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.
Background: Evidence suggests that iron deficiency (ID) affects cognitive performance, as measured in behavior.
Child development is affected by multiple factors throughout pregnancy and childhood. Multisectoral programs addressing these factors may improve children's development.
We assessed the impact of Burundi's Tubaramure Food-assisted maternal and child health and nutrition (FA-MCHN) program on linear growth.
