Applying international guidelines for calcium supplementation to prevent pre-eclampsia
Objective To simulate impact of Ca supplementation on estimated total Ca intakes among women in a population with low dietary Ca intakes, using WHO recommendations: 1·5–2·0 g elemental Ca/d during pregnancy to prevent pre-eclampsia. Design Single cross-sectional 24 h dietary recall data were adjusted using IMAPP software to simulate proportions of women who would meet or exceed the Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) and Tolerable Upper Intake Le…
Prevalence of and factors associated with antenatal care seeking and adherence to recommended iron‐folic acid supplementation among pregnant women in Zinder, Niger
The World Health Organization recommends iron and folic acid (IFA) supplementation for pregnant women. The high prevalence of anaemia among pregnant women in Niger warrants better understanding of the utilization of antenatal care (ANC) and IFA. We aimed to assess the prevalence of and factors associated with ANC coverage and adherence to IFA recommendation among pregnant women. Pregnant women (n = 923) from 64 randomly selected villages within t…
Situational analysis of infant and young child nutrition policies and programmatic activities in Senegal
Progress towards reducing mortality and malnutrition among children <5 years of age has been less than needed to achieve related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Therefore, several international agencies joined to ‘Reposition children's right to adequate nutrition in the Sahel’, starting with an analysis of current activities related to infant and young child nutrition (IYCN). The main objectives of the situational analysis are to compile, an…
Situational analysis of infant and young child nutrition policies and programmatic activities in Niger
Due to limited progress towards reducing mortality and malnutrition among children <5 years of age, an alliance of international agencies joined to 'Reposition children's right to adequate nutrition in the Sahel,' starting with a situational analysis of current activities related to infant and young child nutrition (IYCN). The main objectives of this analysis are to compile, analyse, and interpret available information on infant and child feeding…
Situational analysis of infant and young child nutrition activities in the Sahel – executive summary
Several international agencies and non-governmental organizations joined forces in 2007 to support an initiative to ‘Reposition children's right to adequate nutrition in the Sahel’. The overarching goal articulated by these organizations was to achieve optimal feeding of ≥80% of children 0–24 months based on relevant and internationally agreed-upon child-feeding indicators. An early activity of the working group for this infant and young child nu…

Use of national food balance data to estimate the adequacy of zinc in national food supplies
Objectives Adequate zinc nutriture is critically important for human health, but the development of programmes to control zinc deficiency is limited by the lack of reliable information on population zinc status. The present analyses were conducted to: (1) estimate the absorbable zinc content of national food supplies; (2) compare this information with theoretical population requirements for zinc; and (3) use these results to predict national risk…
