Designing programs to improve diets for maternal and child health
Improving maternal and child nutrition in resource-poor settings requires effective use of limited resources, but priority-setting is constrained by limited information about program costs and impacts, especially for interventions designed to improve diet quality. This study utilized a mixed methods approach to identify, describe and estimate the potential costs and impacts on child dietary intake of 12 nutrition-sensitive programs in Ethiopia, N…
Policy content and stakeholder network analysis for infant and young child feeding in Bangladesh
Although there is strong supportive policy environment for IYCF, it is important that policies cover all populations. Our analysis indicated that opportunities to strengthen the policy environment include: expanding population coverage, increasing inter-sector coordination, improving translation of policy objectives to implementation-level documents, and the engagement of non-public sectors. In addition, we recommend explicit strategies to engage…
Opportunities for strengthening infant and young child feeding policies in South Asia
The key opportunities for strengthening IYCF policy support were in relation to translating strategic directives into implementation level documents; improving multi-sectoral support and coordination; and increased clarity regarding roles and responsibilities of frontline workers interacting with mothers. These findings can support efforts to strengthen IYCF policy at the national and regional level
Comparisons of complementary feeding indicators and associated factors in children aged 6–23 months across five South Asian countries
Improving infant and young child feeding practices will help South Asian countries achieve the Millennium Development Goal of reducing child mortality. This paper aims to compare key indicators of complementary feeding and their determinants in children aged 6-23 months across five South Asian countries - Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The latest Demographic and Health Survey and National Family Health Survey India data were us…
Determinants of inappropriate complementary feeding practices in infant and young children in Bangladesh
Suboptimal and inappropriate complementary feeding practices are one of the major causes of child undernutrition in the first 2 years of life in South Asian countries including Bangladesh. The aim of this study was to use the newly developed World Health Organization infant feeding indicators to identify the potential risk factors associated with inappropriate complementary feeding practices. We used data for 1728 children aged 6-23 months obtain…
Dietary influence on Type 2 Diabetes (NIDDM)
Incidence of diabetes particularly Non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus is on the rise amongst the entire world population particularly in the residents belonging to younger age groups of developing countries located in Southeast Asia. The causes are many and predominated by nature-nurture role. Improper dietary intake of w-6 and w-3 fatty acids chasing the cholesterol myth of 70’s may be an important reason of increased diabetes in India. Cor…
Role of Resistant Starches Particularly Rice Containing Resistant Starches in Type 2 Diabetes
Non-insulin-dependent or type 2 diabetes mellitus is on the rise in India particularly in the affluent urban and rural population. The exact cause is unknown. Malnutrition, defective intake of essential fatty acids and reduced intake of fibres are found in Indian diet, particularly rural Indian diet and the dietary factors may be one of the causes leading to increased incidence of the disease. Dietary fibers reduce blood glucose and cholesterol l…
Responses to
The paper by Hossain et al. (2005) suggests that the Bangladesh Integrated Nutrition Project (BINP) budgeted at US$60 million over 5 years was an expensive and ineffective project. While every such large-scale project has faults and can be improved, we would like to clarify several points in the paper. First, the title of the paper stresses the large price tag. Certainly US$60 million is a huge sum, but also recall that this translates into less …
Can mothers identify malnutrition in their children
To assess mothers' perceptions about malnutrition and their ability to identify malnutrition in their own children, 339 children aged 3–35 months and their mothers were studied in two urban hospitals in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and in a community clinic. The weight, height, and mid-upper arm circumference of the children were measured, and their mothers were interviewed. Child nutritional status according to their mother's statement and anthropometrica…
