BACKGROUND: Significant physiological changes occur in adolescence, including the onset of menarche in girls. However, the extent to which menstrual bleeding contributes to anaemia and micronutrient deficiencies remains unclear. This study assesses the prevalence of anaemia and micronutrient deficiencies and examines their association with menarcheal status, menstrual bleeding severity and other factors among adolescent girls in Lebanon. METHODS:…
The impact of poverty on child malnutrition and health in Lebanon
Our findings underscore the profound impact of poverty on child malnutrition and infections. To effectively and sustainably address these challenges, a holistic, multisectoral approach is needed, combining targeted nutritional programs, social protection programs, WASH initiatives and educational interventions to break the cycle of poverty and malnutrition
Effectiveness of zinc-fortified water on zinc intake, status and morbidity in Kenyan pre-school children
Objective Zn deficiency and diarrhoea are prevalent and may coexist in children living in low-resource settings. Recently, a novel approach for delivering Zn via microbiologically treated, Zn-fortified water was shown to be effective in improving Zn status in West African schoolchildren. We assessed the effectiveness of Zn-fortified, microbiologically purified water delivered as a household intervention on Zn intake, status and morbidity in child…
Combining food‐based dietary recommendations using Optifood with zinc‐fortified water potentially improves nutrient adequacy among 4‐ to 6‐year‐old children in Kisumu West district, Kenya
Children in developing countries often face multiple micronutrient deficiencies. Introduction of zinc-fortified water can increase zinc intake, but additional recommendations are required to address overall diet nutrient adequacy. We developed and tested food-based recommendations (FBRs) that included zinc-fortified water for children aged between 4 and 6 years from rural Kenya to achieve the best possible nutrient adequacy. Dietary intakes of 60…
