Abstract Extreme heat events impact people and ecosystems across the globe, they are becoming more frequent intense in a warming climate. Responses to span sectors geographic boundaries. Prior research has documented technologies or options that can be deployed manage extreme examples of how individuals, communities, governments other stakeholder groups adapting heat. However, comprehensive understanding current state implemented adaptations—where, why, what extent occurring—has not been...
Coastal cities are at the frontlines of climate change impacts, resulting in an urgent need for substantial adaptation. To understand whether, and to what extent, on track prepare risks, this paper systematically assesses academic literature evaluate evidence adaptation 199 coastal worldwide. Results show that is rather slow, narrow scope not transformative. Adaptation measures predominantly designed based past current—rather than future—patterns hazards, exposure vulnerability. City...
Severely malnourished patients can present with bilateral pitting oedema, which is a common sign of Kwashiorkor. However, oedema also be an expression other pathologies. In Mali and DRC, the number children presenting at MSF (Médecins Sans Frontiers/Doctors Without Borders) hospitals are up to 30% (Mali) 49% (DRC) higher than in countries, however, reasons underlying this trend unknown. Through qualitative study, we aimed explore perspectives lived experiences health professionals on...
Timely access to comprehensive, high-quality emergency obstetric and neonatal care can prevent maternal mortality, but remains challenging in Benin. We examine geographic accessibility childbirth Grand Nokoue, the largest conurbation with five urban areas gathered data on boundaries, health facilities, road network, elevation, land cover, relative wealth, urbanicity geo-traced travel speeds Nokoue. modelled times facility offering (stratified by level sector) using least-cost path algorithm,...
Abstract Climate change is projected to negatively affect human health and nutrition. There a growing literature on the effects of climatic changes food availability, quantity, agricultural production, but impacts nutritional content foods has not been widely studied. The aim this paper systematically characterise empirical exploring drivers macronutrients micronutrients in causing malnutrition globally. 69 peer-reviewed articles (excluding experimental modelling studies) analysing effect...
Improving breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices is needed to support good health, enhance child growth, reduce mortality. Limited evidence available on among Indigenous communities in the context of environmental changes. We investigate past present within Batwa neighbouring Bakiga populations south-western Uganda. Specifically, we describe demographic socio-economic characteristics mothers their children, individual experiences practices. factors that have an impact at community...
Abstract We present the first systematic, global stocktake of academic literature on human adaptation. screen 48,316 documents and identify 1,682 articles that empirical research documenting efforts to reduce risk from climate change associated hazards. Coding synthesizing this highlights overall extent adaptation across regions sectors is low. Adaptations are largely local incremental rather than transformative. Behavioural adjustments by individuals households more prevalent any other type...
To develop an online food composition database of locally consumed foods among Indigenous population in south-western Uganda.
A comprehensive food composition database (FCDB) is essential for assessing dietary intake of nutrients. However, currently available data Gulf Cooperation Council countries (GCC) limited. The aim was to develop an Arabic FCDB foods commonly in the GCC (initial focus on Saudi Arabia and Kuwait), which will be integrated into version online assessment tool, myfood24. built using a standardized approach identifying from existing tables (FCTs), research articles, back-of-pack (BOP) nutrient...

Adequate complementary foods contribute to good health and growth in young children. However, many countries are still off-track achieving critical feeding indicators, such as minimum meal frequency (MMF), dietary diversity (MDD) acceptable diet (MAD). In this study, we used the 2016 Ugandan Demographic Health Survey (UDHS) data assess child practices children aged 6–23 months. We describe indicators (MMF, MDD MAD) for Uganda, considering geographic variation. construct multivariable...
Abstract Dietary adequacy is hard to achieve for many people living in low-income countries, who suffer from nutritional deficiencies. Climate change, which alters weather conditions, has combined with other cascading and compound events disrupt Indigenous communities’ food systems, limiting the consumption of adequate diets. The aim this work was conduct a proof-of-concept study exploring dietary adequacy, investigate evidence temporal variation intake non-Indigenous communities Kanungu...
Comprehensive food lists and databases are a critical input for programs aiming to alleviate undernutrition. However, standard methods developing them may produce that irrelevant marginalised groups where nutritional needs highest. Our study provides method identifying contextual information required build relevant Indigenous populations. For our study, we used mixed-methods design with community-based approach. Between July October 2019, interviewed 74 participants among Batwa Bakiga...
Abstract Purpose Taxes on unhealthy foods can help improve population health in the United Kingdom (UK), but effects of food substitutions resulting from these taxes are often unclear. We investigated potential impacts a salt and sugar tax hypothetical intra-category substitutions, cost, body-mass index (BMI), environmental footprints. Methods Purchase panel data Kantar (2017) were used to determine most popular high or within eight ‘salt-intensive’/‘sugar-intensive’ categories. Within...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Early psychosocial stimulation for infants in precarious situations can yield both short- and long-term benefits to cognitive social development. Comprehensive programmes, covering health, nutrition, prove most effective preventing impairment enhancing treatment children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM). The StimNut study assesses the effects of early on maternal mental health mother-child relationship, as well acceptability integrating such an intervention into...
