Household cooking and eating practices across food system typologies in 135 countries from 2018 to 2022
Cooking meals at home is often recommended as a strategy to consume a healthy diet and avoid ultra-processed foods and unhealthy dietary patterns. However, cooking has traditionally been a highly gendered activity, and as food environments, economies, and social norms evolve globally, understanding of cooking behaviors in different contexts is needed. We analyzed repeated cross-sectional data from 135 countries from the 2018–22 Gallup World Poll …
A quest for questions
A just food system transformation is imperative to meet this century’s goals of environmental sustainability, economic fairness, and equitable social well-being. While considerations of justice are beginning to inform food system transformation debates, there remains a lack of conceptual and practical integration of these two historically separate disciplinary perspectives. This perspective therefore proposes the just transformation matrix (JUSTR…
Exploring women’s dietary diversity amidst climate variability
It is anticipated that climate change and climate variability will threaten food and nutrition security through multiple pathways, yet evidence on its impact on minimum dietary diversity for women (MDD-W), especially in low- and middle- income countries (LMICs) is limited. Using Bayesian hierarchical statistical modeling, we analyzed the impacts of climate variability on MDD-W, of 142 484 non-pregnant women, aged 15–49 years, in eight LMICs (Burk…
Pivoting school health and nutrition programmes during Covid-19 in low- and middle-income countries
Background: Preventive and promotive interventions delivered by schools can support a healthy lifestyle, positive development, and well-being in children and adolescents. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic presented unique challenges to school health and nutrition programmes due to closures and mobility restrictions. Methods: We conducted a scoping review to examine how school health and nutrition programmes pivoted during the COVID…

Availability of national policies, programmes, and survey‐based coverage data to track nutrition interventions in South Asia
Progress to improve nutrition among women, infants and children in South Asia has fallen behind the pace needed to meet established global targets. Renewed political commitment and monitoring of nutrition interventions are required to improve coverage and quality of care. Our study aimed to assess the availability of national nutrition policies, programmes, and coverage data of nutrition interventions for women, children, and adolescents in eight…
Challenges and opportunities for increasing the effectiveness of food reformulation and fortification to improve dietary and nutrition outcomes
Reformulation, a change to a food or beverage's processing or composition, can reduce potentially harmful ingredients such as salt, added sugar, and saturated and trans fats or increase potentially beneficial ingredients or nutrients such as fiber, protein, and micronutrients. Poor nutrition and health outcomes of populations have stimulated programs and policies to reduce the intake of salt, added sugar, and unhealthy fats and increase healthy n…
Indirect effects of Covid-19 on child and adolescent mental health
Prioritizing gender equity and intersectionality in Canadian global health institutions and partnerships
Despite governmental efforts to close the gender gap and global calls including Sustainable Development Goal 5 to promote gender equality, the sobering reality is that gender inequities continue to persist in Canadian global health institutions. Moreover, from health to the economy, security to social protection, COVID-19 has exposed and heightened pre-existing inequities, with women, especially marginalized women, being disproportionately impact…
Characterizing Retail Food Environments in Peri-Urban Pakistan during the Covid-19 Pandemic
(1) Background: To date, there are limited data in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) that collect, monitor, and evaluate food environments in standardized ways. The development of a pilot survey tool, tailored to LMICs and focused on retail food environments, is necessary for improving public health nutrition. (2) Methods: A novel survey tool was developed and piloted in a sample of village retail food environments (n = 224) in Matiari, Pa…

Suicidal behaviours among adolescents from 90 countries
Building positive social relationships with peers and avoiding serious injury appear key to suicide prevention strategies for vulnerable adolescents. Targeted programs by age group and sex for such indicators could improve mental health during adolescence in low and middle-income countries, given the diverse risk profiles for suicidal ideation and attempts
