    Open AccessSara E Wuehler, Sara Wuehler et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2011

    Progress towards reducing mortality and malnutrition among children <5 years of age has been less than needed to achieve related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Therefore, several international agencies joined to ‘Reposition children's right to adequate nutrition in the Sahel’, starting with an analysis of current activities related to infant and young child nutrition (IYCN). The main objectives of the situational analysis are to compile, an…

  • Use of national food balance data to estimate the adequacy of zinc in national food supplies

    Open AccessSara E Wuehler, Sara Wuehler et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2005

    Objectives Adequate zinc nutriture is critically important for human health, but the development of programmes to control zinc deficiency is limited by the lack of reliable information on population zinc status. The present analyses were conducted to: (1) estimate the absorbable zinc content of national food supplies; (2) compare this information with theoretical population requirements for zinc; and (3) use these results to predict national risk…
