Propose control measures for the deficiency diseases E, F, and H, and explain why the symptom for G is different.

Here are the control measures for the diseases E, F, and H:

3. Propose control measures to the diseases E to H

• E. Pellagra

  • Promote consumption of niacin-rich foods such as meat, poultry, fish, peanuts, and fortified cereals.
  • Educate on proper food preparation methods to retain niacin content.
  • Implement food fortification programs with niacin (Vitamin B3).

• F. Beriberi

  • Encourage intake of thiamine-rich foods like whole grains (brown rice), legumes, pork, and nuts.
  • Advocate for the use of parboiled or fortified rice instead of polished white rice.
  • Provide thiamine supplements to at-risk populations.

• G. The symptom described for G ("Thick, yellow (pus-like) penile discharge") is indicative of an infectious disease, not a deficiency disease. Therefore, control measures for deficiency diseases are not applicable here.

• H. Rickets

  • Promote adequate exposure to sunlight to facilitate vitamin D synthesis in the skin.
  • Encourage consumption of vitamin D-rich foods such as fatty fish, fortified milk, and cereals.
  • Provide vitamin D supplements, especially for infants and children in areas with limited sun exposure.
