This brief identifies important constructs for assessing drivers of food choice behaviors and describes progress on the development of a repository of instruments and measures for assessing these constructs.
OBJECTIVES
Background: The practice of giving water before 6 mo of age is the biggest barrier to exclusive breastfeeding in West and Central Africa.
Background
Vietnamese food systems have experienced a transition process since the late 1980s Đổi mới reforms.
In order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, considerable dietary shifts, including an increase in the consumption of fruit and vegetables (FV) will be required.
This study examines malnutrition’s triple burden, including anaemia, overweight, and stunting, among children aged 6–59 months.
Adolescent and young women face grave nutrition challenges, but limited evidence exists on solutions to improve their diets.
The Global Diet Quality Score (GDQS) has been recommended as a simple diet quality metric that is reflective of both nutrient adequacy and noncommunicable disease outcomes.
Early life nutrition sets the stage for the health, nutrition, and development of young children.
South Asia is home to more adolescents than any global region, and one in five adolescents globally live in India.
Objective: To assess the association between child ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption and home-school learning environment characteristics during school closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic in schoolchildren with low- and middle-income in Chi
Adolescence is a sensitive transition time that affects rights, roles, and responsibilities in food choice, yet limited evidence exists on dietary intakes during this critical period.
Rationale and objective: Improving diet quality while decreasing environmental impacts is an important challenge for a healthy and sustainable food system.
The 49th issue of Abstract Digest features a set of studies on child growth, including patterns of child stunting in low- and middle-income countries, various forms of inequities in child growth, and the role of milk in child growth.
