Journal ArticleDOI
Phytate, zinc, iron and calcium content of selected raw and prepared foods consumed in rural Sidama, Southern Ethiopia, and implications for bioavailability
Yewelsew Abebe,Alemtsehay Bogale,K. Michael Hambidge,Barbara J. Stoecker,Karl B. Bailey,Rosalind S. Gibson +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used HPLC and flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) for phytate analysis of foods from enset and tef in Southern Ethiopia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zinc, Gravida, Infection, and Iron, but Not Vitamin B-12 or Folate Status, Predict Hemoglobin during Pregnancy in Southern Ethiopia
Rosalind S. Gibson,Yewelsew Abebe,Sally P. Stabler,Robert H. Allen,Jamie E Westcott,Barbara J. Stoecker,Nancy F. Krebs,K. Michael Hambidge +7 more
TL;DR: Consumption of fermented enset may have increased vitamin B-12 levels in diet and plasma, and Plasma zinc, followed by CRP, gravida, and plasma ferritin status were major positive predictors of hemoglobin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exposure to Large-Scale Social and Behavior Change Communication Interventions Is Associated with Improvements in Infant and Young Child Feeding Practices in Ethiopia.
Sunny S. Kim,Rahul Rawat,Edina M. Mwangi,Roman Tesfaye,Yewelsew Abebe,Jean Baker,Edward A. Frongillo,Marie T. Ruel,Purnima Menon +8 more
TL;DR: The interventions were associated with plausible improvements in IYCF practices, but large gaps in improving children’s diets in Ethiopia remain, particularly during complementary feeding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inadequate feeding practices and impaired growth among children from subsistence farming households in Sidama, Southern Ethiopia.
Rosalind S. Gibson,Yewelsew Abebe,K. Michael Hambidge,Isabel Arbide,Aklilu Teshome,Barbara J. Stoecker +5 more
TL;DR: Interventions that address the WHO guiding principles for complementary feeding practices and behaviours, as well as prenatal influences on growth, are urgently required in this setting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inadequate intakes of dietary zinc among pregnant women from subsistence households in Sidama, Southern Ethiopia
Yewelsew Abebe,Alemtsehay Bogale,K. Michael Hambidge,Barbara J. Stoecker,Isabel Arbide,Akilu Teshome,Nancy F. Krebs,Jamie E Westcott,Karl B. Bailey,Rosalind S. Gibson +9 more
TL;DR: The high prevalence of inadequate intakes of zinc and protein was reasonably consistent with those based on biochemical measures and could be overcome by regular consumption of cellular animal protein.
