Changes in women's dietary diversity before and during pregnancy in Southern Benin
Dietary diversity before and during pregnancy is crucial to ensure optimal foetal health and development. We carried out a cohort study of women of reproductive age living in the Sô-Ava and Abomey-Calavi districts (Southern Benin) to investigate women's changes in dietary diversity and identify their determinants both before and during pregnancy. Nonpregnant women were enrolled (n = 1214) and followed up monthly until they became pregnant (n = 31…
Intra-household double burden of malnutrition in a North African nutrition transition context
Objective In the Middle East and North Africa region, the nutrition transition has resulted in drastic increases in excess adiposity, particularly among women, while some types of undernutrition remain prevalent, especially among pre-school children. We assessed the magnitude, nature and associated factors of the within-household co-occurrence of anaemia in children and excess adiposity in mothers. Design Cross-sectional survey using stratified t…
Gender inequalities in excess adiposity and anaemia combine in a large double burden of malnutrition gap detrimental to women in an urban area in North Africa
Objective The nutrition transition has exacerbated the gender gap in health in the Middle East and North Africa region as the increase in excess adiposity has been much higher among women than men. This is not exclusive of the persistence of anaemia, generally also more prevalent among women. We assessed the magnitude and sociodemographic factors associated with gender inequality vis-à-vis the double burden of excess adiposity and anaemia. Design…
Socio-economic and behavioural determinants of fruit and vegetable intake in Moroccan women
Objective To estimate daily fruit and vegetable intakes and to investigate socio-economic and behavioural differences in fruit and vegetable consumption among urban Moroccan women. Design A cross-sectional survey. Fruit and vegetable intake was measured with a single 24 h recall. Settings A representative population-based survey conducted in the area of Rabat-Salé. Subjects Women ( n 894) of child-bearing age (20–49 years). Results Mean fruit and…
A frequency questionnaire to estimate free-living physical activity among Tunisian preadolescent and adolescent children
Objective To develop a child- and adolescent-appropriate physical activity frequency questionnaire (PAFQ) in Tunisia, North Africa. Design A PAFQ was developed from a physical activity (PA) inventory that comprised major activity components (at home, preparing meals, school time, transport, non-sport leisure, sports, prayer and sleeping time). Then, type and duration of each activity undertaken during the past week were estimated. Total energy ex…
Determinants of nutrition improvement in a large-scale urban project
Determinants of benefit from CNP differed from the risk factors for underweight. Identification of participants with a lower probability of recovery can help improve outcome. Moreover, an explanation for the lack of recovery could be that many underweight children are stunted but not necessarily wasted
Knowledge of dietary and behaviour-related determinants of non-communicable disease in urban Senegalese women
Findings suggest reasonable overall knowledge concerning diet and behaviour with NCD, especially given the relatively new context of the obesity epidemic in Senegal. However, there was poor knowledge of the benefit of eating fruit and vegetables and other preventable causes of certain cancers. Education targeting the benefits of vegetables and fruit may have the greatest impact on NCD prevention
Knowledge of dietary and behaviour-related determinants of non-communicable disease in urban Senegalese women
Objective To assess knowledge of dietary and behaviour-related determinants of non-communicable disease (NCD) of urban Senegalese women. Design A cross-sectional, population study using an interviewer-administered knowledge questionnaire, developed and validated for this study. The questionnaire consisted of 24 items with six scores measuring knowledge of: (1) diet- and behaviour-related causes of NCD; (2) diet quality–NCD relationship; (3) fruit…
Determinants of nutrition improvement in a large-scale urban project
Objective To study individual determinants of differential benefit from the Senegal Community Nutrition Project (CNP) by monitoring improvement in children's weight-for-age index (WA) or underweight status (WA Z -scores) during participation. Design A follow-up study using the CNP child monitoring data. Linear general models compared variations in WA according to 14 factors describing the beneficiaries and CNP services. Setting Poor neighbourhood…
Sensitivity and specificity of the body mass index to assess low percent body fat in African women
The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of the body mass index (BMI, kg/m2) to reflect low percent body fat (%BF) in a population with a rather mild but widespread prevalence of low BMI. A sample of 586 women was studied in the Plateau Koukouya, a rural area of the Republic of Congo, Central Africa. Percent BF was estimated from bioelectrical impedance (BIA). BIA parameters were assumed to reflect lean body mass. The correlation b…
