Seasonal patterns of malaria, genital infection, nutritional and iron status in non-pregnant and pregnant adolescents in Burkina Faso
Our analysis supports preventive treatment of malaria among adolescents 15-19 years to decrease their disease burden, especially asymptomatic malaria. As BIS were adequate in most adolescents despite seasonal malaria, a requirement for programmatic iron supplementation was not substantiated
Risk of malaria in young children after periconceptional iron supplementation
This study in Burkina Faso investigated whether offspring of young mothers who had received weekly periconceptional iron supplementation in a randomised controlled trial were at increased risk of malaria. A child safety survey was undertaken in the peak month of malaria transmission towards the end of the trial to assess child iron biomarkers, nutritional status, anaemia and malaria outcomes. Antenatal iron biomarkers, preterm birth, fetal growth…
“There is Iron and Iron…” Burkinabè Women’s Perceptions of Iron Supplementation
Implications of inconsistent anaemia policies for children and adolescents in Africa
Objective To evaluate the quality of policies concerning the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of anaemia in children and adolescents; to determine to what extent these are evidence-based; and to use this analysis to inform the policy-making process. Subjects Children and adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa. Setting Almost 50 % of children and adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa are anaemic, which has profound effects on their intellectual and phys…
Asthma in Children in Relation to Pre-term Birth and Fetal Growth Restriction
P2-61 Childhood obesity and parental smoking as risk factors for childhood ADHD in Liverpool children
Introduction ADHD prevalence has risen in parallel with rising prevalence of pregnancy smoking and childhood obesity. The objective was to determine the epidemiological association of pregnancy smoking and childhood obesity with ADHD. Methods A cross-sectional community study was conducted in 2006 using a parental questionnaire. A total of 1074 schoolchildren aged 5–11 years were enrolled from 15 primary schools in a lower socio-economic area of …
Parental smoking and increased likelihood of female births
Pregnancy cigarette smoking increased the proportion of female births with evidence for a dose-response association
Prenatal smoking exposure and asymmetric fetal growth restriction
Asymmetric IUGR occurred more frequently in heavy smokers. Stopping smoking even late in pregnancy may be beneficial for improved fetal outcomes. Symmetric IUGR was associated with maternal anaemia, highlighting the importance of prenatal nutritional status

Anthropometry of Malawian live births between 35 and 41 weeks of gestation
The aim of this analysis was to construct cross-sectional gestational age specific percentile curves for birthweight, length, head and mid-arm circumference for Malawian babies, and to compare these percentiles with reference values for babies born to women with normal pregnancies, from a developed country. A cross-sectional study which enrolled pregnant women attending two study hospitals between March 1993 and July 1994 was undertaken. Data on …
Acceptability of the use of iron cooking pots to reduce anaemia in developing countries
Objective: To evaluate acceptability, compliance and attitude towards the use of iron pots compared with aluminium pots, for cooking in a community that traditionaly did not use iron pots. Design: Randomised trial. Setting: Two rural Malawian villages. Subjects: Fifty-two households received iron pots and 61 aluminium pots. Results: Pot characteristics were assessed by a questionnaire after 3, 6, 11 and 20 weeks of use. Within households using ir…
Anaemia- and malaria-attributable low birthweight in two populations in Papua New Guinea
We studied 7300 singleton births in the highlands and 4881 in coastal Papua New Guinea in order to examine the separate contribution of anaemia or malaria to low birthweight. The highland sample was selected from a non-malarious area (Goroka) and the coastal sample from an area with perennial malaria transmission (Madang). There was an approximately three-fold increased risk of low birthweight (< 2500 g) in live-births in Madang compared to Gorok…
