Biofortified yellow-fleshed potatoes provide more absorbable zinc than a commonly consumed variety: A randomized trial using stable isotopes in women in the Peruvian Highlands

Background
Zinc-biofortified potatoes have considerable potential to reduce zinc deficiency because of their low levels of phytate, an inhibitor of zinc absorption, and their high consumption, especially in the Andean region of Peru.

journal article

Temporal dietary diversity patterns are associated with linear growth but not ponderal growth in young children in rural Vietnam

Background: The first 2 y of life mark critical changes in children’s diet from milk-based food to diverse food rich in taste and texture, but few studies in low-resource settings have explored the changes in diet quality during this period.

journal article

Strengthening nutrition interventions during antenatal care improved maternal dietary diversity and child feeding practices in urban Bangladesh: Results of a quasi-experimental evaluation study

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

journal article

Total iron absorbed from iron-biofortified potatoes is higher than from non-biofortified potatoes: a randomized trial using stable iron isotopes in women from the Peruvian highlands.

Background
Yellow fleshed potatoes biofortified with iron have been developed through conventional breeding but the bioavailability of the iron is unknown.

Fortified balanced energy-protein supplementation, maternal anemia, and gestational weight gain: a randomized controlled efficacy trial among pregnant women in rural Burkina Faso

Background; Anemia and suboptimal gestational weight gain (GWG) are associated with adverse maternal and birth outcomes. Limited research indicates that balanced energy-protein (BEP) supplements reduce the incidence of inadequate GWG.
journal article

Seasonality and day-to-day variability of dietary diversity: Longitudinal study of pregnant women enrolled in a randomized controlled efficacy trial in rural Burkina Faso

Background: Panel data indicates that non-pregnant women's dietary diversity fluctuates across climatic seasons in low- and middle income countries. The natural day-to-day variability in food group consumption during gestation is unknown.

journal article

A poultry value chain intervention promoting diversified diets has limited impact on maternal and child diet adequacy during the lean season in a cluster randomized controlled trial

Background: SELEVER is a nutrition- and gender-sensitive poultry value chain project designed and implemented by international NGO Tanager which consists of poultry market facilitation and behavior change activities aiming at increasing poultry pr
