Background Despite recommendations supporting optimal breastfeeding, the number of women practicing exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) remains low, and few interventions have demonstrated implementation impact at scale. Alive & Thrive was implemented over a period 6 y (2009–2014) aimed to improve practices through intensified interpersonal counseling (IPC), mass media (MM), community mobilization (CM) intervention components delivered scale in context policy advocacy (PA) Bangladesh Viet Nam. In...
Despite a strong relationship between household food security and the health nutritional status of adults older children, association with growth infants young children has not been adequately studied, particularly in developing countries. We examined subsequent rural Bangladesh.We followed 1343 from birth to 24 months age who were born Maternal Infant Nutrition Intervention Matlab (MINIMat) study Bangladesh. A scale was created data collected on mothers during pregnancy. Data weight length...
Exposure to arsenic via drinking water has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes and infant morbidity mortality. Little is known, however, about the effects of on child growth.We assessed potential early-life exposure weight length children from birth 2 years age.We followed 2,372 infants born in a population-based intervention trial rural Bangladesh. was by concentrations urine (U-As) mothers (gestational weeks 8 30) (18 months old). Child anthropometry measured monthly first year...
Few data exist on the aetiology of anaemia and Fe deficiency (ID) during early infancy in South Asia. The present study aimed to determine contribution ID, infections feeding practices Bangladeshi infants aged 6–11 months. Baseline from 1600 recruited into a cluster-randomised trial testing effectiveness micronutrient powder sales by frontline health workers prevalence were used. Multivariate logistic regression was used identify risk factors for population attributable fractions (PAF)...
Abstract Agriculture is the mainstay of livelihoods rural Bangladeshi population with majority involved in staple rice production which subjected to seasonal variation. Rice invariably related food insecurity translates shortage or lean periods. In order have a comprehensive view on Bangladesh, it necessary assess seasonality status and factors associated it. The objective this paper compare effect two major harvest seasons post‐aus period household along contribution relevant...
This article is designed to predict the amount of rainfall resulting from tropical cyclones (TCs) in Australia's coastal regions and contributes predicting likelihood extreme events. For this purpose, a Poisson–Gamma generalised linear model fitted TC-induced with distance station TC track translational speed (TS) as predictors. Both variables have significant negative impact on rainfall. lowest TS, 99th percentiles for furthest closest distances were estimated 132.5 mm 236.9 mm,...
The association between household food security (HHFS) and growth of infants young children has not been adequately studied, particularly in developing countries. To investigate this, we followed 1343 from birth to 24 mo age who were born the Maternal Infant Nutrition Intervention Matlab study Bangladesh. A food‐security scale was created data collected on HHFS mothers during pregnancy. Data weight length monthly first year quarterly second life. Anthropometric indices calculated relative...
Behavioral interventions have been used to improve infant and young child feeding (IYCF) with varying success. “Decision moments” (DMs), critical junctures at which caregivers make choices about IYCF are often key intervention targets. The behavior resulting from DMs determines what how children fed thus their longitudinal pattern of or “IYCF trajectory.” In the context Alive & Thrive process evaluation in Bangladesh, we aimed understand these by identifying DMs, characterizing...
This study aimed to determine the contribution of ID, infections and feeding practices anaemia in Bangladeshi infants aged 6–11 months. Baseline data from 1600 recruited into a cluster‐randomized trial testing effectiveness micronutrient powder sales by frontline health workers on prevalence were used. Multivariate logistic regression was used identify risk factors for population attributable fractions (PAF) computed estimate proportion that might be prevented elimination individual factors....
