The first cases of human Zn deficiency were described in the 1960s Middle East. Nevertheless, it was not until 2002 that included as a major risk factor global burden disease, and only 2004 did WHO/UNICEF include supplements treatment acute diarrhoea. Despite this recognition is still UN micronutrient priority list, an omission will continue to hinder efforts reduce child maternal mortality, combat HIV/AIDS, malaria other diseases achieve Millennium Development Goals for improved nutrition...
Dietary micronutrient deficiencies ( MNDs ) are widespread, yet their prevalence can be difficult to assess. Here, we estimate MND risks due inadequate intakes for seven minerals in Africa using food supply and composition data, consider the potential of food‐based agricultural interventions. Food Balance Sheets FBSs 46 countries were integrated with data per capita calcium (Ca), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), iodine (I), magnesium (Mg), selenium (Se) zinc (Zn), also phytate. Deficiency quantified...
Selenium (Se) is an essential human micronutrient with critical roles in immune functioning and antioxidant defence. Estimates of dietary Se intakes status are scarce for Africa although crop surveys indicate deficiency probably widespread Malawi. Here we show that likely endemic Malawi based on the adults consuming food from contrasting soil types. These data consistent balance sheets composition tables revealing >80% population at risk inadequacy. Risk inadequacy >60% seven other countries...
In 2002, the World Health Organization recommended that age for starting complementary feeding should be changed from 4 to 6 months of months. Although this change in has generated substantial debate, surprisingly little attention been paid whether advice on how introduce foods also changed. It proposed by most infants will have developed sufficient motor skills able feed themselves rather than needing spoon-fed an adult. This potential predispose better growth fostering energy...
Breast milk is the sole source of nutrition for exclusively breastfed infants in first 6 mo life, yet few studies have measured micronutrient concentrations breast light maternal diet and subsequent infant intakes. We evaluated adequacy intakes Indonesian by measuring volume assessed their relationship with concentrations. Mother–infant (2–5.3 mo) dyads (n = 113) were recruited this cross-sectional study. Volume breast-milk intake via deuterium dose-to-mother technique over 14 d analyzed...
