This study was designed to evaluate the covid-19 influenced changes in food commodity prices and estimate its impact on consumers' behaviour. Methods: The study design captured eight states across various geographical zones in Nigeria. The methodology consists of primary data collection of food price differentials from traders in 11 urban markets and the corresponding consumers purchasing behaviours. September 2019, May-June, 2020 and March 2021 were designated as the pre-covid-19 lockdown (PrCL), the peak of nationwide lockdown (PNL) and post covid-19 lockdown (PoCL) reference points. Results: Results revealed a significant increase in price of staple foods at the peak of national lockdown (PNL) and post-covid-19 lockdown in Nigeria (Rice -1.8-2.2kg;PrCL =$2.10- 3.67;PNL=$2.62-4.72;PoCL =$2.62-6.56;Wheat -1.1-1.9kg;PrCL =$0.71-1.84;PNL=$0.79-2.62;PoCL =$0.92-3.94;Maize - 1.3-1.9kg;PrCL =$0.39-1.44;PNL=$0.52-1.97;PoCL =$0.60- 2.76;Garri - 1.35-1.5kg;PrCL =$0.92-1.84;PNL=$0.92-2.36;PoCL =$0.92-2.89;Yam -0.9-3kg;PrCL =$1.97-3.94;PNL=$1.97-5.25;PoCL =$1.97-5.25;Beans -1.2-2kg;PrCL =$0.66-2.10;PNL=$1.05- 2.49;PoCL =$1.44-2.49;Groundnut -1.2-1.6kg;PrCL =$0.79-2.36;PNL=$0.92-2.36;PoCL =$1.44-2.36;common leafy vegetables - 0.2-0.4kg;PrCL =$0.13-0.31;PNL=$0.13-0.59;PoCL =$0.24- 0.52;common non-leafy vegetables 0.2-1kg;PrCL =$0.13-0.79;PNL=$0.26-2.10;PoCL =$0.26-2.10;Mackerel and Scumbia fish 0.36-1kg;PrCL =$0.79-3.67;PNL=$1.57-3.67;PoCL =$1.31-3.94;Beef -1kg;PrCL =$2.62-4.20;PNL=$2.62-6.30;PoCL =$2.49-5.25;A crate of egg -2.8-3.2kg;PrCL =$1.57-2.62;PNL=$2.62-3.94;PoCL =$3.15-3.94).

This study aimed to assess the agreement between measured (reference) height and height predicted from published equations derived from measurement of body segments, in a South African public hospital setting. Design: A descriptive cross-sectional study was undertaken. Setting: Medical, surgical, pulmonary, orthopaedic, cardiovascular and general wards at three public hospitals in Bloemfontein. Subjects: Admitted patients, 20–50 years old; able to stand upright without assistance and without medical conditions or treatments affecting height. Outcome measures: Stadiometer height, recumbent height, arm span, demi-span, ulna length, knee height, tibia length, fibula length and foot length were measured with standardised techniques. Height, predicted by 12 published equations, was compared with stadiometer height by 95% confidence intervals (CI) and Bland–Altman analysis. Results: The median stadiometer height of the sample (n = 141; 38.3% female; median age 38.8 years, IQR 33.3–44.4 years) was 165.5 cm (males 169.3 cm; females 158.4 cm). Only a set of equations based on knee height and standardised on a large population of adults < 65 years in the United States estimated height without statistically significant deviance from the stadiometer height. Conclusions: Most standardised equations applied to hospitalised adults in a South African public health setting resulted in height estimations that differed significantly from height. Thus, equations standardised on other populations may not be suitable for the South African population, possibly due to differences in genetic and environmental factors.","PeriodicalId":45938,"journal":{"name":"South African Journal of Clinical Nutrition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/16070658.2021.1932179","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43936947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Method: A quantitative and cross-sectional design, using a researcher-developed questionnaire, was used to collect data from 94 mother and child pairs who were admitted to hospital for malnutrition. Stata statistical software was used to analyse the data. Results: The ages of the mothers ranged from 17 to 48 years. Most (83%) lived in dwellings that had electricity, and 92% had running water in their households. Some 83% were not married and 97% were unemployed. Mothers between the ages of 21 and 25 years had the highest number of children with malnutrition (37%, n = 34), followed by mothers between the ages of 26 and 30 years (28%, n = 26). Severe acute malnutrition was experienced by children whose mothers were comparatively young (age group 16–20), accounting for 44.4% of malnourished children. The association between category of malnutrition and maternal age was not statistically significant. Conclusion: Although malnutrition of the children cuts across all maternal age groups, severe acute malnutrition tends to occur among children whose mothers are either young or relatively older, which suggests a need for specific community-based interventions among these groups of mothers.","PeriodicalId":45938,"journal":{"name":"South African Journal of Clinical Nutrition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/16070658.2021.1921899","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42811349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results: The majority of the participants mentioned previous exposure to messages similar to the revised, draft SA-PFBDGs mainly from healthcare workers, health facilities and the media. Cultural differences and taste preferences contributed to poor following of healthy eating guidelines, specifically regarding lean meats and chicken, dry beans, split peas, lentils and soya, salt, fat and sugar. With regard to dietary variety and fresh fruit and vegetables, availability and financial barriers existed. Understanding nutritional needs of children, supportive communities and education were strong enabling factors for following of the revised, draft SA-PFBDGs. Conclusion: Overall, the guidelines were familiar and understood. However, the comprehension of some guidelines must be clarified further, specifically those pertaining to sugar, salt and fat.

Exposure to guidelines with similar messages, barriers and enablers to following of the guidelines were also assessed. Design: A descriptive cross-sectional qualitative study was conducted. Data were collected from nine focus-group discussions (FGDs) conducted in isiXhosa, English and Afrikaans, resulting in 65 participants, 20 from formal areas and 45 from informal areas. Setting: Stellenbosch Municipality (Stellenbosch, Pniel and Franschhoek) Subjects: The study population included mothers/caregivers older than 18 years, who consented to participate. Results: This study revealed that participants expressed a general understanding of the core messages contained in the revised, draft SA-PFBDGs. Misinterpretation arose regarding certain guidelines as a result of ambiguity. Participants were familiar with and recognised the majority of the concepts conveyed owing to previous exposure, mostly from healthcare facilities and the media. Financial constraints were identified as the biggest barrier to following the guidelines, while perceived enablers included receiving education on the guidelines as well as visual portrayal thereof. Conclusion: Following field-testing, it is clear that the draft, revised SA-PFBDGs for the age group 12–36 months are appropriate. Minor rewording is required to enhance understanding. Effective dissemination of the guidelines through multiple communication platforms is recommended.","PeriodicalId":45938,"journal":{"name":"South African Journal of Clinical Nutrition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/16070658.2020.1831199","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43919916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
