  • Using Mid-Upper Arm Circumference z-score (Muacz) tapes for community-based assessment and monitoring of nutrition risks among young children

    Open AccessDominic Bassah, Emilie E McClintic et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2026

    In 2023, Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) and the Ministry of Health (MOH) staff were trained to use the novel MUAC z-score (MUACz) tape for household anthropometric measurements in southwestern Kenya as part of a randomized controlled trial titled ALIMUS-We are Feeding! In this qualitative study, we aimed to understand the experiences and lessons learned from using the MUACz tape for screening and monitoring among health professionals. In this…

  • Reduced rank regression-derived dietary patterns related to climate-sensitive micronutrients and their associations with child undernutrition among young children in rural Kenya

    Open AccessGrace Wothaya Kihagi, Adi Lukas Kurniawan et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2026

    Undernutrition among children remains a global public health challenge in sub-Saharan Africa. This study examined the associations of dietary patterns related to climate-sensitive micronutrients with undernutrition among children aged 6–23 months in Siaya County, Kenya. We used cross-sectional baseline data of 626 mother-child pairs from a cluster-randomized controlled trial on nutrition counselling and home gardening. Dietary patterns and food i…

  • Widening the lens of population-based health research to climate change impacts and adaptation

    Open AccessSandra Barteit, Ali Sié et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Background: Climate change significantly impacts health in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs), exacerbating vulnerabilities. Comprehensive data for evidence-based research and decision-making is crucial but scarce. Health and Demographic Surveillance Sites (HDSSs) in Africa and Asia provide a robust infrastructure with longitudinal population cohort data, yet they lack climate-health specific data. Acquiring this information is essential for…

  • Sustainable home gardens in Western Kenya

    Open AccessLea‐Sophie Hansen, Grace Wothaya Kihagi et al.ARTICLEJournal of Rural Studies2023Citada por: 1Referências: 4

    Populations living in rural sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) increasingly face negative climate change impacts on their nutrition and health status. For smallholder farming families, home gardens can serve as an adaptation strategy, by offsetting climate change-related harvest losses and diversifying households' diets. The present study aimed to identify perceptions and experiences among rural caregivers of children under five years and local stakeholder…

  • First cases of Sars-CoV-2 infection and secondary transmission in Kisumu, Kenya

    We investigated the first 152 laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 cases (125 primary and 27 secondary) and their 248 close contacts in Kisumu County, Kenya. Conducted June 10–October 8, 2020, this study included interviews and sample collection at enrolment and 14–21 days later. Median age was 35 years (IQR 28–44); 69.0% reported COVID-19 related symptoms, most commonly cough (60.0%), headache (55.2%), fever (53.3%) and loss of taste or smell (43.8%)…
