    Adolescent pregnancy remains a significant concern in Malawi, associated with adverse outcomes for both mothers and their infants.

    The coexistence of undernutrition and/or anemia in South and Southeast Asia remains a public health problem.

It is necessary to consider multi-faceted nutritional interventions for children with CFM in this region, taking into account the impact of children's gender, age, and maternal education, to further reduce child CFM

    Open AccessHaoran Sun, Hiromi Kawasaki et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    Our study presents a new dynamic mathematical model for estimating infectious HIV cases among MSM in Taiwan. By accounting for the heterogeneity of infectious HIV/AIDS within the MSM population, we effectively estimated the number of infections during early surveillance years and implement concentrated measures, thereby reducing infectious HIV/AIDS cases, which contributes to the overall reduction in HIV/AIDS cases. With these estimations, identi…

We investigated economic inequalities in DBM at the household level, expressed as a stunted child with a mother with overweight/obesity, and the moderating role of dietary d…

Most women sought life-saving technological support in case of complications. They also valued having family present to provide care and affe…
