We assessed the potential effectiveness of human milk banking and lactation support on provision of human milk to neonates admitted in the newborn unit (NBU) at Pumwani Maternity Hospital, Kenya.

Children's consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF) is increasing in Ethiopia, but relatively little is known about the specific feeding practices that underlie this pattern.

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

In Kenya 26% of children under age 5 experience stunted growth, 4% are wasted and 11% are underweight. In pregnant women, the prevalence of iron deficiency is 36% and iron-deficiency anaemia prevalence is 26%.

For decades, in-person data collection has been the standard modality for nationally and sub-nationally representative socio-economic survey data in low- and middle-income countries.

There is a growing literature documenting the link between parental migration and children’s health. However, few studies have explained the underlying mechanism of this observed relationship.

This paper investigates the associations between agricultural diversification and dietary diversity among men, women and children of farm households in Bangladesh.

Research has shown mixed findings on the link between production diversity and household dietary diversity. The question is whether this link holds for children.

Background

Nutrition-sensitive agriculture programmes have the potential to improve child nutrition outcomes, but livestock intensification may pose risks related to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) conditions.

The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected vulnerable populations.

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) account for the largest share of the global disease burden, and increasing evidence shows that zinc deficiency (ZD) contributes to NCDs by inducing oxidative stress, insulin resistance, and impaired lipid metabolis

Anaemia is a global public health problem affecting 800 million women and children globally.

Local value-addition in developing countries is often aimed at for upgrading of agricultural value chains, since it is assumed that doing so will make farmers better off.

Acid soils are a major constraint to agricultural productivity in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa, including Ethiopia.

Considerable literature from low- and lower-middle-income countries (LLMICs) links maternal employment to child nutritional status.

Agricultural development projects increasingly aim to improve health and nutrition outcomes, often by engaging women.

Civil conflict began in Ethiopia in November 2020 and has reportedly caused major disruptions in access to health services, food, and related critical services, in addition to the direct impacts of the conflict on health and well-being.

Intoduction: This study aims to investigate the health-related quality of life and coping strategies among COVID-19 survivors in Bangladesh.

This study investigates the financial cost of increasing the diversity of cereal grains in livestock feed rations.
