  • Diets, Fruit and Vegetable Intake and Nutritional Status in Tanzania

    Open AccessDorcas A Amunga, Sonja Y Hess et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2024

    Globally, the intake of fruit and vegetables (F&V) is far below the recommended levels, contributing to various health challenges including micronutrient deficiencies and non-communicable diseases. In Tanzania, where the triple burden of malnutrition persists, there is a need to identify gaps in evidence, better understand diets and F&V intake and identify promising interventions for improved intake. We conducted a scoping review to summarize the…

  • Home gardening improves dietary diversity, a cluster‐randomized controlled trial among Tanzanian women

    Open AccessMia M Blakstad, Dominic Mosha et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2020

    Homestead food production (HFP) programmes improve the availability of vegetables by providing training in growing nutrient-dense crops. In rural Tanzania, most foods consumed are carbohydrate-rich staples with low micronutrient concentrations. This cluster-randomized controlled trial investigated whether women growing home gardens have higher dietary diversity, household food security or probability of consuming nutrient-rich food groups than wo…

  • Determinants of infant nutrition status in rural farming households before and after harvest

    Open AccessHappiness Muhimbula, Joyce Kinabo et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2019

    Infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices determine infant growth, development and health. Despite global recommendations for exclusive breastfeeding until 6 months, adherence rates are low worldwide for different reasons, largely dependent on environment. In low-income countries, inappropriate IYCF leads to poor nutrition status. This study examined IYCF practices and nutrition outcomes in rural farming households in Tanzania before and af…

  • Neighbour home gardening predicts dietary diversity among rural Tanzanian women

    Open AccessWilliam A Masters, Katherine L Rosettie et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2018Citada por: 1Referencias: 22

    Improving maternal and child nutrition in resource-poor settings requires effective use of limited resources, but priority-setting is constrained by limited information about program costs and impacts, especially for interventions designed to improve diet quality. This study utilized a mixed methods approach to identify, describe and estimate the potential costs and impacts on child dietary intake of 12 nutrition-sensitive programs in Ethiopia, N…
