A culture-sensitive semi-quantitative FFQ for use among the adult population in Nairobi, Kenya
Objective: To develop a semi-quantitative FFQ and to evaluate its validity and reproducibility for the assessment of total dietary intake of Kenyan urban adult population, given its non-existence in Kenya. Design: The current study adopted a cross-sectional design. A culture-sensitive semi-quantitative FFQ was developed and its validity was tested relative to three non-consecutive 24-h recalls (24hR). Reproducibility was tested by the test–retest…
Social networks and household food consumption smoothing in the presence of idiosyncratic shocks
Idiosyncratic shocks are among the major shocks affecting smallholder households. Social networks have been widely used by households as an informal strategy to smooth consumption. This article uses panel data from 719 smallholder farmers in Kenya and a fixed effects panel data regression model to evaluate the effect of social networks on food consumption smoothing in the presence of health shocks. Fixed effects estimates show that financial cred…
Antioxidant and Type 2 Diabetes Related Functional Properties of Phytic Acid Extract from Kenyan Local Food Ingredients
Emerging scientific evidences reveal that phytic acid has several positive effects on human health. The antioxidant and type 2 diabetes related enzyme inhibition properties of phytic acid extract prepared from raw and traditionally processed local grains and vegetables collected from Kenya were evaluated. Phytic acid content of raw grains and vegetables ranged between 2.81-3.01 and 0.29-3.23 g/100 g DM, respectively. The phytic acid extract from …
