  • Fruit and Vegetable Consumption Patterns and Risk of Chronic Diseases of Lifestyle among University Students in Kenya

    Open AccessMoriasi Nyanchoka, Martha E van Stuijvenberg et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    This study assesses the fruit and vegetable consumption patterns and risk factors for chronic diseases of lifestyle (CDL) among young adults attending Kenyatta University, Kenya. Four hundred and twenty-three young adults aged 19-30 years participated in the cross-sectional study. Males were 75.0% less likely to be overweight than females (OR = 0.25; 0.13-0.47). The mean overall consumption of fruit and/or vegetables amounted to 3.6 servings in a…

  • Liver is widely eaten by preschool children in the Northern Cape province of South Africa

    Open AccessMartha E van Stuijvenberg, Serina E Schoeman et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2019

    Previous research has demonstrated a virtual absence of vitamin A deficiency and adequacy of vitamin A intake through consumption of liver in preschool children of a community in the Northern Cape province of South Africa where sheep farming is common, and liver, an exceptionally rich source of vitamin A, is frequently eaten. Only 60-75 g of liver per month is needed to meet the vitamin A requirement of preschool children. Because this may have i…

  • Serum retinol in post‐partum mothers and newborns from an impoverished South African community where liver is frequently eaten and vitamin A deficiency is absent

    Open AccessMartha E van Stuijvenberg, Serina E Schoeman et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2015

    Serum retinol was assessed in mothers and newborns from an impoverished South African community where liver is frequently eaten and vitamin A deficiency known to be absent. Paired cord and maternal blood (n = 201) were collected after delivery and analysed for serum retinol and C-reactive protein (CRP). Liver intake during pregnancy and intention to breastfeed were also assessed. Mean serum retinol was 1.03 μmol/L ± 0.40 in mothers and 0.73 ± 0.2…

    Open AccessJana Nel, Martha E van Stuijvenberg et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2014

    Objective To assess the contribution of liver to the vitamin A intake of 24–59-month-old children from an impoverished South African community where liver is frequently consumed and vitamin A deficiency previously shown to be absent. Design Cross-sectional. Setting Northern Cape Province, South Africa. Subjects Children aged 24–59 months ( n 150). Vitamin A intake from liver was assessed using a single 24 h recall and a quantified liver frequency…
