A simulation study to improve calcium intake through wheat flour fortification
Objective: To simulate the impact on calcium intake – effectiveness and safety – of fortifying wheat flour with 200, 400 and 500 mg of calcium per 100 g of flour. Design: Secondary analysis of cross-sectional data collected through repeated 24 h dietary recalls using the Iowa State University Intake Modelling, Assessment and Planning Program. Setting: Urban cities in the National Health and Nutrition Survey of Argentina (ENNyS 2018–2019). Partici…

Impact of water fortification with calcium on calcium intake in different countries
Objective: To simulate the impact – effectiveness and safety – of water fortification with different concentrations of Ca using the Intake Modelling, Assessment and Planning Program. Design: This is a secondary analysis of national or sub-national dietary intake databases. Setting and Participants: Uganda, Lao People’s Democratic Republic (PDR), Bangladesh, Zambia, Argentina, USA and Italy. Results: We found that for dietary databases assessed fr…
Pregnant Women’s Secondhand Smoke Exposure and Receipt of Screening and Brief Advice by Prenatal Care Providers in Argentina and Uruguay
Barriers and Promoters of an Evidenced-Based Smoking Cessation Counseling During Prenatal Care in Argentina and Uruguay
PS21 Evaluation of Maternity Care Intervention in Rural Nepal
Background In developing countries, where the majority of the world’s maternal deaths occur it is recognised that to target maternal mortality within limited resources, safe motherhood strategies need to be targeted to rural areas and to the poor in order to increase access to antenatal care and delivery care. In these populations, a lack of understanding of local beliefs and practices, and the reasons for them, can hinder the development of appr…
Weight status and hypertension among adolescent girls in Argentina and Norway
This study confirms a current world health problem by showing the high prevalence of obesity in adolescents and its association with hypertension in two different countries (one developed and one in transition)
Maternal-perinatal morbidity and mortality associated with adolescent pregnancy in Latin America
The Right to Be Accompanied at Birth
IN the last several years the Buenos Aires city congress and the national congresses in Argentina and Uruguay have approved similar civil laws stating that women have the right to be accompanied during labour and delivery. This is an important example of how parliamentarians in a number of countries are recognising that evidence-based practices in health care can become rights. The Uruguayan law passed in August 2001 states that during labour and…
Womens' opinions on antenatal care in developing countries
Recommendations to improve ANC services performance are being proposed. Any country interested in the application of a new ANC protocol should regard the opinion and acceptability of women towards changes
WHO antenatal care randomised trial for the evaluation of a new model of routine antenatal care
El parto pretérmino
Every year around the world some 13 million premature children are born. Most of these children are born in developing countries, and they account for the largest share of perinatal morbidity and mortality. This review study analyzed scientifically validated data on interventions to prevent at least some portion of these preterm deliveries and to lessen their impact on neonatal health. The Cochrane and MEDLINE bibliographic databases were consult…

Diarrheal diseases, nutritional status and health care
The relationship between diarrheal diseases, nutritional status and health care has been studied prospectively in a group of Guatemalan Indian children below two years of age. From the data it was concluded that acute and chronic malnutrition is positively associated with the incidence and duration of gastrointestinal disorders, and that the negative nutritional consequences of diarrhea are more significant in malnourished children than in well‐n…
Income and growth retardation in poor families with similar living conditions in rural Guatemala
The relationship between annual family per capita income (AFPCI) and growth retardation in children as ascertained by weight for age (W/A), height for age (H/A) and weight for height (W/H) was studied in families residing in coffee plantations in Guatemala. When W/A and H/A are correlated with AFPCI, significant differences are observed (P 0.05). When AFPCI data are divided by quartiles of income levels, the prevalence of growth retardation is re…
