  • The Social Stratification of Availability, Affordability, and Consumption of Food in Families with Preschoolers in Addis Ababa : The EAT Addis Study in Ethiopia
  • 2020
  • Ingår i: Nutrients. - : MDPI AG. - 2072-6643. ; 12:10
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The aim of this study was to understand the quality of diet being consumed among families in Addis Ababa, and to what extent social stratification and perceptions of availability and affordability affect healthy food consumption. Data were collected from 5467 households in a face-to-face interview with mothers/caretakers and analyzed using mixed effect logistic regression models. All family food groups, except fish were perceived to be available by more than 90% of the participants. The food groups cereals/nuts/seeds, other vegetables, and legumes were considered highly affordable (80%) and were the most consumed (>75%). Households with the least educated mothers and those in the lowest wealth quintile had the lowest perception of affordability and also consumption. Consumption of foods rich in micronutrients and animal sources were significantly higher among households with higher perceived affordability, the highest wealth quintile, and with mothers who had better education. Households in Addis Ababa were generally seen to have a monotonous diet, despite the high perceived availability of different food groups within the food environment. There is a considerable difference in consumption of nutrient-rich foods across social strata, hence the cities food policies need to account for social differences in order to improve the nutritional status of the community.

  • Social Stratification, Diet Diversity and Malnutrition among Preschoolers : A Survey of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
  • 2020
  • Ingår i: Nutrients. - : MDPI AG. - 2072-6643. ; 12:3
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • In Sub-Saharan Africa, being overweight in childhood is rapidly rising while stunting is still remaining at unacceptable levels. A key contributor to this double burden of malnutrition is dietary changes associated with nutrition transition. Although the importance of socio-economic drivers is known, there is limited knowledge about their stratification and relative importance to diet and to different forms of malnutrition. The aim of this study was to assess diet diversity and malnutrition in preschoolers and evaluate the relative importance of socioeconomic resources. Households with children under five (5467) were enrolled using a multi-stage sampling procedure. Standardized tools and procedures were used to collect data on diet, anthropometry and socio-economic factors. Multivariable analysis with cluster adjustment was performed. The prevalence of stunting was 19.6% (18.5-20.6), wasting 3.2% (2.8-3.7), and overweight/obesity 11.4% (10.6-12.2). Stunting, overweight, wasting and limited diet diversity was present in all social strata. Low maternal education was associated with an increased risk of stunting (Adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 1.8; 1.4-2.2), limited diet diversity (AOR: 0.33; 0.26-0.42) and reduced odds of being overweight (AOR: 0.61; 0.44-0.84). Preschoolers in Addis Ababa have limited quality diets and suffer from both under- and over-nutrition. Maternal education was an important explanatory factor for stunting and being overweight. Interventions that promote diet quality for the undernourished whilst also addressing the burgeoning problem of being overweight are needed.

  • Social Stratification of Children's Diet and Nutrition: Understanding Women's Situation in Addis Ababa
  • 2020
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Background: Childhood undernutrition is the cause of nearly half of all deaths in under-five children. In sub-Saharan African countries, this problem is further complicated by the rising prevalence of overweight. Mothers play a key role in child care and nutrition, however, in cities that are undergoing rapid social and economic changes, little is known about their lived experiences and challenges. Moreover, little is known about the influence of the neighbourhood food environment and family socio-economic conditions of food acquisition and intake in sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, the study aims to understand the nexus between mothers’ child care and feeding experiences, neighbourhood food environment, diet diversity, and family socioeconomic status. Methods: A mixed qualitative and quantitative study design was used. The qualitative component involved thirty-six in-depth interviews with mothers who had children under the age of five years. A thematic analysis approach was used to analyse verbatim transcripts. For the quantitative component, two rounds of cross-sectional household surveys were conducted. The sample was drawn from all districts of Addis Ababa; a total of 5467 households with mother-child pairs. Data were analysed using a generalised estimating equation (GEE) and mixed-effect logistic regression model. Results: Urban mothers are under pressure to ensure their child gets adequate care and food; the changes in their environment owing to the reconstruction of city and migration further limit their ability to do so. Mothers expressed that their decision of what to feed their children is influenced by children’s preferences, perceived safety of the food, familiarity with the food, and affordability.Children receiving the recommended minimum diet diversity totaled 59.9% (58.5–61.3). Having an adequately diverse diet was associated with having an educated mother, and being from the wealthier and more food-secure households. Animal source and vitamin-A-rich food groups are the least affordable and consumed food groups in the study settings. Families with uneducated mothers, in the lowest wealth group and those who perceived food groups to be unaffordable, consumed a less diverse diet.The prevalence of stunting was 19.6% (18.5–20.6) and that of over-weight/obesity was 11.4% (10.6–12.2). Maternal education level was associated with both forms of malnutrition; children with uneducated mothers were more likely to be stunted (AOR: 1.8; 1.4–2.2) and less likely to be overweight/obese (AOR: 0.61; 0.44–0.84), while being from the highest wealth household and from a severely food insecure household were associated with a higher likelihood of obesity and stunting, respectively. Conclusion: Child nutritional outcomes and diet quality vary by the socioeconomic status of the family; particularly that of mothers. Therefore, efforts to improve diet and nutritional outcomes of children need to consider mechanisms to strongly support mothers.

  • A decade of maize yield gap studies in sub-Saharan Africa : how are farm-level factors considered?
  • 2024
  • Ingår i: International Journal of Agricultural Sustainability. - : Routledge. - 1473-5903 .- 1747-762X. ; 22:1
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The study of yield gaps has become more complex, prompting the use of varied approaches to measure yields and a wider range of factors to explain these gaps. In the Global North, the focus is on precision farming, whereas in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), a broader perspective is necessary due to pronounced variability in farmland conditions. While biogeophysical and management factors have been traditional focal points in yield gap analyses, socio-economic and institutional factors are increasingly recognized as significant, especially in SSA. This review synthesizes research from the past decade in SSA that integrates biogeophysical, management, farm characteristics, and institutional factors in yield gap discussions. The findings indicate a slow shift in including socio-economic factors, with management, particularly nutrient supply and crop management, remaining predominant. However, there is a growing trend towards methodological diversity, such as the adoption of remote sensing and GIS in recent years. Case studies from Kenya and Ghana, utilizing field surveys, interviews, panel data, and spatial analysis, highlight how a multifaceted approach can enhance our understanding of the various elements influencing maize yield gaps in SSA.

  • Residential Food Environment, Household Wealth and Maternal Education Association to Preschoolers' Consumption of Plant-Based Vitamin A-Rich Foods : The EAT Addis Survey in Addis Ababa
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: Nutrients. - : MDPI AG. - 2072-6643. ; 14:2
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Vitamin A deficiency is common among preschoolers in low-income settings and a serious public health concern due to its association to increased morbidity and mortality. The limited consumption of vitamin A-rich food is contributing to the problem. Many factors may influence children's diet, including residential food environment, household wealth, and maternal education. However, very few studies in low-income settings have examined the relationship of these factors to children's diet together. This study aimed to assess the importance of residential food availability of three plant-based groups of vitamin A-rich foods, household wealth, and maternal education for preschoolers' consumption of plant-based vitamin A-rich foods in Addis Ababa. A multistage sampling procedure was used to enroll 5467 households with under-five children and 233 residential food environments with 2568 vendors. Data were analyzed using a multilevel binary logistic regression model. Overall, 36% (95% CI: 34.26, 36.95) of the study children reportedly consumed at least one plant-based vitamin A-rich food group in the 24-h dietary recall period. The odds of consuming any plant-based vitamin A-rich food were significantly higher among children whose mothers had a higher education level (AOR: 2.55; 95% CI: 2.01, 3.25), those living in the highest wealth quintile households (AOR: 2.37; 95% CI: 1.92, 2.93), and in residentials where vitamin A-rich fruits were available (AOR: 1.20; 95% CI: 1.02, 1.41). Further research in residential food environment is necessary to understand the purchasing habits, affordability, and desirability of plant-based vitamin A-rich foods to widen strategic options to improve its consumption among preschoolers in low-income and low-education communities.

  • Analysing Diet Composition and Food Insecurity by Socio-Economic Status in Secondary African Cities
  • 2023
  • Ingår i: Transforming Urban Food Systems in Secondary Cities in Africa. - Cham : Springer International Publishing. - 9783030930714 - 9783030930721 ; , s. 191-230
  • Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This chapter takes as its starting point theorizing around nutrition and food system transitions thought to be increasingly occurring in urban Africa, and how this may be linked to a growing non-communicable disease burden. We focus specifically on the secondary city context by analysing household survey data gathered from six cities across Ghana, Kenya and Uganda during 2013–2015. We asked how diet composition and diversity, food sources and food security varied by socio-economic status, using expenditure and demographic data to create a proxy for household well-being. In this way, we investigate one of the claimed keystones affecting urban food systems and dietary health in sub-Saharan Africa—that of obesogenic urban food environments. Our findings indicate that the socio-economic status of a household was the most important factor influencing household dietary diversity and food security status, i.e. better-off households were more likely to feel food secure and eat from a greater variety of food groups. In addition, the number of income sources was additionally associated with higher dietary diversity. We also found that a household’s involvement in agriculture had only a small positive effect on food security in one city and was associated with a reduction in dietary diversity scores. Our findings emphasize the importance of supporting aggregated national and international statistics on agricultural production and trade with detailed local analyses that focus on actual household food access and consumption. We also see reasons to be cautious about making causal claims regarding consumption change and obesogenic urban environments as the major contributor to a rising obesity and non-communicable disease burden in Africa.

  • Non-Farm Activities and Impacts beyond the Economy of Rural Households in Vietnam: A Review and Link to Policies
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: Sustainability (Switzerland). - : MDPI AG. - 2071-1050. ; 13:10182, s. 1-1
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Rural households in Asian developing countries such as Vietnam have been participating in non-farm activities for decades, yet impacts beyond the economy of these households are little understood. Using evidence from available literature and two case studies from rural Vietnam, this paper exposes a range of socio-cultural impacts of non-farm activities. An increased social tension driven by a widening economic gap between poor and better-off households or ethnic majority and minority groups was the most frequently reported impact in the literature. The case studies reveal additional impacts, notably those associated with public security, preservation of local culture, and safety of farm households with migrants during and following climate-related disasters. An increasing number of young migrants who exited family farms to access non-farm jobs partially led to the latter two impacts. The rural development and poverty reduction policies of Vietnam enacted in the past two decades (2000–2020) that promoted livelihood diversification had limited measures addressing socio-cultural impacts of non-farm activities. An amendment of these two categoriesof policies for the implementation beyond 2020 or a strengthened synergy in implementation with other categories of policy such as social policies is necessary to ensure sustainable rural development in Vietnam.
