off points used in classifying nutritional status of children 0 to 19.0 years old
(0-228 months) based on WHO-CGS are shown in Tables 3, 4 and 5.
To determine the magnitude and severity of underweight, stunting and wasting as a
public health problem in each population group, the cut-off points for children underfive years old (WHO, 1995) in Table 6 and 7 were used.
Body mass index (NCHS/WHO, 1978) was used for adults and lactating mothers. For
pregnant women, the Philippine reference (Magbitang, et al. 1988) was used as
criteria. Cut-off points used in the said population groups are shown in Tables 8 and
9.

Infant and Young Child Feeding Practices
Face-to-face interview was conducted using a structured questionnaire to gather

information on infant and young child feeding practices of mother/caregiver of all
infants and children below 2 years old (0-23 months). Information on childs food
intake and breast-milk duration, in a single 24-our food recall was also obtained.
20
C. Maternal Nutrition
Face to face interview was done to all the mothers with 0-5 year old children to
determine their nutritional and health status and identify health seeking
behaviours.
D. Government Program Participation of Households and Children

Face-to-face interview using a structured questionnaire was conducted with an
adult member of the household as respondent. Questions asked were
households participation on nutrition-related programs such as Food Production,
Nutrition Education, and Iodized Salt; government assistance programs such as
Botika ng Bayan/Barangay, Senior Citizen Discount Card and Philhealth Care;
other programs/social services like free medical and dental services.
E. Food Insecurity
Face-to-face interview was done to assess food insecurity status of the
households, adults and children aged 0-19 years old using the Radimer-Cornell
food insecurity items. Food insecurity experiences were considered during the
past three (3) months from the date of the interview.
F. Socio-Economic
Face-to-face interview was conducted to collect information on households
socio-economic and demographic characteristics of household members.
G. Government Program Participation

Childrens participation to government programs include Growth Monitoring,
Operation Timbang, Supplementary Feeding, Orally Fit Child, Expanded Program
of Immunization, Newborn Screening, Deworming, and Vitamin A
Supplementation, the respondents were usually the mothers or caregivers.
Participation of pregnant women and lactating mothers to government programs
like tetanus toxoid immunization, nutrition counselling, breastfeeding promotion,
and micronutrient supplementation were also collected through face to face
interview.
H. Salt Testing
The MBI Rapid Test Kit (RTK) was used to check the presence of potassium
iodate in the salts used by households. Presence of iodine (in iodate form) is
indicated by a change of the salt samples color to violet or dark violet. No
change in color indicates that the sample is not iodized or iodine is in iodide form.

Ethical Review
The protocol for the conduct of the 2011 Updating Survey was submitted to the FNRI
Institutional Ethics Review Committee (FNRI-IERC) for clearance. However, the
FNRI-IERC opined that the 2011 Updating Survey does not require ethical clearance
since its conduct is in line with the Institutes legal mandate to define nutritional status
of the Philippine population that will serve as basis for program planning and
intervention as embodied in E.O. 128.
Ethical principles such as protection of life, health, privacy and dignity of human
subjects along with the scientific integrity and outmost confidentiality of information
collected from the households/subjects were largely considered in the
implementation of the survey.
Preparatory Survey Activities

Prior to the actual field data collection, training and recruitment of field survey
personnel, conduct of pilot survey, organization of survey team and conduct of presurvey conferences with local officials of the survey areas were done. Other
preparatory activities included the preparation, finalization and reproduction of survey
questionnaires/forms, Manual of Operations, Manual of Instructions (MOI) as well as
the training modules and trainees hand-out. The team movement and survey
schedule for both the pre-survey conferences with local officials and actual field
survey were laid out and finalized.
Administrative requirements such as travel documents (Special Orders) and travel
itineraries, financial requirements and contracts of services were prepared and
submitted for approval.
The calibration of survey tools and equipments and other paraphernalia was also
done before actual field survey operations.
Training and Recruitment. Trainings of field personnel were conducted in FNRI for
eight (8) days by experienced personnel of the Nutritional Assessment and
Monitoring Division (NAMD). The trainings conducted in 5 batches, consisted of
lectures, actual demonstrations, quizzes, role playing, practical exercises and
reliability tests. It culminated with a field practicum to ensure that adequate skills and
knowledge gained during the training were appropriately applied and practiced during
actual field survey operations.
Pilot Survey. Prior to actual field data collection, a pilot survey was done in two
barangays in Cardona, Rizal. The pilot test was done to simulate the various
processes of actual data collection and to test the feasibility of the survey schedule
and team movement as well as the assigned load of Researchers in terms of number
23
of household coverage in a day/survey area. The pilot survey was done by newly
hired Researchers and was supervised and observed by NAMD field survey staff.
After the pilot survey, processing was done to discuss what needs to be improved
after which standardization of procedures/survey protocol were laid out and
formulated.
Survey Equipment. Before the survey commenced, all survey equipment, tools/
instruments used in field survey operations such as the platform beam balance
scales, the microtoise, infantometer, the fibreglass tape measure were calibrated at
the National Metrology Laboratory of the Industrial Technology Development Institute
(ITDI) of DOST. Regular checking and calibration of survey instruments and
equipment were done by the Researchers during the field data collection. Spare or
extra units of the survey equipment/tools were also brought by the survey teams, in
case of unavoidable damage and problems on site were encountered.
Pre-Survey Conferences
Pre-survey conferences or visits
primarily to coordinate with local
officials of the survey areas were done
before actual data collection. In these
visits, ocular inspection of the survey
areas was done to gather information
on the accessibility, mode of
transportation, peace and order
situation
and
other
pertinent
information. The local officials were
briefed with the survey objectives,
procedures
and
schedule,
and
arrangements were made with regards
to the hiring of local survey aides,
housing/accommodation of the survey team and transportation facilities. This
information is vital to the orderly and smooth, effective and efficient implementation
of the survey.
Actual Field Survey Operations and Coordination

The actual field data collection was undertaken from June to December 2011. A subteam, composed of a team leader and four members, usually stays in the survey
areas for 3-5 days for collecting all information in all survey modules/components
including the location of the households, anthropometric measurements and
interview.
24
Location of Households/Informed Consent Form

On the first day of data collection in the survey area, the location of sample
households was undertaken by the Researchers and the local survey aides. In these
locations, household head/members were briefed by the surveys objectives,
procedures/methods used and the expected cooperation of the households. Then the
consent of the households respondents to voluntarily participate in the Survey was
elicited and formalized when informed consent form was signed by the household
respondents.
Field Editing and Encoding

After data collection, editing of
accomplished survey questionnaires was
undertaken by Researchers and the
Team
Leaders
to
check
for
completeness and consistency of
entries. After data editing, data was
encoded in laptops using the data entry
system developed by the Institute for the
Survey.
Data Entry System

Data were encoded using the Data
Entry
System
(DES)
in
notebooks/laptops. The DES is a webbased data entry system specifically
designed for the 2011 Updating Survey.
Validation checks were included in the
system to check incorrect codes/entries
encoded, double and inconsistent
entries
and
outliers.
After
the
completion of data encoding, data were
immediately transmitted electronically
from the survey areas to the central
office in Bicutan, Taguig City using broadbands.
The data received in the office was then printed and the printed outputs were
validated or checked against the accomplished survey questionnaires.
25
Organization of Survey Teams

The field survey personnel were organized into five major survey teams. Each team
is headed by a Team Coordinator who is assisted by two Assistant Team
Coordinators. A team was composed of seven Sub-teams. Each Sub-team was
composed of a Team Leader and four Field Researchers. Figure 2 shows the
organizational structure of the 2011 Updating Survey.

Data Processing and Statistical Analysis

In the central office, the printed output of
encoded data (called the proof list) was
checked
against
the
edited
survey
questionnaires. Two rounds of manual
validations were done, then machine
validation which is done by applying
descriptive statistics to each variable to check
errors and outliers. Errors or outliers found
were validated with the actual entries/answers
in the survey questionnaires. Errors in
responses/answers were excluded.
26
Once data were cleaned, the different survey modules were merged to create one
master datafile. Another round of consistency checks was undertaken to ensure
consistent entries of variables.
Sampling weights were then applied in order to make the estimate generated reflects
more closely the actual distributions in the whole population.
SPSS version 15 and STATA version 7 were used for the statistical analysis.
Descriptive statistics like mean, medians, and percentage, range, and confidence
intervals were generated to describe the distribution of each variable. For the
coefficient of variation, the STATA software was utilized to take into account the
design effect in the Survey.
Dissemination of Results
In April 2012, three (3) months after the culmination of the data collection, the initial
results of the 2011 Survey was first
presented in a Nutrition Summit in
Dusit Thani, Makati City. In
attendance were representatives
from the national line agencies, nongovernment organizations as well
as international and development
partners.
In July 2012, the full results of the
Survey were presented during the
38th FNRI Seminar Series, an
annual activity of the Institute in
celebration of the Nutrition Month.
Then in September, FNRI in

partnership with DOST Regional
Offices and the National Nutrition
Council of the Department of
Health organized the post-survey
conferences/seminars
in
the
regions to disseminate the survey
results, showcasing the regional
and provincial results of the major
nutrition variables. These fora
served as venues to provide
updates of the nutritional status of
Filipino children and other population groups well as other nutrition related
information like infant feeding, maternal nutrition and households/children
27
participation or access to government

programs on nutrition and related programs.
Seventeen regional dissemination fora were
organized in all regions of the country
including the National Capital Region
(NCR).
Participants of these dissemination fora
included regional/provincial planners from all
sectors: policy, health, nutrition, agriculture,
labor and development planners/workers,
researchers, academe, media, nutrition
advocates other stakeholders.

Part A Characteristics of Households

This section describes the demographic profile and characteristics of households. A
household, refers to a person living alone or group of persons who may be related or
not and usually sleep in the same dwelling unit with common arrangement for food
preparation and consumption. The socio-economic variables are vital inputs in the
analysis of its relationships with the nutrition and health data. The information
generated is very useful in targeting and locating specific population groups who are
nutritionally-at-risk and vulnerable to socio-economic fluctuations and environmental
degradation. Data collected from the individual members of the household are the
following: household size, formal education completed, present occupation and place
of work. For the characteristics of the household, the following variables are also
collected: presence of electricity and functioning household appliances, sources of
drinking water, toilet facility, garbage disposal and practice on garbage segregation.
1. Household Size
Household size refers to actual number of regular members residing in the
household. Table A.1, shows that, at the time of the survey, the average household
size of all the households covered was 5. About 35.1% of the sample households
have 4-5 members. Around 5% of the households have more than 9 members.

Part B - Nutritional Status of All Population Groups

The Anthropometric Survey Component covered a total of 38,894 sample
households. All members of these households were included as subjects of whom:
17,309 were preschool-age children (0-5 years or 0-60 months), 20,389 were schoolage children (5.08-10.0 years or 61-120 months), 33,613 were preadolescents/adolescents (10.08-19.0 years or 121-228 months), and 70,964 were
adults (19.08 years and over or 229 months and over); 1,651 pregnant women and
3,328 lactating mothers.
1. Birthweight of Young Children, 0-3.9 years old

Birthweight is an important indication of the infants health status, survival, and
physical and mental growth in the future. Infants with low birthweight of less than
2,500 grams are considered to have low birthweight (WHO, 2002). The reduction of
the proportion of low birthweight (LBW) among infants contributes to the reduction of
child mortality, which is included in the Millennium Development Goals.
It is internationally recognized that birthweight is an indicator of well-being of
neonates and women of reproductive age. Such estimates provide specific
information on the health of pregnant women and fetal development. Moreover,
birthweight has been a leading determinant of survival chances of a newborn
(Boerma, et al. 1996).

*Based on WHO cut-off which is <2500 g for low birth weights
Figure B.1 shows the percentage distribution of children 0-3.9 years old (0-47
months) by sex and level of birthweight. Among infants and young children with
reported birthweight, around 15.9% or 2 out of 10 were with low birthweight. On the
other hand, 84.1% of children had normal birthweight or those with birthweight of
2,500g or more. Based on sex, females (16.5%) are more at risk to low birthweight
compared to males (15.3%). This means that females are more at-risk to mortality if
38
not given proper intervention. On the other hand, more males (84.7%) have normal
birthweight than females (83.5%).

Comparing low birthweight among regions, Bicol (18.6%), Western Visayas (19.3%),
Central Visayas (18.1%), Eastern Visayas (16.9%), Zamboanga Peninsula (17.5%),
Davao Region (16.8%), SOCCSKSARGEN (18.2%), and ARMM (17.6%) had higher
prevalence than the national prevalence of 15.9% (Table B.2).

Height and Weight Measurements of Children
Table B.2 shows the mean (SE) height (cm) and weight (kg) of children by age and
by sex. Overall, mean height and weight of children 0-10.0 years-old (0-120 months)
increase as the children gets older. The mean height and weight of male children 05.0 years-old (0-60 months) was higher than that of the female children. Mean height
of males was also higher than females at age 5.08-7.9 years old. Females start to be
taller than males at age 8.0-10.0 years old. This is due to early puberty wherein
females start to grow taller than males.

Nutritional Status of Children

National Prevalence
Based on the four anthropometric indices, Figure B.3 shows the nutritional status of
children. Using weight-for-age as index, 2 out of 10 children aged 0-5 years old (0-60
months) and 3 out of 10 children aged 5.08-10 years old (61-120 months) were
underweight. This reflects low weight for age, an indicator of both past and present
nutritional status.
Based on height-for-age, 3 out of 10 children aged 0-5 years (0-60 months) were
stunted. Stunting was also evident among 5.08-10 year old (61-120 months) children.
This condition reflects the effects of chronic malnutrition, infections and poor
environmental conditions that hinder childs linear growth.
Using weight-for-height classification, 7 out of 100 children aged 0-5 years old (0-60
months) were wasted which indicates acute undernutrition brought by current food
insecurity and illness such as diarrhea. Considering BMI-for-age classification, 6 in
every 100 children 0-5 years old (0-60 months old) and 9 in every 100 children 5.0810 years old (61-120 months old) were wasted. Using the same classification, 5 out
of 100 children aged 0-5 years old (0-60 months) and 8 out of 100 children aged
5.08-10 years old (61-120 months) were overweight for their height.

Nutritional status of children, 0-10 years old (0-120 months),

based on WHO-CGS weight-for-age, height-for-age, weight-forheight, and BMI-for-age cut-off points: Philippines, 2011
By single age, the prevalence of underweight among 0-10 year old children
increases with age. Children 1 year old and below have medium prevalence while
those 2-6 years old have high prevalence based on the WHO classification of
magnitude of underweight children. Very high magnitude was observed among the 710 years old.
The prevalence of stunting doubled at the age of 1 year and also increases with age
until 3 years old. A decreasing trend was observed from 4 to 8 years old then
increased at 9-10 years old. Children less than 1 year old have low magnitude of
stunting while the 1 to 10 years old have high magnitude based on WHO
classification.
42
Contrary to underweight and stunting, the wasting prevalence in children at age 1

year decrease as the child grows older (Figure B.4). The prevalence starts to
increase at age 6 to 10 years old. Children less than 1-year old are considered to be
in a serious magnitude of wasting while those who are 1 to 8 years old are
considered poor. Serious magnitude was also observed among children 9-10 years
old. The prevalence of overweight and obesity start to decrease from 1 to 5 years
old. Highest prevalence of overweight and obesity was also observed among
children aged 9-10 years old (8.4%)

Trends in Malnutrition Prevalence among Children

For the past four survey periods, prevalence of underweight children slightly
increased at an average of 8.05%-points per year among 0-5 month-old children.
Underweight prevalence decreased by 0.9%-points between 2003 and 2011 among
the 6-11 months. At age 1, underweight prevalence recorded an annual average
increase of 0.35%-points for the past eight years. Between 2003 and 2011,
underweight among 2 to 5 years old children decreased (Figure B.5).
For the 5.08-10 years old children, underweight prevalence slightly decreased among
the 6 year-old and 9-10.0 year-old children with 0.5%-points and 0.3%-points
decrease, respectively between 2003 and 2011. Children aged 5.08-5.9 and 7 years
old both had a 2.6%-points increase in underweight prevalence since 2003. An
annual average decrease of 0.51%-points was noted among 8 year-old children for
the past eight years.
Figure B.5.

months); and b.) 5.08-10 years old (61-120 months) by age group

2003-2011
44
Since 2003, stunting has generally increased among children less than 2 years old
(Figure B.6). Occurrence of stunting among infants 0 to 5 months might be reflective
of poor maternal nutrition. When the child reached the age of 6 to 11 months old,
further increased in the prevalence of underheight might be attributed to
inappropriate feeding practices such as inadequate and untimely introduction of
complementary foods. Prevalence of stunting further double when the child reached
1 year old, that can be ascribed to prolonged inadequacies of food intake in terms of
quality and quantity, and recurrence of illness or infections that eventually slowed
downed their skeletal growth resulting to linear growth retardation. Stunting continued
to increase until 3 years old. The impact of stunting is lasting and irreversible, and
without further intervention in the first two years of life, this may predispose them to
severe illnesses, developmental delays and possibly even death. For those who can
survive, they are at risk to NCDs later in life.
Between 2003 to 2011, there was an improvement in height relative to age among
children 2 to 5 years old as shown in the decrease of stunting prevalence. The 2-year
old registered the highest annual average reduction of 0.69%-points since 2003.
Conversely, prevalence of stunting decreased between 2003 and 2011 among
children 5.08-8 years old indicating an improvement in linear growth. Highest annual
average reduction of 0.95%-points was recorded among children 8 years old for the
past eight years. Stunting prevalence among children aged 9-10.0 years old slightly
increased by 0.3%-points between 2003 and 2011.

45
By age group, children 0-5 years old had generally increased prevalence of wasting
between 2003 and 2011. The children 6-11 month-old registered the highest
prevalence of wasting with an annual average of 0.26%-point increase for the past
eight years. (Figure B.7).
Wasting prevalence also increased among 5.08-8 year old children. Children aged 7
years old had the highest annual average increase at 0.31%-points since 2003. A
decrease of 1.7%-points was recorded among children 9-10.0 years old which is
considered to be the highest among this age group for the past eight years.

46
Overnutrition is becoming one of the most serious concern of the country, because
overweight prevalence is increasing among age groups for the past eight years
(Figure B.8). Prevalence of overweight was highest among the 0-5 month-old
children with an annual average increase of 0.59%-points since 2003.
Increasing trend was also observed among 5.08-10 year old children. The highest
increase was recorded among 6 year-old children with an average increase of
0.45%-points per year since 2003.

2003-2011
47
Since 2008, it is noted that there is no significant decrease in underweight

prevalence. Stunting on the other hand has significantly increased by 1.3%-points
between 2008 and 2011. Though wasting prevalence increased, there was no
significant difference between 2008 and 2011.
The decrease in the prevalence of underweight and stunting since 1989 are very
slow. The underweight prevalence decreased by an annual average rate of only
0.33%-points. On the other hand, the prevalence of stunting was reduced by 11.1%points or a yearly average of 0.50%-points. Wasting prevalence increased by 1.1%points since 1989. Among the ten survey periods, there is a rising trend in the
prevalence of overweight children with an annual average increase of 0.15%-points.
This is alarming considering the risk of 0-5 year old children to non-communicable
diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and other lifestyle diseases.

months), based on WHO-CGS classification: Philippines, 19892011
48
To achieve the MDG target of reducing the underweight prevalence of under-five

children by 2015 the prevalence should be reduced by 6.6%-points or an average
reduction of 1.65%-points per year (Figure B.10).
Figure B.10. Trends in the prevalence of underweight-for-age among children,

under-five years old (0 to <60 months), for monitoring of MDG
Goal 1: 1990-2011
For children, 5.08-10 years old (61-120 months), the reduction in underweight and
stunting prevalence are also very slow. Since 2003, annual average reduction
registered at 0.01%-points for underweight while 0.35%-points for stunting. Wasting
and overweight prevalence are gradually increasing in this age group with an annual
average increase of 0.14%-points and 0.21%-points, respectively.

Regional Prevalence
Based on WHO classification for determining magnitude and severity among
undernourished children under-five years old (0 to <60 months) (1995), a high
prevalence of underweight among 0-5 year old children were found in three regions
in Luzon (Cagayan Valley, MIMAROPA and Bicol) and all regions in Visayas and
Mindanao. Using the same classification among 5.08-10 year old children, very high
prevalence was noted in two regions in Luzon (MIMAROPA and Bicol) and all
regions in Visayas and Mindanao.
Prevalence of stunting among 0-5 year old children was very high in Visayas,
specifically Western and Eastern Visayas, and two regions in Mindanao namely,
SOCCSKSARGEN and ARMM. For children 5.08-10 years old, a very high
magnitude of stunting was recorded in MIMAROPA in Luzon, Western and Eastern
Visayas in Visayas and most of the regions in Mindanao namely, Zamboanga
Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, Davao, SOCCSKSARGEN and ARMM.
Magnitude of wasting among children 0-5 years old were considered serious in
Cagayan Valley and MIMAROPA in Luzon, and ARMM in Mindanao. Acceptable
magnitude was noted in CAR. On the other hand, for children 5.08-10 years old, all
regions in the country are considered having poor magnitude of wasting except for
Central Visayas which is considered to have acceptable magnitude.
50
Comparing the prevalence rates between 2008 and 2011, there was no significant
difference among underweight children 0-5 years old. For children, 5.08-10 years old,
significant difference was found only in Central Visayas (Table B.4 and B.5).

Underweight
A very high prevalence (>30%) of underweight children 0-5 years old was noted in
the provinces of Siquijor, Basilan, Guimaras, Capiz, and Camarines Norte based on
the WHO cut-off points (1995) (Figure B.12 and Appendix Table B.2).

Adopting the same reference points for children 0-5 years old, all provinces in
Mindanao, except Zamboanga, Sibugay and Camiguin, all provinces in the Visayas,
and all provinces in MIMAROPA and Bicol regions, except for Catanduanes have
very high prevalence of underweight children 5.08-10 years old (Figure B.13 and

2.3 Adults, 19.08 years old and over (229 months and over)
National Prevalence
Body Mass Index
The BMI classification reflects the nutritional status of adults, 20.0 years old and over
(240 months and over). Overall, 1 out of 10 adults are chronically energy deficient
(CED), 2 out of 10 are overweight, and while 6 out of 100 are obese (Figure B.23).
Figure B.23. Nutritional status of adults, 20.0 years old and over (240
months), by sex based on BMI classification: Philippines, 2011
65
By age group, Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) are common among 19 years old
and elderly (70 years old). On the other hand, overweight and obesity are common
among 40-49 years old adults (Figure B.24).

Trends in Malnutrition Prevalence among Adults 20 year old and over

There is a decreasing trend in the prevalence of CED with a 0.22%-point decrease
per year since 1993. On the other hand, an increasing trend in the prevalence of
overweight and obesity was noted with an annual average increase of 0.66%-points
for the five survey periods. (Figure B.25)

Regional Prevalence
Six regions in Luzon (Ilocos Region, Bicol Region, MIMAROPA, CALABARZON,
Cagayan Valley, and Central Luzon) , one in the Visayas (Western Visayas) and
two in Mindanao (ARMM and Zamboanga Peninsula) have higher CED prevalence
than the national prevalence (10.0%), while three regions in Luzon (NCR,
CALABARZON and Central Luzon) and two regions in Mindanao (CARAGA and
Northern Mindanao) have obesity prevalence of more than the national prevalence
of 6.1% (Figure B.26).

Waist Circumference
National Prevalence
Aside from BMI which indirectly measures obesity, anthropometric measurement of
the upper abdomen reflecting the abdominal type of obesity, is also a common risk
factor to non-communicable diseases. The mean waist circumference of male and
female adults increase as they age up to 50-59 years old and then start to decrease
at 60 years old and over. Categorizing high waist circumference by age groups,
those at age 50-59 years old have the highest waist circumference for both male and
female. It is noted that female adults have higher prevalence of high waist
circumference than male adults (Table B.10).

Trends in High Waist Circumference among adults 20 year old and over
Since 1998, prevalence of high waist circumference had an increasing trend. By sex,
prevalence of high waist circumference (WC) among males have increased by 0.5%points between 1998 and 2011. On the other hand, a 0.71%-point annual average
increase in high WC was noted among female adults. Females registered higher
prevalence of high WC than males indicating that they were more at-risk to
abdominal type of obesity and to non-communicable diseases (Figure B.27).

Regional Prevalence
Notably, for both male and female adults, 20 years old and over, prevalence of high
waist circumference in regions such as NCR, CALABARZON, and Central Luzon
were higher than the national prevalence of 3.2% and 19.9% respectively. In
addition, female adults, 20 years old and over in regions such as Davao Region,
Northern Mindanao, and Eastern Visayas have higher prevalence of high waist
circumference than the national prevalence (Figure B.28).

Waist and Hip Ratio

As seen in Table B.11, the mean waist and hip ratio of adults generally increase as
they age. Highest prevalence of high waist-hip ratio was recorded among 60-69 year
old male and 50-59 year-old female adults. Generally, females are more obese than
males as indicated by high wasit-hip ratio.

Trends in High Waist-Hip Ratio among adults 20 year old and over
The trends in the four survey periods showed that high WHR increased sharply from
1998 to 2008 at an average of 2.6%-points among females and decreased
significantly by 3.0%-points between 2008 and 2011. On the other hand, for males,
high WHR increased sharply from 1998 to 2003, then declined by 1.0%-point
between 2003 and 2008, and decreased sharply by 4.2%-points from 2008 to 2011
(Figure B.29).

2.4 Pregnant Women

National Prevalence
Using the weight for height table by Magbitang, et al (1988), the nutritional status of
pregnant women were determined. Overall, 1 in every 4 pregnant women is
nutritionally at-risk. Adolescent pregnant women are more nutritionally at-risk than
older pregnant women (Figure B.31).
74
Figure B.31. Percentage distribution of pregnant women by age group and

weight-for-height classification: Philippines, 2011
Trends in the Prevalence of Nutritionally at-risk Pregnant Women

The prevalence of nutritionally at-risk pregnant women in 2011 did not differ with the
prevalence in 2008. Since 1998, prevalence rate decreased by 0.44%-point per year
(Figure B.32).
Figure B.32. Trends in the prevalence of nutritionally at risk pregnant women

National Prevalence
Across age groups, about 1 in every 10 lactating mothers is underweight, while about
2 in every 10 lactating mothers are overweight. The prevalence of overweight is 3
times more common among lactating mothers, 20 yrs and over (Figure B.34).

Part C. Infant and Young Child Feeding Practices

Nutrition is a crucial, universally recognized component of the childs right to the
enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health. In fulfilling this, it is imperative
that children receive adequate nutrition and have access to safe and nutritious food.
Appropriate infant and young child feeding practices sets an exceptional role in
achieving a childs optimal nutrition and health. This should be well-established early
from birth as this equates with a strong and healthy future. Poor feeding practices
during this period could lead to malnutrition which subjects the child to its
consequences like severe illnesses, stunted growth, developmental delays and even
death.
In response to this, the WHO and UNICEF jointly developed the Global Strategy for
Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) to revitalize world attention to the impact that
feeding practices have on the nutritional status, growth and development, health and
survival of infants and young children.
As a global public health recommendation, infants should be exclusively breastfed for
the first six (6) months of life and breastfeeding should be continued for up to two (2)
years and beyond with the provision of timely, adequate, safe, and appropriate
complementary foods at six months.
In the assessment of the IYCF practices of Filipino children under two years of age,
the WHO and UNICEF indicators were used based on a Global Consensus meeting
on Indicators for IYCF to harmonize IYCF indicators with the global data. The core
Indicators are early initiation of breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding, continued
breastfeeding at one year, introduction of solid, semi-solid or soft foods, minimum
dietary diversity, minimum meal frequency, minimum acceptable diet, and
consumption of iron-rich or fortified foods. Optional indicators, on the other hand,
include children ever breastfed, continued breastfeeding at two years, ageappropriate breastfeeding, predominant breastfeeding under six months, bottle
feeding of infants and milk feeding frequency for non-breastfed children.
The Survey covered a total of 6,653 children wherein almost half (48.6%) were
children aged 12-23 months, 27.4% were 6-11 months and the remaining 24% were
0-5 months old (Figure C.1).

1. Current Breastfeeding Practices

Figure C.2 graphical presentation shows the proportion of children by feeding
practice and the childs age where each feeding starts, peaks, declines or stops.
About 63% of children under two months old were exclusively breastfed, 19% were
on breast and other milk while about 13% were on pure other milk. Breastfeeding
decreases with age except for mixed feeding that starts to peak at 8-9 months.
Giving of other foods started as early as two months and peaked at 6-7 months. At 89 months all children received foods other than breast milk. Furthermore, beginning
at eight months there were children who were no longer taking any milk.

Among children 0-5 months of age, almost half (48.9%) were currently exclusively
breastfed at the time of the survey. By single age, exclusive breastfeeding decreased
from 69.1% at zero month to 23.8% at five months (Figure C.3).

1.1 Initiation of Breastfeeding

The WHO and UNICEF recommend to put the newborn to the breast within one hour
after delivery to stimulate early suckling and establish early lactation. At the national
level, 5 in every 10 children were initiated to breastfeed within one hour after delivery
(Figure C.4).

1.2 Place of Delivery and Breastfeeding Practices

By place of delivery, 42.9% of children were delivered at home, nearly 30% at public
hospitals, 18% at private hospitals/lying-in clinics and less than 10% at rural health
units/centers (Figure C.5). Higher proportion of children initiated to breastfed within
one hour was noted among children delivered at rural health units/centers and an
almost equal proportion by those delivered at public hospitals and at home. There
was lower proportion of children initiated to breast within one hour at private
hospitals/clinics (Figure C.6).

By current feeding practice, higher percentage of infants 0-5 months old on

exclusively breastfeed were those delivered at home at 54.7%, followed by those
delivered at rural health centers (52.8%), and public hospitals (43.2%). Lower
proportion of children currently on exclusive breastfeeding and consequently higher
proportion currently on other milk feeding were those delivered at private hospitals
and clinics. This result is consistent with the result on breastfeeding initiation by place
of delivery (Figure C.7).

practices and by place of delivery: Philippines, 2011
1.3 Type of Delivery and Breastfeeding Practices

By type of delivery, 90.6% of children were delivered normally delivery while the
remaining fraction (9.4%) were delivered through caesarian section, an indicator of
critical pregnancy (Figure C.8). Children born via normal delivery were most likely to
be initiated to breast within one hour than their counterpart delivered by caesarian
section (Figure C.9).

Conversely there was significantly lower proportion of children currently on exclusive

breastfeeding and higher proportion currently on other milk feeding among infants
0-5 months who were delivered via caesarian section than via normal delivery.

Comparing the current feeding practices of children initiated to breastfeed within the
prescribed one hour and beyond one hour, the proportion of children currently on
exclusive breastfeeding was higher (56%) when initiated to breastfeed within one
hour than beyond one hour.
Figure C.11. Comparison between current feeding practice of infants 0-5

months old and timing initiation to breastfeed: Philippines 2011
1.4 Continued Breastfeeding

The Global recommendation is to breastfeed children continuously from birth to 2
years or beyond. Since breastmilk remains an important component of the childs diet
at six months onwards. Continued breastfeeding at 1 year and 2 years are the
proportion of children 12-15 months old and 20-23 months old, respectively who are
still fed breast milk. Results show a decreasing trend of breastfeeding with age, from
62.7% among 6-11months, 51.7% at 1 year and 28.9% at 2 years (Figure C.12).
84
Figure C.12. Percentage of children with continued breastfeeding among

Figure C.13 reveals that there is a 6.2% points increase in the proportion of
exclusively breastfed children from 2003 to 2008, and a notable increase of 10.8 %
points from 2008 to 2011. For comparison purposes, feeding practice is based on the
usual feeding at the time of the survey.

2. Prelacteal Feeding
Mothers were asked if they gave any liquid other than breastmilk in the first three
days after delivery, termed as prelacteal feeds. Giving of prelacteal feeds were
discouraged as they are less nutritious, susceptible to contamination and hinders
regular milk flow.
Table C.1 shows that 26.8% of children were given prelacteal feed within three days
after delivery. The common prelacteal feeds given are other milk, plain water, water
with sugar/honey and vegetable or herbal extract. Majority (62.2%) of mothers gave
prelacteal feeds because of lack of milk flow (Table C.2).

Comparing the current feeding practice of children and the practice of giving
prelacteal feed, results showed that among infants 0-5 months old, the proportion of
infants currently exclusively breastfeeding was significantly higher when not given
prelacteal feed. Higher proportion of children introduced to complementary foods
before the recommended 6 months were noted among children given prelacteal
feeds. In addition, higher proportion of children who were given other milk as
prelacteal feed were not exclusively breastfed or were currently feeding on other
milk.
Among the 6-8 and the 9-23 months old, higher proportion of children who were still
breastfed were those not given prelacteal feed. The result implies that prelacteal
feeding compromises early initiation of breastfeeding and the delay in initiation to
breastfeeding encourages giving of other milk or introducing complementary foods
(Figure C.15).

3. Complementary Feeding Practices

At the national level, 83.7% of infants 6-8 months old were introduced to solid, semisolid or soft foods. Introduction of solid, semi-solid or soft foods increased with age
from 72.8% among infants 6 months old, to 92.6% among children aged 8 months.
The early introduction of liquids and semi-solid foods before six months is a cause of
concern because these foods replace breast milk, and acts as possible vehicle of
contamination which is a major cause of diarrhea and other infectious diseases
among infants. Commercially prepared baby foods was the most common first
introductory food given to children, followed by lugao, mashed vegetable and rice
(Figure C.16 & Figure C.17).

As cited by mothers, their main reason for giving the first introductory food was
based on what is the norm or being the known food for babies (32.3%), being easy to
prepare (15.2%) and based on advised by relatives and friends (13.8%).

The concept of a Dietary Diversity Score (DDS) is a useful proxy indicator of the
nutrient adequacy of diets of population groups based on the number of food groups
consumed by each child using a standard set of food groups. The food groups are
grains, roots and tubers; legumes and nuts; dairy product; meat, fish, poultry and
liver/organ meats; eggs; vitamin A-rich fruits and vegetables; and other fruits and
vegetables. A score of one is given for each food group consumed by the child where
a minimum DDS is one and maximum of seven DDS. The sum of which is then
compared with WHO cut-off where a DDS of four indicates meeting the minimum
DDS.
Based on Figure C.18, only 1 out of 5 children met the minimum DDS of 4. The
proportion of children who met the minimum DDS was higher among older infants 1223 months and the minimum DDS maybe difficult to meet by children 6-11 months
old as only 7% met the minimum DDS.
Regional results of infant and young child feeding practices are shown in Appendix

Participation of Children to Nutrition and

Related Programs
The Government Program Participation Survey Component aimed to assess
participation of households/individuals to a wide range of nutrition and health
programs of the government and to track changes in participation of
households/individuals to government programs monitored over time. For children 0
to 12 years old, government programs include Growth Monitoring, Operation
Timbang, Supplementary Feeding, Orally Fit Child, Expanded Program of
Immunization, Newborn Screening, Deworming and Vitamin A Supplementation.
Household participation to government programs is shown in Part G.
About 9 out of 10 children participated in Vitamin A supplementation, while about 8
out of 10 children participated in Operation Timbang, and 6 out of 10 children
participated in Deworming. More than half or 5 out of 10 children participated in
Growth Monitoring and Day Care Center. Lowest participation was noted in Orally Fit
Child (34.9%) and Supplementary feeding (29.4%) (Figure D.1). In general,
participation of children among Government Programs increased significantly from
2008 to 2011 (Figure D.2).

1.1 Expanded Program on Immunization

Immunization is a basic health service and as such it is integrated in to the health
services being provided by Rural Health Centers. The Expanded Program on
Immunization (EPI) was established to ensure that infants and children have access
to routinely recommended infant/ childhood vaccines. These include basic
immunization for children under 5 years. The goal is to reduce the morbidity among
children against the most common vaccine- preventable diseases. Moreover, EPI
also target to sustain the polio-free status of the Philippines and eliminate measles
infection and neonatal tetanus.
The standard routine immunization schedule for infants is adopted to provide
maximum immunity against the vaccine preventable diseases before childs first
birthday. A child is said to be Fully Immunized Child when a child receives one dose
of BCG, 3 doses of DPT, 3 doses of Hepatitis B, and one dose of measles before a
childs 1st birthday. A high participation of children 0-48 months to Expanded Program
on Immunization was noted. Overall, 9 out of 10 targeted children received BCG
vaccine and at least 1 dose of OPV, DPT, and Hepatitis B. Eight out of 10 targeted
children received the measles vaccine (Figure D.3).
93
Figure D.3.

Program on Immunization (EPI): Philippines, 2011
Generally, there was an increased participation in the Expanded Immunization

Program among children between 2008 and 2011. The increased participation of
BCG, measles and hepatitis B immunization was highly significant (Figure D.4).
Figure D.4.

Bacillus, Calmette, Guirin (BCG) vaccine is given intradermally soon after birth to
protect infants from the possibility of Tuberculosis meningitis and other Tuberculosis
infection in which infants are prone. Figure D.5 shows that at the national level, 9 out
of 10 children 0-48 months received BCG vaccine. In addition, nearly 100% of the
children in Western Visayas received the BCG vaccine while, ARMM has the lowest
percentage (72.1%) of availment.

Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus (DPT) is a combination of vaccines against three

infectious diseases in humans namely, dipththeria, pertussis (whooping cough) and
tetanus. Nine out of 10 children receives DPT immunization in the country as shown
in Figure D.6. Disaggregating by region, the highest percentage of participants
availing the DPT vaccine can be found in CARAGA (95.3%). Conversely, ARMM has
the lowest number of participants (68.8%).

Growth Monitoring
Growth Monitoring is the regular measurement of weights of children using individual

growth charts where measurements are plotted. This serves as an entry point for
appropriate measures to maintain a childs normal growth patterns or correct a childs
manifested growth faltering. In this survey, considered are the 0-2 years old children.
More than half of the population of children in the country were participants of growth
monitoring program as Figure D.11 shows. In addition, the highest percentage
participation can be found in CARAGA (65.0%). Furthermore, ARMM (35.3%) and
CALABARZON (39.8%) had significantly lower participation than the national
estimate (53.3%) (Figure D.12).

Supplementary Feeding
The Healthy Start Feeding Project (HSFP) of the DSWD provides food supplement to
day care children 3-5 years old. The food supplementation is in the form of hot meals
served either as breakfast or afternoon snacks for 5 days a week. The projects
target duration is 120 feeding days. The food preparation is handled by childrens
parent based on a prepared menu using available indigenous food materials. About 3
out of 10 children in the country participated in the supplementary feeding program
as shown in Figure D.19. Across the region, highest participation was noted in
Zamboanga Peninsula whereas, CALABARZON had the lowest participation.
CALABARZON, ARMM, Central Luzon and Davao have significantly lower
percentage of participation than the national estimate of 32.5%. Conversely,
SOCCKSARGEN, Central Visayas, Western Visayas, MIMAROPA, Cagayan Valley,

Orally-Fit Child
Orally fit child is committed to contribute to the improvement of the quality of life
through the attainment of the highest possible level of oral health. It is a nationwide
campaign to highlight the importance of proper behaviors to maintain optimum oral
health for under six children. The program promotes good tooth brushing techniques,
healthy diet, filling of cavities to relieve pain and discomfort due to dental caries,
extraction of unsavable tooth and treatment of post operative infections. This
program also recognizes that oral hygiene is a basic personal measure to prevent
and control tooth decay and gum disease. Figure D.21 shows that 4 out of 10
children in the country participated on Orally Fit Child Program. Among the regions,
Central Visayas has the highest participation while CALABARZON has the lowest.
Significantly lower percentage than the national estimate (37.6) were found in

1.10 Healthy Habits of Children, 6-12 years old

The Essential Health Care Program of DepEd aims to promote cleanliness by simple
health interventions like hand washing before and after meals and after toilet use and
regular brushing of teeth. At the national level, 8 out of 10 children practice washing
their hands before meals. Across regions, a high proportion of children who practice
washing their hands before meals were noted in Ilocos Region (91.5%) and Central
Luzon (90.7%), while the lowest proportion was observed in ARMM (42.7%) (Figure
D.25). Figure D.26 shows the percentage of children, 6-12 years old who practice
washing of hands before meals and it was highly practice in all regions except in
ARMM (42.7%). Regions that have statistically lower percentage than the national
estimate (82.0%) was seen in ARMM, Western Visayas and SOCCSKSARGEN.

Dental caries, also known as tooth decay is a bacterial infection in origin that causes
demineralization and destruction of the hard tissues (enamel, dentin and cementum)
usually by the production of acid. About 7 out of 10 children have dental caries.
Highest proportion of children with dental caries can be observed in Eastern Visayas
(79.3%) followed by CARAGA (77.9%) and Northern Mindanao (76.3%). Lowest
proportion of children with dental caries was recorded in Bicol Region (69.4%)
(Figure D.33). Among the regions with highest percentage than national estimate
were Eastern Visayas and CARAGA (Figure D.34)

Part E. Maternal Nutrition

The past and current nutritional status of a mother is an important indicator of her
ability to conceive, to carry the fetus to term, the likelihood that she and the fetus will
survive, the ability to emerge from childbirth and the capacity to breastfeed
successfully through adequate nutrition (Kusin, 1998).
Despite previous efforts to improve the health and nutrition of mothers and their
newborn, maternal and neonatal mortality per year is still at alarming level of 200 per
1000 livebirths and this is due to pregnancy-related complications. In this scenario,
the Philippines commitment to the Millennium Development Goal (MDGs) of
improving maternal health and reduction of child mortality may be put to risk by 2015.
The Department of Health (DOH) identified four risks of maternal and neonatal
mortality: (1) the risk of having mistimed, unplanned, unwanted, and unsupported
pregnancy; (2) risk of not securing adequate care by the mother during the course of
the pregnancy; (3) risk of delivering without being attended to by skilled birth
attendants such as skilled midwives, nurses and physicians; (4) risk of not securing
proper postpartum and postnatal care for the mother and the baby.
The first 1000 days of child life the nine months in the womb and the child 2nd
birthday offer a unique window of opportunity to provide right nutrition, thereby having
a profound impact on childs ability to grow, learn and break the vicious cycle of
malnutrition. The impact of inadequate nutrition during this golden period is lasting
and irreversible, with effects beyond physical health to affect the childs cognitive
development.
To help attain the MDGs target of universal access to reproductive health services as
well as reduction of maternal and newborn mortality, the survey on Maternal Nutrition
aimed to: assess the level of utilization on pre-natal and post-natal care among
mothers; and ascetain the level of knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) of mothers
on nutrition, health and hygiene. These factors are equally important to help
strengthen care services intended for pregnant women, lactating mothers as well as
the child-bearing age women and to promote the adoption of healthy behaviors for
improving their health and their infants. Information of maternal nutrition were
collected from mothers with children 0-5 years old.
1. Nutritional Status of Mothers with Children 0-5 Years Old by SocioDemographic Characteristics
In assessing the nutritional status of mothers with 0-5 year old children, Body Mass
Index (NCHS/WHO, 1978) was used as a criteria wherein a mother with a BMI of
<18.5 was classified as Chronic Energy Deficient (CED) while 25 and above was
classified as overweight. Chronic energy deficiency is associated with reduce physical
capacity due to deprivation of food over a long period of time. Figure E.1 shows that
9.4% of mothers are underweight while 31.8% are overweight/obese.
117
Figure E.1.
Nutritional status of mothers with children 0-5 years old:

Philippines, 2011
Characterizing the underweight mothers, Figure E.2 shows that mothers 20-29 years
old and were not working have statistically higher risk to CED compared with their
counterparts who were younger less than 20 years old and older 30 years and were
working mothers. In terms of their highest educational attainment, mothers with no
schooling had higher risk to CED but the result was not statistically significant.
Figure E.2.

118
On the other hand, overweight/obesity was statistically higher among teenage

mothers (< 20 years old) and those who were working mothers compared with their
counterparts who were older and not working. In terms of educational attainment,
there was no statistical difference noted among the different groups.

Figure E.4 shows the percentage of underweight and overweight/ obese mothers with
children 0-5 years old by region. Across regions, the highest proportion of
underweight mothers was noted in ARMM (13.0%); CALABARZON (11.8%) and Bicol
(11.5%) which are above the national average. Meanwhile, the highest proportion of
overweight/ obese mothers was noted in NCR (36.1%); Central Luzon (35.1%) and
CALABARZON (33.9%).

Figure E.5 illustrates the percentage of mothers who delivered low birthweight infants
disaggregated by the nutritional status of the mother. Mothers who are chronically
energy deficient or with low BMI (<18.5) have statistically higher risk to deliver low
birth-weight infants. Consequently, low birthweight infants are link with higher risk to
infant mortality based on studies. Result showed that 2 in every 10 underweight
mothers who delivered low birth weight infants in the past 2 years was higher
compared with mothers who were normal and above normal.

2. Utilization of Pre-Natal and Post-Natal Care

About 9 in every 10 mothers had at least one pre-natal visit from a health center, clinic
or hospital during their pregnancy with the youngest child. On the other hand, only
about 4 in every 10 mothers had post-natal visit after delivery with the youngest child.
During pre-natal visits, blood pressure measurement was mostly done (92.5%)
followed by weighing and nutrition counseling at 89% and 87%, respectively. A little
over half (56%) of mothers had received physical examination during their pre-natal
visit. Only about 81% of the mothers received tetanus toxoid during their pre-natal
visit. Moreover, laboratory services such as urinalysis (54%) and blood test (49%) and
ultrasound were not often done during pre-natal check-up (Figure E.6).
Figure E.6.

Taking supplements among women during pregnancy is particularly important for the
mothers as well as developing fetus. Figure E.7 shows that about 9 in every 10
mothers took supplements when pregnant with the youngest child. Across regions,
highest proportion of mothers who took supplements during pregnancy with the
youngest child was noted in Central Visayas (94.9%); Nothern Mindanao (93.4%) and
NCR (91.8%) while ARMM (63.7%) had the lowest estimate.

Pregnant women needs daily iron supplementation to provide enough iron for
placenta, fetus development and expansion of blood volume. Inadequate intake of
iron among pregnant mothers can lead to iron-deficiency anemia which can result to
low birth weight or pre-term delivery. Figure E.8 shows the type of supplements taken
by mothers during pregnancy with the youngest child, iron tablet was higly taken
among 82.2% mothers while multivitamins with iron, folic acid, and iron-folic acid was
taken by 14.3%, 4.7% and 2.5% mothers, respectively.

3. Knowledge, Attitude and Practices of Mothers on Nutrition, Health and

Hygiene
Awareness on the important nutrition/health disorders is shown in Figure E.9,
Hypertension, tuberculosis and iodine deficiency disorders were commonly known by
mothers with children 0-5 years old. Few mothers (31.1%) were aware of night
blindness, an impairment of vision due to vitamin A deficiency particularly during
pregnancy.
Figure E.9.
Awareness of mothers

disorders:
Almost two-third of the mothers did not know the proper duration of exclusive
breastfeeding which is from birth up to 6 months. About 31.0% and 34.0% of mothers
answered that proper duration of exclusive breastfeeding is less than 6 months and
beyond 6 months, respectively. On the other hand, knowledge on the proper
introduction of complementary foods which starts at 6 months was asked among the
mothers. More than than half (50.9%) of mothers knew that infant should be given
complementary foods starting at 6 months (Figure E.10).
Figure E.10. Awareness of mothers on a.) duration of exclusive breastfeeding;

and b.) initiation of complementary feeding: Philippines, 2011
123
Majority of mothers (80.7%) knew that lack of hygienic practices such as feeding
unsafe foods to a child, giving unsafe/contaminated drinking water or poor feeding
practices were the main causes of diarrhea among children 0-5 years old. There were
still 17% of mothers who believed that diarrhea is associated by their own personal
beliefs (Figure E.11).
Figure E.11. Knowledge of mothers on causes of diarrhea among children:

Philippines, 2011
Mothers health-seeking behaviour during childs diarrhea varies from buying over the
counter drugs for self-medication, bringing the child to a health facility, giving OralRehydration Solution (ORS), bringing the child to traditional healer and doing nothing.
Result shows that bringing the child to a health facility was the most common practice,
followed by giving commercial ORS and buying over the counter drugs for self
medication. Bringing the child to traditional healer or albularyo was least practiced by
mothers as seen in Figure E.12.
Figure E.12. Health seeking behaviors of mothers when child gets diarrhea:
Philippines, 2011
124
Promotion of sanitary practices including personal hygiene and hand-washing can be

a promising area of intervention where it could significantly improve the nutritional
status of mothers as well as their children 0-5 years old. Table E.13 shows that
handwashing before eating is highly practiced, followed by hand-washing after eating
by 88.7% and 70.1, respectively. Least practiced by mothers were the handwashing
before feeding the child and after attending to a child who defecated at 35.6% and
30.1%, respectively.
Regional results of maternal nutrition are shown in Appendix Tables E.2 - E.9.

Part F.
Food Insecurity Status of Households
Food insecurity is defined as the limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally

adequate and safe foods or the limited or uncertain ability to acquire acceptable
foods in socially acceptable ways (Anderson, 1990). Involuntary hunger is the
immediate consequence of food insecurity and when recurrent over time results to
undernutrition. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimated 16% of
population in developing countries were affected by hunger (FAO, 2010). Based on
the 7th National Nutrition Survey 2008, acute and chronic hunger among Filipino
children 0-5 years old, in the form of underweight and stunting, respectively, were of
high magnitude (FNRI, 2010). Moreover, at least 70% of Filipino households were
not meeting 100% of energy requirement making these households at risk to various
nutritional and health problems. The consequences of food insecurity on the children
are many and wide ranging: it affects physical and mental development, which in turn
affect their economic productivity later in life.
One of the objectives of the 2011 Updating Survey on Nutritional Status of Filipino
Children and other Population Groups was to re-asses food insecurity in the country
using the Radimer-Cornell food insecurity items. The Radimer-Cornell tool consisted
of 10 simple and easy to ask statements/items: four items are used to assess
household food insecurity and a set of three is used to assess individual food
insecurity based on the experience of the household respondent and children. These
statements/items describe the conditions experienced by food insecure households
and individuals. If household respondent answered yes to at least one of the four
household food insecurity items, the household is considered food insecure, and a
yes answer to at least one of the individual food insecurity items, the respondent,
representing the adults is food insecure. The same is applied to assess if a child is
food insecure or not. The period of reckoning is the past three months prior to the
interview. The tool was administered through face to face interview by the researcher
with the respondent who is usually the mother or any adult member in sample
household. Households included in the analysis are those with children 0-10 years
old who voluntarily consented to answer all the food insecurity items/statements.
Table F.1 shows the Radimer-Cornell food insecurity items and the response
category.

1. Food-Insecure Households
Table F.2 shows the percentage of households who are food insecure based on the
Radimer-Cornell food insecurity items. Of the 21,484 households covered in the
Survey, 69.3% are food insecure as these households affirmed to have experience
at least one of the household food insecurity items at least once during the past three
months prior to the interview. Among the items, the most common experience of
households is Worried that food would run out before household got money to buy
more (67.9%), followed by the uncertainty statement that That food just bought did
not last and do not have enough money to get more (54.7%). Among households
with children 0-10 years old, 41% reported that the children were not eating enough
because household do not have enough food and cannot afford to buy more and
42.3% could not feed the children nutritionally adequate meals because they do not
have enough food and money to buy more.
127
Based on the frequency of food insecurity experience, household food insecurity is

considered a moderate problem since an almost equal proportions of households
who affirmed to the food insecurity items experienced the conditions sometimes
and often during the past three months before the interview.

Figure F.1 shows that the percentage of food insecure households and the 95% CI
by region. Regions that are statistically higher than the national estimate of 69.3%
are ARMM, SOCCSKSARGEN, Bicol, Central Visayas, Northern Mindanao, Western
Visayas and Eastern Visayas. Among these regions, ARMM had the highest
percentage as its 95% CI does not overlap with the other aforementioned regions.
On the other hand, Ilocos, CAR, CALABARZON, Central Luzon and NCR have
statistically lower percentages than the national estimate.
Figure F.1.

Figure F.2 shows the percentage of food insecure households by province. For
graphical presentation, the estimates in percentages are classified into 5 groups: 1)
80.1 and above; 2) 70.1-80; 3) 60.1-70; 4) 50.1-60.0; and 5) 50 and below (<=50).
Of the provinces, 14 out of the 80 provinces or about 18% of the provinces in the
country have at least 80% of households who are food insecure. It is noted that
except for Ifugao and Catanduanes in Luzon, provinces with high percentages of
food insecure households are mostly located in the Visayas groups of islands and
Mindanao.
Between provinces, more than 80% of households in Lanao del Sur, Sulu, TawiTawi, Maguindanao, Catanduanes, Occidental Mindoro, Ifugao, Negros Occidental,
Davao del Sur, Albay, Zamboanga del Norte, Misamis Oriental, Capiz, Bukidnon, and
Bohol are food insecure. While less than 50% of households are found in Apayao,
La Union, Laguna and Zamboanga Sibugay are food insecure.

Norte, Ilocos Sur, Zambales, Rizal, Pangasinan, Cavite, Surigao Norte, Marinduque,
Bataan and NCR are significantly lower than the national estimate. While that in
Ifugao (85.4%), North Cotabato (85.5%) Occidental Mindoro (85.8%), Catanduanes
(87.8%), Maguindanao (89.8%) Tawi-Tawi (93.5%), Sulu (94.3%) and Lanao del Sur
(96.6%) are significantly higher than the national estimates. However, the differences
between these provinces are not significant as their 95% CI are overlapping each
other.

2. Food-Insecure Adults and Children

Table F.4 shows the percentages of adults as represented by the household
respondents and children who are food insecure and the frequency of experience by
item. Results showed that 36.0% of mothers/caregivers respondent are food insecure
for the past three months prior to the interview. Of the three items skipped eating or
missing meals is the most common experienced with 34.3%, 10.3% did not eat for a
whole day and 19.5% felt hungry but did not eat because there was no food or
money to buy food.
Using on the same items to determine children who are food insecure, 22.9% of
children are found food insecure. The most common experience of food insecurity
experienced by children is skipping meals at 21.5% and 13.3% experienced hunger
but did not eat, whereas 7.3% of them did not eat the whole day all because there
was no food or money to buy.
Comparing food insecurity experience between adults and children, results reveal
that the percentage of adults is higher than the percentage of children who skipped
meals or missed meals, not eat the whole day and go hungry when households are
confronted with food insecurity.

35.8%, respectively. Other region with percentage of food insecure adults higher than
the national estimate are noted in Davao (41.9%), Northern Mindanao (41.3%),
Zamboanga (40.4%) and other regions like in Western Visayas, Central Visayas,
MIMAROPA, Bicol, Eastern Visayas.
Results also reveal that aside from ARMM and SOCCSKSARGEN, high proportions
of food insecure children are found in Bicol (27.8%), Northern Mindanao (27.0%) and
MIMAROPA at 26.3%. Inversely, the least percentages of food insecure children are
observed in CALABARZON, Central Luzon and CAR at 16.2%, 15.4% and 7.1%,
respectively.
Figure F.4 presents the percentage of food insecure adults and the 95% CI by
region. It is clearly reveal that the highest percentage of food insecure adults is
significantly highest in ARMM and lowest in CAR as their 95% Cls does not overlap
with the other regions. Other regions with percentage higher than the national
estimates include Northern Mindanao, Davao and SOCCSKSARGEN.

Figure F.5 presents the percentage of food insecure adults by province. Following
the groupings of the estimates, high percentages of food insecure households (>
40%) are mainly found in the Visayas group of island and Mindanao. Figure F.6 on
the other hand shows the percentage of food insecure mothers and the 95% CI by
province. Result reveals that high percentages of food insecure children are
observed in provinces of ARMM like Tawi-Tawi (87.6%), Sulu (86.4%), Lanao del Sur
(79.6%) and Maguindanao (77.9%) which are statistically higher than the other
provinces because their 95% CI does not overlap with the rest of the provinces.
Conversely, percentages in Benguet (6.8%), Apayao (8.4%), Ilocos Norte (11.2%),
Mountain Province (14.3%), Ilocos Sur (15.2%), Aurora (15.9%) and Abra (16.1%)
are significantly lower than the national estimate.

region. And obviously ARMM and SOCCSKSARGEN have significantly higher
percentages of food insecure children, while CAR has significantly the lowest
percentage. Aside from ARMM, regions with higher than the national estimate
include SOCCSKSARGEN (35.8%), Bicol (27.8%), Northern Mindanao (27.0%) and
MIMAROPA.
Figure F.8 shows the percentage of food insecure children by province. Following the
same groupings, more than 40% of food insecure children are found in Sulu, TawiTawi, Maguindanao, Lanao del Sur, Sultan Kudarat and South Cotabato, whereas,

3. Comparison of Food Insecure Households and Children: 2008 and

2011
Comparing the percentage of food insecure households and children, Figures 10 and
11 show the results of the comparative analysis between 2008 and 2011. Generally,
the percentage of households who are food insecure three months prior to the
interview as well as the percentage of households by food insecurity item statistically
decline in 2011 from 2008 (Figure 10). On the contrary, the percentages of children
who are food insecure slightly increase, from 20.2% in 2008 to 22.9% in 2011. By
food insecurity experience, with the exception of ever not eat the whole day, the
percentages of children with experience of skipped eating or missed meal(s) and the
ever hungry but did not eat slightly increased (Figure 11).

4. Coping Mechanisms
Figure F.12 shows the different coping mechanisms adopted by the households
when there is insufficient amount of food. Coping mechanisms are classified into food
and non-food mechanisms. For food coping mechanisms, the most common practice
is purchased food on credit (75.6%), borrow food from relatives (66.3%), reducing
portion sizes of their meals eaten (56.9%), restricting consumption of adults to
protect their child from hunger (54.7%). While, 45.6% agreed that they reduce their
intake/number of meals in a day and some would rely on less expensive foods and
22.2% used to eat exotic/wild foods to fill their empty stomachs.
For non-food coping mechanism, the most common practice is to loan money from
relatives and friends at 74.6%, and 56.8% respectively, and 22.8% of households let
their children to be absent in school.

Participation of Households to Nutrition and

Related Programs
The government program participation survey of household has covered a total of
38,896 sample households. Information was collected about nutrition-related
programs (Vegetable Gardening, Nutrition Education and Iodized Salt); government
assistance program (Botika ng Barangay, Senior Citizen Discount Cards and
Philhealth Care); other programs and services (Free Medical and Dental Services).
Generally, low participation of households to government programs was noted as
shown in Figure G.1. About 6 in every 10 households availed the free medical
services offered by the government, while 5 in every 10 households availed the
government assistance programs such as Philhealth Care and Senior Citizen
discount card. About 4 in every 10 households participated tn the free dental services
and 3 in every 10 household benefited from Botika ng Barangay Program and
Nutrition Education. Only 1 in every 10 household participated in Vegetable
Gardening.

1.1 Botika ng Barangay

Botika ng Barangay is a government program which refers to a drug outlet
managed by a legitimate organization/NGO supervised by a trained operator and
pharmacist established in the barangay. This program is in accordance with DOH
Administrative Order No. 144 s.2004. Figure G.2 shows the percentage of
households that availed the Botika ng Barangay Program. About 3 in every 10
households availed the Botika ng Barangay program. Across the regions, higher
participation were found in Mindanao which includes Northern Mindanao(44.0%),
followed by Davao Region (39.6%) and CARAGA (39.2%), while only 20.1% of
households in Central Visayas benefited from the program. Figure G.3 shows the
percentage of households that availed the Botika ng Barangay Program by region
with 95% confidence interval. Regions that have statistically lower percentage
participation than the national estimate (27.6%) were Central Visayas, Eastern
Visayas and NCR. Figure G.4 shows the comparison of households that availed the
Botika ng Barangay Program by region between 2008 and 2011. In general, the
percentage of households that availed the Botika ng Barangay Program decline from
33.9% in 2008 to 27.6% in 2011. In contrast, availment of Botika ng Barangay in
regions such as CAR, Central Visayas, Northern Mindanao, CARAGA, and ARMM
have increased.

Free Medical Services
Basic health services aim to improve the peoples quality of life through the
attainment of the highest possible care. Free Medical Services give direct health and
medical attention to the marginalized sector of the population in all of health centers
and government hospital nationwide. Figure G.5 shows the percentage of
households that availed of DOHs Free Medical Services. More than half (57.7%) of
the households in the entire Philippines availed the program. Among the regions,
households in CARAGA have the highest participation (70.8%) while households in
Ilocos Region have the lowest participation (47.0%). Percent of households
participating in Free Medical Services by region with 95% confidence interval is
shown in Figure G.6. Regions from Ilocos, Central Luzon, Cagayan VaIley, and
CALABARZON Region have significantly lower percent participation of households
than the national average (57.7%).

periodontal disease by 60% by the end of 2016. The program seeks to achieve this
objective by providing preventive, curative, and promotive dental health care to
Filipinos through a lifecycle approach. Percent of households participating in Free
Dental Services by region is shown in Figure G.7. In general, about 2/5 or 40% of the
households in the entire country benefited from the Free Dental Services. Across the
regions, highest participation was noted among households in CARAGA (52.1%),
followed by NCR (49.4%) and Northern Mindanao (47.4%), lowest participation was
noted in ARMM (29.2%). Figure G.8 shows the percentage of households
participating in Free Dental Services by region with 95% confidence interval. Notably,
regions that have statistically lower percentage participation than the national
estimate (40.0%) were ARMM, Ilocos Region, Bicol Region, CALABARZON, Central
Luzon and Zamboanga Peninsula.

1.4 Philhealth
Philhealth was created to create a universal health coverage for all Filipinos. Its goal
is to ensure a sustainable national health insurance program for all. This is a joint
project of the Department of Health and the Philippines Health Insurance Corporation
(PHIC) in keeping with the government promise to give to each and every Filipino
access to quality healthcare. This means that every Filipino should have access to
high quality health care that is efficient, accessible, equitably distributed, adequately
funded, fairly financed, and direct conjunction with an informed and empowered
public. Figure G.9 shows the percentage of households participating in Philhealth by
region. Almost half (48.8%) of the households in the entire Philippines benefited from
the program. Among the regions, households in Northern Mindanao (77.0%) had the
highest participation in Philhealth while households in ARMM had the lowest
participation (35.1%). Percent of households participating in Philhealth by region with
95% confidence interval is shown in Figure G.10. Regions from ARMM,
CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, and Cagayan VaIley and NCR have significantly lower
percent participation of households than the national average (48.8%).

Senior Citizen Program
A senior citizen or elderly refers to any resident citizen of the Philippines at least sixty
(60) years old. Under the Republic Act. No. 9994 or the Expanded Senior Citizen Act
of 2010, the senior citizen shall be entitled to the following: The grant of 20%
discount and exemption on the purchase of medicines, on the professional fees, on
medical and dental services, actual fare for land and transportation travel on public
utility vehicles, on utilization of services in hotels and similar lodging establishments,
restaurant and recreation centers, on admission charges by cinema houses;
exemption from payment of individual income taxes; and grant of five percent
discount to utilities expenses; free medical, dental services, diagnostic and laboratory
fees. Percent of households participating in Senior Citizen Program by region is
shown in Figure G.11. Generally, more than half (53.9%) of the households in the
entire Philippines availed from the Senior Citizen Program. Across the regions,
highest participation was noted among households in NCR (71.2%). About 6 out of
10 households in Western Visayas, Ilocos Region, Eastern Visayas, Central Visayas,
Davao Region, and Northern Mindanao participated in the program. Lowest
participation was noted in ARMM (17.1%). Figure G.12 shows the percentage of
households participating in Senior Citizen Program by region with 95% confidence
interval. In particular, regions that have statistically lower percentage participation
than the national estimate (53.9%) were ARMM, Cagayan Valley, Zamboanga
Peninsula and MIMAROPA, CAR and CALABARZON.

1.6 Nutrition Education

Nutrition education program aimed to influence behaviour towards adoption of more
positive nutrition related practices, eating nutritious and safe foods. Examples are
mothers class, food demonstrations, reading newsprints, listening over various radio
programs in nutrition, surfing through internet, public lectures and promotional
campaign on television. Figure G.13 shows the percentage of households
participating in Nutrition Education Program by region. Generally, more than onefourth (26.5%) of the households in the entire Philippines benefited from the program.
Among the regions, households in Northern Mindanao (39.3%) had the most number
of participation in Nutrition Education, followed by Davao Region (34.2%) and Central
Visayas (33.0%) while only 10.8% of households in ARMM participated the program
which and had the lowest participation. Percent of households participating in
Nutrition Education Program by region with 95% confidence interval is shown in
Figure G.14. Regions from ARMM, Cagayan Valley, Ilocos Region, and Eastern
Visayas have significantly lower percent participation of households than the national
average (26.5%). Figure G.15 shows the comparison of households that availed the
Nutrition Education Program by region between 2008 and 2011. In general, the
percentage of households that availed the Nutrition Education Program increased
from 13.1% in 2008 to 26.5% in 2011. Notably, among the regions, participation of
Nutrition Education Program only decline in Zambaonga Peninsula from 2008 to
2011.

Vegetable Gardening Program
The vegetable gardening program such as the Gulayang Masa sa Barangay,

Gulayan sa Eskuwela were strongly advocated and likewise implemented because of
the disturbing result on low consumption of vegetables in the Filipino diet. Percent of
households participating in Vegetable Gardening Program by region is shown in
Figure G.16. Despite the tremendous effort of the government to implement the
program, only 1/10 or 12.9% of the households in the entire Philippines participated
from the Vegetable Gardening Program. Across the regions, higher participation
were noted among households in CARAGA (25.3%), Cagayan Valley (23.9), Bicol
Region (23.0), Northern Mindanao (22.9%) and MIMAROPA (21.8%). Only a few
(2.0%) households participated in Vegetable Gardening in NCR. Figure G.17 shows
the percentage of households participating in Vegetable Gardening Program by
region with 95% confidence interval. In particular, regions that have statistically lower
percentage participation than the national estimate (12.9%) were NCR, ARMM,
Ilocos Region, Central Luzon and CALABARZON.

2. Iodized Salt
Iodine Deficiency Disorder (IDD) is a common cause of preventable mental
retardation. It also affects the mothers reproductive function and impedes childrens
learning capacity. The prevalence of IDD among school children 6-12 years old in the
country have shown improvement from mild IDD prevalence in 1998 to optimum
iodine nutriture in 2008. This improvement can be attibuted to the salt iodization
program. The ASIN Law or RA. 8172 requires all food grade salt to be iodized. It
also mandates all salt producers and traders to make iodized salt available to
Filipinos. Iodized salt is defined as ordinary salt to which iodine in the form of
potassium iodate or potassium iodide was added.
Results of the iodized salt survey showed that at the time of the survey, nearly 4/5 or
78.7% of the households claimed they were aware of iodized salt (Figure G.18).
Across the regions, highest awareness on iodized salt was noted among households
in CALABARZON (90.2%) while the lowest was found in ARMM (29.3%). Figure
G.19 shows the percent awareness on iodized salt among the households by region
with 95% confidence interval. Regions from ARMM, Eastern Visayas, Zamboanga
Peninsula, and CARAGA have significantly lower percent awareness on iodized salt
of households than the national average (78.7%).

Of the total households, 46.6% are claimed users of iodized salts (Figure G.20).
Among the regions, more than 60% of the households in CAR and in Cagayan Valley
claimed using iodized salt. In Northern Mindanao , more than half of the households
claimed using iodized salt while 1 out of 10 households in ARMM were claimed users
of iodized salt. Regions that have statistically lower percentage of iodized salt users
than the national estimate (46.6%) were ARMM, Western Visayas, Central Luzon,
and Eastern Visayas, Zamboanga Peninisula and Ilocos Region. (Figure G.21).
Figure G.20.

157
Figure G.21.

Comparing the result of the 2011 Survey than that of the 2008 data, awareness on
iodized salt remained unchanged. Usage of iodized salt however, increased from
41.9% in 2008 to 46.6% in 2011 and the increased was found to be highly significant
(Figure G.22).
Figure G.22.
Trends in the awareness and usage of iodized salt among

households: Philippines, 1998-2011
158
On-site testing of household salt was done during the field data collection using a salt
testing solution to determine if the salt is iodized or not. A change of color in salt
after the addition of the test kit solution indicates the presence of potassium iodate,
an indication that the salt was iodized. If there is no change in color, it indicates that
the salt is not iodized or the fortificant in salt is the potassium iodide. Locally,
potassium iodate is being used by the manufacturers because of its strong resistance
to hot climate such as the Philippines.
The result of the salt testing have shown that, majority of the household salts reacted
positively to the salt testing solution indicating the presence of potassium
iodate..Among the regions, CARAGA, SOCCSKSARGEN, Davao, CAR, Bicol, and
Eastern Visayas had the most number of households whose salt reacted positively to
salt testing solution. Central Luzon and Zamboanga Peninsula had the most number
of households salt with negative reaction to salt testing solution (Figure G.23).
Percent of household salts that reacted positively to potassium iodate by region with
95% confidence interval is shown in Figure G.24. In general, regions that have
statistically lower percentage of household salts positive to potassium iodate
compared with the national estimate (80.1%) were found in Zamboanga Peninsula,
Central Luzon, ARMM, and MIMAROPA.

Comparing the result of on-site testing of household salts positive to potassium

iodate between 2008 and 2011 survey periods showed a slight decrease of 1
percentage point from the 2008 data. The decrease was found to be statistically
significant (Figure G.25).

the salt testing solution: Philippines, 2003-2011
160
The salt testing solution (MBI test kit) used during the 2011 Survey determines the
test level of iodine (in ppm) of household salt by a change in color of salt when the
solution is added, and these are the following: from white to dark violet - 15 ppm
iodine level; white to slight violet -1 to <15 ppm iodine level and no change in color zero ppm.
Using the MBI test kit category, the results showed that for the entire Philippines,
54% of household salt had iodine content of 15 ppm while, 26% had 1 to <15 ppm
and about 20% with zero ppm iodine content. Among the regions, household salts in
CAR, Bicol Region, Davao Region, SOCCSKSARGEN, and CARAGA had more than
15 ppm iodine content. Central Luzon and zamboanga Peninsula had the most
number of household salts with zero iodine content (Figure G.26).
Provincial results of the participation of households to nutrition and related programs
are shown in Appendix Tables G.1 - G.11.

CHAPTER IV
CONCLUSION
AND
CHALLENGES
163
The problem of undernutrition among Filipino children 0-10 years old and other
population groups including the pregnant women and lactating mothers remain
unchanged for nearly 2 decades (1993-2011). For children 0-10 years old, stunting
was more of a problem than underweight, although both forms of undernutrition were
still prevalent at high to very high levels while wasting was serious in magnitude.
Overweight on the other hand, for both groups of children was low, but was slowly
and continuously increasing over the years.
Analyzing the trend by age, both prevalence of underweight and stunting increase
with increasing age and continued to increase from birth until the 3rd year, indicating
that children in these age groups are inappropriately and inadequately fed. At
population level, underweight among children 0 to 1 year was medium in magnitude,
this increased to high levels among the 2 to 3 years old.
Stunting on the other hand was low among children less than 1 year old and
dramatically went up to high levels on the 1st and 2nd year and very high among the 3
years old. Stunting reflects chronic or long term undernutrition. Occurrence of
stunting among infants 0 to 5 months might be reflective of poor maternal nutrition.
When the child reached the age of 6 to 11 months old, further increased in the
prevalence of underheight might be attributed to inappropriate feeding practices such
as inadequate and untimely introduction of complementary foods. Prevalence of
stunting further double when the child reached 1 year old, that can be ascribed to
prolonged inadequacies of food intake in terms of quality and quantity, and
recurrence of illness or infections that eventually slowed downed their skeletal growth
resulting to linear growth retardation. The impact of stunting is lasting and
irreversible, and without further intervention in the first two years of life, this may
predispose them to severe illnesses, developmental delays and possibly even death.
Identify efforts to curb chronic malnutrition particularly in the 1st two years of life to
prevent risk to delayed mental development, poor school performance and reduced
intellectual capacity. Arrest overnutrition in children, adults and lactating mothers to
prevent both short term and long term health consequences to non-communicable
diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer by intensifying
promotion on physical and healthy lifestyle programs.
The slight improvement on infant feeding practices, specifically on practice of
exclusive breastfeeding, ever breastfeeding and complementary feeding, is still
below the global recommendation. IYCF practices can be improved further by
disseminating IYCF messages intensively and extensively at grass roots levels. This
will also address mothers inadequate knowledge and subsequently improve infant
feeding practices. Furthermore, the strict implementation and monitoring of RA 10028
in all government and private health institutions as mandated to implement roomingin to support breastfeeding in the workplace and EO 51 known as the Milk Code
should be reinforced. The less diverse and poor quality of food given to children calls
for the reformulation or development of affordable, culturally acceptable and easy to
prepare complementary foods/recipes (processed or home-prepared).
Educating mothers on the proper selection of complementary foods given to children
should also be looked into and intensify. Other avenues for interpersonal means of
165
delivering basic nutrition knowledge and that of IYCF should be explored in the Day
Care Centers where mothers are usually present, during pre-and post natal visits, GP
and during medical missions. Universities and colleges offering nutrition courses,
both public and private, should also take active role in disseminating IYCF and
nutrition knowledge in the homes of mothers during their field practicum or out-reach
programs.
There is also a need to strengthen mother support system for breastfeeding within
the family, the workplace and the community, and within the society. Intensify
capacity building in infant and young children feeding among program implementers
like mothers, caregivers, health workers, and the community in general.
Addressing the poor nutritional status of pregnant women is the most cost effective
and efficient approach to break the vicious inter-generational cycle of undernutrition.
The first 1000 days of child life the nine months in the womb and the childs 2nd
birthday offer a unique window of opportunity to provide right nutrition, thereby having
a profound impact on childs ability to grow and develop. The importance of the first
1000 days reinforces an integrative approach of the Maternal-Newborn-Child Health
and Nutrition (MNCHN) and the improved delivery of its services to improve access
and sustained participation of mothers.
Recognizing the crucial role of breastfeeding, the Department of the Interior and
Local Government (DILG) should enforce and make into local ordinance the
Memorandum Circular 2011-54 which enjoins all local chief executives and the
Regional Governor, and ARMM, the strict implementation and monitoring of the
national policy on breastfeeding and setting-up of workplace lactation program. This
includes RA 10028 known as the Expanded Promotion of Breastfeeding Act of 2009
and EO 51 known as the National Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes,
Breastmilk Supplements and other Related Products.
While pursuing preventive measures to curtail undernutrition among children,
wellness programs should also be integrated into the public health system to address
the increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity in the adult population. Creating
early awareness on proper food selection and healthy eating should start at homes
and intensified in schools. Educating teenagers on healthy choice and eating, and
lifestyle, including lectures on teenage pregnancy shall be conducted in order to
reduce the onset of overweight/obesity and the intergenerational cycle of
malnutrition. Nutrition assistance to vulnerable groups of women and supplementary
feeding should be one of the priorities under the maternal and child nutrition and
health programs.
Priority attention should be given to the most nutritionally vulnerable groups of
mothers which include those who are adolescent mothers with no education and
work.
Nutrition improvement in convergence with health preventive measures/programs
should be intensively promoted and campaigned at the local level to ensure active
participation of households and children to achieve the targets of EPI, vitamin A
supplementation and the ASIN law.
