  • Campylobacter colonization and undernutrition in infants in rural eastern Ethiopia — a longitudinal community-based birth cohort study

    Open AccessDehao Chen, Sarah Mckune et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Background Campylobacter is associated with environmental enteric dysfunction (EED) and malnutrition in children. Campylobacter infection could be a linchpin between livestock fecal exposure and health outcomes in low-resource smallholder settings. Methods We followed a birth cohort of 106 infants in rural smallholder households in eastern Ethiopia up to 13 months of age. We measured anthropometry, surveyed sociodemographic determinants, and coll…

  • The Effect of Breastfeeding Practices of Undernourished Mothers in Rural Sierra Leone on Infant Growth and Mortality

    Open AccessAminata Shamit Koroma, Kevin B Stephenson et al.ARTICLEChildren2024

    Breastfeeding provides optimal infant nutrition; however, p p p = 0.024) gain. The EBF infants had lower mortality than the infants who were not EBF (hazard ratio of 0.39; 95% CI 0.18 to 0.84; p = 0.017). In summary, the infants who were EBF had greater weight and length gain and reduced mortality than those who were not EBF. Efforts to improve breastfeeding should thus be prioritized to improve infant health

  • Campylobacter Colonization, Environmental Enteric Dysfunction, Stunting, and Associated Risk Factors Among Young Children in Rural Ethiopia

    Open AccessDehao Chen, Sarah Mckune et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021

    Livestock farming provides a possible mechanism by which smallholder farmers can meet their household need for animal source foods (ASF), which may reduce the risk of stunting. However, direct/indirect contacts with domestic animals may increase colonization by Campylobacter spp., which has been associated with Environmental Enteric Dysfunction (EED) and stunting. A cross-sectional study involving 102 randomly selected children between 12 and 16 …

  • Co-occurrence of Campylobacter Species in Children From Eastern Ethiopia, and Their Association With Environmental Enteric Dysfunction, Diarrhea, and Host Microbiome

    Open AccessYitagele Terefe, Loïc Deblais et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2020

    High Campylobacter prevalence during early childhood has been associated with stunting and environmental enteric dysfunction (EED), especially in low-resource settings. This study assessed the prevalence, diversity, abundance, and co-occurrence of Campylobacter spp. in stools from children in a rural area of eastern Ethiopia and their association with microbiome, diarrhea, and EED in children. Stool samples (n=100) were collected from randomly se…

  • Protein quality in ready‐to‐use supplementary foods for moderate wasting

    Open AccessRebecca Roediger, Hans H Stein et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2020

    There are no guidelines for the optimal protein quality of ready-to-supplementary food (RUSF) for moderate acute malnutrition (MAM). This randomized, controlled, double-blinded, clinical effectiveness trial evaluated two RUSFs in the treatment of MAM. Both foods contained greater than 7% dairy protein, but the protein-optimized RUSF had a calculated digestible indispensable amino acid score (DIAAS) of 95%, whereas the control RUSF had a calculate…

  • Relapse and regression to severe wasting in children under 5 years

    Open AccessRobin Schaefer, Amy Mayberry et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2020

    Systematic reviews have highlighted that repeated severe wasting after receiving treatment is likely to be common, but standardised measurement is needed urgently. The Council of Research & Technical Advice for Acute Malnutrition (CORTASAM) released recommendations on standard measurement of relapse (wasting within 6 months after exiting treatment as per recommended discharge criteria), regression (wasting within 6 months after exiting treatment …

  • Effect of Native and Acetylated Dietary Resistant Starches on Intestinal Fermentative Capacity of Normal and Stunted Children in Southern India

    Open AccessBalamurugan Ramadass, Srinivasan Pugazhendhi et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2019

    The health benefits of dietary amylase resistant starch (RS) arise from intestinal microbial fermentation and generation of short chain fatty acids (SCFA). We compared the intestinal fermentative capability of stunted and nonstunted ('healthy') children in southern India using two types of RS: high amylose maize starch (HAMS) and acetylated HAMS (HAMSA). Twenty children (10 stunted and 10 healthy) aged 2 to 5 years were fed biscuits containing HA…

  • Acceptability of locally produced ready‐to‐use therapeutic foods in Ethiopia, Ghana, Pakistan and India

    Open AccessJacklyn Weber, Jacklyn M Weber et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2016

    Successful treatment of severe acute malnutrition has been achieved with ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF), but only 15% of children with severe acute malnutrition receive RUTF. The objective of this study was to determine whether new formulations of RUTF produced using locally available ingredients were acceptable to young children in Ethiopia, Ghana, Pakistan and India. The local RUTFs were formulated using a linear programming tool that all…

  • Effect of complementary feeding with lipid‐based nutrient supplements and corn–soy blend on the incidence of stunting and linear growth among 6‐ to 18‐month‐old infants and children in rural M alawi

    Open AccessCharles Mangani, Kenneth Maleta et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2013

    Low nutritional value of complementary foods is associated with high incidence of childhood growth stunting in low-income countries. This study was done to test a hypothesis that dietary complementation with lipid-based nutrient supplements (LNS) promotes linear growth and reduces the incidence of severe stunting among at-risk infants. A total of 840 6-month-old healthy infants in rural Malawi were enrolled to a randomised assessor-blinded trial.…

    Open AccessJohn Phuka, Melissa Gladstone et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2011

    The major aim of this trial was to compare the development of 18-month-old infants who received complementary feeding for 1 year either with lipid-based nutrient supplements or micronutrient fortified corn-soy porridge. Our secondary aim was to determine the socio-economic factors associated with developmental outcomes in the same population. A total of 163 six-month-old rural Malawian children were enrolled in a randomized controlled trial where…

  • The benefit of supplementary feeding for wasted Malawian adults initiating ART

    Joep J van Oosterhout, Macdonald Ndekha et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2010

    Food insecurity is considered to be an important contributor to HIV associated wasting in sub-Saharan Africa. Low body mass index (BMI) is a strong risk factor for early mortality during antiretroviral therapy (ART). Nutritional supplementation has become standard of care in wasted patients starting ART in many countries in the region, but there is no unequivocal evidence base for this intervention. Against this background, we performed a retrosp…

  • Feeding patterns of underweight children in rural Malawi given supplementary fortified spread at home

    Open AccessValerie L Flax, Ulla Ashorn et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2007

    Fortified spread (FS), containing dry food particles embedded in edible fat, offers a convenient means for nutrition rehabilitation. To describe how caregivers feed FS to their undernourished children at home, and how FS use affects other feeding patterns, we conducted a longitudinal observational study in rural Malawi. Sixteen 6- to 17-month-old underweight children (weight-for-age z-score < -2.0; -3.0 < weight-for-height z-score < 0) received F…

  • The quality of the diet in Malawian children with kwashiorkor and marasmus

    Open AccessJesse Sullivan, Macdonald Ndekha et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2006

    Nutritionists have suggested that kwashiorkor is related to low dietary protein and/or antioxidant intake. This study explored the hypothesis that among Malawian children with severe malnutrition, those with kwashiorkor consume a diet with less micronutrient- and antioxidant-rich foods, such as fish, eggs, tomatoes and orange fruits (mango, pumpkin and papaya), than those with marasmus. A case-control method with a food frequency questionnaire wa…
