Policy implications of using a Household Consumption and Expenditures Survey versus an Observed-Weighed Food Record Survey to design a food fortification program por Lividini, Keith, Fiedler, John L., Bermudez, Odilia I.

“…Differences were found, however, in estimated impacts: although both surveys found that oil would be effective in reducing the prevalence of inadequate vitamin A intake among both subpopulations, only OWFR also found that sugar and wheat flour fortification would significantly reduce inadequate vitamin A intake among children.Despite the less precise measure of food consumption from HCES, the two surveys provide similar guidance for designing a fortification program. …”

Integrating a genome‐wide association study with a large‐scale transcriptome analysis to predict genetic regions influencing the glycaemic index and texture in rice por Anacleto, Roslen, Badoni, Saurabh, Parween, Sabiha, Butardo, Vito M., Misra, Gopal, Cuevas, Rosa Paula, Kuhlmann, Markus, Trinidad, Trinidad P., Mallillin, Aida C., Acuin, Cecilia, Bird, Anthony R., Morell, Matthew K., Sreenivasulu, Nese

“…Reliably generating rice varieties with low glycaemic index (GI) is an important nutritional intervention given the high rates of Type II diabetes incidences in Asia where rice is staple diet. We integrated a genome‐wide association study (GWAS) with a transcriptome‐wide association study (TWAS) to determine the genetic basis of the GI in rice. …”

A framework for managing infectious diseases in rural areas in low- and middle-income countries in the face of climate change-East Africa as a case study por Worsley-Tonks, Katherine E.L., Angwenyi, S., Carlson, C., Cissé, G., Deem, S.L., Ferguson, A.W., Fèvre, Eric M., Kimaro, E.G., Kimiti, D.W., Martins, D.J., Merbold, Lutz, Mottet, A., Murray, S., Muturi, M., Potter, T.M., Prasad, S., Wild, H., Hassell, J.M.

“…The framework focuses on rural communities in East Africa since communities in this region experience climate change impacts, present specific vulnerabilities and exposure to climate-related hazards, and have regular exposure to a high burden of infectious diseases. Implementing the outlined approach can help make health systems climate adapted and avoid slowing momentum towards achieving global health grand challenge targets.…”
