  • Re-thinking “non-response” to wasting treatment

    Open AccessCécile Cazes, Heather Stobaugh et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Children who receive therapeutic feeding for wasting treatment but do not reach the anthropometric definitions of recovery (usually within 12–16 weeks) are categorised as ‘non-responders’ and considered as treatment failures. We conducted a pooled analysis to explore the growth trajectories of non-responders and the appropriateness of the definition of ‘non-response’. We pooled 14 studies of children aged 6–59 months receiving treatment for wasti…

  • Prognostic value of different anthropometric indices over different measurement intervals to predict mortality in 6–59-month-old children

    Open AccessAndré Briend, Mark Myatt et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2023

    Objective: To compare the prognostic value of mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), weight-for-height Z -score (WHZ) and weight-for-age Z -score (WAZ) for predicting death over periods of 1, 3 and 6 months follow-up in children. Design: Pooled analysis of twelve prospective studies examining survival after anthropometric assessment. Sensitivity and false-positive ratios to predict death within 1, 3 and 6 months were compared for three individual an…

  • Anthropometric criteria for best-identifying children at high risk of mortality

    Open AccessTanya Khara, Mark Myatt et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2023

    Objective: To understand which anthropometric diagnostic criteria best discriminate higher from lower risk of death in children and explore programme implications. Design: A multiple cohort individual data meta-analysis of mortality risk (within 6 months of measurement) by anthropometric case definitions. Sensitivity, specificity, informedness and inclusivity in predicting mortality, face validity and compatibility with current standards and prac…

  • Changing sex differences in undernutrition of African children

    Open AccessMichel Garenne, Susan Thurstans et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science2022

    The study investigates sex differences in the prevalence of undernutrition in sub-Saharan Africa. Undernutrition was defined by Z -scores using the CDC-2000 growth charts. Some 128 Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) were analysed, totalling 700,114 children under-five. The results revealed a higher susceptibility of boys to undernutrition. Male-to-female ratios of prevalence averaged 1.18 for stunting (height-for-age Z -score Z -score Z -score …

  • How do children with severe underweight and wasting respond to treatment? A pooled secondary data analysis to inform future intervention studies

    Open AccessGloria Odei Obeng-Amoako, Heather Stobaugh et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2022

    Children with weight-for-age z-score (WAZ) <-3 have a high risk of death, yet this indicator is not widely used in nutrition treatment programming. This pooled secondary data analysis of children aged 6-59 months aimed to examine the prevalence, treatment outcomes, and growth trajectories of children with WAZ <-3 versus children with WAZ ≥-3 receiving outpatient treatment for wasting and/or nutritional oedema, to inform future protocols. Binary t…

  • Boys are more likely to be undernourished than girls

    Open AccessSusan Thurstans, Chris Opondo et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

  • Improving screening for malnourished children at high risk of death

    Open AccessMark Myatt, Tanya Khara et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2019

    Objective To investigate whether children with concurrent wasting and stunting require therapeutic feeding and to better understand whether multiple diagnostic criteria are needed to identify children with a high risk of death and in need of treatment. Design Community-based cohort study, following 5751 children through time. Each child was visited up to four times at 6-month intervals. Anthropometric measurements were taken at each visit. Surviv…

  • Concurrent wasting and stunting among under‐five children in Niakhar, Senegal

    Open AccessMichel Garenne, Mark Myatt et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2018

    The study describes the patterns of concurrent wasting and stunting (WaSt) among children age 6–59 months living in the 1980s in Niakhar, a rural area of Senegal under demographic surveillance. Wasting and stunting were defined by z scores lower than −2 in weight for height and height for age. Both conditions were found to be highly prevalent, wasting more so before age 30 months, stunting more so after age 30 months. As a result, concurrent WaSt…

  • Use of supermarket receipts to estimate energy and fat content of food purchased by lean and overweight families

  • The use of supermarket till receipts to determine the fat and energy intake in a UK population

    Open AccessJoan K Ransley, Judith K Donnelly et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2001

    Objectives: To validate the use of supermarket receipts as an index of fat and energy intake in a population that buys most of its food from supermarkets. Design: Cross-sectional, prospective dietary survey – feasibility study. Setting: Households situated within a 20-mile radius of a large (Tesco) supermarket in Leeds. Subjects: Two hundred and fourteen households who spend ≥=60% of their food purse in (Tesco and other) supermarkets. Results: Me…
