  • Dietary patterns are associated with child, maternal and household-level characteristics and overweight/obesity among young Samoan children

    Open AccessCourtney C Choy, Dongqing Wang et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2018

    Objective Among young Samoan children, diet may not be optimal: in 2015, 16·1 % of 24–59-month-olds were overweight/obese, 20·3 % stunted and 34·1 % anaemic. The present study aimed to identify dietary patterns among 24–59-month-old Samoan children and evaluate their association with: (i) child, maternal and household characteristics; and (ii) nutritional status indicators (stunting, overweight/obesity, anaemia). Design A community-based, cross-s…

  • Child, maternal and household-level correlates of nutritional status

    Open AccessCourtney C Choy, Mahesh M Desai et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2017

    Objective Young children are particularly vulnerable to malnutrition as nutrition transition progresses. The present study aimed to document the prevalence, coexistence and correlates of nutritional status (stunting, overweight/obesity and anaemia) in Samoan children aged 24–59 months. Design A cross-sectional community-based survey. Height and weight were used to determine prevalence of stunting (height-for-age Z -score Z -score >+2) based on WH…
