In a rural area of Bangladesh, traditional birth attendant training improved early infant feeding practices
In rural Bangladesh, most births take place at home. There is little evidence regarding the influence of traditional birth attendants (TBAs) or community volunteers (CVs) on early infant feeding practices. We conducted a pragmatic cluster randomized controlled trial in Panchagarh District to examine the effects of training and post-training supervision of TBAs/CVs on early breastfeeding practices. Nine unions were randomized into three groups of …
Diet Diversity in Pastoral and Agro-pastoral Households in Ugandan Rangeland Ecosystems
We explore how diet diversity differs with agricultural seasons and between households within pastoral and agro-pastoral livelihood systems, using variety of foods consumed as a less complex proxy indicator of food insecurity than benchmark indicators like anthropometry and serum nutrients. The study was in the central part of the rangelands in Uganda. Seventy nine households were monitored for three seasons, and eight food groups consumed during…
Feeding infants right – status and future directions
This paper reviews major issues and concerns involved in achieve optimal infant feeding patterns, particularly complementary feeding
Tanzania national survey on iodine deficiency
Our study demonstrates a marked improvement in iodine nutrition in Tanzania, twelve years after the initiation of salt iodation programme. The challenge in sustaining IDD elimination in Tanzania is now two-fold: to better reach the areas with low coverage of iodated salt, and to reduce iodine intake in areas where it is excessive. Particular attention is needed in improving quality control at production level and perhaps the national salt iodatio…
Improved salt iodation methods for small-scale salt producers in low-resource settings in Tanzania
Supervised, standardized salt iodation procedures adapted to local circumstances can yield homogeneous iodine levels within the required range, overcoming a major obstacle to universal salt iodation
Relationship of parental characteristics and feeding practices to overweight in infants and young children in Beijing, China
Background Childhood obesity has become a major public health problem in many countries. To explore the risk factors of overweight in infants and young children might be helpful in developing an early overweight intervention strategy. Objective To assess the prevalence of overweight and the relationship of parental characteristics and feeding practices to overweight in infants and young children in Beijing, China. Design Data on weight and length…
Remaining challenges in Tanzania's efforts to eliminate iodine deficiency
Objective To determine iodine levels in salt and iodine deficiency prevalence in school-aged children in 16 districts in Tanzania with previous severe iodine deficiency. Design A cross-sectional study in schoolchildren. Systematic probability sampling was used to select schools and subjects for goitre assessment and urinary iodine determination. Setting Sixteen districts randomly selected from the 27 categorised as severely iodine-deficient in Ta…

Health Education to Prevent Anemia Among Women of Reproductive Age in Southern India
In this study, we used a narrow, but easily measured, indicator of how communication proceeded among health workers and women in Southern India. Anemia prevention during pregnancy was studied using a semistructured questionnaire. Participants included 5 nurses, 10 health aides, and 10 (traditional birth attendants) TBAs working with maternal health care and education, as well as 32 women seeking maternal health care. Those women who received heal…
Perception of Food and Body Shape as Dimensions of Western Acculturation Potentially Linked to Overweight in Tarahumara Women of Mexico
A recent survey in northern Mexico found that 52.8% of adult Tarahumara women were overweight. A process of “de-Indianization” of their diet was hypothesized. The present study aimed at exploring food and body shape perceptions as dimensions contributing to the role that Western accultu-ration could be playing in increasing overweight in this isolated indigenous population. Data were obtained from structured interviews of a type commonly used in …
Exclusive breast-feeding is rarely practised in rural and urban Morogoro, Tanzania
Objective: To investigate and compare feeding practices among infants of less than 7 months of age in a rural and an urban area in Tanzania. Design: Cross-sectional, questionnaire-based interview of mothers and focus group discussions with extension workers and community leaders. Setting: Eleven villages in a rural district and 10 wards in an urban district in the Morogoro region, Tanzania, west of Dar es Salaam. Subjects: Probability samples of …
Relationships between vitamin A, iron status and helminthiasis in Bangladeshi school children
Objective To explore the relationships between biochemical indicators of vitamin A and iron status and the intestinal helminths Ascaris lumbricoides and hookworm in primary school children. Setting Two rural governmental schools in northwestern Bangladesh. Design Cross-sectional study. Subjects The sample consisted of 164 children in grades 3–5. Methods Serum retinol and β-carotene (by high-performance liquid chromatography, HPLC), haemoglobin (H…
Five-year follow-up of a food-based vitamin A intervention in Tanzania
Objective To evaluate the long-term effects of a horticultural and nutrition education intervention in rural Tanzania. Design A quasi-experimental post-test design was used. Setting The research was carried out in 10 villages in Singida region, Tanzania. Subjects Mothers and their children aged 6–71 months ( n = 236) from an experimental (Ilongero) and control (Ihanja) area were interviewed regarding knowledge and practices related to vitamin A n…
Anthropometry in Tarahumara Indian women of reproductive age in northern Mexico
Recent studies point to an increasing prevalence of obesity and its consequences among American Indians. This study was conducted to assess whether overweight may constitute a problem among adolescent and adult women in one of the most isolated ethnic groups in North America. A population‐based sample of 459 Tarahumara women was taken from Guachochi Municipality in northern Mexico. A BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 was found in 16.9% of women aged 25–49 years old…
The Helen Keller international food frequency method may underestimate vitamin A intake where milk is a normal part of the young child diet
A recent innovation in assessing community vitamin A status is the Helen Keller International Food Frequency Method (HKI FFM), based on weekly intakes of key foods. Since it excludes animal milk, we investigated whether the amount of animal milk 345 pre‐school children received in a rural area of India contributed significantly to their total vitamin A intake. Degree of dilution and quantity of milk usually given were estimated and 9 milk samples…
Coverage and Cost of Iodized Oil Capsule Distribution in Tanzania
Distribution of oral iodized oil capsules (IOC) is an important intervention in areas with iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) and low coverage of iodized salt. The mean reported coverage of 57 IOC distribution campaigns from 1986-1994 of people aged 1-45 years in 27 districts of Tanzania was 64% (range 20-96%). This declined over subsequent distribution rounds. However, due to delayed repeat distribution, only 43% of person-time was covered, based…
Possibilidades e limitações da amamentação entre mulheres trabalhadoras formais
INTRODUÇÃO: Pesquisas sobre a amamentação e a questão do trabalho da mulher são de difícil comparabilidade. A prática de amamentar entre mulheres com um emprego formal no Brasil tem sido pouco estudada, em que pesem as mudanças havidas como a extensão da licença maternidade para 120 dias. Decidiu-se realizar estudo com o objetivo de descrever o padrão de amamentação de mulheres empregadas em empresas, as limitações que elas enfrentam e que fatore…
Factors associated with nutritional status among young children in St. Vincent
A survey was undertaken in 1975 in St. Vincent, West Indies, among the mothers of nearly all children from one to two years old in two towns. The mean weight for age was 85 percent of the Boston Standard and the mean weight for height was 92.5 percent of the standard. Levels of malnutrition were similar to those found in a national survey eight years earlier. Using multiple regression analysis, the variable which had by far the greatest impact on…
