Measurement of executive functioning in pre-school aged children in India
Executive function (EF) is a core aspect of development, however, the current body of EF research is disproportionately influenced by studies conducted in Western, high-income countries, with limited representation from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) such as India. This imbalance raises concerns about the generalizability and cultural relevance of EF constructs and assessment tools. To address this gap, this scoping review examined the …
Peri-conceptional diet patterns and the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus in South Indian women
Objective: To identify peri-conceptional diet patterns among women in Bangalore and examine their associations with risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Design: BAngalore Nutrition Gestational diabetes LifEstyle Study, started in June 2016, was a prospective observational study, in which women were recruited at 5–16 weeks’ gestation. Peri-conceptional diet was recalled at recruitment, using a validated 224-item FFQ. GDM was assessed by a …
How do we improve adolescent diet and physical activity in India and sub-Saharan Africa? Findings from the Transforming Adolescent Lives through Nutrition (Talent) consortium
Objective: Adolescent diet, physical activity and nutritional status are generally known to be sub-optimal. This is an introduction to a special issue of papers devoted to exploring factors affecting diet and physical activity in adolescents, including food insecure and vulnerable groups. Setting Eight settings including urban, peri-urban and rural across sites from five different low- and middle-income countries. Design: Focus groups with adoles…
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…
Risk of childhood undernutrition related to small-for-gestational age and preterm birth in low- and middle-income countries
BACKGROUND: Low- and middle-income countries continue to experience a large burden of stunting; 148 million children were estimated to be stunted, around 30-40% of all children in 2011. In many of these countries, foetal growth restriction (FGR) is common, as is subsequent growth faltering in the first 2 years. Although there is agreement that stunting involves both prenatal and postnatal growth failure, the extent to which FGR contributes to stu…
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…
Testing the fetal overnutrition hypothesis; the relationship of maternal and paternal adiposity to adiposity, insulin resistance and cardiovascular risk factors in Indian children
Objective We aimed to test the fetal overnutrition hypothesis by comparing the associations of maternal and paternal adiposity (sum of skinfolds) with adiposity and cardiovascular risk factors in children. Design Children from a prospective birth cohort had anthropometry, fat percentage (bio-impedance), plasma glucose, insulin and lipid concentrations and blood pressure measured at 9·5 years of age. Detailed anthropometric measurements were recor…
Breastfeeding duration, age of starting solids and high BMI risk and adiposity in Indian children
This study utilized data from a prospective birth cohort study on 568 Indian children, to determine whether a longer duration of breastfeeding and later introduction of solid feeding were associated with a reduced higher body mass index (BMI) and less adiposity. Main outcomes were high BMI (>90th within-cohort sex-specific BMI percentile) and sum of skinfold thickness (triceps and subscapular) at age 5. Main exposures were breastfeeding (six cate…
Adiposity and cardiometabolic risk markers among Indian children
Background UK Indian adults have higher risks of coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes (T2D) than both Indian and UK white European adults. With growing evidence that these risks begin before adulthood, we examined whether differences in adiposity and cardiometabolic risk markers were apparent between Indian children who live in India compared to Indian and white European children who live in the UK. Methods Comparisons of cardiometabolic ma…
P2-222 Risk markers for coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes in childhood
Introduction UK Indian adults have higher risks of coronary heart disease (CHD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) than Indian and UK European adults. With growing evidence that CHD and T2D risks begin before adulthood, we compared risk factor patterns in Indian children living in India and the UK. Methods We compared markers of adiposity and cardiometabolic risk in 9–10 year-old Indian children in the Mysore Parthenon birth cohort study, India (n=538) an…
