Iron deficiency prevalence among pregnant women in Cambodia varies widely by trimester, inflammation adjustments, and across different ferritin thresholds
Iron deficiency (ID) prevalence has been consistently reported as low among non-pregnant women in Cambodia, but less is known about iron status during pregnancy. Assessing iron status during pregnancy is critical, as deficiency can increase the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. We assessed anemia, ID, and inflammation prevalence in a cohort of pregnant women in Cambodia. Venous blood from 90 pregnant women (12–32 weeks’ gestation) was collected…
Exploring factors affecting adherence to multiple micronutrient supplementation during pregnancy in Cambodia
For decades, iron-folic acid (IFA) supplements have been provided to pregnant women in Cambodia through antenatal care (ANC) services. However, mounting evidence suggests that multiple micronutrient supplements (MMS) are superior to IFA supplements in achieving positive pregnancy outcomes. The possibility of transitioning from IFA supplements to MMS in government-run health centres is currently being assessed in Cambodia. A crucial component of t…
Restricting diet for perceived health benefit
Food taboos encompass food restrictions practiced by a group that go beyond individual preferences. During pregnancy and lactation, food taboos may contribute to inadequate nutrition and poor maternal and infant health. Restriction of specific fish, meat, fruits and vegetables is common among peripartum women in many Southeast Asian countries, but data from Cambodia are lacking. In this mixed-methods study, 335 Cambodian mothers were asked open-e…
Feasibility of an At-Home Adult Stool Specimen Collection Method in Rural Cambodia
The human microbiome has received significant attention over the past decade regarding its potential impact on health. Epidemiological and intervention studies often rely on at-home stool collection methods designed for high-resource settings, such as access to an improved toilet with a modern toilet seat. However, this is not always appropriate or applicable to low-resource settings. Therefore, the design of a user-friendly stool collection kit …
Weekly iron–folic acid supplements containing 2.8 mg folic acid are associated with a lower risk of neural tube defects than the current practice of 0.4 mg
Effect of enhanced homestead food production on anaemia among Cambodian women and children
There is inconsistent evidence on the efficacy of agriculture programmes at improving women and children's anaemia and nutritional status. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of a nutrition-sensitive enhanced homestead food production (EHFP) programme on anaemia in women (18-45 years) and children (6-59 months) in rural Cambodia. Secondary outcomes were women's micronutrient status and women and children's anthropometry. In t…
Factors affecting the acceptability and consumption of Corn Soya Blend Plus as a prenatal dietary supplement among pregnant women in rural Cambodia
Objective Undernutrition is prevalent among pregnant women in Cambodia. The provision of fortified dietary supplements is one strategy to help pregnant women meet their nutritional needs. Corn Soya Blend Plus (CSBP) is a widely used prenatal dietary supplement in areas with high rates of undernutrition and food insecurity. However, little is known about its acceptability during pregnancy. The present study aimed to identify factors that affected …
