Public policies addressing unhealthy diets in the South-East Asia region: Identifying and countering the arguments that undermine policy implementation
In South-East Asia, government implementation of policies recommended for addressing unhealthy diets has generally been slow and fragmented, largely due to food industry opposition and a lack of effective cross-sectoral policy action. To help government policy-makers and other interest-holders address these issues, this study aimed to identify key arguments that undermine implementation of policies for addressing unhealthy diets in the region, an…
Reducing childhood malnutrition in Bangladesh: The importance of addressing socio-economic inequalities
Objective: To obtain projections of the prevalence of childhood malnutrition indicators up to 2030 and to analyse the changes of wealth-based inequality in malnutrition indicators and the degree of contribution of socio-economic determinants to the inequities in malnutrition indicators in Bangladesh. Additionally, to identify the risk factors of childhood malnutrition. Design: Cross-sectional study. A Bayesian linear regression model was used to …
Body composition in urban South Asian women; development of a bioelectrical impedance analysis prediction equation
Direct use of TBW by instrument and existing equations are less suitable for this population. The new TBW equation is suitable for body composition assessment in urban South Asian women
Body fat assessment in Sri Lankan adolescent girls; development of a simple field tool
Existing SFT prediction-equations are unsuitable for predicting %FM in this population. The new equation utilizing one peripheral and one truncal skin-fold, is appropriate for prediction of %FM in this population and may be applicable to other South Asian/Asian-Indian adolescents following validation
