This document discusses malnutrition among children in developing countries and its effects. It notes that over one-third of children under 5 in developing nations have stunted growth. Malnourished children face higher mortality risks and are also more likely to have delays in motor development, impaired cognitive abilities, and poorer academic performance. Improving children's nutrition could help reduce health risks, maximize development, and boost school performance. The background introduces a research proposal examining factors associated with the nutritional status of Grade II students at a school in the Philippines.

Part I INTRODUCTION Background of the study
A healthy nutrition means a balanced mixture of
all food nutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates, facts, vitamins and some minerals. Fiber is needed to keep the bowel healthy. Nutrition appear to be important for optimum intellectual decelopment.The nutritional status is the result of the application of healthy nutrition knowledge gainef from birth. We have learned that government tries to meet the needs of children, adapting to particular situation and priorities. Under its basic services strategy teachers assist government in developing child health and applied nutrition. Particular attention is paid to the nutrition among children. Malnutrition has been factor in the low academic performance of children in school and loss and nearly all young lives. Based on the finding that
malnutrition is affecting millions of our people and that
there is a close interlinking relationship between food, education, nutrition. Clearly,there is a need for a survey on the nutritional status of children. Childhood malnutrition remains a common problem in much of the developing world. A recent comprehensive report on the global nutritional situation, which was prepared by the World Health Organization using data collected from 1980 to 1992, indicates that more than one- third of children less than five years of age is developing countries have a heights for age less than 2 standard deviations (SD) with respect to international references data(de Onis el al, 19930).
