  • Mothers' groups enrich diet and culture through promoting traditional Quichua foods

    Open AccessMarion Roche, Lorena Ambato et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2017

    Indigenous Peoples in Latin America bear a disproportionate burden of undernutrition, yet traditional foods, including wild leafy greens, can contribute nutritional value to diets. As part of a community nutrition intervention using local foods in highland Tungurahua, Ecuador, mothers' groups promoted the consumption of wild leafy greens through community cooking clubs and recipe competitions at local fairs. The objective was to assess the social…

  • Mother and child nutrition among the Chakhesang tribe in the state of Nagaland, North‐East India

    Open AccessT Longvah, Bewe Khutsoh et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2017

    Despite the importance of the nutritional status and food systems of Indigenous Peoples, the subject has received very little attention, especially in North-East India. Therefore, a community-based cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out among Chakhesang mothers with children under 5 years of age to evaluate their nutritional status and prevalence of chronic diseases in the context of their dietary habits. From 558 households (HHs), 661…

  • Gender roles, food system biodiversity, and food security in Indigenous Peoples' communities

    Open AccessHarriet V KuhnleinARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2017

    Traditional knowledge and practice of Indigenous Peoples related to their food use and well-being is a wealth of information for academic study and for public health nutrition. Despite unique long-evolved heritages of knowledge of ecosystem resources, Indigenous Peoples comprise 15% of the global poor, but only 5% of the world's population, and they experience poverty, discrimination, and poor nutritional health at far greater rates than mainstre…

  • Infant and young child feeding practices and stunting in two highland provinces in Ecuador

    Open AccessMarion Roche, Marion L Roche et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2016

    The first two years of life are critical for growth and development. Little is known about infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices in the Ecuadorian highlands and how they contribute to stunting. With the objective of understanding nutritional status and the influencing factors to design an intervention, we assessed the nutritional status of 293 infants and children between 0 and 24 months of age, living in 14 communities in the provinces…

  • Adjustments for weighing clothed babies at high altitude or in cold climates

    Open AccessMarion Roche, Theresa W Gyorkos et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2015

    Public health nutritionists rely on anthropometry for nutritional assessment, program planning, and evaluation. Children are usually heavily clothed at high altitudes and in cold climates. Failing to adjust for clothing weight could underestimate malnutrition prevalence. The objective of this paper is to validate an adjustment process for estimating clothing weight and quantify potential misclassification error. In March and September 2009, 293 a…

  • How Ethnobiology Can Contribute to Food Security

    Open AccessHarriet V KuhnleinARTICLEJournal of Ethnobiology2014

    Food insecurity is a compelling global problem with compound causation in population expansion, industrialization of agriculture and food marketing, and environmental deterioration. The United Nations system has addressed the need for food and nutrition security from a foundation of human rights law and expressed the requirement for all people to be food secure with sustainable food systems and diets. Food biodiversity is a component of the susta…

  • Higher n3-fatty acid status is associated with lower risk of iron depletion among food insecure Canadian Inuit women

    Open AccessJennifer A Jamieson, Harriet V Kuhnlein et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2013

    Iron depletion and anemia are a concern for Inuit women despite adequate total dietary iron intake primarily from heme sources. The high prevalence of H. pylori exposure, together with dietary iron adequacy, suggests an inflammation-driven iron deficiency and mild anemia. The anti-inflammatory properties of LC-PUFA may be important for iron status in this population

  • Wild Foods from Farm and Forest in the East Usambara Mountains, Tanzania

    Bronwen Powell, Patrick Maundu et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition2013

    This study explored the role of wild foods in the diets of children and mothers in the East Usambara Mountains (N = 274 dyads). We identified 92 wild food species. Although dietary diversity (most measures) was not different between seasons, wild foods accounted for a greater percentage of items consumed in the wet (food insecure) season. Many wild foods were obtained on farm; wild foods obtained from the forest accounted for less than 3% of food…

  • Effect of Traditional Food on Nutrition Improvement of Iranian Tribeswomen

    Moosa Salehi, Harriet V Kuhnlein et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition2005

    In most developing countries, women receive less food than men, both in absolute terms and in relation to their nutritional needs. However, they spend more time in total productive work than men. One way to supplement women’s nutritional needs is to use locally accessible and sustainable food commonly known as “traditional food.” To examine this concept, 481 household members from 48 subtribes of Iranian tribes in Fars province were recruited. A …
