Aflatoxin exposure and mortality in acutely ill children
BACKGROUND: Chronic exposure to aflatoxins is associated with liver cancer, impaired child growth, and compromised immune function. The Childhood Acute Illness and Nutrition (CHAIN) Network cohort was established to identify risk factors for mortality in acutely ill children admitted to nine hospitals in four African and two South Asian countries. We examined the role of aflatoxin exposure in inpatient and post-discharge mortality. METHODS: In a …
A Cross‐Sectional Association Between Serum Aflatoxin and Micronutrient Status Among Children Aged 6–24 Months in Rural Tanzania
Micronutrient deficiencies are a significant public health problem, particularly affecting children under five, caused by inadequate intake of micronutrient-rich foods or environmental factors like aflatoxin exposure. Three hundred sixty-nine children aged 6-24 months from Tanzania's Babati and Hanang districts participated in this study. Serum aflatoxin albumin adduct (AF-alb) levels were assessed as measures of aflatoxin exposure. Haemoglobin l…
Prevalence and Factors Associated with Anaemia and Undernutrition Among Children Aged 6–24 Months in Rural Tanzania
The observed association between age and anaemia, as well as undernutrition, suggest that age may be an essential factor when designing nutrition-related programs in similar rural settings
The home food environment for children in Northern China
The importance of the home food environment to children's dietary health is increasingly being recognised. There is limited research, however, on its key components for children in China. This study aimed to explore the perspectives and perceptions of parents and their children, on the home food environment in Northern China. Children (6-11 years) and their parents were recruited in Beijing and Dongying (Shandong Province). Interviews were conduc…
Overnutrition is a risk factor for iron, but not for zinc or vitamin A deficiency in children and young people
Systematic review of the role of social inclusion within sustainable urban developments
Rapid urbanisation presents multiple opportunities, but also poses challenges for equitable distribution of gains from socio-economic developments. This systematic review explored the role of social inclusion within the urban sustainability agenda.Sustainable urban developments were conceptualised as comprising environmental, spatial, social and economic perspectives; and social inclusion as entailing access to core services (healthcare) and reso…
Contamination of Foods from Cameroon with Residues of 20 Halogenated Pesticides, and Health Risk of Adult Human Dietary Exposure
(1) Background: Halogenated pesticides are abundantly used in Cameroon, but there is no information on the health risk of consumers from exposure to their residues in foods. (2) Methods: Residues of 20 halogenated pesticides were determined in 11 agricultural products collected in the 3 largest cities of Cameroon using QuEChERS extraction and gas chromatography with electron capture detector (GC-ECD), and health risk from dietary exposure was ass…
Biomonitoring Study of Deoxynivalenol Exposure in Chinese Inhabitants
Objective : To investigate the levels of a deoxynivalenol (DON) biomarker in the urine of subjects living in two China provinces with different geographic locations and dietary patterns, and estimate their dietary DON exposures and health risks. Methods : First morning urine samples were collected on three consecutive days from 599 healthy subjects-301 from Henan province and 298 from Sichuan province-to analyze the total DON concentrations (tDON…
Impaired growth in rural Gambian infants exposed to aflatoxin
This study found a small but significant effect of aflatoxin exposure on the growth of Gambian infants. This relationship is not apparently explained by aflatoxin induced changes in the IGF-axis
