Dietary Diversity and Associated Factors Among Pregnant Women in Central South Africa
Poor dietary diversity (DD) in pregnancy can lead to nutritional deficiencies, resulting in poor maternal and neonatal outcomes. This cross-sectional study assessed the DD of 681 pregnant women in a tertiary hospital in South Africa. DD, household food insecurity and sociodemographic status were assessed using the MDD-W indicator, HFIAS and a questionnaire. 99.4% of participants consumed starchy staples, while only 7.9%, 10.6% and 13.5% consumed …
Nutritional status and household food security of pregnant women
Objective: To describe the nutritional intake and status of pregnant women in Bloemfontein and compare across different household food security categories. Design: Cross-sectional. Setting: Pelonomi Tertiary Hospital. Participants: 427 pregnant women were interviewed using a standard questionnaire and a quantitative FFQ to collect socio-demographic, HIV status, household food security, supplement and dietary intake data. Weight and height were me…
Micronutrient supplementation practices in relation to the World Health Organisation 2013 guidelines on management of severe acute malnutrition
In 2013, the World Health Organisation (WHO) updated the recommendations for micronutrient deficiency correction in hospitalised under-5 children with complicated severe acute malnutrition (SAM). This study aimed to describe the micronutrient deficiency correction practices in relation to WHO 2013 recommendations. Data from medical records of under-5 children admitted for SAM management at two hospitals in South Africa and three tertiary hospital…
Treatment outcomes and determinants of mortality in children aged 0-59 months diagnosed with complicated severe acute malnutrition in two referral hospitals in Ghana
Background: Complicated severe acute malnutrition (SAM) poses an enormous threat to the survival of children. However, the relationship between admission characteristics and recovery, weight gain and the risk of mortality in children with complicated SAM is limited in Ghana, especially those <6 months old. This study aimed at investigating the treatment outcomes and determinants of mortality in children aged 0–59 months with complicated SAM. Meth…
Determinants of undernutrition prevalence in children aged 0–59 months in sub-Saharan Africa between 2000 and 2015. A report from the World Bank database
Objective To determine undernutrition prevalence in 0–59-month-old children and its determinants during the period 2000–2015 in sub-Saharan Africa. Design Ecological study of time series prevalence of undernutrition in sub-Saharan Africa assessed from 2000 to 2015. Setting Underweight and stunting prevalence from the World Bank database (2000–2015) were analysed. Mixed models were used to estimate prevalence of underweight and stunting. Country-s…
Nutritional status as a central determinant of child mortality in sub‐Saharan Africa
Child mortality is a major public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa and is influenced by nutritional status. A conceptual framework was proposed to explain factors related to undernutrition. Previously proposed conceptual frameworks for undernutrition do not consider child mortality and describe factors related to undernutrition from a qualitative viewpoint only. A structural equation modelling approach was applied to the data from World Bank …
