lowincome children in federally funded maternal and child health and nutrition programs. ofthe records is from American Indian or alaska Native children
http://www.aaip.com/childhealth/nutrition.html
Pediatric Nutrition Data
The following information was obtained from the Pediatric Nutrition Surveillance System (PedNSS), 1997, DHHS, CDC.
In the 1997 PedNSS study, approximately 8 million records were collected from 44 states, the District of Columbia, and 5 tribal governments to monitor the nutritional status of low-income children in federally funded maternal and child health and nutrition programs. The following information presents 1997 data and highlight trends from 1989 to 1997. Most of the total PedNSS records (92%) are from children younger than 5 years, and 32% are from infants aged less than 1 year old. Approximately 1% of the records is from American Indian or Alaska Native children who will be highlighted in this review.
Indicators of Nutritional Status
Underweight
The low prevalence of underweight among children in the PedNSS indicates that acute malnutrition is not a public health problem in the American Indian and Alaska Native children.
Anemia
Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency in the world. Anemia is an indicator of iron deficiency, which is associated with developmental delays and behavioral disturbances. In the 1997 PEDNSS, 18.4% of children under 2 years and 16.9% of children aged 2 to 5 years had anemia. American Indian or Alaska Native children have a rate of anemia of 18.6%. Anemia was highest (25% or higher) in Alabama, Arizona, the Chickasaw Nation in Oklahoma, DC, Maryland, and Mississippi.
Overweight
The increasing trends of overweight children in the general US population is consistent with the findings from the PedNss. Overweight American Indian/Alaska Native children aged 2 to 5 years has risen from 10 - 12% from 1989 to 1997. This is second only to Hispanic children who prevalence has been the highest for 8 out of the 9 years studied.

(Selected Programs) Purchaser: Federal Government Program: Health Resources and Services Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Indian Health Services grants Description: The Public Health Service division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services administers health care spending programs through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Indian Health Services (IHS) grants. HRSA programs provide health services to groups with special needs, such as mothers and infants, disadvantaged minorities, HIV-infected individuals, vulnerable and special need populations. CDC programs are designed for disease and injury prevention; the IHS programs provide federal health services to American Indians and Alaska Natives. The federal government spent an estimated $313 million in Texas for the HRSA, CDS and IHS programs in fiscal 1998. About $170 million of this total went through state agencies. The remainder, $143 million, went directly to local entities for health care related expenditures. Texas Total, Fiscal 1998
