Background
The long-term association between preconception maternal hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations and child health and development is unclear.
Background
Yellow fleshed potatoes biofortified with iron have been developed through conventional breeding but the bioavailability of the iron is unknown.

Trends and inequities in food, energy, protein, fat, and carbonhydrate intakes in rural Bangladesh
Background: Tracking dietary changes can inform strategies to improve nutrition, yet there is limited evidence on food consumption patterns and how disparities in food and nutrient intakes have changed in Bangladesh.
Background: Panel data indicates that non-pregnant women's dietary diversity fluctuates across climatic seasons in low- and middle income countries. The natural day-to-day variability in food group consumption during gestation is unknown.
Background: To address gaps in coverage and quality of nutrition services, Alive & Thrive (A&T) strengthened the delivery of maternal nutrition interventions through government antenatal care (ANC) services in Uttar Pradesh, India.

Background: Maternal nutrition interventions are inadequately integrated into antenatal care (ANC).
Growth faltering is associated with adverse consequences during childhood and later life.
Background: Simple proxy indicators are needed to assess and monitor micronutrient intake adequacy of vulnerable populations.
Little is known about the impact of food-assisted maternal and child health programs (FA-MCHN) on child wasting.
Stunting and wasting among Indian preschoolers have moderate but significant associations with the vegetarian status of their mothers
Background: India has high rates of child undernutrition and widespread lactovegetarianism.
Increased iron status during a feeding trial of iron-biofortified beans increases physical work efficiency in Rwandan women
Background
Iron-biofortified staple foods can improve iron status and resolve iron deficiency. However, whether improved iron status from iron biofortification can improve physical performance remains unclear.
Objective
Tubaramure increased household food security and energy and micronutrient consumption, and maternal and child dietary diversity in Burundi.
Improvements in economic conditions over a decade in India led to declines in undernutrition as well as increases in overweight among adolescents and women.
Background: Evidence suggests that iron deficiency (ID) affects cognitive performance, as measured in behavior.
