  1. 1. Stunted growth in children from fetal life to adolescence : Risk factors, consequences and entry points for prevention - Cohort studies in rural Bangladesh

    Författare :Pernilla Svefors; Katarina Ekholm Selling; Eva-Charlotte Ekström; Torbjörn Lind; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; stunting; linear growth; child health; undernutrition; Bangladesh; cost-effectiveness; data mining; puberty; prenatal interventions; global health; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Sammanfattning : Stunted growth affects one in four children under the age of five years and comes with great costs for the child and society. With an increased understanding of the long-term consequences of chronic undernutrition the reduction of stunted growth has become an important priority on the global health agenda. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Constraint-based modeling of metabolism - interpreting predictions of growth and ATP synthesis in human and yeast

    Författare :Avlant Nilsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; the Crabtree effect; enzyme-constraints; stunting; cellular economy; the Warburg effect; uncoupling; tumor; flux balance analysis; lactate threshold; metabolite depletion;

    Sammanfattning : Growth is the primary objective of the cell. Diseases arise when cells diverge from a healthy growth-pattern. An increased understanding of cellular growth may thus be translated into improved human health. The cell requires materials and free energy (in the form of ATP) in order to grow, metabolism supplies the cell with this. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Effects of Pre- and Postnatal Nutrition Interventions on Child Growth and Body Composition : The MINIMat Trial in Rural Bangladesh

    Författare :Ashraful Islam Khan; Lars-Åke Persson; Elisabeth Forsum; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :body composition; child growth; exclusive breast feeding; food supplementation; multiple micronutrients; pregnancy; programming;

    Sammanfattning : Nutritional insults and conditions in fetal life and infancy may influence later growth and body composition as well as the development of chronic diseases in adult life. We studied the effects of maternal food and micronutrient supplementation and exclusive breast-feeding counseling on offspring growth 0-54 months and body composition at 54 months of age. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Socioeconomic and sex differences in adolescents’ dietary intake, anthropometry and physical activity in Cameroon, Africa

    Författare :Léonie Dapi N.; Urban Janlert; Christel Larsson; Agneta Hörnell; Thorkild Tylleskär; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adolescents; socioeconomic; energy intake; nutrient intake; physical activity; under-overweight; Cameroon; Public health science; Folkhälsovetenskap; näringslära; Nutrition;

    Sammanfattning : Background: People in Cameroon are experiencing a dietary transition characterized by changing from traditional food habits to increased intake of highly processed sweet and fatty food. The rapid change in food pattern combined with an increased sedentary lifestyle has resulted in a rather high prevalence of obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes.

  7. 5. Social Stratification of Children's Diet and Nutrition: Understanding Women's Situation in Addis Ababa

    Författare :Hanna Yemane Berhane; Eva-Charlotte Ekström; Magnus Jirström; Michelle Holdsworth; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :malnutrition; urban mothers; diet diversity; preschool children; social stratification; affordability; Addis Ababa; Ethiopia;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Childhood undernutrition is the cause of nearly half of all deaths in under-five children. In sub-Saharan African countries, this problem is further complicated by the rising prevalence of overweight. LÄS MER
