In this article we assessed the present policies, legislation and institutional capabilities to ascertain whether they could assure the right to adequate food during disaster situations in Uganda. …
Iodine-induced goitre and high prevalence of anaemia among Saharawi refugee women
Objective The main objective was to assess iodine status (thyroid volume (Tvol) and urinary iodine concentration (UIC)) and their determinants in Saharawi refugee women. Design A cross-sectional survey was performed during January–February 2007. Tvol was measured by ultrasound and iodine concentration was analysed in spot urine samples and in household drinking water. Anthropometry and Hb concentration were measured and background variables were …

To address these issues, in 2001 the UN System Standing Committee on Nutrition (SCN) established a Working Group on Capacity Development under the joint coordination of the United Nations University (UNU) and the International Union of Nutritional Sci…
Nutrition and evolution
biochemistry. I suggest this requires development of alternative approaches also within the biological dimension. One way of framing these alternatives is to engage with food primarily at the organic or wholefood level, and to subordinate and recognise the inherent limitations of the chemical and genetic levels This implies the need not only to eat wholefoods, but also to think wholefoods
Women's iodine status and its determinants in an iodine-deficient area in the Kayes region, Mali
Objective To assess iodine status and its determinants in women of childbearing age in a rural area in the Kayes region, Mali, West Africa. Design Cross-sectional study where women's iodine status was indicated by urinary iodine concentration (UIC) and level of goitre based on palpation. Salt iodine was assessed semi-quantitatively at household level. Individual characteristics were collected using questionnaires. Setting Fifteen villages in a ru…
Validation of the second version of a quantitative food-frequency questionnaire for use in Western Mali
Objective: To assess the relative validity of the second version of a quantitative food-frequency questionnaire (QFFQ), designed to measure the habitual food and nutrient intake in one season in rural populations in Western Mali, West Africa. Design: The dietary intake during the previous week was assessed with the 164-item QFFQ administered by interview. This was compared with the intake from a 2-day weighed record (WR) with weighed recipes. Set…

Food Aid and Human Security
This book on Food Aid and Human Security (edited by Edward Clay and Olav Stokke) shows that ‘modem’ food aid has strong political, agricultural, economic and trade features, leaving human security as only one purpose. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the present situation and possible future challenges and the role of food aid. Furthermore, it presents the chain of events in the last 15–20 years, pointing to the transformation of the inter…
Food variety, socioeconomic status and nutritional status in urban and rural areas in Koutiala (Mali)

Higher nutrition training in Europe
A survey of higher training in nutrition in Europe was conducted in 1989. Replies came from 57 institutions in 22 of the 31 WHO member countries, reporting in 69 courses. Only 33 of the reported courses awarded an MSc, PhD or diploma, in addition ten awarded BSc, five trained dietitians or clinical nutritionists and two courses gave the title of bio-engineer and food technologist. Thus 69% of the courses reported trained nutritionists for a diplo…
Food indices in Sri Lanka, adapted to local situations
This paper compares the food component of the Colombo Consumer Price Index (CCFPI), which is the offical cost of living index in Sri Lanka, with an index made to suit the food situation in a rural area. This index is based on information from a dietary survey and registrations of food prices at four local markets in the Hambantota District, Sri Lanka, during the period March 1982‐December 1984. It was found that the local food index revealed much…
Heaty and cooling foods in relation to food habits in a Southern Sri Lanka community
According to Ayurveda, the traditional medical system observed in Sri Lanka, adherence to the principles of the hot‐cold system of food classification is important in both prevention and cure of disease. This report discusses the impact of the hot‐cold system on food behaviour in a rural community in southern Sri Lanka. In this community the hot‐cold system did not appear to have a large impact on food behaviour of healthy adults. However, during…
