Contribution of food sources to the vitamin B 12 status of South Indian children from a birth cohort recruited in the city of Mysore
Objective There is evidence that subclinical vitamin B 12 (B 12 ) deficiency is common in India. Vegetarianism is prevalent and therefore meat consumption is low. Our objective was to explore the contribution of B 12 -source foods and maternal B 12 status during pregnancy to plasma B 12 concentrations. Design Maternal plasma B 12 concentrations were measured during pregnancy. Children’s dietary intakes and plasma B 12 concentrations were measured…
Diet patterns are associated with demographic factors and nutritional status in S outh I ndian children
The burden of non-communicable chronic disease (NCD) in India is increasing. Diet and body composition 'track' from childhood into adult life and contribute to the development of risk factors for NCD. Little is known about the diet patterns of Indian children. We aimed to identify diet patterns and study associations with body composition and socio-demographic factors in the Mysore Parthenon Study cohort. We collected anthropometric and demograph…

The nutrition and health transition in the North West Province of South Africa
Objective To describe how urbanisation influences the nutrition and health transition in South Africa by using data from the THUSA (Transition and Health during Urbanisation of South Africans) study. Design The THUSA study was a cross-sectional, comparative, population-based survey. Setting The North West Province of South Africa. Subjects In total, 1854 apparently healthy volunteers, men and women aged 15 years and older, from 37 randomly select…
Fortification of maize meal improved the nutritional status of 1–3-year-old African children
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of a vitamin-fortified maize meal to improve the nutritional status of 1–3-year-old malnourished African children. Design A randomised parallel intervention study was used in which 21 experimental children and their families received maize meal fortified with vitamin A, thiamine, riboflavin and pyridoxine, while 23 control children and their families received unfortified maize meal. The maize meal was provi…
The principles, definition and dimensions of the new nutrition science
Objective To specify the principles, definition and dimensions of the new nutrition science. Purpose To identify nutrition, with its application in food and nutrition policy, as a science with great width and breadth of vision and scope, in order that it can fully contribute to the preservation, maintenance, development and sustenance of life on Earth. Method A brief overview shows that current conventional nutrition is defined as a biological sc…
The nutritional status of asymptomatic HIV-infected Africans
Objective: To compare the relationships between food (nutrient) intakes and biochemical markers of nutritional status of asymptomatic HIV-infected with HIV-uninfected subjects, to gain more information on the appropriate diet for HIV-infected persons at an early stage of infection. Design: Cross-sectional population-based survey. Setting: North West Province, South Africa. Subjects: Two hundred and sixteen asymptomatic HIV-infected and 1550 HIV-u…
