Abstract Objectives Quality Diets for Better Health (QDBH) is a nutrition-sensitive agriculture project in southern Ethiopia that promotes vitamin A-rich orange-fleshed sweetpotato (OFSP) and community-based nutrition education to improve the quality of young child diets. The objective of this research is to examine the impact of the project and other predictors on caregiver knowledge of infant and young child feeding (IYCF) over time. Methods Communities were randomized to a control group and intervention groups receiving OFSP planting materials and community-based nutrition education. Househ

Abstract:

Introduction. Dietary diversity is defined as the amount of different food groups or foods that are consumed over a specific reference time. The human immune deficiency virus problem remains one of the main public health challenges, especially in low and middle income countries. Nutrition has been linked to both the transmission of human immune deficiency virus and poor outcomes related to human immune deficiency virus. Objective.

Abstract:

Background. HIV/AIDS and malnutrition are interrelated and exacerbate one another in a vicious cycle. As HIV infection progresses it causes catabolic state and increases susceptibility to other infections, leading to progressive aggravation of undernutrition. However, data are lacking in Ethiopia on determinants of undernutrition among people living with HIV on antiretroviral therapy. Therefore, this study aimed to assess determinants of undernutrition among adult HIV/AIDS patients in Northern Ethiopia. Method.

Abstract:

Sub-Saharan Africa remains to be the most heavily affected region by malnutrition, accounting for 23.8% share of the global burden. Undernutrition weakens the immune system, increases the susceptibility to infections, and may worsen the impact on various kinds of diseases. Our aim was to assess undernutrition and its associated factors among AIDS-infected adult patients from Asella, Oromia Region, Ethiopia. An institutional-based cross-sectional study design was employed from June to July 2018. A total number of 519 patients were selected for the proposed work. Data was entered into EpiData, c
