O. Yaw Addo,Aryeh D. Stein,Caroline H.D. Fall,Denise Petrucci Gigante,Aravinda Meera Guntupalli,Bernardo L. Horta,Christopher W. Kuzawa,Nanette R. Lee,Shane A. Norris,Poornima Prabhakaran,Linda Richter,Harshpal Singh Sachdev,Reynaldo Martorell +12 more
TL;DR: Maternal height influences offspring linear growth over the growing period, which likely include genetic and non-genetic factors, including nutrition-related intergenerational influences on growth that prevent the attainment of genetic height potential in low- and middle-income countries.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the relation between soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) concentrations and inflammation and malaria in preschool children (PSC) and women of reproductive age (WRA) was assessed and adjustment algorithms to account for these effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictors of anemia in preschool children: Biomarkers Reflecting Inflammation and Nutritional Determinants of Anemia (BRINDA) project
Reina Engle-Stone,Grant J Aaron,Jin Huang,James P. Wirth,Sorrel Namaste,Anne M Williams,Janet M Peerson,Fabian Rohner,Ravi Varadhan,O. Yaw Addo,Victor J Temple,Pura Rayco-Solon,Barbara Macdonald,Parminder S. Suchdev +13 more
TL;DR: Results suggest anemia-control programs should address both iron deficiency and infections, and thus, country-specific data are needed to guide programs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effectiveness evaluation of the food fortification program of Costa Rica: impact on anemia prevalence and hemoglobin concentrations in women and children
Reynaldo Martorell,Melany Ascencio,Luis Tacsan,Thelma Alfaro,Melissa F Young,O. Yaw Addo,Omar Dary,Rafael Flores-Ayala +7 more
TL;DR: In Costa Rica, reduced iron was replaced by ferrous fumarate in wheat flour in 2002 and ferrous bisglycinate was added to maize flour in 1999 and to liquid and powdered milk in 2001.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adjusting retinol-binding protein concentrations for inflammation: Biomarkers Reflecting Inflammation and Nutritional Determinants of Anemia (BRINDA) project
Leila M Larson,Sorrel Namaste,Anne M Williams,Reina Engle-Stone,O. Yaw Addo,Parminder S. Suchdev,James P. Wirth,Victor J Temple,Mary K. Serdula,Christine A. Northrop-Clewes +9 more
TL;DR: The use of regression correction (derived from internal data), which accounts for the severity of inflammation, to estimate the prevalence of VAD in PSC in regions with inflammation and malaria is supported by the analysis of the BRINDA data.
