Getting the food list ‘right’
Open AccessWinnie Bell, Jennifer Coates et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2019

Design The analysis used data from the 2011/12 Bangladesh Integrated Household Survey (BIHS), which is nationally representative of rural Bangladesh. A total of 325 primary sampling units (PSU=village) were …

Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations were measured by RIA. Setting Communities of Rio Du…
Estimating the impact of vitamin A-fortified vegetable oil in Bangladesh in the absence of dietary assessment data
Open AccessJohn L Fiedler, Keith Lividini et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2015
Objective Vitamin A deficiency is a serious health problem in Bangladesh. The 2011–12 Bangladesh Micronutrient Survey found 76·8 % of children of pre-school age were vitamin A deficient. In the absence of nationally representative, individual dietary assessment data, we use an alternative – household income and expenditure survey data – to estimate the potential impact of the introduction of vitamin A-fortified vegetable oil in Bangladesh. Design…
Household-level dietary quality indicator for countries in nutritional transition
Open AccessMelissa Fuster, Robert F Houser et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2014
Objective To develop a household-level diet quality indicator (HDQI) using the Salvadorian dietary guidelines to assess the dietary quality of households in vulnerable communities in El Salvador. Design The Salvadorian dietary guidelines were reviewed and eighteen HDQI components were identified (nine foods and nine nutrients). The components were evaluated using a proportional scoring system from 0 to 1, penalizing over- and under-consumption, w…
Development of a pediatric cariogenicity index
Open AccessE Whitney Evans, Catherine Hayes et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Health Dentistry2013
The liquid cariogenicity index has potential in research and clinical settings to provide a liquid cariogenicity score and help quickly identify modifiable risk factors within a child's diet. Further research is needed to test its utility in clinical and public health settings
Local Notions of Healthy Eating and National Dietary Guidelines
Melissa Fuster, Ellen Messer et al.ARTICLEFood and Foodways2013References: 24

The study included focus groups, key-informant interviews, and observations of the food environment. Local definitions of healthy eating elicited through focus groups were compared to the national Salvadoran dietary guidelines recommendations. The comparison revealed several area…

Trends in dietary patterns of Latin American populations
Open AccessOdilia I Bermudez, Kari L Tucker et al.ARTICLECadernos de Saude Publica2003Cited by: 16
It is important to characterize the level and magnitude of changes in food consumption patterns in Latin American populations as they undergo demographic and developmental transitions because of the effects of such changes on the development and progression of chronic diseases. This paper examines trends in food intake across regions in Latin America. Although trends in apparent food consumption differ in magnitude and timing, the overall pattern…
