Purpose: The PRAYAS Individual Patient Data Meta-analysis (IPD-MA) database aims to estimate the prevalence of anemia among children under 18 years, non-pregnant and non-lactating (NPNL) women, and pregnant women (by trimester), with further stratification by age group, year, and region of India. Beyond prevalence, it seeks to address the etiological contribution of iron and other erythropoietic micronutrient deficiencies and to evaluate the effe…
Voices of Children on Movement Behaviours in the Early Years
Little is currently known about young children's perceptions and experiences of 24-hour movement behaviours (physical activity, sedentary behaviour, sleep), yet their voices play an important role in contributing to our understanding and ensuring that appropriate action is taken to promote healthy behaviours. With the release of the World Health Organisation's Guidelines for physical activity, sedentary behaviours and sleep for children under 5 y…
Sustaining stakeholder engagement for health research during the Covid-19 pandemic
Governments worldwide responded to the continual waves of the COVID-19 pandemic with unprecedented measures ranging from social distancing and cancellation of public events to border restrictions and complete closure of all but essential services [1]. Health research studies were suspended, becoming casualties of COVID-19-related lockdowns and distancing policies [2]. Engaging and involving stakeholders including patients, [...]
Development and Implementation of Liposomal Encapsulated Micronutrient Fortified Body Oil Intervention for Infant Massage
Indian communities have the ancient cultural practice of gentle oil massage for infants which has been shown to play a beneficial role in neuro-motor development. The concept of incorporating nanosized liposomes of micronutrients (i.e., iron, folate, vitamin B12, and vitamin D) in the body oil leverages this practice for transdermal supplementation of essential micro-nutrients. This paper describes the experience of developing an intervention in …
Global effect of Covid-19 pandemic on physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep among 3- to 5-year-old children
PA and SST levels of children from LMICs have been less impacted by COVID-19 than in HICs. Ensuring children can access an outdoor space, and supporting parents' mental health are important prerequisites for enabling pre-schoolers to practice healthy movement behaviours and meet the Global guidelines
Sitting height percentiles in 3–17-year-old Indian children
Background: Sitting height (StH) percentiles are not described for the Indian paediatric population. Aim: To generate multicentre StH percentile values for Indian children. Subjects and methods: A total of 7961 apparently healthy children (3-17 years old, Boys: 4328) randomly selected from 10 schools from six states of India were measured for height (ht), StH and weight during July 2016-October 2017. Results: The StH:Ht ratio was 0.52 (0.02) and …
Body size and body composition
BACKGROUND: Indian babies are characterised by the 'thin-fat phenotype' which comprises a 'muscle-thin but adipose' body composition compared with European babies. This body phenotype is of concern because it is associated with an increased risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. We examined whether the 'thin-fat phenotype' persists through early childhood, comparing Indian children with white Caucasians in the UK at birth, infancy and child…
Iodine status during pregnancy in India and related neonatal and infant outcomes
Objective To document iodine status in Indian pregnancies, associations with maternal diet and demographics, and offspring developmental measures. Design Longitudinal study following mothers through pregnancy and offspring up to 24 months. Setting Rural health-care centre (Vadu) and urban antenatal clinic (Pune) in the Maharashtra region of India. Subjects Pregnant mothers at 17 ( n 132) and 34 weeks’ ( n 151) gestation and their infants from bir…
OP63 Body Size and Body Composition
Background Indian children have been shown to be smaller in all body measurements compared with white Caucasian British children at birth, one and four years, but they show a particular pattern of smallness, with relative sparing of subcutaneous fat– the so-called ‘thin-fat’ phenotype. Recently, Indian children at age 6 years were found to have a higher body fat percentage from DXA measurements than white British children, despite a lower BMI. Ho…
