Specifications
Kit for nutritional survey and continuous nutritional assessment (daily weight, etc.) of children in therapeutic or outpatient feeding centres, or during dry rations distribution.

- To carry out a survey, the questionnaire and data collection forms must be adapted to the context, discuss this with your nutrition advisor.
- The equipment (measuring apparatus and scales) for anthropometric measurements in adults or adolescents (in a survey or in a nutrition centre) should be ordered separately (see related articles).
- NB: The MUAC bracelets (EANTBRAB115B) may be used for the identification of malnourished adults.
