  • Micronutrient deficiencies among preschool-aged children and women of reproductive age worldwide

    Open AccessG A Stevens, Ty Beal et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Global Health2022

    BACKGROUND: Micronutrient deficiencies compromise immune systems, hinder child growth and development, and affect human potential worldwide. Yet, to our knowledge, the only existing estimate of the global prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies is from over 30 years ago and is based only on the prevalence of anaemia. We aimed to estimate the global and regional prevalence of deficiency in at least one of three micronutrients among preschool-aged…

  • Gender differences in nutritional status and determinants among infants (6–11 m)

    Open AccessAregash Samuel, Saskia Osendarp et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    In Ethiopia, boys are more malnourished than girls. Exclusive breastfeeding and adequate dietary diversity of complementary feeding are important determinants of stunting in boys and girls. There are no clear gender interactions for the main determinants of stunting and wasting. These findings suggest that appropriate gender-sensitive guidance on optimum infant and young child feeding practices is needed

  • Trends and factors associated with the nutritional status of adolescent girls in Ghana

    Open AccessFusta Azupogo, Abdul-Razak Abizari et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2022

    Objective: We examined the trends over time and the factors associated with malnutrition among adolescent girls in Ghana. Design: Cross-sectional analysis from 3 nationwide Ghana Demographic and Health Surveys conducted in 2003 ( n 983), 2008 ( n 955) and 2014 ( n 857). We used Cox proportional hazard models with sample weighting to model the prevalence ratio (PR) of malnutrition. Setting: Countrywide, covering rural and urban areas in Ghana. Par…

  • Determinants of adherence to micronutrient powder use among young children in Ethiopia

    Open AccessAregash Samuel, Inge D Brouwer et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2020

    In Ethiopia, home fortification of complementary foods with micronutrient powders (MNPs) was introduced in 2015 as a new approach to improve micronutrient intakes. The objective of this study was to assess factors associated with intake adherence and drivers for correct MNP use over time to inform scale-up of MNP interventions. Mixed methods including questionnaires, interviews and focus group discussions were used. Participants, 1,185 children (…

  • Micronutrient powder supplements combined with nutrition education marginally improve growth amongst children aged 6–23 months in rural Burkina Faso

    Open AccessHermann Biénou Lanou, Saskia Osendarp et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2019

    Micronutrients powder (MNP) can prevent anaemia amongst children 6-23 months old. However, evidence of an effect on growth is limited and concerns about the safety of iron-containing MNP interventions limits their applicability. In a cluster randomized controlled intervention, we evaluated the effectiveness of a nutritional package including counselling and provision of MNP to improve the nutritional status of children aged 6-23 months and the ef…

  • Agro‐ecological zone and farm diversity are factors associated with haemoglobin and anaemia among rural school‐aged children and adolescents in Ghana

    Open AccessFusta Azupogo, Elisabetta Aurino et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2018

    Understanding contextual risk factors for haemoglobin (Hb) status and anaemia of rural school-aged children (SAC) and adolescents is critical in developing appropriate interventions to prevent anaemia. We analysed secondary data from the baseline of an impact evaluation of the Ghana School Feeding Programme to determine the severity of anaemia and contextual factors associated with anaemia and Hb status among rural SAC (6-9 years; n = 323) and ad…

  • Exploring barriers and enablers for scaling up a community‐based grain bank intervention for improved infant and young child feeding in Ethiopia

    Open AccessBinta Sako, Joanne N Leerlooijer et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2017

    Child malnutrition remains high in Ethiopia, and inadequate complementary feeding is a contributing factor. In this context, a community-based intervention was designed to provide locally made complementary food for children 6-23 months, using a bartering system, in four Ethiopian regions. After a pilot phase, the intervention was scaled up from 8 to 180 localities. We conducted a process evaluation to determine enablers and barriers for the scal…

  • Community‐based grain banks using local foods for improved infant and young child feeding in Ethiopia

    Open AccessMarion Roche, Marion L Roche et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2015

    The first thousand days of a child's life are critical for ensuring adequate nutrition to enable optimal health, development and growth. Inadequate infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices likely contribute to Ethiopia's concerning malnutrition situation. Development partners in four regions of Ethiopia implemented community production of complementary food with women's groups processing local grains and legumes at grain banks to improve a…

  • Setting priorities for zinc-related health research to reduce children’s disease burden worldwide

    Open AccessKendall H Brown, Kenneth H Brown et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2009

    Objective To make the best use of limited resources for supporting health-related research to reduce child mortality, it is necessary to apply a suitable method to rank competing research options. The Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative (CHNRI) developed a new methodology for setting health research priorities. To broaden experience with this priority-setting technique, we applied the method to rank possible research priorities concern…
