Dietary diversity, an important component of diet quality, is associated with increased probability adequate micronutrient intake. Women childbearing age (WCA) are particularly vulnerable to inadequacy. The Minimum Diversity for (MDD-W) has been used widely as a proxy measurement adequacy. This study aimed assess the association between MDD-W and nutrients adequacy among WCA eight Latin American countries. Nutrient intakes from 3704 were analyzed two 24-hour dietary recalls. diversity was...
Poor health and diet quality are associated with living within a low socioeconomic status (SES). This study aimed to investigate the impact of SES on body mass index in Latin America. Data from “Latin American Health Nutrition Study (ELANS)”, multi-country, population-based 9218 participants, were used. Dietary intake was collected through two 24 h recalls participants Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru Venezuela. Diet assessed using dietary score (DQS), diversity...
24-hour movement behaviors, including moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), sedentary time (ST), and sleep duration, have important implications for health across the lifespan. However, no studies exist that examined integration of these behaviors in Latin America. The purpose this study was to examine prevalence meeting Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guideline recommendations sociodemographic correlates guidelines adults from eight American countries.This a multi-national...
Sweetpotato and potato are fast-maturing staple crops widely consumed in low- middle-income countries. Conventional breeding to biofortify these with iron could improve intakes. To our knowledge, absorption from sweetpotato has not been assessed. The aim was assess regular iron-biofortified orange-fleshed Malawi yellow-fleshed purple-fleshed Peru. We conducted 2 randomized, multiple-meal studies generally healthy, iron-depleted women of reproductive age. Malawian (n = 24) received 400 g or...
Abstract This study aimed to compare compliance with 24-h movement guidelines across countries and examine the associations markers of adiposity in adults from eight Latin American countries. The sample consisted 2338 aged 18–65 years. Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) sedentary behavior (SB) data were objectively measured using accelerometers. Sleep duration was self-reported a daily log. Body mass index waist circumference assessed as adiposity. Meeting defined ≥ 150 min/week...
Coca leaves (Erythroxylum coca) have been promoted as a food that could address the dietary deficiencies of Andean population, but this is based on nutrient analyses small sample leaves.We assessed nutritional potential eight samples coca grown in different regions Peru.We used AOAC techniques to measure nutrients, inhibitors (phytate, polyphenols, oxalic acid, and fiber), alkaloid concentrations, all expressed per 100 g dry weight (DW) ground leaves. Minerals were measured by inductively...
Background Optimal feeding of infants and young children in developing countries includes daily animal-source foods. Objective To evaluate constraints on the availability foods at community level, access to household intake individual level among under 3 years age case studies five countries: Mexico, Peru, Haiti, Senegal, Ethiopia. Methods Data were obtained from published unpublished research program experiences health agriculture specialists. Results In Ethiopia, 27% 51% case-study chil-...
Active travel such as walking or cycling has been associated with more favorable health outcomes. However, evidence on patterns of transportation in Latin America is scarce. Therefore, the aim this study was to quantify and characterise socio-demographic public, private active American countries. Data from Study Nutrition Health, a population-based, cross-sectional survey conducted eight countries including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru Venezuela (n = 9218;...
Yellow-fleshed potatoes biofortified with iron have been developed through conventional breeding, but the bioavailability of is unknown. Our objective was to measure absorption from an iron-biofortified yellow-fleshed potato clone in comparison a nonbiofortified variety. We conducted single-blinded, randomized, crossover, multiple-meal intervention study. Women (n = 28; mean ± SD plasma ferritin 21.3 3.3 μg/L) consumed 10 meals (460 g) both potatoes, each meal extrinsically labeled either...
La obesidad es una pandemia mundial y los niños son un grupo vulnerable. En América se estimó que en el año 2010 15,2% de menores 18 años la podría sufrir. niñez adolescencia tiene impacto negativo salud carga enfermedades esa etapa vida y, posteriormente, adultez, cobrando economía país debido a incrementa riesgo crónicas, gastos costos indirectos como consecuencia enfermedad. El Perú está proceso transición epidemiológica, donde no ha solucionado problemas desnutrición ya cuenta con altas...
Alcohol consumption is a modifiable risk factor for non-communicable diseases. This study aimed to characterize alcohol consumers at the nutritional, anthropometric, and sociodemographic levels. Data from 9218 participants Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela participating in “Latin American Health Nutrition Study (ELANS)”, multi-country, population-based study, were used. Dietary intake was collected through two, 24 h recalls. Participants classified into...
Background Lyophilized meat powder with iron-fortified wheat flour can be used to produce an infant porridge bioavailable iron, but its acceptability and safety are unknown. Objective To evaluate the of porridges containing lyophilized flour. Methods Peruvian mothers' input was develop without (no meat) (low or high chicken liver, low thigh). Acceptability determined by maternal hedonic scoring, 9-day intake, videotape analysis how well infants liked each porridge. Dry cooked ingredients...
Women's Dietary Diversity Score (WDDS) is an indicator of dietary diversity, a key component diet quality in women reproductive age (WRA). Limited information available regarding its applicability other population groups.
Understanding whole-grain intake and its associated factors is essential to tackle the double burden of malnutrition faced by Latin American countries. This study aimed characterize total whole grain in countries investigate foods contributing these region.Data were obtained from multicenter cross-sectional survey Study Nutrition Health (ELANS), including 9128 participants residing urban areas eight Data collection was performed via two household visits using a standardized questionnaire 24...
Neck circumference (NC) is being used to identify the risk of chronic diseases. There a high prevalence overweight and obesity in Latin America, neck simple practical measurement assess this, especially primary health centers. We analyzed correlation between NC anthropometric indicator other measurements such as BMI waist (WC) eight American cities. applied Pearson’s correlate with variables stratified by sex; sensitivity (Se) specificity (Sp) sex were evaluated according cut-off established...
Dietary protein intake is vital to life. Here we sought characterize dietary sources of in eight Latin American countries. Survey data were collected for Estudio Latinoamericano de Nutrición y Salud (ELANS); participants from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela (
Zinc-biofortified potatoes have considerable potential to reduce zinc deficiency because of their low levels phytate, an inhibitor absorption, and high consumption, especially in the Andean region Peru.The purpose this study was measure fractional total absorption from a test meal biofortified compared with regular potatoes.We undertook single-blinded randomized crossover (using 67Zn 70Zn stable isotopes) which 37 women consumed 500-g or twice day. Urine samples were collected determine...
Poor diet, sedentary behaviors, sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) and alcohol intake seem to co-exist in complex ways that are not well understood. The aim of this study was provide an understanding the extent which unhealthy behaviors cluster eight Latin America countries. A secondary identify socio-demographic characteristics associated with these by country. Data from adolescents adults “Latin American Health Nutrition Study” used prevalence screen-time, occupational...
