  • Estimated timing of the first menstrual period and dietary and nutritional correlates of menarche among urban school‐going adolescents in four sub‐Saharan African sites

    Open AccessJanaína Calu Costa, Anne Marie Darling et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2024

    Characterizing the timing of menarche and the factors that are associated with it is important for understanding a population's reproductive health needs and long-term health trajectories. We estimated the age at the menstrual onset among adolescent girls and the association between dietary and nutritional factors and menarche in four sub-Saharan African urban sites. We used cross-sectional school-based data from 2307 female adolescents aged 10-1…

  • Dietary intake and quality for young adolescents in sub‐Saharan Africa

    Open AccessIsabel Madzorera, Sabri Bromage et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2023

    Adolescents face the risk of the triple burden of malnutrition-the co-existence of micronutrient deficiencies, underweight and overweight and obesity and related noncommunicable diseases. Poor-quality diets are a modifiable risk factor for all forms of malnutrition in adolescents. However, there is limited knowledge about diet quality for African adolescents. We analyzed data from 4609 school-going adolescents aged 10-15 years in Burkina Faso, Et…

However, research on adolescents' health and well-being in SSA is limited. The ARISE (African Research, Implementation Science and Education) Network's Adolescent Health and Nutrition Stu…

    Digital technologies provide unprecedented opportunities for health and nutrition interventions among adolescents. The use of digital media and devices among young adolescents across diverse settings in sub-Saharan Africa is unclear. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the use of digital media and devices and the socioeconomic determinants of use among young adolescents in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, South Africa, Sudan and Tanzania. The study…

  • Burden and determinants of anaemia among in‐school young adolescents in Ethiopia, Sudan and Tanzania

    Open AccessUttara Partap, Amare Worku Tadesse et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2023

    Anaemia among adolescents is a global health problem. However, evidence regarding its burden and risk factors, particularly for younger adolescents and in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), remains scarce. We aimed to assess the prevalence and potential determinants of anaemia among urban and semi-urban in-school young adolescents in Ethiopia, Sudan and Tanzania. We conducted a school-based survey among 3558 adolescents aged 10-14 years. A capillary blood…
