Also, the literature provides conflicting concerning existence elevated among children mild moderate malnutrition. A review published population-based studies anthropometry-mortality relationships was undertaken clarify these relationships.Six relevant data were...
Undernutrition is the single largest contributor to global burden of disease and can be addressed through a number highly efficacious interventions. generally has not received commensurate attention in policy agendas at national levels, however, implementing these interventions scale proven difficult.

Advocacy represents an intervention into complex, dynamic and highly contextual socio-political systems, in which strategies tactics must be adjusted on a continual basis light of rapidly changing conditions, reactions from actors feedback.

Background: Nearly one-half of Guatemalan children experience growth faltering, more so in indigenous than nonindigenous children. Objectives: On the basis ethnographic interviews Totonicapán, Guatemala, which revealed differences maternal perceptions about food needs infant girls and boys, we predicted a cumulative sex difference favor that occurred at ∼6 mo age diminished markedly thereafter. We examined whether age-sex patterns were observed village, replicated examination nationally for...
<h3>ABSTRACT</h3> <h3>Background:</h3> Zimbabwe, like most low-income countries, faces health worker shortages. Community workers (CHWs) bridge this gap by delivering essential services and nutrition interventions to communities. However, as workloads increase, CHWs' ability provide quality may be compromised. We studied influences upon performance related pregnancy surveillance hygiene education in rural Zimbabwe. <h3>Methods:</h3> In the context of a cluster-randomized trial conducted 2...
Antenatal care (ANC) is an important health service for women in developing countries, with numerous proven benefits. Global coverage of ANC has steadily increased over the past 30 years, part due to community-based outreach. However, commensurate improvements outcomes such as reductions prevalence maternal anemia and infants born small-for-gestational age have not been achieved, even coverage, indicating that quality may be inadequate. Mobile clinics are one strategy used further improve...
