Purpose: The PRAYAS Individual Patient Data Meta-analysis (IPD-MA) database aims to estimate the prevalence of anemia among children under 18 years, non-pregnant and non-lactating (NPNL) women, and pregnant women (by trimester), with further stratification by age group, year, and region of India. Beyond prevalence, it seeks to address the etiological contribution of iron and other erythropoietic micronutrient deficiencies and to evaluate the effe…
Dietary diversity insufficiently explains differences in prevalence of anaemia in pregnancy across regions in Nigeria
The prevalence of anaemia in pregnancy differs across regions worldwide. Previous studies have reported associations between diet and anaemia. Dietary intake may be affected by regional factors like culture, food production and availability. However, in Nigeria, the association between dietary diversity and region in the context of anaemia prevalence among pregnant women is unclear. This study compared the prevalence of anaemia in pregnancy acros…
Anaemia at 36 weeks of pregnancy
Anaemia as a critical health condition greatly upsurges the risk of pregnancy complications leading to preventable maternal mortalities and long-term morbidities. Therefore, identifying anaemia-associated factors is vital for planning relevant interventions in resource-constrained regions in Sahelian Africa. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and determinants of anaemia at 36 weeks of pregnancy among antenatal women in a peri-urban municip…
Prevalence and predictors of anemia among six-week-old infants in Kwale County, Kenya
Anemia is a significant public health problem among children worldwide. The etiology of anemia is multifactorial but iron deficiency (ID) is the most common cause of anemia in low- and middle-income countries. ID and anemia in infancy can impair growth and cognitive development. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and predictors of anemia among six-week-old infants in Kwale County, Kenya. This cross-sectional study included 424 …
Prevalence and determinants of anemia due to micronutrient deficiencies among children aged 12–59 months in India–Evidence from Comprehensive National Nutrition Survey, 2016–18
The present study aimed to estimate the prevalence of anemia, and anemia with micronutrient deficiencies (iron/ vitamin B12/ folic acid) and their determinants among children aged 12–59 months in India. Comprehensive National Nutritional Survey (2016–2018) is Asia’s largest nutrition survey conducted among 0–19 years aged children in India. We used generalised linear model (modified Poisson) with adjusted prevalence ratio (aPR) to assess the soci…
Transdermal delivery of micronutrients through fortified body oil and cosmetics
The initial challenge was to address micronutrient deficiency in early childhood, an important determinant of poor neurocognitive development(1,2). The innovation selected for transdermal delivery of micronutrients has been scaled up from laboratory-level into clinical trials. It has now received a buy-in from the industry as well as from public health programs and next challenge is to ensure a continuous and sustainable scaling pathway.Although …
Iron status in early infancy is associated with trajectories of cognitive development up to pre-school age in rural Gambia
Introduction Iron deficiency is among the leading risk factors for poor cognitive development. However, interventions targeting iron deficiency have had mixed results on cognitive outcomes. This may be due to previous interventions focusing on the correction of iron deficiency anaemia in late infancy and early childhood, at which point long lasting neural impacts may already be established. We hypothesise that the relationship between iron status…
Development and Implementation of Liposomal Encapsulated Micronutrient Fortified Body Oil Intervention for Infant Massage
Indian communities have the ancient cultural practice of gentle oil massage for infants which has been shown to play a beneficial role in neuro-motor development. The concept of incorporating nanosized liposomes of micronutrients (i.e., iron, folate, vitamin B12, and vitamin D) in the body oil leverages this practice for transdermal supplementation of essential micro-nutrients. This paper describes the experience of developing an intervention in …
Nasopharyngeal pneumococcal carriage in South Asian infants
BACKGROUND: Nasopharyngeal pneumococcal carriage (NPC) is a prerequisite for invasive pneumococcal disease and reduced carriage of vaccine serotypes is a marker for the protection offered by the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV). The present study reports NPC during the first year of life in a vaccinated (with PCV10) cohort in Bangladesh and an unvaccinated cohort in India. METHODS: A total of 450 and 459 infants were recruited from India and …
Ethical considerations in the use of GPS-based movement tracking in health research – lessons from a care-seeking study in rural west India
Use of technology for movement tracking for health research in low and middle income countries invokes ethical challenges especially those related to privacy, confidentiality and risk of spatial re-identification
