Conceptualizing multi-level determinants of infant and young child nutrition in the Republic of Marshall Islands–a socio-ecological perspective

The Republic of Marshall Islands (RMI) is no exception: maternal and child nutrition indicators have not improved in decades. A study of the contemporary factors shaping the RMI nutrition situ…
High double burden of child stunting and maternal overweight in the Republic of the Marshall Islands
Many low- and middle-income countries are faced with a double burden of malnutrition characterized by a stagnating burden of undernutrition and an increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity often observed both at population and household levels.

Vitamin A intake and infection are associated with plasma retinol among pre-school children in rural Zambia
Objective To determine the prevalence of vitamin A deficiency, infection and adequacy of vitamin A intakes among Zambian children, and the contribution of dietary vitamin A and infection to vitamin A status. Design A cross-sectional survey of vitamin A intakes by the 24 h recall method, vitamin A status by plasma retinol and the modified relative dose-response test, and infection by acute-phase proteins. Setting Rural communities in Central and E…
