Child labour is one of the serious problems of the present society which ultimately harms the child physically, mentally, morally, educationally as well as socially. The present investigation was designed to study the socio-economic condition, problems of child labourers and nutritional status of child labourers working in Bhubaneswar city. Data on one hundred child labourers (8-14 years) were collected randomly with the help of personal interview-cum-questionnaire method.

Malnutrition is one of the most important risk factor for illness and death of the children. A cross sectional study was conducted among one hundred children belonged to the age group of 0-5 years in tribal areas of Malkanagiri district, Odisha to know their health status by anthropometric measurements and clinical assessment. It was observed that 60 per cent of the respondents were suffering from grade III and grade - IV degrees of malnutrition belonged to the age group of 7-12 months. Mean weight, height and mid upper Arm Circumference of the respondents was found to be lesser than ICMR and Wolanski standard, respectively. The percentage of deficiency was found to be more in case of boys in comparison to girls and also found to increase with advancement of age. Visible Severe wasting (45%) irritable (30%) and lethargy (22%) pallor (56%), dehydration (50%) and Severe B/L pedal edema (12%) were the most common clinical symptoms found among the respondents. Thus, it can be concluded that illiteracy, ignorance and low income of the parents were the most important factors in prevalence of malnutrition among the respondents.Keywords

Keeping these facts in mind the present research is designed to study the "Nutritional Status and Traditional Health culture of Tribal women in Odisha". One hundred literate tribal women of Jashipur block of Mayurbhanj districts of Odisha were selected by random purposive sampling method for the present study. The data was collected by questionnaire cum interview method. The results of the study revealed that majority of the respondents belonged to 25-40 years of age group having agriculture as primary occupation. All of them belong to low income group. Most of the respondents had normal BMI. Malaria and joint pain was their common health problem. 98 per cent of the respondents were non-vegetarian and were taking three meals per day. Parboiled price was their staple food. "Handia" prepared out of Rice and Bakhara was their common beverage. Milk and meat products, sugar and Jaggery, pulses were found to be less in their diet in comparison to RDA. Their diet was found to be excess in energy, iron and calcium. They were taking various types of foods to get relief from different diseases such as Bug with banana for piles, Handia rasi and Pedipedica leave for Jaundice, Burnt Skin and ear of goat for dyscentry etc. Different types of foods used by them related to reproduction were Palta medicine for son, babul leaves for fair baby, Runja seeds for abortion etc. Health practice for recovery from some type of health problems were burning with fire the effective area and putting bhalia on it for eczema, scald with hot iron on head for migrain etc. 100 per cent of the respondents were found to believe in magic treatment and herbal treatment for getting relief from their illness.

Diabetes is a disease in which either pancreas does not make enough insulin or there is insulin resistance, so that the glucose is unutilized by the liver, muscle and fat tissue properly. With diabetes for longer period of time the small blood vessels (micro) in the body are injured. When the blood vessels in the kidneys are injured, kidneys can not clean blood properly. Body will retain more water and salt than it should, which results in weight gain and ankle swelling which may have protein in urine. This may lead to diabetic nephropathy. The overall objective of this study was to asses diet and life style of the patients suffering from Diabetic Nephropathy. A cross-sectional study was carried out on 100 Diabetic people with nephritic syndrome. The study carried out by investigating patient's family background, medical past history, physical examination, nutritional and lifestyle assessment, physical activity assessment, medical and nutritional problems associated with the help of interview cum questionnaire method. The results of the study revealed that majority of the respondents had diabetes with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and were suffering from Chronic Energy deficiency BMI. Fatigue and odema were the common symptoms found among most of the respondents. Starchy, spicy and too much sweet food was preferred by the patients. Taking 2-3 litres of soft water per day was observed among the respondents. Cereals, pulses, fats and oil, Milk and salt consumption was found to be less in comparison RDA in both male and female respondents which may be due to their ill health and dietary restriction. A positive trend was found in maintaining active style, taking regular diet and regular medicine and doing regular health check up among majority of the respondents which may be due to the impact of education, urbanization and mass media. Thus it can be suggested that controlling diabetes with high blood pressure, restricting protein and salt in the diet and maintaining active life style may be a solution to this problem.Keywords

Tribal people are socio-economically disadvantaged compared to other population group with regard to their food habits, dietary pattern and life style. Geographical isolation, lack of formal education, sociocultural taboos coupled with poverty lead them to development of various morbidities. keeping these facts in mind the present research is designed to study the “Dietary assessment of Tribal lactating mothers in Koraput district of Odisha”. One hundred lactating mothers of Koraput block and Damanjodi block of Koraput district of Odisha were selected by random purposive sampling method for the present study. The data was collected by questionnaire cum interview method. The results of the study revealed that majority of the respondents belonged to 19-25 years of age group having agriculture as primary occupation. All of them belonged to low income group. Most of the respondents had normal delivery. 100% immunization of mothers by TT injection was observed in surveyed population. In majority cases age at first delivery was 20-25 years. Only 8% respondents were not taking supplement from AWC due to poor quality food and long distance of their home. 96 per cent of the respondents were non-vegetarian and were taking three meals per day .Their diet was found to be dominated by rice, ischolar_mains and tubers and other vegetables. Milk and meat product, sugar, oil and pulses were found to be less in their diet in comparison to RDA. Their diet was found to be less than RDA i.e. Energy (3253.18 kcal), protein (67.12 g), fat (36.98 g), calcium (910.69 g) and iron (18.22 g) for 0-6 months lactating mothers and Energy (3197.58 kcal), protein (51.95 g), fat (32.99 g), calcium (910.12 g) and iron (12.95 g) for 7-12 lactating mothers. Different food fads and fallacies prevailed in that area were-rice flake and sago for better lactation, dry ginger for control bleeding. Pumpkin, bitter gourd, malayu (poi) etc. were avoided as they cause stomach disorder both in mothers and infants such as acidity and diarrhea. Thus it can be concluded that the community need women education to improve their health status by wise use of available food stuffs and government should provide good quality of supplementary foods to meet the dietary need of lactating mothers.Keywords
