How many are

malnourished? Analysis:

• Check data on OPT Plus Results

• Prevalence calculation using the formula where A is the total
number of the population group to be calculated and B is the
number of the population group that has malnutrition

Assessing the nutrition situation:
Developing the Modified Problem Tree

• The modified problem tree

is created by the BNC to
identify each problem and
causes of malnutrition in
the barangay and to see the
relationship between each
causes.

• Each identified type of

malnutrition is made into a
problem tree.
Assessing the nutrition situation:
Steps in developing the Modified Problem Tree

Step 1. Write above the main

problem of nutrition. Below,
write the two causes that refer
to the immediate causes of
malnutrition.
Assessing the nutrition situation:

Step 2. Write in the next level

of the problem tree the causes
that determine the underlying
causes of malnutrition.
Assessing the nutrition situation:

Step 3. Once the modified

problem tree is complete, it
can be further expanded by
including the consequences of
malnutrition

• Bilang ng buntis sa komunidad

• Bilang ng mga batang 0 – 6 buwang gulang;
• Bilang ng mga batang 7 – 11 buwang gulang;
• Bilang ng mga batang 12 – 24 buwang gulang;
• Bilang ng mga batang 25 – 35 buwang gulang;

Maaring matukoy na dito ang datos at lugar/purok na may matataas na kaso ng

malnutrition, lugar kung saan ang mga buntis and NAR Pregnant Women.
