INTRODUCTION:
In spite of the fact that there are imbalance in child health
and survival in our country, the influence under nutrition among the poor
children imposes greater burden in rural areas. Particularly rural children
are more vulnerable to malnutrition because they received foods having a
low nutritional values along with discriminatory distribution of food
within the household. Also in early childhood due to lack of appropriate
care they suffer from recurrent infections

and multiple diseases either causing delayed development or fatal effect.

Malnutrition has become an urgent global health issue, with under
nutrition killing or disabling millions of children each year. Malnutrition
also prevents millions more from reaching their full intellectual and
productive potential. The demographic and socioeconomic factors
influence the nutritional status and neuro development of the vulnerable
child.

METHODS
The aim of this study is to asses the nutritional status of
developmentally challenged children of less than five years old. Individual
data records were constructed for children. Each record represents a child
and consists of nutritional status information and lists of covariates from
the Barangay Health Center Records. This study approach is able to
flexibility determine to what extent to substantial spatial pattern of
malnutrition is driven by detectable factors such as socioeconomic factors
and can be attainable to

unmeasured factors such as conflicts, political- environmental and cultural

factors.

RESULTS
Childhood malnutrition was more noticed in all provinces of the
Philippines. After accounting for the locations effects, geographic
differences where significant. Malnutrition was significantly in higher in
rural areas compared to urban areas, and this contrast continued after
numerous adjustments. The findings suggest that models of nutritional
intervention must be carefully specified with regards to a residential
location.
 CONCLUSION
Children malnutrition are monitoring of the achievements of
human development outcomes or goals has improved considerably. Much
less progress has been achieved in efforts to monitor the quality of the
process, largely because it has never been defined. There is an

urgent need to develop appropriate indicators for criteria such as

participation, women’s empowerment and sustainability.
Children malnutrition is contiguously arranged and rates continues
very high in the rural areas that rely on the agricultural industry and
comparable to the level seen in urban areas conflicts. Childhood
malnutrition is higher probably because of the economic decision to sell
more the population consumes, especially today in this pandemic (COVID
-19 VIRUS) and now a days all Filipino family are suffering for the reason
that all prices in market are rising and our economy is failing.
