However, data on diet and its relation to anemia in pregnant women in Côte d'Ivoire are scarce. The objective of this study was to determine prevalence and iron deficiency anemia associated factors in pregnant women in Abidjan. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 389 pregnant women attending antenatal care services at public health hospitals in Abidjan. Sociodemographic, obstetrical, and dietary data were collected. Blood samples taken by venipuncture were analyzed for hemoglobin and iron biomarkers. Data were subjected to descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression. 47.8% of the pregnant women tested were anemic, 25.8% and 30.4% had iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia, respectively. Based on AORs, the second and third trimesters of pregnancy (6.04 v 4.18, respectively), multiparity (13.18), skipping meals (3.05), inadequate energy (5.369), protein (2.74), and vitamin C (2.43) intakes and low dietary diversity (8.35) are the independent and significant determinants of iron deficiency anemia. The high prevalence of anemia among pregnant women in Abidjan reveals a real public health problem. Iron deficiency anemia is due to multiparity, gestational age, inadequate intake, low dietary diversity, and skipping meals.</p>","PeriodicalId":11511,"journal":{"name":"Ecology of Food and Nutrition","volume":"61 2","pages":"250-270"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39539048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Self-management of cardiovascular disease includes the consumption of nutrient-dense foods and prudent dietary patterns, such as the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) and Mediterranean Diet to decrease inflammation and stress. Over the last few decades, there has been a growing interest in food insecurity and health outcomes in the United States. While it is well established that diet plays a role in the development of cardiovascular disease, there is little known regarding the role of food insecurity and cardiovascular disease. As a result of unprecedented unemployment rates during and following the global COVID-19 pandemic, all dimensions of food insecurity have been impacted, including declines in food availability, accessibility, utilization, and stability. This paper summarizes the existing quantitative and qualitative literature exploring the social determinants of health (economics/poverty, employment, limited access to health care, and food) that affect the self-management of cardiovascular disease, including healthy nutrition, highlighting special considerations during the COVID-19 global pandemic.","PeriodicalId":11511,"journal":{"name":"Ecology of Food and Nutrition","volume":"60 5","pages":"596-611"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9632247/pdf/nihms-1844185.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39495583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As of August 2021, there were 214.8 million COVID-19 cases and nearly 4.5 million associated deaths (Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center 2021b). While some countries have made strides in containing the spread of the virus through quarantining, social distancing, and mandatory mask-wearing, many others have not. For example, there were 28 million cases and over 400,000 deaths in the U.S. at the end of January 2021 (Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center 2021a). As of August 2021, there are now 38 million confirmed cases and over 633,000 deaths in the U.S. (Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center 2021b). Although there are now vaccines to immunize millions, their rollout and availability have been problematic, even in countries with highly developed healthcare and public health systems. In the U.S. where the vaccine has been available since December 2020, only 52% of the population is fully immunized but this figure varies depending on the age group (e.g., older adults are more likely to be vaccinated) and where people live (e.g., higher rates of vaccination in the northeast). Vaccine hesitancy and skepticism have led to a lower vaccination rate of 108 doses per 100 people (Our World in Data 2021). Notwithstanding the speed of the development of these vaccines, the challenges of scaling up production on a global basis means that vaccine herd immunity will not happen any time soon (Weixal 2021). In an attempt to increase equity of access to COVID-19 vaccines, the WHO, Gavi, and CEPI have partnered to create COVAX, a public-private coalition of governmental organization and philanthropists dedicated to vaccine donation and price negotiation for lower-income countries (Gavi, The Vaccine Alliance 2021a).
