Children and the Food Price Crisis

The sharp increase in food prices both in world markets and in local markets since 2006 has raised serious concerns about the food and nutrition situation of poor families in many countries. Particularly in urban areas, where people cannot grow their own food, household budgets have been squeezed. The rapid price increases are especially bad news for young children, as any disruption to their nutrition tends to have serious long-term implications, both in terms of stunting, and lower educational outcomes, affecting their earning potential in later life.

Identification of Independent Predictors for Underweight and Overweight in Adolescents with Overweight Mothers

Background: The nutrition and epidemiologic transition is characterised by changes in diet and activity patterns, leading to the development of a double burden of malnutrition. At the household level this often manifests as an overweight mother and underweight child. However, child and adolescent overweight and obesity also appear to be on the rise in transitional countries, although it is not well studied. Parent and child overweight are associated, and overweight children have a greater risk of becoming overweight adults.
