Challenges in US food banks and opportunities for a sustainable food system
Non-Technical Summary Food banks in the United States are part of the robust food system that addresses hunger among the population. A comprehensive description of the challenges faced by food banks in the United States is crucial to understanding and responding to the diverse needs. A careful assessment of the literature highlights opportunities not only to improve the efficiency of services, but also to identify strategies and strengthen partne…
Global incidence, prevalence, years lived with disability (YLDs), disability-adjusted life-years (Dalys), and healthy life expectancy (Hale) for 371 diseases and injuries in 204 countries and territor…
BACKGROUND: Detailed, comprehensive, and timely reporting on population health by underlying causes of disability and premature death is crucial to understanding and responding to complex patterns of disease and injury burden over time and across age groups, sexes, and locations. The availability of disease burden estimates can promote evidence-based interventions that enable public health researchers, policy makers, and other professionals to im…
Auditing causality of the multiple-burden of malnutrition in India and South Africa
Developing economies are shaped by the current predicament of urbanisation and its impact on health is inevitable. In the post-pandemic times, India and South Africa witnessed a GDP growth rate of about 1·7 % and 1·9 %, respectively, while the developed economies like Europe and the USA have bounced back with more than 2 % GDP. The similarities and differences between India and South Africa provide potential candidates to study nutrition transiti…
Loss of Livelihood, Wages, and Employment During the Covid-19 Pandemic in Selected Districts of Chhattisgarh in India, and Its Impact on Food Insecurity and Hunger
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the existing food insecurity in developing nations. The cumulative effect of restricted mobility to curtail the spread of the infection, loss of livelihood and income, worst affected the economically weaker sections. Our work examined the availability, accessibility, and affordability of food during the first wave of the pandemic using the FAO, HFIAS questionnaire, in a random sample ( N = 401) from Kanker an…
Prevalence and Determinants of Early Initiation (EI), Exclusive Breastfeeding (EBF), and Prelacteal Feeding among Children Aged 0-24 Months in Slums of Pune City, in Maharashtra
Infant and young child feeding practices remain a public health challenge in India. We determined the socio-demographic risk factors for early initiation, exclusive breastfeeding and prelacteal feeding in the urban slums of Pune city.A cross sectional survey of mother ( N =1443) children (< 2 years) dyads was performed. Socio-demographic, maternal and child characteristics were recorded. Breastfeeding practices were assessed using WHO indicators.…
Prevalence and Risk Factors of Undernutrition among Children Less than 2 Years in Urban Slums of Pune, Maharashtra, India
Undernutrition and its risk factors among children aged 0-23 months in urban slums of Pune was studied. Maternal and child characteristics, household food security and anthropometric measurements of 400 children were recorded. Results identified prevalence of stunting to be 34%, wasting 15.3% and underweight 21.8%. Odds of stunting was higher among children 7 to 12 months of age (AOR=7.064, 95% CI: 1.908-26.150). Odds of wasting was higher among …
