  • Forty years later

    Open AccessMubarek Abera, Gemechu Ameya et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2026

    BACKGROUND: As the threat of child malnutrition increases, the focus remains mostly on short-term consequences. Long-term sequelae are increasingly recognised but lack strong evidence, and many studies face methodological limitations. METHOD: A retrospective cohort of survivors of the 1984-1985 Great-Ethiopian Famine was compared with two novel control groups: born post-famine; and age category- and sex-matched controls. Exposure to famine at dif…

  • From Insult to Injury

    Open AccessDEBBIE THOMPSON, Debbie S Thompson et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2025

    The relationships between severe malnutrition (SM), rehabilitation weight gain, and cardiometabolic risk in adult survivors have not been fully elucidated. We utilised a previously collected data set to explore these associations in a cohort of adults who were hospitalised for SM as children from 1963 to 1995. We studied 278 adult SM survivors: 60% male; median age (IQR) 26.5(11.3) years; mean BMI 23.6(5.2) kg/m 2 ). Children's minimum weight-for…

  • Faster rehabilitation weight gain during childhood is associated with risk of non-communicable disease in adult survivors of severe acute malnutrition

    Open AccessDEBBIE THOMPSON, Kimberley McKenzie et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Nutritional rehabilitation during severe acute malnutrition (SAM) aims to quickly restore body size and minimize poor short-term outcomes. We hypothesized that faster weight gain during treatment is associated with greater cardiometabolic risk in adult life. Anthropometry, body composition (DEXA), blood pressure, blood glucose, insulin and lipids were measured in a cohort of adults who were hospitalized as children for SAM between 1963 and 1993. …

  • Post-malnutrition growth and its associations with child survival and non-communicable disease risk

    Open AccessNatasha Lelijveld, Sioned Cox et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2023

    Objective: To explore patterns of post-malnutrition growth (PMGr) during and after treatment for severe malnutrition and describe associations with survival and non-communicable disease (NCD) risk 7 years post-treatment. Design: Six indicators of PMGr were derived based on a variety of timepoints, weight, weight-for-age z-score and height-for-age z-score (HAZ). Three categorisation methods included no categorisation, quintiles and latent class an…

  • Ageing in a non-heterosexual context

    Open AccessB Heaphy, A K T Yip et al.ARTICLEAgeing and Society2004Cited by: 23

    There is increasing recognition of the importance of social and cultural differences in shaping the diversity of the ageing experience in contemporary Britain. Various social and cultural factors, such as those associated with class, ethnicity, gender and disability, influence people's living circumstances and sources of support in later life. While they have been the subject of considerable speculation, ageing in a non-heterosexual context remai…
