Although the children's total protein intake was sufficient, their energy intake was low. A low median intake of micronutrients prevailed, including iron, zinc, calcium, niacin, riboflavin, thiamine and vitamins C, B<jats:sub>6<\/jats:sub>, A and D. The prevalence of being underweight (JS = 19.8%; JBM = 18.8%), stunted (JS = 29%; JBM = 21.5%) and wasted (JS = 6.5%; JBM = 3.7%) were fairly similar in both areas, as well as the prevalence of marginal vitamin A deficiency, anaemia, iron deficiency and parasite infestations. No significant associations could be found between household and nutritional status indicators, probably due to the small number of well-nourished children and the generally poor household situation of the participants.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1368980000000343_sec06\" sec-type=\"conclusion\"><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The generally poor nutritional status and environmental conditions emphasize the urgency of intervention for these children.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s1368980000000343","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,6,4]],"date-time":"2008-06-04T21:29:38Z","timestamp":1212614978000},"page":"303-312","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Nutritional status of preschool children in informal settlement areas near Bloemfontein, South Africa"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"A","family":"Dannhauser","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"CJ","family":"Bester","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G","family":"Joubert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"PN","family":"Badenhorst","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M","family":"Slabber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"AM","family":"Badenhorst","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E","family":"Du Toit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"HC","family":"Barnard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P","family":"Botha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"L","family":"Nogabe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,1,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"S1368980000000343_ref007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1753-4887.1973.tb07041.x"},{"key":"S1368980000000343_ref019","volume-title":"Protein Energy Malnutrition","author":"Waterlow","year":"1992"},{"key":"S1368980000000343_ref017","volume-title":"The Assessment of the Nutritional Status of the Community","author":"Jelliffe","year":"1966"},{"key":"S1368980000000343_ref018","first-page":"441","volume-title":"Human Nutrition and Dietetics","author":"Golden","year":"1993"},{"key":"S1368980000000343_ref001","first-page":"115","article-title":"The state of the world's children 1998: a UNICEF report \u2013 malnutrition: causes, consequences, and solutions","volume":"56","year":"1998","journal-title":"Nutr.
