ASEAN Institute for Health Development,; Mahidol University. Institute of Nutrition; Prince of Songkla University. Faculty of Medicine. Department of Pediatrics,This descriptive study was conducted to determine the prevalence of child stunting at 24 months by using the Thai and New WHO growth standard and to examine the association between time of introduction of complementary food and child stunting at 24 months. The data of 4,245 children aged 24 months were selected from a cohort study of Thai children. After excluding 60 twin infants and 18 with abnormalities, 4,167 children remained for data analysis. Chi-square tests and multiple logistic regression were undertaken to identify variables that influenced child stunting at 24 months. For the 2001 Thai reference, the study showed 13.95% stunting prevalence whereas 2006 WHO reference showed 16.48%. After adjusting for confounding factors, the study showed that prolonged breast feeding was significantly associated with child stunting from both the WHO (OR=2.70, 95% CI=1.77-4.10) and Thai references (OR=2.31, 95% CI=1.48-3.60). By using WHO reference, this study found that children who were introduced pork before four months (OR=4.72, 95% CI=1.11-20.19) had the highest risk to be stunting at 24 months. And, by using Thai reference, it was found that children who were introduced whole eggs before four months (OR=2.76, 95% CI=0.56-3.54) had the highest risk to be stunting at 24 months. In conclusion, this study found that early introduction of complementary foods is a risk of child stunting. Implementing various health education programs to mothers and caretakers focusing on the improvement of feeding practices and by timely introduction of complementary food, optimum growth in children can be achieved.Publication Open Access Determinants of the unmet need for family planning among married fecund women in Natmauk Township, Magway Region of Myanmar(2018) Aung Hpone Myint; Sariyamon Tiraphat; Jiraporn Chompikul; อัง โฟน มินท์; ศริยามน ติรพัฒน์; จิราพร ชมพิกุล; Mahidol University.

Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital. Department of Community Medicine; Mahidol University. ASEAN Institute for Health DevelopmentLow back pain is the most common health problem among oil field workers and the leading cause of disability. A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess prevalence and risk factors for low back pain among oil field workers in Minhla Township, Magway Region, Myanmar. A multi-stage cluster random sampling was used to draw a sample of 280 workers. The data collection was conducted at the Nga Naung Mone small-scale oil field from April to May 2019. Chi-square test and multiple logistic regression were used to examine risk factors for low back pain. The prevalence of low back pain among workers was high (83.6%). Only 20.4% of participants had good safety practices. The significant risk factors detected by the Chi-square tests were knowledge about occupational health hazards and exposure to lifting heavy materials. However, the socio-demographic factors and other risk factors were not statistically significantly associated with low back pain. Multiple logistic regression results showed that the following factors remained significantly associated with having low back pain: knowledge about occupational health hazards and exposure to lifting heavy materials. After adjusting for other factors, workers who had fair to poor knowledge about occupational health hazards were 2.32 times more likely to have low back pain than those who had good knowledge (Adj. OR = 2.32, 95% CI = 1.01 - 4.99). Prevalence of low back pain was high among small-scale oil field workers, as well as exposure to biomechanical hazards, especially lifting heavy objects. Most of the workers had inadequate knowledge, attitude and practice. Educational programs about occupational health and safety should be provided for workers. Moreover, the owners should supply lifting tools. The Government could play an important role by putting more regulations and controls.Publication Open Access Relationship between child rearing and child nutritional status during the first year of life in Thailand(2016) Mai Beniko; Aroonsri Mongkolchati; Jiraporn Chompikul; Rutja Phuphaibul; Mahidol University.
