Dietary Diversity Is Associated with Child Nutritional Status: Evidence from 11 Demographic and Health Surveys
Mary Arimond,Marie T. Ruel +1 more
TL;DR: There is an association between child dietary diversity and nutritional status that is independent of socioeconomic factors, and that dietary diversity may indeed reflect diet quality, which is suggested to be recommended for widespread use as an indicator of diet quality.
Journal ArticleDOI
The second World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research expert report. Food, nutrition, physical activity, and the prevention of cancer: a global perspective.
TL;DR: In this paper, the causal associations between food, nutrition and physical activity and risk of development of seventeen cancers, as well as of weight gain and obesity, were investigated using a newly developed method with a protocol for standardising the literature search and for analysis and display of the evidence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic review of the efficacy and effectiveness of complementary feeding interventions in developing countries.
TL;DR: It is concluded that educational interventions and provision of fortified foods or home fortification products can improve growth and micro-nutrient status in children aged 6-24 months.
Journal ArticleDOI
Food variety and dietary diversity scores in children: are they good indicators of dietary adequacy?
TL;DR: Either FVS or DDS can be used as a simple and quick indicator of the micronutrient adequacy of the diet of South African children, and a strong relationship between dietary diversity and indicators of child growth is indicated.

TL;DR: The authors' experimental intervention increased the duration and degree (exclusivity) of breastfeeding and decreased the risk of gastrointestinal tract infection and atopic eczema in the first year of life.

TL;DR: The data are conflicting with respect to iron status but suggest that, at least in developing-country settings, where iron stores of newborn infants may be suboptimal, exclusive breastfeeding without iron supplementation through 6 months of age may compromise hematologic status.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of breastfeeding on infant and child mortality due to infectious diseases in less developed countries: a pooled analysis.
TL;DR: A pooled analysis of studies that assessed the effect of not breastfeeding on the risk of death due to infectious diseases in Africa found that protection provided by breastmilk declined steadily with age during infancy, and protection was highest when maternal education was low.

Reversibility of stunting: epidemiological findings in children from developing countries.
TL;DR: The growth literature from developing countries is reviewed to assess the extent to which stunting can be reversed in later childhood and adolescence and one study cautions that in older adopted subjects, accelerated growth may accelerate maturation, shorten the growth period and lead to short adult stature.

Complementary foods for infant feeding in developing countries: their nutrient adequacy and improvement.
TL;DR: Most or all appear to meet the estimated daily nutrient needs from complementary foods for protein, thiamin and copper, but not for calcium, iron, and in some cases zinc, even if moderate bioavailability for iron and zinc is assumed.
