Diet and nutrition status of adult multidrug-resistant tuberculosis cases, household controls, and community controls in Mumbai, India
India accounts for the largest national proportion of global multi-drug resistant (MDR-TB) cases and TB mortality. However, evidence on the role of diet and nutrition in MDR-TB infection remains limited. This study aimed to multifacetedly evaluate and compare diet and nutrition status of MDR-TB cases and controls in high TB-burden slum areas of Mumbai. We recruited 352 pulmonary MDR-TB cases receiving domiciliary treatment, household controls, an…
Longitudinal analysis of lifestyle risk factors, nutrition status and drivers of food choice among urban migrants in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, and Almaty, Kazakhstan
Objective: To quantify and compare concurrent within-person trends in lifestyle risks, nutrition status and drivers of food choice among urban migrants in Central Asia. Design: We collected panel data on household structure, drivers of food choice, nutrition knowledge and diverse measures of nutrition status and lifestyle risk from urban migrants at 0, 3, 6 and 9 months using harmonised methodology in two cities. Trends were analysed using mixed-…
Impact of India’s nationwide supplementary nutrition programme for pregnant women on birth weight of their newborns
BACKGROUND: This study assessed whether supplementary nutrition provided to pregnant women under the Integrated Child Development Service (ICDS) programme in India has reduced the burden of low birth weight or LBW (weight at birth: <2500 g), very low birth weight (VLBW: <1500 g) and extremely low birth weight (ELBW: <1000 g), among their newborns. METHODS: We analysed data of 148 265 index children from the nationally representative 2019-2021 Nat…
Estimated effect of age of marriage on utilisation of India’s Integrated Child Development Service programme
BACKGROUND: Age of marriage among women is considered an important indicator of their readiness for familial integration and parenting. This study estimated the effect of age of marriage of young mothers (aged 15-24 years) on utilisation of various services for their children, provided under the Integrated Child Development Service (ICDS) programme in India. METHODS: Data from the nationally representative 2019-2021 National Family Health Survey …
Women's input and decision-making in agriculture are associated with diet quality in rural Tanzania
Background: Women's empowerment is one critical pathway through which agriculture can impact women's nutrition; however, empirical evidence is still limited. We evaluated the associations of women's participation, input, and decision-making in key agricultural and household activities with women's diet quality. Methods: We analyzed data from a cross-sectional study of 870 women engaged in homestead agriculture. We used food frequency questionnair…
Dietary intake and quality for young adolescents in sub‐Saharan Africa
Adolescents face the risk of the triple burden of malnutrition-the co-existence of micronutrient deficiencies, underweight and overweight and obesity and related noncommunicable diseases. Poor-quality diets are a modifiable risk factor for all forms of malnutrition in adolescents. However, there is limited knowledge about diet quality for African adolescents. We analyzed data from 4609 school-going adolescents aged 10-15 years in Burkina Faso, Et…
Associations of percentage energy intake from total, animal and plant protein with overweight/obesity and underweight among adults in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Objective: This study investigated associations between types and food sources of protein with overweight/obesity and underweight in Ethiopia. Design: We conducted a cross-sectional dietary survey using a non-quantitative FFQ. Linear regression models were used to assess associations between percentage energy intake from total, animal and plant protein and BMI. Logistic regression models were used to examine the associations of percentage energy …

Effect of micronutrient supplements on influenza and other respiratory tract infections among adults
Acute respiratory tract infections (ARIs) are a leading cause of ill-health and death globally. Individual or multiple micronutrients have been shown to modulate immune function and affect the risk and severity of a number of infectious diseases. We systematically reviewed the evidence on the impact of micronutrient supplements to reduce the occurrence of ARIs and shorten the duration of ARI symptoms among adults. Random effects meta-analyses wer…
Diet quality and all-cause mortality among US adults, estimated from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), 2003–2008
Objective: We assessed the ability of the Prime Diet Quality Score (PDQS) to predict mortality in the US population and compared its predictiveness with that of the Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015). Design: PDQS and HEI-2015 scores were derived using two 24-h recalls and converted to quintiles. Mortality data were obtained from the 2015 Public-Use Linked Mortality File. Associations between diet quality and all-cause mortality were evaluated …
Aflatoxin exposure in utero and birth and growth outcomes in Tanzania
Some evidence suggests that aflatoxin may contribute to the high prevalence of stunting observed in low-income countries. Whereas several studies have been conducted in West Africa, fewer exist in East Africa and even fewer in nonagricultural contexts. We analyzed serum samples from 400 iron-replete, nonanemic pregnant women from a cohort in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania to determine the extent and magnitude of exposure to aflatoxin and to study the re…
Underweight among rural Indian adults
Objective To study the magnitude and predictors of underweight, incident underweight and recovery from underweight among rural Indian adults. Design Prospective cohort study. Each participant’s BMI was measured in 2008 and 2012 and categorized as underweight (BMI 2 ), normal (BMI=18·5–22·9 kg/m 2 ) or overweight/obese (BMI ≥23·0 kg/m 2 ). Incident underweight was defined as a transition from normal weight or overweight/obese in 2008 to underweigh…
