Food Insecurity in Undergraduates During and After Remote Learning
In total, 4799 undergraduates of Brazilian public universities responded in the first study, and 2897 responded in the second. Food insecurity was present in 36.5% of the students in 2020/2021 and 35.9% of the students in 2023. In the correspondence analysis, low income, poor health, stress and poor diet were associated with food insecurity in 2020/2021. Low income, reduced income, poor health, stress and diet quality were associated with food in…
Evolution of infant feeding practices in children from 9 to 24 months, considering complementary feeding indicators and food processing
Infant feeding practices impact children's nutritional and health status, influencing growth and development. This study aimed to analyse the evolution of infant feeding practices from 9 to 24 months of age, considering infant and young child feeding (IYCF) indicators and food processing. The infant feeding practices in children from the Brazilian site of the MAL-ED study were evaluated at 9 (n = 193), 15 (n = 182) and 24 months (n = 164) using 2…
Characteristics associated with the transition to partial breastfeeding prior to 6 months of age
The WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life. However, the transition of the infants' diet to partial breastfeeding with the addition of animal milks and/or solids typically occurs earlier than this. Here, we explored factors associated with the timing of an early transition to partial breastfeeding across seven sites of a birth cohort study in which twice weekly information on infant feeding practices was collected. …
Micronutrient intake and the probability of nutrient adequacy among children 9–24 months of age
Objective: To estimate the total energy and micronutrient intakes of children 9–24 months of age and evaluate the probability of adequacy (PA) of the diet in seven MAL-ED sites. Design: Cohort study. Food intake was registered monthly using 24-h recalls beginning at 9 months. We estimated PA for thirteen nutrients and overall mean PA (MPA) by site and 3-month periods considering estimated breast milk intake. Setting: Seven sites in Asia, Africa a…
Infant feeding practices and determinant variables for early complementary feeding in the first 8 months of life
Objective The present study aimed to describe breast-feeding, complementary feeding and determining factors for early complementary feeding from birth to 8 months of age in a typical Brazilian low-income urban community. Design A birth cohort was conducted ( n 233), with data collection twice weekly, allowing close observation of breast-feeding, complementary feeding introduction and description of the WHO core indicators on infant and young chil…
How multiple episodes of exclusive breastfeeding impact estimates of exclusive breastfeeding duration
The duration of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is often defined as the time from birth to the first non‐breast milk food/liquid fed (EBFLONG), or it is estimated by calculating the proportion of women at a given infant age who EBF in the previous 24 h (EBFDHS). Others have measured the total days or personal prevalence of EBF (EBFPREV), recognizing that although non‐EBF days may occur, EBF can be re‐initiated for extended periods. We compared brea…
Forum
The article discusses the urbanization of visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil, which was previously prevalent in rural areas of the Northeast but now also affects peri-urban areas in other regions such as the Southeast and Central-West. The lack of effective control of the vector and reservoir complicates disease management. Intervention measures, such as culling infected dogs and insecticide spraying, are implemented late, after human cases are ide…
