Abstract

Animal source foods are evolutionarily appropriate foods for humans. It is therefore remarkable that they are now presented by some as unhealthy, unsustainable, and unethical, particularly in the urban West. The benefits of consuming them are nonetheless substantial, as they offer a wide spectrum of nutrients that are needed for cell and tissue development, function, and survival. They play a role in proper physical and cognitive development of infants, children, and adolescents, and help promote maintenance of physical function with ageing. While high-red meat consumption in the West is associated with several forms of chronic disease, these associations remain uncertain in other cultural contexts or when consumption is part of wholesome diets. Besides health concerns, there is also widespread anxiety about the environmental impacts of animal source foods. Although several production methods are detrimental (intensive cropping for feed, overgrazing, deforestation, water pollution, etc.) and require substantial mitigation, damaging impacts are not intrinsic to animal husbandry. When well-managed, livestock farming contributes to ecosystem management and soil health, while delivering high-quality foodstuffs through the upcycling of resources that are otherwise non-suitable for food production, making use of marginal land and inedible materials (forage, by-products, etc.), integrating livestock and crop farming where possible has the potential to benefit plant food production through enhanced nutrient recycling, while minimising external input needs such as fertilisers and pesticides. Moreover, the impacts on land use, water wastage, and greenhouse gas emissions are highly contextual, and their estimation is often erroneous due to a reductionist use of metrics. Similarly, whether animal husbandry is ethical or not depends on practical specificities, not on the fact that animals are involved. Such discussions also need to factor in that animal husbandry plays an important role in culture, societal well-being, food security, and the provision of livelihoods. We seize this opportunity to argue for less preconceived assumptions about alleged effects of animal source foods on the health of the planet and the humans and animals involved, for less top-down planning based on isolated metrics or (Western) technocratic perspectives, and for more holistic and circumstantial approaches to the food system.

8. The Importance of a Food Systems Approach to Low and Middle Income Countries and Emerging Economies: A Review of Theories and Its Relevance for Disease Control and Malnutrition

Abstract

Our review explores the changing food production, distribution and consumption environment in low and middle-income countries and emerging economies as a basis for framing how to study food systems in order to address public health issues of food safety and nutrition. It presents the state of knowledge on existing food systems science and its use in terms of sustainable actions for food safety and public health. The review identifies a knowledge gap in food system mapping and governance, with value chain mapping of key commodities often missing. Despite a number of initiatives, the application of food systems methods is highly variable in scope and quality. Most analyses concentrate on specific commodities, rarely taking into account the need for a whole diet approach when looking at nutrition or the assessment of a range of infectious agents and their interactions when looking at food safety. Of the studies included in the review there is a growing observation of “informal” food systems, a term used inconsistently and one that requires revision. “Informal” food systems link to the formal sector to provide food security, yet with trade-offs between economic efficiencies and food safety. Efforts to improve food safety are hampered by inadequate food safety capacities and a lack of policy coherence leading to: inadequate investment; fragmented food quality control systems; weak or non-existent traceability mechanisms; weak foodborne disease surveillance; obsolete food regulation; and weak regulatory enforcement. In-depth food systems assessments can complement risk analysis to identify risky behaviors and understand institutional settings in order to improve codes of practice and enforcement. Methods for looking at food safety from a food systems perspective are emerging, yet existing nutrition and food systems science are not advancing sufficiently in response to nutritional public health problems. There is an urgency for improved understanding of the structure and drivers of the food systems, for better planning of changes that leads to nutrients access and healthy levels of eating. It is proposed that countries and international institutions provide an atlas of food system maps for the key commodities based on an agreed common methodology and developed by multidisciplinary teams.

Abstract

Animal milk is an important contributor to women's dietary diversity, especially among pastoral communities where access to diverse diets is limited. While there have been numerous large-scale milk development projects in East Africa, few examples of pro-poor milk collective action projects exist that focus on expanding milk production and consumption by women. This study reports cross-sectional findings on the association between participation in a pro-poor dairy development project and women's milk consumption in rural Tanzania. Socio-demographic and health-related characteristics associated with milk consumption were assessed as well. The study utilized data from a sample of 272 women who participated in two surveys conducted in the Morogoro and Tanga regions of Tanzania in 2015. Chi-square and Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel analyses identified factors associated with whether milk was consumed in the previous 24-hour period. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) identified factors associated with frequency of milk consumption. Multivariable logistic regression was applied to estimate associations between program participation, socio-demographic, health characteristics, milk consumption behavior. Seventy-six percent of women reported drinking milk in the previous 24-hour period. The mean frequency of milk intake among the control group was 1.61 times 2.15 times among the intervention group. The adjusted odds of consuming any milk in the previous 24 hours were 16.1 (95% CI 1.72-150.44) times greater for Maasai than other tribes. Among Maasai, the adjusted odds of consuming milk 3-4 times per day compared to 1-2 times per day were 9.96 (95% CI 1.03 - 96.09) times greater for those in the dairy development group compared to the control. Among non-Maasai, the adjusted odds of consuming any milk in the prior 24 hours was 3.45 (95% CI 1.07- 11.05) times greater for those in the dairy development group compared to the control. Milk consumption was greatest among Maasai and communities with pro-poor dairy development programs. Findings suggest that participation in a Pro-poor agricultural intervention to improve milk production may improve women's milk consumption and ultimately help to address rural poverty and improve household nutrition. Key words: milk project, pastoral women's health, food and nutrition security, Tanzania, INTRODUCTION In low and middle-income countries, over half of women of reproductive age (WRA) experience nutritional deficiencies, putting themselves and their infants at risk for poor health and development outcomes [...]

Abstract

Populations in tropical and subtropical developing countries are exposed to largely uncontrolled levels of aflatoxins through food. These countries (especially in Africa and Asia) also present a high prevalence of stunting. Studies have reported an association between aflatoxin exposure and growth impairment in children but there is not yet conclusive evidence that aflatoxins are a significant cause of stunting in children, thus further research is warranted. In this cross-sectional study, 204 low-income households were randomly selected in two low-income areas of Nairobi, Kenya. Korogocho is a higher population density area and Dagoretti a lower population density area. We asked questions about household demographics and a 24-hour dietary recall was conducted in children aged 1-3 years. Child anthropometric measurements were also conducted. Height-for-age Z-scores (HAZ), weight-for-age Z-scores (WAZ) and weight-for-height Z-scores (WHZ) were calculated for each child using World Health Organization (WHO) growth standards reference data. Samples of foods were taken from the household or from the retailer for analysis using competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Laboratory results for aflatoxin levels in the food samples collected were used to calculate the daily aflatoxin intake, according to the results from the dietary assessment. The study found 41% of children sampled had stunted growth. Boys were more stunted than girls (p=0.057) and Korogocho had more stunted children than Dagoretti (p=0.041). In all, 98% of food samples collected tested positive for aflatoxin and there was an average exposure to aflatoxins of 21.3 ng/kg bodyweight per day. Exposure to aflatoxin M1 (AFM1), location and sex were significantly associated with HAZ, with boys and children from Korogocho having lower HAZ, and AFM1 was negatively associated with HAZ (p=0.047), indicating that AFM1 was associated with stunting. There was no association between total aflatoxins (aflatoxin B [AFB] and aflatoxin G [AFG]) and HAZ, WAZ and WHZ. The study showed a high prevalence of malnutrition, especially stunting, in two low-income urban sites, and this was most pronounced in the high-density area. The reported association between AFM1 and stunted children indicates that more research is needed on the health impacts of this aflatoxin in growing children. Key words: stunting, aflatoxin M1, contamination, exposure, mycotoxin, ELISA, aflatoxins, mycotoxins, aflatoxin B1, INTRODUCTION Impaired growth is an important public health problem as it leads to long-term negative impacts on physical and psychological development.

Abstract

Food systems that deliver healthy diets without exceeding the planet’s resources are essential to achieve the worlds’ ambitious development goals. Healthy diets need to be safe, accessible, and affordable for all, including for disadvantaged and nutritionally vulnerable groups such as of smallholder producers, traders, and consumers in low- and middle-income countries. Globally, food systems are experiencing rapid and drastic changes and are failing to fulfil these multiple duties simultaneously. The international community therefore calls for rigorous food systems transformations and policy solutions to support the achievement of healthy diets for all. Most strategies, however, are essentially supply- and market-oriented. Incorporation of a healthy diet perspective in food system transformation is essential to enable food systems to deliver not only on supplying nutritious foods but also on ensuring that consumers have access can afford and desire healthy, sustainable, and culturally acceptable diets. This paper argues that this should be guided by information on diets, dietary trends, consumer motives, and food environment characteristics. Transformational approaches and policies should also take into account the stage of food system development requiring different strategies to ensure healthier diets for consumers. We review current knowledge on drivers of consumer choices at the individual and food environment level with special emphasis on low- and middle income countries, discuss the converging and conflicting objectives that exist among multiple food-system actors, and argue that failure to strengthen synergies and resolve trade-offs may lead to missed opportunities and benefits, or negative unintended consequences in food system outcomes. The paper proposes a menu of promising consumer- and food-environment- oriented policy options to include in the food systems transformation agenda in order to shift LMIC consumer demand towards healthier diets in low- and

Abstract

This paper presents a mixed-methods study that examines the relationship between women's empowerment, household food security, and maternal and child diet diversity (as one indicator of nutrition security) in two regions of Tanzania. Indicators across three domains of women's empowerment were scored and matched to a household food insecurity access scale. Qualitative research helped appreciate the gender dynamics affecting the women's empowerment-food security and women's empowerment-nutrition security nexus. In cluster adjusted regression analyses, scores from each domain were significantly associated with women's dietary diversity, but not with household food security. All three empowerment domains were positively associated with food security and nutrition in the qualitative analysis. This article discusses these findings and shows the pathways by which respondents saw their empowerment to affect their household food security. • Frameworks on empowerment should include local and universal definitions. • Sedentarization offers unique opportunities to change gender norms towards equity. • Claims of control over resources may be more relevant than ownership. • Differing quantitative and qualitative results on food security add depth of analysis. • Ensuring household's food and nutrition security are two distinct gender roles linked to women's empowerment.

43. Evidence for Negative Selection at SNPs Increasing Dietary Choline Requirement in a Gambian Cohort

Abstract

Choline is an essential nutrient, and the amount needed in the diet is modulated by several factors. Given geographical differences in dietary choline intake and disparate frequencies of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in choline metabolism genes between ethnic groups, we tested the hypothesis that 3 SNPs that increase dependence on dietary choline would be under negative selection pressure in settings where choline intake is low: choline dehydrogenase (CHDH) rs12676, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase 1 (MTHFD1) rs2236225, and phosphatidylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase (PEMT) rs12325817. Evidence of negative selection was assessed in 2 populations: one in The Gambia, West Africa, where there is historic evidence of a choline-poor diet, and the other in the United States, with a comparatively choline-rich diet. We used 2 independent methods, and confirmation of our hypothesis was sought via a comparison with SNP data from the Maasai, an East African population with a genetic background similar to that of Gambians but with a traditional diet that is higher in choline. Our results show that frequencies of SNPs known to increase dependence on dietary choline are significantly reduced in the low-choline setting of The Gambia. Our findings suggest that adequate intake levels of choline may have to be reevaluated in different ethnic groups and highlight a possible approach for identifying novel functional SNPs under the influence of dietary selective pressure.

45. Contributions of livestock-derived foods to nutrient supply under changing demand in low- and middle-income countries.

Abstract

Abstract The potential to use large-scale dietary transformations to meet nutritional needs of the world's poorest populations may have been largely overlooked. A case study is presented of food nutrient supplies in eight selected countries within the context of their growing demand for livestock-derived food (LDF). For almost all the countries and under a range of scenarios of economic and climatic change in 2050, we find that per capita protein supply from LDF will increase relative to that from plant sources. Survey data indicate higher LDF consumption, up to 22%, among children in households that keep livestock compared to others. However, projections that four of the selected countries will import at least 40% of their LDF protein highlight the opportunity to increase livestock sector production and the potential to develop smallholder inclusive policies. Highlights • The potential of ongoing dietary shifts to impact livelihoods and nutrition are largely ignored. • Model projections and household survey data are assessed for eight countries. • Per capita supply of proteins from livestock will rise relative to other sources. • Half of countries will import more than 40% of livestock-derived proteins in 2050. • Findings support increased focus on livestock production in key countries.

Abstract

Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography measures cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFv) of basal intracranial vessels and is used clinically to detect stroke risk in children with sickle cell anaemia (SCA). Co‐inheritance in SCA of alpha‐thalassaemia and glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) polymorphisms is reported to associate with high CBFv and/or risk of stroke. The effect of a common functional polymorphism of haptoglobin (HP) is unknown. We investigated the effect of co‐inheritance of these polymorphisms on CBFv in 601 stroke‐free Tanzanian SCA patients aged

49. Developmental epigenetics in humans: Can maternal nutritional status mediate DNA methylation in their offspring?

Author

Abstract

Animal studies show that periconceptional maternal supplementation with nutrients involved in the provision of methyl-groups can alter DNA methylation patterns in the offspring. This thesis examines possible associations between maternal nutrition and offspring DNA methylation patterns in humans in the context of seasonal influences. Two complementary studies were conducted in rural Gambia. The ‘indicator’ group enrolled 30 non-pregnant women and followed them monthly for one year, to measure dietary intakes and blood biomarker levels of choline, betaine, folate, methionine and vitamins B2, B6 and B12, as well as plasma homocysteine, S-adenosyl-methionine (SAM), S-adenosyl-homocysteine (SAH), cysteine and dimethylglycine (DMG). The ‘main’ group enrolled 136 mother-infant pairs, with infants conceived at the peak of the rainy (July to September) or dry (February to April) season. The same panel of blood biomarkers were measured on maternal samples collected early in pregnancy. In the infants, DNA methylation at seven metastable epialleles (MEs) was assessed. Significant seasonal variation was observed within the indicator group for dietary intakes of choline, betaine, folate and B2 and all metabolic biomarkers. A possible change in dependence between the betaine and folate pathways between seasons was identified. Within the main group, a seasonal variation was observed in both maternal biomarker levels and infant DNA methylation. The rainy season was associated with a higher maternal SAM:SAH ratio, higher concentrations of most methyl-donors (folate, betaine and methionine) and cofactors (B2 and B6) and higher infant DNA methylation. DNA methylation at the MEs studied was associated with B2, cysteine and the SAM:SAH and DMG:betaine ratios, but not with the other biomarkers. These data suggest that Gambian seasonality influences maternal methyl-group supply, which may be linked to DNA methylation patterns in offspring. Future work is required to confirm this observation, and understand precise mechanisms, so optimal nutrition at critical phases can be determined.
