Structured questionnaires were used to obtain information on household food consumption and anthropometric measurements were carried out.There was 30% loss of domestic animals and 50% reduction in the average rice production with 20% of the households harvesting no rice at all. This affected the already strained food security situation. No significant difference was however seen between food consumption frequency pre-post typhoon Ketsana. Among the 18 subjects compared, prevalence of stunting and underweight was high (66.7% and 55.6% pre typhoon and 61.1% and 55.6% post typhoon respectively) and a McNemar test showed that the prevalence of wasting significantly decreased post typhoon Ketsana (p<0.01) whereas the prevalence of stunting and underweight didn't significantly change pre-post typhoon Ketsana (p>0.05).The nutritional status of the children was stable post the typhoon Ketsana. This could be attributed to the numerous coping strategies applied in order to have enough food to eat and the fact that the effect of the typhoon could not be seen within such a short period of time.英語フィールド
