Diet-related risks cause 20% of global deaths (~11 million) per year (Afshin et al., 2019).

Progress to improve nutrition among women, infants and children in South Asia has fallen behind the pace needed to meet established global targets.

We write in response to the commentary by Gupta et al.

Edutainment shows promise in changing behavior at scale, yet little is known about how to maximize impacts.

Micronutrient deficiencies are widespread in many low- and middle-income countries, but tend to be most severe in children and in pregnant women, who have higher micronutrient requirements.

Although there is a large body of evidence on food security and food systems, similar research is limited in disaster settings. Rural areas are especially at risk for adverse disaster consequences.

Fortified balanced energy–protein (BEP) supplementation is a promising intervention for improving maternal health, birth outcomes and infant growth in low- and middle-income countries.

The 21st Century has been marked by increased volatility in food prices, with global price spikes in 2007-08, 2010-11, and again in 2021-22. The impact of food inflation on the risk of child undernutrition is not well understood, however.

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

This study examines malnutrition’s triple burden, including anaemia, overweight, and stunting, among children aged 6–59 months.

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

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.

Background: Bangladesh is urbanizing rapidly, facing challenges of malnutrition, low coverage and poor quality of urban nutrition services.

Background: There is limited evidence from prospective cohorts in low-resource settings on the long-term impact of pre-pregnancy body mass index (PPBMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) on postpartum weight retention (PPWR) and maternal and child

Frequent food crises with spiking prices have become the new normal in the 21st century, bringing urgency to the task of understanding their nutritional impacts on poor and food insecure populations.

Importance: Children treated for acute malnutrition remain at increased risk of relapse, infection, and mortality after programmatic recovery.
