Abstract Vitamin D is an essential nutrient for bone health and may influence the risks of respiratory illness, adverse pregnancy outcomes, chronic diseases adulthood. Because many countries have a relatively low supply foods rich in vitamin inadequate exposure to natural ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation from sunlight, important proportion global population at risk deficiency. There general agreement that minimum serum/plasma 25‐hydroxyvitamin concentration (25(OH)D) protects against...
Micronutrient deficiencies compromise immune systems, hinder child growth and development, affect human potential worldwide. Yet, to our knowledge, the only existing estimate of global prevalence micronutrient is from over 30 years ago based on anaemia. We aimed regional deficiency in at least one three micronutrients among preschool-aged children (aged 6-59 months) non-pregnant women reproductive age 15-49 years).
Food systems that support healthy diets in sustainable, resilient, just, and equitable ways can engender progress eradicating poverty malnutrition; protecting human rights; restoring natural resources. system activities have contributed to great gains for humanity but also led significant challenges, including hunger, poor diet quality, inequity, threats nature. While it is recognized food are central multiple global commitments goals, the Sustainable Development Goals, current trajectories...
Malnutrition in all its forms has risen on global and national agendas recent years because of the recognition magnitude consequences for a wide range human, social, economic outcomes. Although WHO, governments, other organizations have endorsed targets identified appropriate policies, programs, interventions, major challenge lies implementing these with scale quality needed to achieve population impact. This paper presents an approach implementation science nutrition (ISN) that builds upon...
Most low- and middle-income countries present suboptimal intakes of calcium during pregnancy high rates mortality due to maternal hypertensive disorders. Calcium supplementation is known reduce the risk these disorders associated complications, including preeclampsia, morbidity, preterm birth, is, therefore, a recommended intervention for pregnant women in populations with low dietary intake (e.g., where ≥25% individuals population have less than 800 mg calcium/day). However, this not widely...
Objective. To assess the comparability of hemoglobin concentration (Hb) in venous and capillary blood measured by Hemocue an automated spectrophotometer (Celldyn) to document influence type (capillary or venous) analysis method on anemia prevalence estimates. Material Methods. Between February May 2000, samples were collected from 72 adults children at Hospital del Niño Morelense (Morelos State Children's Hospital) Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico, assessed for Hb using Celldyn methods. Estimated...
Kitchen-area 22-h gravimetric PM2.5 and passive diffusion stain-tube carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations were measured in homes with open fire improved wood cookstoves two studies. In the first study (Guat-2), which also studied gas cookstoves, three samples collected per stove condition from each of test houses. second (Guat-3), one sample was house 15 25 improved-stove CO personal taken for mother child both Spearman correlation coefficients (R) between kitchen-area levels using fires or...
A number of studies have reported associations between indoor biofuel air pollution in developing countries and chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD) adults acute lower respiratory infection (ALRI) children. Most these used indirect measures exposure generally dealt inadequately with confounding. More reliable, quantified information about this presumed effect is an important pre-requisite for prevention, not least because the technical, economic cultural barriers to achieving substantial...
