The annual conduct of Operation 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘨 (OPT) Plus will not be complete without the “Plus”, which is the height or length measurement.

For children measured in a standing position, height is taken. This is usually done to children aged 24-59 months old (2-5 years old). On the other hand, length measurement is done when a child is measured while lying down. Length is taken among children 0-23 months old (0-2 years old) and to those children who are older than two (2) years old but are not able to stand upright.

Height or length measurement has been an integral part of the OPT Plus since 2012 by virtue of the NNC Governing Board Resolution No. 2, series of 2012, “Approving the Revised Implementing Guidelines on Operation 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘨 (OPT) Plus”. Height or length measurement has been included in the OPT Plus as the combination of the child’s height and weight measurements aid best in determining the child’s nutritional status. By taking height or length, one will know the child’s height- or length-for-age status (stunted, normal, or tall) and weight-for-height or -length status (wasted, normal, or overweight/obese).

In taking the child’s height/length, appropriate measurement tools must be used. Recommended measuring tools for length and height-taking are infantometer and vertical height board or stadiometer, respectively. Prior to taking the length/height of children, a few reminders must be observed:

1. Headboard is secure and in place. Foot piece is straight and slides smoothly.
2. Numbers in the board are legible and easy to read, and the unit is at 0.1 cm.
3. Calibrated within the past three (3) years and verified within one (1) year with signed sticker.

It is just as important to follow appropriate procedures in measuring length or height. Get the accurate length and height data by following the step-by-step procedure below:

𝗟𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁

In doing length measurement, the child is measured while in a lying/supine position. This should be accomplished by at least (2) two people along with the child’s mother or caregiver to keep the child calm and relaxed while being measured. To make the child comfortable, a thin cloth can be placed attached to the board. Remove the child’s shoes, head or hair ornaments, and lower garments (including the diaper, if possible) as this can contribute to inaccurate measurement.

1. Place the measuring board on a hard flat and stable surface on the floor or on the table. The movable headboard should be adjusted freely.
2. Inform the mother/caregiver about the conduct of length measurement and why it is conducted.
3. Place the child lying in the middle of the measuring board, with the head against the side of the fixed headboard.
4. The assistant must hold the sides of the child’s head, making sure that it firmly touches the fixed headboard with the child’s hair flattened.
5. Ensure that the child’s line of sight is at the right angle to the measuring board. (90 degrees). The child’s eyes should be looking straight up.
6. Measurer will hold the child’s legs and stretch them gently while keeping one hand on the knees to avoid bending. After positioning the child’s legs, the measurer will pull the sliding footboard until it touches firmly to the child’s soles.
7. Measurer will read the measurement at 90 degrees angle to the axis of the board vertically.
8. Child’s length is read by the measurer and recorded to the nearest 0.1 centimeter by the assistant.

𝗛𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁

Similar to length measurement, the measurer, assistant and the child’s parent or caregiver should work together. Remove the child’s socks or footwear and any head or hair ornaments that may result in an inaccurate measurement.

1. Place the vertical height board on a level surface, and if possible, against a wall, ensuring that the board is not moving.
2. Explain to the mother/caregiver the conduct and purpose of height measurement.
3. Let the child stand in an upright position. Make sure that the back of the head, shoulder blades, buttocks, calves, and heels touch the vertical board.
4. Keep the child’s legs and feet flat by holding his/her knees and ankles and prevent him/her from standing on his/her toes.
5. Position the head and instruct the child to look straight ahead to make sure that his/her sight is perpendicular to the ground. Put thumb and forefinger over the child’s chin, keeping the head in an upright position.
6. Using the other hand, pull down the movable headpiece and ensure it firmly touches the child’s head, making sure it pushes through his/her hair.
7. After securing that the child is in the right position, the child’s height is read at eye level and recorded by the assistant to the nearest 0.1 centimeter.
Generally, 0-23 month old children are measured lying down, while 24-59 month old children are measured standing up. However, there are instances this is not followed due to the child’s inability to stand or refusal to lie down. In this case, necessary adjustments will be applied in taking the measurement accordingly:

• If a 0-23 month old child was measured standing up, add 0.7 centimeters to the acquired measurement.
• If a 24-59 month old child was measured lying down, subtract 0.7 centimeters to the obtained measurement.

OPT Plus is used as an indicator to measure the quality of nutrition programs and interventions, as a guide for identifying priority areas for nutrition programming, and as a basis for targeting when developing a local nutrition action plan.

OPT Plus 𝘛𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘶𝘬𝘢𝘵, 𝘌𝘬𝘴𝘢𝘬𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘒𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘥 (𝘛𝘚𝘌𝘒) provides accurate measurement that gives better picture on the actual situation of nutrition in the community. (Nutrition Officer II Keishe Jan T. Aban/ nnc_x@yahoo.com / 0963-109-0198)

𝗢𝗣𝗧 𝗣𝗹𝘂𝘀 𝗧𝗦𝗘𝗞: 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲

The first quarter of the year is one of the busiest times for the health and nutrition volunteers especially the Barangay Nutrition Scholars for the conduct of Operation 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘨 (OPT) Plus.

OPT Plus is the regular growth assessment for children aged 0-59 months old (0-5 years old), done by a trained OPT Plus team. It involves planning, follow-up, and data quality check activities. This is conducted to generate data on nutritional status of children, and identify and locate the malnourished children for referral to relevant nutrition and nutrition-related services. Specifically, OPT Plus provides parents with information on the nutritional status of their child to prevent malnutrition and guide them on the growth and development of their child.

Among the indicators quantified during OPT Plus is the weight-for-age and weight-for-length/height. Weight gain is an indicator of growth while weight loss or no change in weight are indicators of poor growth.

Taking weight includes the recommended measurement tools, knowledge and skills to ensure accuracy.

The mechanical hanging weighing scale is commonly used during the OPT Plus for it is designed to be used for children less than five (5) years old. The hanging weighing scale can weigh up to 25 kg and is graduated by 0.1 kg (100g) increments.

Prior to weighing of children, a few reminders must be observed:

1. Hooks are complete and in good condition. Needle or pointer is moving freely. The scale has no broken parts.
2. Adjustment screw is working and weighing pants are clean and without tear.
3. Rope is strong, long enough, and tied well.
4. Nutrition workers should make sure that the weighing scale is within tolerable limits of accuracy and detect equipment deterioration beyond the tolerable levels of accuracy.
5. Weighing scale must be calibrated (within the past 3 years) and verified (within 1 year) with signed sticker to obtain accurate, reliable and consistent measurements.
6. Conduct orientation to OPT Plus team regarding the guidelines on the conduct of OPT Plus.
7. Masterlisting and spot mapping of 0-59 months old children.

In weighing the young children, the procedures in proper weighing should be noted:

1. Hang the weighing scale from a stable and sturdy tree branch, ceiling beam or a pole. Ensure ropes used for hanging the scale were sturdy.
2. Check if the weighing scale face or dial is at eye level of the measurer, not lower nor higher.
3. Attach empty weighing pants to the hook of the weighing scale, adjust the scale to zero (0), and then remove from the scale.
4. Child must also be in minimum clothing, has empty pockets, and is barefoot. In case the child is wearing a diaper that is full and soiled, measurer can ask the caregiver to change it first prior measurement. Ask mother or someone to hold the child.
5. Put the measurer’s hands through leg holes. Gently pull legs through the leg holes making sure that the strap is in front of the child.
6. Put one hand around the child and attached the strap of the weighing pants to the hook of the scale using the other hand and allow the child to hang freely. Ensure that strap is securely attached to the hook before carefully letting go of the child.
7. Check the child’s position. Make sure the child is not touching anything and the child’s feet were not touching the ground.
8. Hold the face/dial of the weighing scale and read the child’s weight at eye level to the nearest 0.1 kg. The measurer should read aloud the child’s weight, and the assistant should record it in the corresponding OPT Plus form.
9. Put arms around the child and gently lift the child by the body. Remove the strap from the weighing scale. Give the child to mother or caregiver and remove the weighing pants.
10. Measure the child twice and if the replicate measurement had a difference greater than or equal to 0.3 kg, a third weight measurement should be obtained. Use the average of the two closest measurements.

Take note that weighing scales to be used must be tared before the beginning of the weighing activity and every after weighing of 10 children to maintain its accuracy. Before taking the weight measurement of the child, always explain the reason for getting the child’s weight to the parent or caregiver.

Accurate measurement gives better idea on the actual situation of nutrition in the community and the rest of the city/municipality, which is the main basis also for planning and programming of nutrition interventions. Minding the correct steps of measuring a child’s weight is important to generate accurate measurement.

A big salute to all nutrition workers for their dedication in delivering nutrition service and following the new guidelines and protocol in the conduct of OPT Plus, achieving 𝘛𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘶𝘬𝘢𝘵, 𝘌𝘬𝘴𝘢𝘬𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘒𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘥 (𝘛𝘚𝘌𝘒)! (Nutrition Officer II Keishe Jan T. Aban/ nnc_x@yahoo.com / 0963-109-0198)

Malinis na Tubig, Sarili, at Paligid, Pangunahing Sandata Laban sa Sakit!

Ayon sa United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) noong 2023, halos 829,000 tao ang namamatay kada taon dahil sa mga sakit na dulot ng hindi ligtas na tubig, kakulangan sa kalinisan ng kapaligiran, at hindi maayos na personal na kalinisan.

Ang pag-iwas sa mga ganitong sakit ay nagsisimula sa pagpapanatili ng malinis na katawan. Gayunpaman, hindi lamang ito natatapos sa personal na kalinisan. Kagaya ng itinuturo ng Proyektong WASH o Safe Water, Hygiene, and Sanitation Project, mahalaga rin ang malinis na tubig at kapaligiran upang masiguro ang kaligtasan laban sa mga sakit na dulot ng kakulangan sa sanitasyon.

Noong nakaraang buwan, inilunsad sa Barangay 8 - Bangkusay ang proyektong WASH na pinamagatang “WASH Today, Safe All the Way!” para sa mga batang nag-aaral sa Daycare Center. Pinangunahan ito ng mga Practicum Students ng BS Nutrition mula sa UPLB, katuwang ang Barangay Nutrition Scholar (BNS) na si Ms. Grace Den Bathan at Daycare Teacher, Ma’am Fatima Valdellon. Layunin ng proyektong ito na ituro ang tamang kalinisan sa katawan at kapaligiran.

Bukod dito, isinagawa rin sa barangay ang programang “Kamalayan sa Patubig,” na naglalayong masiguro ang kalinisan ng tubig-inumin ng mga residente, lalo ko na ang free-flowing na pinagkukunang-tubig mula sa apat na lokasyon sa barangay.

Tingnan ang poster sa ibaba para sa iba’t ibang aktibidad na bahagi ng Proyektong WASH. Abangan din ang iba pang inisyatibang pangkalinisan at pangkalusugan para sa isang mas ligtas, malinis, at healthy na Barangay Bangkusay!

Alam niyo ba na tuwing buwan ng Enero at Hulyo ay ginugunita ang National Deworming Month?

Kasabay nito ang paghikayat sa lahat na sumailalim sa deworming o pagpurga nang mawala ang mga parasito tulad ng bulate sa katawan ng tao.

Ang bulate o soil-transmitted helminths ay maaaring makuha mula sa lupa. Ang ilan sa mga sintomas ng pagkakaroon ng bulate sa tiyan ay ang kawalan ng gana kumain, pananakit ng tiyan, pagsusuka, pamumutla, at pagbaba ng timbang.

Ang deworming o pagpupurga ay isang paraan upang mapuksa ang mga bulate sa loob ng bituka ng isang tao sa pamamagitan ng pag-inom ng gamot. Ang gamot na pamurga ay ligtas, mabisa, at libre.

Makilahok sa deworming activities ng ating lokal na pamahalaan upang maiwasan ang mga sakit na dulot ng bulate sa tiyan.

NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES AY MAIIWASAN, KUNG LAHAT TAYO'Y SUSUNOD SA MGA PARAAN NA NASA IBABA👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Ang pagkakaroon ng Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) ay maituturing na lubhang mapanganib sa paraang kaya nitong kumitil ng buhay lalo na ng mga matatanda o adulto na Pilipino.

Marahil palaisipan sa nakararami kung ang mga NCD ba ay nakakahawa at kung ang mga taong mayroon nito ay may kakayahang ipasa ito sa iba. Ang tamang sagot ay HINDI.

Ito ay nakukuha sa pamamagitan ng pagkakaroon ng hindi malusog na istilo ng pamumuhay na sumasaklaw sa paraan ng pagkain, uri ng pisikal na aktibidad, bisyong nakalakhan, at stress na nararanasan.

Suriin ang imahe na nasa ibaba upang makakuha ng impormasyon ukol sa NCD. Ilan dito ay ang kahulugan nito; bilang ng mga Pilipinong nakakaranas nito; mga pangunahing uri; at ang pinakaimportante ay ang mga paraan na maaaring isagawa ng mga tao nang sa gayon ay maiwasan ang pagkakaroon nito.
Tandaan, ang pagkakaroon ng healthy lifestyle ang pangunahing layunin at dapat makamtan ng lahat ng tao upang mabawasan ang panganib ng pagkakaroon ng NCD.

Alam mo ba na ang family planning ay may mahalagang papel sa kalusugan ng ina, sanggol, at buong pamilya? 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦✨ Nakakatulong ito sa tamang agwat ng panganganak, pag-iwas sa hindi planadong pagbubuntis, at pagbabawas ng panganib ng malnutrisyon.

Sa pamamagitan ng family planning, naiiwasan ang:
✅ Delikadong pagbubuntis 🤰🚫
✅ Teenage pregnancies 👩‍🎓
✅ Sexually transmitted diseases 🛑🦠
✅ Malnutrisyon sa ina at anak 🍎🥦

Maraming pagpipilian pagdating sa family planning! Mayroong hormonal na kontraseptibo, intrauterine device (IUD), condoms, emergency contraception, at natural na pamamaraan tulad ng Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM). Piliin ang pinakamainam na paraan para sa iyong pamilya at hinaharap! 💖

Ang tamang pagpaplano ay daan tungo sa mas malusog at mas maunlad na kinabukasan. 🌱💡
