Abstract:

AbstractObjective:We explored how positive and negative life experiences of caregivers are associated with household food insecurity.Design:The Midlands Family Study (MFS) was a cross-sectional study with three levels of household food security: food secure, food insecure without child hunger and food insecure with child hunger. Ordinal logistic regression analysis was used for analyses of negative and positive life experiences (number, impact, type) associated with food insecurity.Setting:An eight-county region in South Carolina, USA, in 2012–2013.Participants:Caregivers (n 511) in households with children.Results:Caregivers who reported greater numbers of negative life experiences and greater perceived impact had increased odds of household food insecurity and reporting their children experienced hunger. Each additional negative life experience count of the caregiver was associated with a 16 % greater odds of food insecurity without child hunger and a 28 % greater odds of child hunger. Each one-unit increase in the negative impact score (e.g. a worsening) was associated with 8 % higher odds of food insecurity without child hunger and 12 % higher odds of child hunger. Negative work experiences or financial instability had the strongest association (OR = 1·8; 95 % CI 1·5, 2·2) with child hunger. Positive life experiences were generally not associated with food security status, with one exception: for each unit increase in the number of positive experiences involving family and other relationships, the odds of child hunger decreased by 22 %.Conclusions:More research is needed to understand approaches to build resilience against negative life experiences and strengthen positive familial, community and social relationships.

AbstractObjectiveTo measure rates of hunger and food insecurity among young US-born Latino children with Mexican immigrant parents (Latinos) compared with a non-immigrant non-Latino population (non-Latinos) in a low-income clinic population.Design, setting and subjectsA repeated cross-sectional survey of 4278 caregivers of children < 3 years of age in the paediatric clinic of an urban county hospital for a 5-year period from 1998 to 2003. A total of 1310 respondents had a US-born child with at least one parent born in Mexico. They were compared with a reference group comprised of non-Latino US-born participants (n = 1805). Child hunger and household food insecurity were determined with the US Household Food Security Scale.ResultsYoung Latino children had much higher rates of child hunger than non-Latinos, 6.8 versus 0.5%. Latino families also had higher rates of household food insecurity than non-Latinos, 53.1 versus 15.6%. Latino children remained much more likely to be hungry (odds ratio (OR) = 13.0, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 5.9–28.7, P < 0.01) and in household food-insecure households (OR = 6.6, 95% CI = 5.2–8.3, P < 0.01) than non-Latinos after controlling for the following variables in multivariate analysis: child's age, sex, maternal education level, single-headed household status, family size, young maternal age ( < 21 years), food stamp programme participation, TANF (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, or ‘welfare’) programme participation and WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) usage, and reason for clinic visit (sick visit versus well-child).ConclusionYoung children in Mexican immigrant families are at especially high risk for hunger and household food insecurity compared with non-immigrant, non-Latino patients in a low-income paediatric clinic.

Abstract:

<p>Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG 2) is hinged on achieving zero hunger target globally by 2030. Many developing countries, especially African countries, are challenged with extreme hunger that are often caused or compounded by bad governance, conflicts and climate change. In this paper, we assess Africa’s readiness towards attaining the zero hunger target by 2030 in the face of COVID-19 pandemic. Patterns of Global Hunger Index (GHI) and each of its indicators across Africa are compared before the pandemic (2000-2019). The effect of the pandemic on the hunger situation in Africa is discussed by highlighting the mitigating measures put in place by selected African governments. We have found that most African countries have recorded steady reduction in their child mortality rates but high prevalence of undernourishment, stunting and child wasting indicates significant challenges hampering the achievement of the zero hunger target. The study recommends that African governments should prioritize sustainable agricultural practices and give serious attention to the formulation and implementation of policies that reduce hunger against the COVID-19 pandemic.</p>

Abstract:

The article deals with child’s gustatory flavours in the terms of poetics. The key attention is paid to the gustatory tastes of a child who being hungry has delirious hallucinations for food. The author of this paper focuses on the story «Oysters» by A. Chekhov. This short story reveals the complex set of psychological and physiological sensations caused by the little child’s hunger. Gustatory fantasies of the hungry child forced him to eat the dish, which he could hardly dream about. The child’s flavoring shock caused by eating oysters eventually leads to stomach disease.

Abstract:

AbstractObjective:To identify child hunger and examine its association with family factors, receipt of benefits, housing conditions and social support among recently arrived refugee families with young children.Design:Structured and semi-structured questionnaire administered to a service-based, purposive sample of caregivers.Setting:East London, United Kingdom.Subjects:Thirty households with children <5 years old, resident in the UK for <2 years.Results:All households sampled were food-insecure, and 60% of index children were experiencing hunger as defined on the Radimer/Cornell scale. Child hunger was significantly associated with recent arrival, marginally significantly associated with receipt of fewer benefits and younger parenthood, and not associated with maternal education or self-efficacy score, household size or composition, or measures of social support.Conclusions:A community-based, participatory approach for rapid assessment of the prevalence, extent and causes of child hunger among newly arrived asylum seekers recently arrived in Britain is feasible, and preliminary results suggest a programmatic need for a broader, population-based assessment of food insecurity in this rapidly growing population group.

Abstract:

Abstract Background To characterize acoustic features of an infant’s cry and use machine learning to provide an objective measurement of behavioral state in a cry-translator. To apply the cry-translation algorithm to colic hypothesizing that these cries sound painful. Methods Assessment of 1000 cries in a mobile app (ChatterBabyTM). Training a cry-translation algorithm by evaluating >6000 acoustic features to predict whether infant cry was due to a pain (vaccinations, ear-piercings), fussy, or hunger states. Using the algorithm to predict the behavioral state of infants with reported colic. Results The cry-translation algorithm was 90.7% accurate for identifying pain cries, and achieved 71.5% accuracy in discriminating cries from fussiness, hunger, or pain. The ChatterBaby cry-translation algorithm overwhelmingly predicted that colic cries were most likely from pain, compared to fussy and hungry states. Colic cries had average pain ratings of 73%, significantly greater than the pain measurements found in fussiness and hunger (p < 0.001, 2-sample t test). Colic cries outranked pain cries by measures of acoustic intensity, including energy, length of voiced periods, and fundamental frequency/pitch, while fussy and hungry cries showed reduced intensity measures compared to pain and colic. Conclusions Acoustic features of cries are consistent across a diverse infant population and can be utilized as objective markers of pain, hunger, and fussiness. The ChatterBaby algorithm detected significant acoustic similarities between colic and painful cries, suggesting that they may share a neuronal pathway.

Abstract:

Abstract Objective: To describe the history and current status of household food security measurement.Conclusions:In the 1980s evidence of rising levels of hunger was a concern for many, but disputed by some, Americans. Acknowledgement and quantification of hunger was hindered by the lack of an accepted definition and measure of hunger. Qualitative research at Cornell provided a conceptual framework, description, definition and survey items for hunger. The Community Childhood Hunger Identification Project developed an instrument used in numerous communities. Based upon these initiatives, widely accepted definitions of hunger and food insecurity, and the US Household Food Security Module for its measurement, now exist. The module classifies households as food-secure, or food-insecure without hunger or with moderate or severe hunger, and contains household-, adult- and child-referent items. Its inclusion in the Current Population Survey (CPS) since 1995 has yielded annual estimates of food insecurity. A six-item short form of the module, for surveys with severe time constraints, classifies households only as food-secure or food-insecure without or with hunger and contains no child-specific items. Surveys using the 18-item or short-form module can compare results with published national data from the CPS. Information about the module is available at http://www.ers.usda.gov/briefing/foodsecurity and http://www.fns.usda/fsec. Current research on food security measurement includes measurement of individual food insecurity and hunger, module performance regarding hunger duration and frequency, performance of the module in population subgroups, and the effect of translations on module meaning and performance. National surveys in Canada, New Zealand and Australia also have measured food security.

Abstract:

The subnational global hunger index (GHI-SN) is derived from the global hunger index as a simple indicator to compare hunger status at each subnational level and monitor health program achievement concerning the global target. The purpose of this objective study is to ensure the validity and reliability of the subnational global hunger index; to assess health inequality in children under the age of five in Indonesia. Method: We use secondary data analysis to determine malnutrition and child mortality prevalence using aggregate data from national basic health research survey reports (2007, 2010, 2013, 2018) and demographic survey reports from 2002, 2012, and 2017. The subnational hunger index was calculated using previously standardized undernutrition, stunting, wasting, and child mortality rates. Factor analysis and Pearson correlation with Alpha Cronbach coefficient were used to assess the validity and reliability. Further analysis using longitudinal panel data analysis with random effect models in STATA. Results: The total percentage of variance (56.32%) demonstrates indicator construct validity. Cronbach Alpha Coefisien > 0.90, according to reliability analysis. Pearson correlation between GHI-SN and Public Health Development Index (IPKM) for all and IPKM for children under five (IPKM) 2013 and 2018 and IKPS (Special Index Stunting Management) index is strong, with r: -0.8: -0.67, respectively. Conclusion: The study found the Subnational Global Hunger Index (GHI-SN) to be valid and reliable. It can be used as an alternative measurement tool in Indonesia to assess health inequality and hunger in children under five. Keyword: Children under five, GHI, Subnational hunger index

Abstract:

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The basic human need is to ensure adequate access to food without any combat, loss of productivity and cognitive impairment in the supply chain. When an individual is limited to proper procurement of food through various determinants there stems sustained hunger which is termed as ‘food insecurity’. The study portrays to identify the food insecure zones using indicators which are implemented methodically through remote sensing and artificial intelligence techniques. Madhya Pradesh being a semi arid region faces reduction in the agro ecosystem due to the climatic changes and rainfall impacts which are the key trends for demand of food and production thus resulting in risk of malnutrition and hunger. Tackling food shortage requires addressing both environmental and socio-demographic factors in order to minimize food insecurity. The spatial variation of rainfall over years along with significant land degradation affects the common cultivation pattern among the households. In this study, a neural network approach is employed to identify the zones that ensure less access to food using indicators which mainly focuses on child population below five years, hunger index measuring parameters like child stunted, child wasted, children undernourished, child mortality below five years along with supporting environmental factors such as land use/land cover, NDVI and rainfall prevailing in the study area. The result shows a bleak statistics of villages representing the hunger index score that are categorized into low, serious, alarming and extremely alarming estimating a count of 70, 73, 23 and 7 villages respectively in the entire study area.</p>

Abstract:

Sen’s essay concerns the existence of extensive hunger amidst unprecedented global prosperity in the contemporary world, but he argues that the problem would be decisively solvable if our response were no longer shaped by Malthusian pessimism. Effective famine prevention does not turn on food supply per head and the automatic mechanism of the market: there can be plenty of food while large sections of the population lack the means to obtain it. Effective famine prevention thus requires “entitlements.” Economically, governments can and should provide public employment programs so that those threatened by famine can be empowered to command food. Politically, democratic participation and a free press can work to ensure government accountability for famine prevention. The choice that Sen urges, however, is not for the state over the market—the experience of the Indian state of Kerala demonstrates that a voluntaristic approach can work as well or better than China’s compulsory “one child policy” in limiting the rapid population growth that contributes to world hunger. Rather, a reasoned solution to the problem of hunger must acknowledge the complementary importance of both well-functioning markets and open and democratic public action.

Abstract:

Abstract Objectives The relationship between parentally reported satiety responsiveness (i.e., trait) and laboratory-assessed satiety responsiveness (i.e., state) in children is not known, making it difficult to interpret and generalize lab-based findings. In addition, while many studies have shown weight-related differences in children's eating behaviors, less is known about appetitive traits that are present before obesity develops. Therefore, we examined associations between trait- and state-based satiety responsiveness among children with healthy weight who differed by familial risk for obesity. Methods Data from an ongoing longitudinal study were analyzed for 59 healthy-weight, 7–8 year-old children (BMI-for-age% < 85). Familial risk for obesity was determined by parental weight status as low-risk (N = 34, both parents’ BMIs < 25 kg/m2) or high-risk (N = 25, mothers’ BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2; fathers’ BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2). Parents completed the Children's Eating Behavior Questionnaire to assess satiety responsiveness (SR), a measure of children's tendency to stop eating once sated (trait). To assess state-based satiety, the Satiety Quotient (SQ) was calculated from an ad-libitum laboratory meal [(Pre-meal hunger – post-meal hunger)/meal intake in grams]. A higher SQ indicates a greater reduction in hunger per gram (i.e., better satiety responsiveness). Results Overall, SR and SQ were not correlated (P = 0.57). However, a linear regression controlling for pre-meal hunger and child BMI percentile revealed a risk status-by-SR interaction (β = 0.804, P = 0.04) such that SR was positively associated with SQ in high-risk children (95% CI [0.003, 0.430]), but there was no relationship between SR and SQ in low-risk children (95% CI [−0.203, 0.085]). No differences in SR, SQ, pre-meal hunger, or post-meal hunger were observed between risk groups. Conclusions Parentally reported (trait-based) satiety was positively associated with laboratory-assessed satiety, but only among healthy weight children at high-familial risk for obesity. Parents of children who are at high-risk for developing obesity may be more observant of children's appetitive traits compared to parents of low-risk children, and this may be helpful in the prevention of obesity.

Abstract:

AbstractChanging precipitation patterns caused by climate change are expected to have major impacts on food security and nutrition in agrarian areas in developing countries. However, the linkages between the duration and severity of precipitation shocks and their effects on child nutrition and household food security metrics remain underexplored. In this study, we used Feed the Future datasets from Ghana and Bangladesh to examine the impact of precipitation extremes on nutrition, measured by children’s height-for-age and weight-for-height Z-scores, and food security, measured by the Household Hunger Scale. We used a spatial error regression to control for the effects of spatial autocorrelation, and we found an association between precipitation shocks and household hunger in both Ghana and Bangladesh, as well as an association between higher rainfall and worse child nutrition in Ghana.

Abstract:

This article is about child obesity, school food, and the key role schools can play in creating environments that can enhance children’s eating patterns and lifestyle behaviors and, thus, can support the realization of children’s best interest in relation to food and health. In contrast to the traditional approach that frames the obesity problem as a personal issue or as a matter of parental responsibility, this article argues that the prevention of child obesity should be interpreted as a State obligation under both international and domestic laws. Analysis turns to the example of the Healthy, Hunger Kids Free Act, adopted in the United States in 2010 to provide healthier schools nutrition standards, and its most recent rollback by the Trump administration. As in such a case, whenever governments may fail to fulfill their obligations due to political changes or conflicting interests, the article argues that schools can become agents of change by fostering environments that increase children’s daily consumption of healthier food and promote physical activity.

On the (Complex) Topic of Chidren's RightsThe Convention on the Rights of the Child sets out the rights that must be realized for children to develop their full potential, free from hunger and want, neglect and abuse. It reflects a new vision of the child. Children are neither the property of their parents nor are they helpless objects of charity. They are human beings and are the subject of their own rights (UNICEFF statement regard-ing the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child,http://www.unicef.org/crc/index_protect-ing.html).

Abstract:

This study aimed: (1) to examine the sensitivity and specificity of the 2-item Hunger Vital Sign against the 18-item Household Food Security Survey Module (HFSSM) in identifying young children in food insecure households in emergency department and primary care sites and (2) to examine associations between food insecurity and adverse health conditions. We conducted cross-sectional surveys from 2009–2017 among 5039 caregivers of children age <48 months. We measured adverse child health by caregiver-reported perceived health, prior hospitalizations, and developmental risk (Parents’ Evaluation of Developmental Status). Analyses were conducted using covariate-adjusted logistic regression. Sensitivity and specificity of the Hunger Vital Sign against the HFSSM were 96.7% and 86.2%. Using the HFSSM, children in the emergency department had a 28% increase in the odds of experiencing food insecurity, compared to children in primary care, aOR = 1.28, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) = 1.08–1.52, p = 0.005. Using the Hunger Vital Sign, the increase was 26%, aOR = 1.26, 95% CI = 1.08–1.46, and p = 0.003. The odds of children’s adverse health conditions were significantly greater in food insecure households, compared to food secure households, using either HFSSM or the Hunger Vital Sign. Screening for food insecurity with the Hunger Vital Sign identifies children at risk for adverse health conditions in both primary care and emergency department sites, and can be used to connect families with resources to alleviate food insecurity.

Abstract:

This paper explores a new way of tackling global problems that are complex by nature using an approach that creates an environment in which people work together in a different way. A clear illustration of the power of this approach - based on state-of-the-art findings in the social sciences - in developing innovative solutions that lead to greater impact is chronic child hunger and the stunting that results from it, which is the focus for this paper. In many countries, stunting affects more than 30-40% of children, and is responsible for severe and long-lasting health, social and economic problems. We argue that the reason such problems persist is that as there is no single, simple solution, the response is often to create new structures, processes and systems, which adds counterproductive layers of complicatedness on top of the initial complexity of the challenge. Instead, what is needed is to shape the context and, as a result, the behaviours of all actors. We call this approach Smart Simplicity. Rather than add to complexity, the idea is to work with existing stakeholders and within existing structures and to foster collaboration. And while this paper focuses on chronic child hunger and stunting, this is an approach that can be applied to a wide range of complex problems.

Abstract:

Abstract Objectives Biennial nutrition surveys are conducted in the 9 refugee camps situated along the Thailand-Myanmar border to examine trends in acute and chronic malnutrition; food consumption patterns; and household hunger. Methods TBC and health agency partners conducted nutrition surveys of children 6–59 months (n = 3,780) in these camps May-November 2019. Random sampling was used to select households with children using TBC's Total Population Database. TBC trained and supervised health agencies and ethnic health departments in survey implementation. The WHO Growth Standards were used to analyze anthropometric data which were presented by prevalence. The Food Consumption, Nutritional Quality and Household Hunger Scale were used to determine diet diversity, quality and food deprivation. Results 2.2% of children surveyed were wasted (global acute malnutrition), considered “very low” (WHO). Wasting has remained unchanged since 2011. Although stunting prevalence was “high” (WHO) at 25.8% (range 13.6%-36.6%), there has been significant progress with a 15.0% reduction since 2011. Food Consumption Score was measure with 98.5% of households reporting an acceptable diet. While most households reported daily intake of protein and vitamin-rich foods, iron (heme) food sources were only consumed daily by about 1 in 3 households. Finally, 96.1%, 3.5% and 0.3% reported little to no hunger, moderate, and severe household hunger, respectively, similar to 2017 (97.7%, 2.2% and 0.1% reported little to no hunger, moderate hunger and severe hunger, respectively). Conclusions Stunting negatively impacts not only individuals but entire nations, currently affecting 162 million children under the age of 5 years. While stunting remains a challenge in the 9 Thailand-Myanmar border refugee camps, a continued downward trend indicates significant progress since 2011, with a 15% reduction. Therefore, supporting recommended maternal and infant and young child feeding practices, including emphasis on diet quality, particularly for heme iron-rich foods for women of reproductive age and protein-rich foods for children, in innovative ways remains a priority.

Abstract:

The findings of this paper emanates from a broader research that was conducted to examine the role of social grants on poor rural households in Ngqushwa Municipality in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. The study adopted a methodological triangulation approach in data collection and analysis. Five hundred (500) questionnaires were distributed among social grant beneficiaries who were selected using multi-stage sampling. These yielded quantitative results which were then complemented by qualitative results obtained from 25 in-depth interviews and 2 focus group discussions conducted with 16 participants. One of the objectives of the broader study was to explore the role of social grants in tackling the vulnerability of beneficiaries to hunger. The major findings of the study point to the fact that the greatest discretion of spending is on food. This has improved food accessibility and availability among beneficiaries and has most importantly reduced both child and adult hunger in households where social grants are injected. Social grants have no doubt reduced hunger and sufferings among beneficiaries. However with the economic downturn and escalating food prices, the nutritional value is lower and beneficiaries remain in poverty as they are not food secure.

Abstract When Germany declared war on the Soviet Union, for me, a child, the world turned upside down to become an alien condition of cruelty and death, hunger and fear. Evacuated, our family faced the War far away from Riga, our hometown, in Uzbekistan—with its strange and unfamiliar landscapes, exotic people, and very different lifestyle. Normal life ended long before the outbreak of World War II.

Abstract:

The G.V. 5 year and 11 months old boy, accused anorexia, headache with left hemicrany with onset of about 2 weeks. The only conclusive anamnestic aspect is a cranio-cerebral trauma that occurred 2 months before the onset of the symptomatology. The child was completely clinical, laboratory, imaging examined. There were no somatic changes or biological parameters. In diagnostic imaging, CT reveals a temporoparietal arachnoid cyst without deformation of the ventricular system of 5.5/4.5 cm. The postoperative evolution of the case is unsatisfactory, 2 months after surgery the child develops iatrogenic epilepsy, behavioral disorders with anxiety, anxious syndrome and severe anorexia, refractory to treatment, as well as neurological manifestations - transient hemiparesis. We mention the issue of certainty indication for surgical intervention in a case of arachnoid cyst and the possibility of impairment and/or damage to the hypothalamus as control of hunger, satiety or damage at the level of synaptic transmission.

AbstractObjectiveTo examine associations between food insecurity, excess body weight, psychosocial factors and food behaviours among low-income African-American families.DesignCross-sectional survey of participants in the baseline evaluation of the B’More Healthy Communities for Kids (BHCK) obesity prevention trial. We collected data on socio-economic factors, food source destinations, acquiring food, preparation methods, psychosocial factors, beliefs and attitudes, participation in food assistance programmes, anthropometry and food security. We used principal component analysis to identify patterns of food source destinations and logistic regression to examine associations.SettingFourteen low-income, predominantly African-American neighbourhoods in Baltimore City, MD, USA.SubjectsTwo hundred and ninety-eight adult caregiver–child (10–14 years old) dyads.ResultsOf households, 41·6 % had some level of food insecurity and 12·4 % experienced some level of hunger. Food-insecure participants with hunger were significantly more likely to be unemployed and to have lower incomes. We found high rates of excess body weight (overweight and obesity) among adults and children (82·8 % and 37·9 % among food insecure without hunger, 89·2 % and 45·9 % among food insecure with hunger, respectively), although there were no significant differences by food security status. Food source usage patterns, food acquisition, preparation, knowledge, self-efficacy and intentions did not differ by food security. Food security was associated with perceptions that healthy foods are affordable and convenient. Greater caregiver body satisfaction was associated with food insecurity and excess body weight.ConclusionsIn this setting, obesity and food insecurity are major problems. For many food-insecure families, perceptions of healthy foods may serve as additional barriers to their purchase and consumption.
