Non-Dietary Factors Associated with Glycemic Status among Adults Diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Malawi
We assessed glycemic status and associations with socio-demographic, biomedical, anthropometric, and physical activity (PA) levels among adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (n = 428; urban n = 288; semi-urban n = 140) using a cross-sectional study. Multivariate linear regression was used to determine factors associated with glycosylated hemoglobin (A1C) . A1C was clinically elevated ≥8% for 60.3% of the participants. Overall, age and PA l…
Reduced Morbidity Motivated Adoption of Infant and Young Child Feeding Practices after Nutrition Education Intervention in Rural Malawi
This study assessed caregivers' knowledge and practices and factors that influence the adoption of improved infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices after nutrition education in Kasungu and Mzimba districts among 198 caregivers. Mixed-methods convergent-parallel design, including knowledge tests, focus group discussions, and in-depth interviews in the intervention areas, was used to collect quantitative and qualitative data. Data were anal…
The impact of an integrated community-based micronutrient and health programme on anaemia in non-pregnant Malawian women
Objective To assess the impact of an integrated community-based micronutrient and health (MICAH) programme on anaemia (Hb Design Prospective study of two large-scale cross-sectional surveys conducted in 2000 and 2004 as part of programme evaluation in MICAH and Comparison areas. Setting Rural areas across Malawi. The MICAH programme implemented a comprehensive package of interventions to reduce anaemia, based on a broad range on direct and indire…
The impact of an integrated community-based micronutrient and health programme on stunting in Malawian preschool children
Objective To assess the impact of the 1996–2005 integrated community-based micronutrient and health (MICAH) programme on linear growth retardation (stunting) in Malawian preschool children living in rural areas. Design Prospective study of three large-scale cross-sectional surveys conducted in 1996, 2000 and 2004 in MICAH and Comparison populations. Setting Rural areas in Malawi.
