  • The Hidden Hunger among Nepalese Non-Pregnant Women Aged 15–49 Years

    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…

  • Individual, household and national factors associated with iron, vitamin A and zinc deficiencies among children aged 6–59 months in Nepal

    Open AccessStanley Chitekwe, Kedar Raj Parajuli et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2021

    Iron, vitamin A and zinc deficiencies are the top three micronutrients contributing to disability-adjusted life years globally. The study assessed the factors associated with iron, vitamin A, and Zinc deficiencies among Nepalese children (n = 1709) aged 6-59 months using data from the 2016 Nepal National Micronutrient Status Survey. The following cut-off points were applied: iron deficiency [ferritin 8.3 mg/L], vitamin A deficiency (retinol-bindi…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • To see, hear, and live

    Open AccessAndrew Thorne‐lyman, Kedar Raj Parajuli et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2020

    Nepal has a rich history of vitamin A research and a national, biannual preschool vitamin A supplementation (VAS) programme that has sustained high coverage for 25 years despite many challenges, including conflict. Key elements of programme success have included (a) evidence of a 26-30% reduction in child mortality from two, in-country randomized trials; (b) strong political and donor support; (c) positioning local female community health volunte…

  • Predictors of micronutrient powder ( MNP ) knowledge, coverage, and consumption during the scale‐up of an integrated infant and young child feeding ( Iycf‐MNP ) programme in N epal

    Open AccessLindsey M Locks, Pradiumna Dahal et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2019

    Large-scale programmes using micronutrient powders (MNPs) may not achieve maximum impact due to limited/inappropriate MNP coverage, consumption, and use. We identify predictors of MNP coverage, maternal knowledge of appropriate use, and child MNP consumption in Nepal. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2,578 mother-child pairs representative of children 6-23 months in two districts that were part of the post-pilot, scale-up of an integrate…

  • Changes in growth, anaemia, and iron deficiency among children aged 6–23 months in two districts in Nepal that were part of the post‐pilot scale‐up of an integrated infant and young child feeding and …

    Open AccessLindsey M Locks, Pradiumna Dahal et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2018

    There is limited research on integrated infant and young child feeding (IYCF) and micronutrient powders (MNPs) programmes operating at scale, despite widespread implementation. This study uses cross-sectional baseline (n = 2,542) and endline (n = 2,578) surveys representative of children 6-23 months in two districts in Nepal that were part of a post-pilot scale-up of a IYCF-MNP programme. Multivariable log-binomial regression models were used to …
