    Open AccessKingsley E Agho, Stanley Chitekwe et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2024

    Micronutrient deficiencies remain a public health burden among non-pregnant women in developing countries, including Nepal. Hence, this study examined micronutrient deficiencies among non-pregnant Nepalese women aged 15-49 using the 2016 Nepal National Micronutrient Status Survey (NNMSS). Data for 2143 non-pregnant women was extracted from the 2016 NNMSS. The study analysed the levels of ferritin, soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR), red blood ce…

  • Factors associated with anaemia in a nationally representative sample of nonpregnant women of reproductive age in Nepal

    Open AccessNicole D Ford, Ram Padarth Bichha et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2020

    We used cross-sectional data from the 2016 Nepal National Micronutrient Status Survey to evaluate factors associated with anaemia among a nationally representative sample of nonpregnant women 15- 49 years (n = 1, 918). Haemoglobin, biomarkers of iron status and other micronutrients, infection, inflammation, and blood disorders were assessed from venous blood. Soil-transmitted helminth and Helicobacter pylori infections were assessed from stool. S…

  • Elucidating the sustained decline in under‐three child linear growth faltering in Nepal, 1996–2016

    Open AccessGiles T Hanley-Cook, Alemayehu Argaw et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2020

    Childhood linear growth faltering remains a major public health concern in Nepal. Nevertheless, over the past 20 years, Nepal sustained one of the most rapid reductions in the prevalence of stunting worldwide. First, our study analysed the trends in height-for-age z-score (HAZ), stunting prevalence, and available nutrition-sensitive and nutrition-specific determinants of linear growth faltering in under-three children across Nepal's Family Health…

  • Factors associated with anaemia among adolescent boys and girls 10–19 years old in Nepal

    Open AccessNicole D Ford, Ram Padarth Bichha et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2020

    We used data from the 2016 Nepal National Micronutrient Status Survey to evaluate factors associated with anaemia (World Health Organization cut-points using altitude- and smoking-adjusted haemoglobin [Hb]) among nationally representative samples of adolescents 10-19 years. Hb, biomarkers of micronutrients, infection and inflammation were assessed from venous blood. Sociodemographic and household characteristics, dietary diversity, pica and recen…

  • The Synergetic Effect of Cash Transfers for Families, Child Sensitive Social Protection Programs, and Capacity Building for Effective Social Protection on Children’s Nutritional Status in Nepal

    Open AccessA M N Renzaho, Stanley Chitekwe et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2017

    Targeted resource transfers for families, augmented with a child sensitive social protection program and capacity building for social protection can address effectively child malnutrition. To increase the intervention effectiveness on younger children, the child cash payment amount needs to be revisited and closely embedded into infant and young child feeding initiatives, but also adjusted to equate to 20% of household expenditure or more to maxi…
