98. The following are strategies
to combat micronutrient
deficiency EXCEPT:
A. Food fortification
B. Complementation of
intervention
C. Diet diversification
D. Micronutrient
A
● Stunting is also known as low height-for-age.
o It is the result of chronic or recurrent undernutrition, usually
associated with poor socioeconomic conditions, poor maternal
health and nutrition, frequent illness, and/or inappropriate
infant and young child feeding and care in early life.
C
Iodine, vitamin A, and iron are the most important in global public
health terms; their deficiency represents a major threat to the health
and development of populations worldwide, particularly children and
pregnant women in low-income countries
Iron Deficiency
● Iron deficiency is the most prevalent form of malnutrition
worldwide.
● Iron is an essential mineral critical for motor and cognitive
development.
● Children and pregnant women are especially vulnerable to the
consequences: low hemoglobin concentration (anemia) affects
43% of children 5 years of age and 38% of pregnant women
globally.
● Anemia during pregnancy increases the risk of maternal and
perinatal mortality and low birth weight.
● In adults it causes fatigue and reduced work capacity and may
cause reproductive impairment.
D
● Hunger and food insecurity in 2015 with 68.3% of Filipino
households not meeting their caloric requirements
The other 3 indicators are for malnutrition in general.
A
● Wasting is also known as low weight-for-height.
o It usually indicates recent and severe weight loss, because a
person has not had enough food to eat and/or they have had
an infectious disease, such as diarrhea, which has caused
them to lose weight.
B
INTERVENTIONS AND STRATEGIES
1. Micronutrient Supplementation- provision of
pharmaceutically prepared vitamins & minerals for treatment
or prevention of specific micronutrient deficiency.
2. Food Fortification- the addition of essential micronutrients to
widely consumed food product at levels above its normal state.
3. Improving diet/ dietary diversification- the adoption of proper
 supplementation food and nutrition practices thru nutrition education food
production & consumption.
Growth monitoring and promotion- educational strategy for
promoting child health, human development and quality of life
through sequential measurement of physical growth and
development of individuals in the community.
99. Which of the following foods B/D
has iron as its fortificant? MANDATORY FOOD FORTIFICATION
A. Refined sugar ● Mandatory fortification of the following staple foods
B. Wheat 1. Rice - with Iron
C. Cooking oil 2. Wheat flour - with Vitamin A and Iron
D. Rice 3. Refined sugar - with Vitamin A
4. Cooking oil with Vitamin A
● Manufacturers should also include on the label a statement of
“nutrition facts” indicating the nutrient(s) and their quantity
