Relationship of Maternal Knowledge of Anemia with Maternal and Child Anemia and Health-Related Behaviors Targeted at Anemia Among Families in Indonesia
Relationship of homestead food production with night blindness among children below 5 years of age in Bangladesh
Objective To examine the relationship between homestead food production and night blindness among pre-school children in rural Bangladesh in the presence of a national vitamin A supplementation programme. Design A cross-sectional study. Setting A population-based sample of six rural divisions of Bangladesh assessed in the Bangladesh Nutrition Surveillance Project 2001–2005. Subjects A total of 158 898 children aged 12–59 months. Results The preva…

Relationship of serum carotenoids and retinol with anaemia among pre-school children in the northern mountainous region of Vietnam
Objective To characterize the relationship between serum carotenoids, retinol and anaemia among pre-school children. Design A cross-sectional study was conducted in two groups: anaemic and non-anaemic. Serum levels of retinol, α-carotene, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lycopene, lutein and zeaxanthin were measured in the study subjects. Setting Six rural communes of Dinh Hoa, a rural and mountainous district in Thai Nguyen Province, in the northern…
Effect of parental formal education on risk of child stunting in Indonesia and Bangladesh
Paternal smoking and increased risk of child malnutrition among families in rural Indonesia
Paternal smoking is associated with an increased risk of child malnutrition in families living in rural Indonesia
Paternal Smoking and Increased Risk of Infant and Under-5 Child Mortality in Indonesia
We examined the relationship between paternal smoking and child mortality. Among 361 021 rural and urban families in Indonesia, paternal smoking was associated with increased infant mortality (rural, odds ratio [OR] = 1.30; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.24, 1.35; urban, OR = 1.10; 95% CI = 1.01, 1.20), and under-5 child mortality (rural, OR = 1.32; 95% CI = 1.26, 1.37; urban, OR = 1.14; 95% CI = 1.05, 1.23). Paternal smoking diverts money from…
Paternal smoking is associated with increased risk of child malnutrition among poor urban families in Indonesia
Objective Paternal smoking is highly prevalent in Asia, and tobacco may account for a large proportion of household expenditures among poor families. We sought to characterise the relationship between paternal smoking, child malnutrition and food expenditures. Design Data on smoking, household expenditures and child malnutrition were examined in a stratified multistage cluster sample of households in the Indonesia nutrition surveillance system. M…
Physical activity in a cohort of HIV-positive and HIV-negative injection drug users
Physical activity is beneficial for persons with HIV infection but little is known about the relationships between physical activity, HIV treatment and injection drug use (IDU). This study compared physical activity levels between HIV-negative and HIV-positive injection drug users (IDUs) and between HIV-positive participants not on any treatment and participants on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Anthropometric measurements were obt…
