  • Co‐causation of reduced newborn size by maternal undernutrition, infections, and inflammation

    Open AccessPer Ashorn, Lotta Hallamaa et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2018

    More than 20 million babies are born with low birthweight annually. Small newborns have an increased risk for mortality, growth failure, and other adverse outcomes. Numerous antenatal risk factors for small newborn size have been identified, but individual interventions addressing them have not markedly improved the health outcomes of interest. We tested a hypothesis that in low-income settings, newborn size is influenced jointly by multiple mate…

  • Supplementation during pregnancy with small‐quantity lipid‐based nutrient supplements or multiple micronutrients, compared with iron and folic acid, increases women's urinary iodine concentration in s…

    Open AccessSeth Adu-Afarwuah, Rebecca T Young et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2017

    There is little information on whether prenatal multiple micronutrient (MMN) supplements containing iodine affect women's iodine status. In the International Lipid-based Nutrient Supplements DYAD-Ghana trial, we aimed to assess women's urinary iodine concentration (UIC, μg/L) during pregnancy, as one of the planned secondary outcomes. Women (n = 1,320) <20 weeks of gestation were randomized to consume 60 mg iron and 400 μg folic acid per day (iro…

  • Impact of small‐quantity lipid‐based nutrient supplement on hemoglobin, iron status and biomarkers of inflammation in pregnant Ghanaian women

    Open AccessSeth Adu-Afarwuah, Anna Lartey et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2016

    We examined hemoglobin (Hb, g/L), iron status (zinc protoporphyrin, ZPP, μmol/mol heme, and transferrin receptor, TfR, mg/L) and inflammation (C-reactive protein, CRP and alpha-1 glycoprotein, AGP) in pregnant Ghanaian women who participated in a randomized controlled trial. Women (n = 1320) received either 60 mg Fe + 400-μg folic acid (IFA); 18 micronutrients including 20-mg Fe (MMN) or small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements (SQ-LNS, 11…

  • Considerations in developing lipid‐based nutrient supplements for prevention of undernutrition

    Open AccessMary Arimond, Mamane Zeilani et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2013

    The International Lipid-Based Nutrient Supplements (iLiNS) Project began in 2009 with the goal of contributing to the evidence base regarding the potential of lipid-based nutrient supplements (LNS) to prevent undernutrition in vulnerable populations. The first project objective was the development of acceptable LNS products for infants 6-24 months and for pregnant and lactating women, for use in studies in three countries (Burkina Faso, Ghana and…

  • Acceptability of three novel lipid-based nutrient supplements among Malawian infants and their caregivers

    Open AccessJohn Phuka, Ulla Ashorn et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2011

    We tested the acceptability of three new lipid-based nutrient supplements (LNSs) in two independent phases among 18 8-12-month-old healthy rural Malawians and their caregivers. In phase 1, acceptability was assessed by offering three new LNSs in random order, and an LNS already determined to be acceptable, Nutributter(®), each added to 30 g of warm maize porridge over three consecutive days. In phase 2, infants from each village were provided one…

  • Acceptability of lipid-based nutrient supplements (LNS) among Ghanaian infants and pregnant or lactating women

    Open AccessSeth Adu-Afarwuah, Anna Lartey et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2010

    Inadequate micronutrient intake during pregnancy, lactation and infancy is a major problem in many developing countries. Lipid-based nutrient supplements (LNS) can improve micronutrient status, growth and development of infants, and also have potential to improve nutritional status of pregnant and lactating women. The objective of the study was to test the acceptability of LNS designed for infants (LNS-20gM) and pregnant or lactating women (LNS-P…

  • Acceptability of zinc-fortified, lipid-based nutrient supplements (LNS) prepared for young children in Burkina Faso

    Open AccessSonja Y Hess, Lucien Bado et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2010

    Micronutrient deficiencies are a public health concern among young children in low-income countries, and novel strategies are needed to improve the nutritional status of children at risk. One promising approach is the use of lipid-based nutrient supplements (LNS), which can be added to complementary food at the time of consumption. The optimal amount of zinc to include in LNS is uncertain, and concerns have been expressed about possible adverse e…
