Evaluating the Effect of Random Multi‐Donor Pooling on the Nutritional Variability in Donor Human Milk Using Computer Modeling
Protein and fat concentrations in donor human milk (DHM) can vary twofold to threefold and are influenced by the number of unique donors per pool. The aim of this study was to broadly characterize how the number of donors (2-10) randomly combined into a pool during milk bank processing influenced the variability of macronutrients, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive factors in DHM. The minimum number of donors required for 80% of the pools to meet …
Trajectories of Dietary Energy, Macro and Micronutrient Intake From the Third Trimester of Pregnancy to 8.5 Months Postpartum Among Brazilian Women
Pregnancy and lactation increase maternal nutritional requirements. This study evaluated the trajectories of maternal dietary energy, macro- and micronutrient intake from the third trimester of pregnancy to 8.5 months postpartum, associated factors, and micronutrient intake adequacy. Longitudinal study with mother-infant pairs recruited in a hospital in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, during the third trimester of pregnancy. At least one 24-h recall was …
Thiamine Concentration in Human Milk Is Correlated With Maternal and Infant Thiamine Status
The human milk content of some micronutrients including thiamine depends on maternal status, and if low, breastfed infants are at risk of deficiency. Thiamine deficiency remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality among infants in Asia. We aimed to explore correlations between maternal thiamine diphosphate (ThDP) or erythrocyte transketolase activation coefficient (ETKac) and human milk thiamine concentration (MTh) and between MTh and i…
Exploring Family Adjustment Among Parents of a Child With a Disability Attending Relationship Education
Objective: The current exploratory study examined dyadic changes in family adjustment (i.e., parental stress, positive coping, family-based support, social support) reported by parents of a child with a disability after 12-hours of relationship education (RE). Background: Parents of a child with a disability encounter social barriers that contribute to parental stress and inhibit family well-being. RE reduced psychological and relationship distre…
Maternal postpartum deworming and infant milk intake
The World Health Organization recommends deworming to reduce soil-transmitted helminth (STH)-attributable morbidity in women of reproductive age, including pregnant and lactating women, to reduce blood loss, iron deficiency anaemia and nutrient malabsorption. This study assessed the impact of maternal postpartum deworming with albendazole approximately 1 day after delivery on infant milk intake among a subset of 216 randomly selected mother-infan…
Co‐causation of reduced newborn size by maternal undernutrition, infections, and inflammation
More than 20 million babies are born with low birthweight annually. Small newborns have an increased risk for mortality, growth failure, and other adverse outcomes. Numerous antenatal risk factors for small newborn size have been identified, but individual interventions addressing them have not markedly improved the health outcomes of interest. We tested a hypothesis that in low-income settings, newborn size is influenced jointly by multiple mate…
Associations of maternal nutrition during pregnancy and post‐partum with maternal cognition and caregiving
Pregnant and post-partum women require increased nutrient intake and optimal cognition, which depends on adequate nutrition, to enable reasoning and learning for caregiving. We aimed to assess (a) differences in maternal cognition and caregiving between women in Malawi who received different nutritional supplements, (b) 14 effect modifiers, and (c) associations of cognition and caregiving with biomarkers of iron, Vitamin A, B-vitamin, and fatty a…
The effects of a lipid‐based nutrient supplement and antiretroviral therapy in a randomized controlled trial on iron, copper, and zinc in milk from HIV ‐infected M alawian mothers and associations wit…
We evaluated effects of antiretroviral (ARV) therapy and lipid-based nutrient supplements (LNSs) on iron, copper, and zinc in milk of exclusively breastfeeding HIV-infected Malawian mothers and their correlations with maternal and infant biomarkers. Human milk and blood at 2, 6, and 24 weeks post-partum and blood during pregnancy (≤30 weeks gestation) were collected from 535 mothers/infant-pairs in the Breastfeeding, Antiretrovirals, and Nutritio…

Predicted efficacy of the Palestinian wheat flour fortification programme
Objective To utilize complementary biochemical and dietary data collected before the initiation of national flour fortification to (i) identify micronutrient insufficiencies or deficiencies and dietary inadequacies in Palestinian women and children in vulnerable communities and (ii) assess the suitability of the current wheat flour fortification formula. Design Quantitative dietary intake questionnaires were administered and fasting venous blood …
Considerations in developing lipid‐based nutrient supplements for prevention of undernutrition
The International Lipid-Based Nutrient Supplements (iLiNS) Project began in 2009 with the goal of contributing to the evidence base regarding the potential of lipid-based nutrient supplements (LNS) to prevent undernutrition in vulnerable populations. The first project objective was the development of acceptable LNS products for infants 6-24 months and for pregnant and lactating women, for use in studies in three countries (Burkina Faso, Ghana and…

Effect of supplemental zinc on the growth and serum zinc concentrations of prepubertal children
Maternal consumption of pulque , a traditional central Mexican alcoholic beverage
Objectives: To document the consumption during pregnancy of pulque , a traditional central Mexican alcoholic beverage, and its relationship to subsequent infant size, physical growth and performance on the Bayley Scales of Infant Development. Design: Prospective cohort study. Setting: Six villages in rural, central Mexico in 1984–1985. Subjects: Seventy mother–infant pairs. Results: Most women (72.9%) consumed pulque during pregnancy, and 28.6% c…
Addressing Discrepancies between Values and Behavior
Anemia and iron deficiency
Lack of hemoglobin response to iron supplementation in anemic Mexican preschoolers with multiple micronutrient deficiencies
Lack of hemoglobin response to iron was associated with indicators of chronic undernutrition and multiple micronutrient deficiencies.
Examining the gender gap in nutrition
Gender differences in nutrient and food intake were examined in Mexican Nutrition CRSP (Collaborative Research Support Program) infants (N = 75), preschoolers (N = 80), and school children (N = 91). No significant gender differences in dietary quality or quantity were seen for infants and preschoolers. For school children, the contribution of various foods to total energy intake (dietary quality) was also quite similar for girls and boys. Equity …

Prevalence and age at development of enamel hypoplasias in Mexican children
Enamel hypoplasias, deficiencies in enamel thickness resulting from disturbances during the secretory phase of enamel development, are generally believed to result from nonspecific metabolic and nutritional disruptions. However, data are scarce on the prevalence and chronological distribution of hypoplasias in populations experiencing mild to moderate malnutrition. The purpose of this article is to present baseline data on the prevalences and chr…

Research on determinants of breastfeeding duration
The main purpose of this paper is to suggest directions for future intra-cultural research on the factors that affect breastfeeding duration, especially policy-oriented research. A 2nd purpose is to call for a reexamination of the theoretical construct, biocultural determinants, with respect to infant feeding. The study compares determinants in 4 multivariate studies. One was carried out in Connecticut, 1 in a working class community in Scotland,…
