ArticleMinimum Dietary Diversity for Women: Partitioning Misclassifications by Proxy Data Collection Methods using Weighed Food Records as the Reference in Ethiopia 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Food group consumption misclassifications by proxy data collection methods were mainly attributable to females overreporting consumption because of respondent biases or the criterion for foods to be counted, rather than the suboptimal development of the food list in Ethiopia. To obtain precise and accurate MDD-W estimates at the (sub)national level, rigorous context-specific food list development, questionnaire pilot testing, and enumerator training are recommended to mitigate identified biases. -
ArticleCross-context equivalence and agreement of healthy diet metrics for national and global monitoring: a multicountry analysis of cross-sectional quantitative 24-hour dietary intake studies 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The impacts of diets on public health are well recognized, yet most countries do not have surveillance systems for monitoring diets at scale. This is constrained, in part, by the lack of universally accepted healthy diet metrics. Timely national dietary intake data are crucial to assess more immediate progress toward international initiatives’ indicators, identify within-country disparities, permit valid cross-country comparisons, and inform high-level decisions on nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive actions. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetCorrelates of consumption of animal source foods among children aged 6–23 month, adolescent girls aged 15–19 years and women of reproductive age in rural Malawi 2022
Also available in:
No results found.This paper assesses if the production of various food items translates to improved consumption of varied food groups using data from the annual knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) survey of 2020 which was conducted in ten districts of Chitipa, Karonga, Mzimba, Nkhatabay in the northern region, Nkhotakota, Salima, Kasungu in the central region, and Chiradzulu, Thyolo, Mulanje in the southern region of Malawi. It concludes that households meeting the minimum dietary diversity remain low and varied by region and that meeting the minimum dietary diversity was significantly correlated with production of various food items such as ownership of livestock and backyard farming, even after accounting for the other factors. The results further showed production of the various food items was associated with increased consumption of the food items except production of poultry or chicken which did not lead to consumption of eggs.
