Child stunting starts in utero
Childhood stunting remains a public health burden worldwide. Although many studies have examined early life and in-utero risk factors; most have been observational and have used analytic techniques that make inferences limited to population means, thereby obscuring important within-group variations. This study addressed that important gap. Using data from a birth cohort of Ugandan infants (n = 4528), we applied group-based trajectory modelling to…
Prenatal dietary diversity may influence underweight in infants in a Ugandan birth‐cohort
Growth faltering in early childhood is prevalent in many low resource countries. Poor maternal dietary diversity during pregnancy has been linked with increased risk of fetal growth failure and adverse birth outcomes but may also influence subsequent infant growth. Our aim is to assess the role of prenatal maternal dietary diversity in infant growth in rural Uganda. Data from 3291 women and infant pairs enrolled in a birth cohort from 2014 to 201…
Is Uganda’s Progressive Refugee Policy Equalizing the Food Security of National and Refugee Households
Uganda is the largest refugee hosting country in Africa and third in the world. The country operates a progressive refugee integration and self-reliance policy whereby refugees are allowed access to land and other productive resources. The effectiveness of this unique approach to refugee integration has not been empirically investigated. We estimate a multinomial logistic regression model to investigate whether the food security of refugee househ…
