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…
Stakeholder Attitudes towards Donating and Utilizing Donated Human Breastmilk
The promotion and support of human milk banks (HMBs) can enhance exclusive breastfeeding rates. The success and sustainability of HMBs depend on the support from relevant healthcare workers and related communities. This study aimed to determine attitudes of key stakeholders, including mothers, healthcare workers and grandmothers, regarding the donation and receipt of human breastmilk. This study was conducted at a public hospital and clinics in t…
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 …
The use of predefined diet quality scores in the context of CVD risk during urbanization in the South African Prospective Urban and Rural Epidemiological (Pure) study
Objective Urbanization is generally associated with increased CVD risk and accompanying dietary changes. Little is known regarding the association between increased CVD risk and dietary changes using approaches such as diet quality. The relevance of predefined diet quality scores (DQS) in non-Western developing countries has not yet been established. Design The association between dietary intakes and CVD risk factors was investigated using two DQ…
Beliefs of South Africans regarding food and cardiovascular health
Objectives To investigate the beliefs of South African metropolitan adults regarding the importance of influencing cardiovascular health by eating certain food types, and to compare these beliefs between different race, living standards, age and gender groups. Design Randomised cross-sectional study. Trained fieldworkers administered questionnaires by conducting face-to-face interviews with consumers. Subjects Two thousand South Africans (16 year…
