Unhealthy diets are a critical global concern while dietary measure methods are time consuming and expensive.

Improving diet quality of preschool children is challenging in countries undergoing food environment and nutrition transition.

Background: There is a gap in data on dietary intake of adolescents in low- and middle-income countries. Traditional methods for dietary assessment are resource intensive and lack accuracy with regards to portion size estimation.

Background: Adolescents’ consumption of healthy foods is suboptimal in low- and middle-income countries.

Global trade has shaped food systems over centuries, but modern trade agreements are hastening these changes and making them more complex, with implications for public health and nutrition transition.

Background

This Food Atlas provides a photograph series of the 360 meals most commonly eaten by adolescent girls in Thai Nguyen, Viet Nam.

Vietnam has successfully reduced population stunting, but ethnic minority groups are being systematically left behind, limiting progress on national reductions.

Research finds that child linear growth during and after the first 1000 days is positively associated with intellectual functioning and mental health in school-age children in Vietnam.

Malnutrition in all its forms continues to be a massive global challenge, and the past decade has seen a growing political attention to addressing malnutrition in different contexts.

Background: Low quality diets are a public health problem affecting individuals of all ages worldwide.

Purpose: This study compared the therapeutic effects of transdermal testosterone gel (TTG) application at 4 and 6 weeks before controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) in women with poor ovarian response (POR).

Growth faltering is associated with adverse consequences during childhood and later life.

Although there is growing evidence on the role of preconception nutrition for birth outcomes, very few studies have evaluated the long-term effects of nutrition interventions during the preconception period on offspring cognitive outcomes.

While there is growing evidence on the role of preconception nutrition for birth outcomes, very few studies have evaluated the effects of nutrition interventions during the preconception period on child development.

While literature has noted the presence of a nutrition transition in terms of changing nutrition outcomes in Vietnam, very limited evidence linking changes in upstream food system factors to downstream diet and nutrition changes exists.

Vietnam has achieved significant progress in reducing undernutrition over the past several decades, but ethnic minority groups are being systematically left behind and this is limiting progress on national reductions.

There is a need for accurate, inexpensive and field-friendly methods to assess body composition in children.
