Moreover, iron deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) remain prevalent nutritional problems among adolescents. Observational studies have highlighted that the prevalence of CMD is higher among anemic individuals compared to their non-anemic counterparts. This study hypothesizes that preventing anemia through weekly iron and folic acid supplementation (WIFAS) among adolescent girls may have a positive effect on CMDs. However, the potential effect of WIFAS on CMDs remains unexplored. This critical evidence gap highlights the need for targeted research. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the effect of WIFAS on CMD among adolescent girls in the Central Ethiopia Region.</p><p><strong>Method: </strong>This study employed a school-based, parallel-cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) design, involving 306 adolescent girls across 12 clusters in the Silti and Kibet Districts of the Central Ethiopia Region. Participants were proportionally allocated, with 153 girls assigned to the intervention group (six clusters in Silti District) and 153 to the control group (six clusters in Kibet District). The outcome variable, CMD score, was treated as a continuous measure and assessed using the World Health Organization's (WHO) Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20). Data were collected at baseline and endline, with the latter conducted 6 months after the completion of the WIFAS. Linear mixed-effects models (LMEMs) were used to examine the association between WIFAS and CMD.</p><p><strong>Result: </strong>The findings of this study indicated that adolescents who received WIFAS had significantly lower CMD scores compared to those who did not (<i>β</i> = -1.12; 95% CI: -1.68, -0.55). The unadjusted mean difference was -0.88 (Model 1: <i>β</i> = -0.88; 95% CI: -1.47, -0.29). This association remained significant after adjusting for baseline CMD score (Model 2: <i>β</i> = -1.01; 95% CI: -1.58, -0.45), parental sociodemographic characteristics (Model 3: <i>β</i> = -1.12; 95% CI: -1.68, -0.55), and in the fully adjusted model (Model 4: <i>β</i> = -1.12; 95% CI: -1.68, -0.55).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The findings of this study revealed that WIFAS significantly reduced CMD scores among adolescent girls.

A cross-sectional survey among 70 food handlers from 9 food outlets was conducted to collect self-reported data on KAPs regarding hygiene, food handling, and safety practices using a structured questionnaire. About 90% of food handlers claimed adherence to hygiene protocols, no handlers were observed wearing aprons or hairnets, and only 11.1% used disposable gloves.

Although symptom presentation is diverse, symptoms primarily manifest as abdominal pain, bloating, and alterations to bowel habits, negatively impacting quality of life but without an associated increase in mortality risk. Disruptions to the gut-brain axis, the bidirectional communication system between the central nervous system and the enteric nervous system, are hypothesised to be at the core of irritable bowel syndrome. Dysfunction may also be associated with stress and anxiety, as well as dietary factors, among other aspects related to physical and social environment, genetic predisposition and medical history. Patients with irritable bowel syndrome have also demonstrated increased vulnerability to neurotransmitter imbalances, with abnormalities associated with changes in gastrointestinal motility, low-grade inflammation and visceral pain. Moreover, chronic stress and anxiety may significantly exacerbate symptoms through the upregulation of cortisol secretion, disrupting the gut microbiome and elevating visceral sensitivity. While the gut microbiome maintains the integrity of the gut-brain axis and intestinal barrier, decreases in its diversity heighten susceptibility to intestinal inflammation. Although there is currently no known cure for irritable bowel syndrome, research supports stress management and behavioural therapies, a low fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAP) diet, and probiotic supplementation as key interventions to alleviate symptoms. Additionally, faecal microbiota transplantation emerges as a promising intervention that addresses some of the limitations in current interventions.

We further observed tissue-specific alterations. For instance, alanine was decreased in the kidneys of rats on high salt and in hypertensive models. Beta-alanine was higher in the lung and renal cortex of rats on high salt, but lower in the cardiovascular system of hypertensive models. A high-sugar diet increased circulating levels of betaine and taurine, although its impact on tissues was less pronounced.
