Trials of improved practices to explore caregivers’ practices for childhood nutrition and acceptance of novel interventions for moderately wasted children in a Dhaka slum
Objective: This study used the trials of improved practices (TIPs) approach to explore complementary feeding practices among caregivers of children under two and assess the acceptance of new nutritional supplements by providing microbiota-directed supplementary food (MDSF), ready-to-use supplementary food (RUSF) and locally available food (LAF) among moderately malnourished children. Design: The study was conducted between May and October 2022 in…
Prevalence and factors associated with undernutrition and overnutrition among ever-married adolescent girls in Bangladesh
Nutritional impairment during adolescence may result in adverse physical and reproductive health outcomes. We investigated the prevalence and determined the factors associated with underweight and overweight/obesity among ever-married adolescent girls in Bangladesh. We used Bangladesh Demographic and Health Surveys data conducted in 2004, 2007, 2011, 2014, and 2017. A total of 7040 ever-married adolescent girls aged 15–19 years were included in t…
Effect of Gut Microbiota-Directed Complementary Food Supplementation on Fecal and Plasma Biomarkers of Gut Health and Environmental Enteric Dysfunction in Slum-Dwelling Children with Moderate Acute Ma…
Dietary supplementation with a gut microbiota-directed complementary food (MDCF-2) significantly improved weight gain and repaired gut microbiota, as reported in a recent randomized controlled trial on Bangladeshi children with moderate acute malnutrition (MAM). Environmental enteric dysfunction (EED) is a small bowel disorder, and recent evidence shows that it is linked to growth failure in children. Therefore, we intended to investigate whether…
Proof-of-concept study of the efficacy of a microbiota-directed complementary food formulation (MDCF) for treating moderate acute malnutrition
The primary MAM and post-SAM MAM trials are registered in Clintrials.gov (NCT04015999 and NCT04015986, registered on July 11, 2019, retrospectively registered)
Factors affecting low coverage of the vitamin A supplementation program among young children admitted in an urban diarrheal treatment facility in Bangladesh
BACKGROUND: Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is one of the most prevalent micronutrient deficiencies in the world. About 2% of all deaths among children under five years of age (U-5) are attributable to VAD. Currently evidence-based knowledge is grossly lacking about the factors associated with low coverage of VAS. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to determine the factors affecting low coverage of the vitamin A supplementation program among the young childre…
