Early childhood development under son preference in Vietnam
Vietnam has experienced more than two decades of elevated prenatal sex selection due to persistent son preference, yet little is known about whether gender disparities emerge among surviving children in early childhood. This study examines gender differences in early childhood development (ECD) among Vietnamese children aged 24–59 months and investigates whether birth order and family context – key markers of son preference – moderate these diffe…
Prevalence and determinants of premature or early menopause
BACKGROUND: Premature (<40 years) or early (40-44 years) menopause is associated with increased risks of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and premature mortality. Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) appear to have a higher prevalence, although multicountry comparative data are scarce. Therefore, this study aimed to estimate the pooled prevalence and determinants of premature or early menopause among women aged 30-49 years in 44 LMICs. ME…
Availability and readiness of health facilities to provide emergency obstetric care in eight low- and lower-middle-income countries
BACKGROUND: Despite progress in reducing global maternal mortality in recent decades, low- and lower-middle-income countries (LLMICs) continue to face major challenges. To reduce preventable maternal deaths, the WHO recommends emergency obstetric care (EmOC) in health facilities (HFs). However, up-to-date multi-country evidence on availability and readiness in LLMICs remains very limited. Hence, we analysed EmOC service availability and readiness…
