Rural Bangladeshi populations have a high risk of zinc deficiency due to their consumption of a predominantly rice-based diet with few animal-source foods. Breeding rice for higher zinc content would offer a sustainable approach to increase the population's zinc intakes. The objectivs of th study ...

Animal-source foods (ASF) provide nutrition for children and adolescents' physical and cognitive development. Here, we use data from the Global Dietary Database and Bayesian hierarchical models to quantify global, regional and national ASF intakes between 1990 and 2018 by age group across 185 countr...

Objectives: In Bangladesh, zinc deficiency affects 45% of preschool children and 57% of women. As zinc deficiency is linked to child growth stunting, diarrheal disease, pneumonia, and increased risk of child mortality, large-scale programs for its prevention are required. Most rice produced in Bangl...

Women in low‐income countries have low micronutrient intake adequacy, but protein adequacy has not been assessed rigorously. A 2015 report from SPRING indicated that protein intake was generally adequate in most cohorts based on the mean protein intakes being above a threshold of % energy rather tha...
