Abstract:

This work examines patterns of under-nutrition prevalence, based on data gathered through a growth monitoring programme run as part of a health information system by the Zimbabwean government. Most of the thesis makes use of secondary data - collected by other investigators for different purposes - but use is also made of a questionnaire survey of households in the Buhera district of Zimbabwe. Patterns of attendance and bias are assessed initially through a comparison of health information system statistics with census and resulted in an independent, community-based anthropometric survey.

Abstract:

Reducing maternal and child mortality was established as a global priority with the signing of the Millennium Declaration in September 2000. Neonatal vitamin A supplementation and very early breastfeeding initiation are scalable interventions which may improve infant survival. Although breastfeeding has proven benefits for infant health, the potential health consequences of breastfeeding for HIV-infected women are not well studied. In paper one, “The effect of neonatal vitamin A supplementation on morbidity and mortality at 12 months: A randomized trial”, we assessed the efficacy of neonata

Abstract:

The incidence of childhood and adolescent overweight in the United States is increasing at an alarming rate and is now considered the most prevalent nutritional disease of children and adolescents in this country. Although much attention has focused on genetic research, and heredity is an unarguable component of obesity, the role of the environment must be considered because genetic changes over entire populations are not likely to occur at such a rapid rate. In observing todays environment where energy-dense foods abound, restaurant dining has increased, and children are more sedentary tha

Abstract:

Introduction: In recent years the idea of inequality has been revitalised in the global discourse of development. Despite experiencing significant achievements in addressing the Millennium Development Goal, the fight against inequality remained an unfinished agenda. Disparities in child and maternal health & nutrition exist in almost every low and middle-income country. The global community is increasingly recognising the fact that while a country may be on track to achieve specific targets, the situation concerning some subgroups of the population may remain the same or even worsen over time.

Abstract:

This thesis initially reviews the current state of economic theory on the intra-household allocation of resources. It examines the 'game theory' framework within which the models are constructed, suggesting that such a framework, as yet, has been unable to deal with the complex combination of power, altruism, and trust that lead to the conflictual/cooperative nature of spousal relationships. It examines the problems of constructing indices of power, and suggests a way in which, in this particular case, some of the problems may be overcome.

Significant health consequences are linked to obesity, including type two diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular disease, cancers, and psychological disorders (Pandita et al., 2016; Xu & Mishra, 2018). Obesity comorbidities, previously presented in later adulthood, now emerge in younger populations (Pandita et al., 2016).
