Research indicates that p…
Malnutrition in old age is a serious worldwide health concern, with complicated relationships between socioeconomic, health, and physiological factors. This research examines the influence of socioeconomic status, comorbidities, and sociodemographic factors on the nutritional status of older people in Bangladesh. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of factors like age, gender, education, income, marita…
IntroductionBetter nutrition is a priority in African countries like Rwanda with high prevalence of undernutrition and growing rates of obesity. Since public health insurance does not cover meals, vulnerable hospital inpatients are at risk of deficiency. We assessed the nutrition, health, and wellbeing effects of providing meals through the Gemura hospital feeding program. MethodsWe tested outcomes of the interven…
Open article record in new tab ↗Many children suffer from neurodevelopmental aberrations that have long-term effects. To understand the consequences of pathological processes during particular periods in neurodevelopment, one has to understand the differences in the developmental timelines of brain regions. The cerebellum is one of the first brain structures to differentiate during development but one of the last to achieve maturity. This relati…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundA contributory factor to childhood undernutrition is poor gut health occurring within the first 6-12 weeks of life despite exclusive breast feeding. Pro/synbiotic administration may protect gut health. A qualitative study was conducted amongst mothers/carers and healthcare workers (HCWs) to explore their perceptions and the acceptability of pro/synbiotics administration in early life. MethodsThis study w…

Adolescent girls, with their pivotal role as potential future mothers, are particularly susceptible to the challenges of malnutrition. The vulnerability of this group emanates from factors including inadequate nutritional intake and a lack of essential nutritional knowl…
