dc.description.abstractObjective: The present study assessed the prevalance of chronic malnutrition in relation to some variables in children attending the first grade schools in Hasanköy Health District, Konya, Turkey. Materials and methods: The study was carried out on 680 students from ten primary schools in the area. The heights of the students were measured without shoes and the weights only with uniforms. Chronic malnutrition was assessed when the "height-for-age Z-score" was below - 2 standard deviations, as recommended by National Centern for Health Statistics/Center for Disease Control (NCHS/CDC). Results: The prevalence of chronic malnutrition was 15.0 %. The chronic malnutrition rate was higher above seven-year-old children (p<0.05). Chronic malnutrition was not affected by gender or school type (p>0.05) Chronic malnutrition tended to be lower with the increase in father's education level (p<0.05). However no differences were found between chronic malnutrition and the mother's education level (p>0.05). Conclusions: These findings suggest that chronic malnutrition is an important problem in school age children and health nutrition should be included in the school curriculum.en_US
