Studies on dietary behaviour in breastfeeding (BF) and formula-feeding (FF) mothers are sparce and need to be updated regularly. During the COVID-19 pandemic, being metaboli-cally healthy and boosting the immune system by having a well-balanced diet is a matter of particular importance. We aimed to identify whether maternal eating patterns are consistent with nutritional standards for breastfeeding and non-pregnant non-breastfeeding healthy women during postpartum. Material and methods: Exclusively BF and exclusively FF mothers were recruited for this pilot study. Energy and nutrient intakes were estimated using 7-day food records. For qualitative and quantitative analysis of food intake, Dietetyk 2016 computer software was used, and data were compared with Polish standards. The obtained results were also compared between 2 study groups. Results: The following daily dietary references were used: estimated energy requirement (EER) – for energy, reference intake (RI) – for fats and carbohydrates, and estimated average requirement (EAR), adequate intake (AI), recommended maximum intake – for other tested nutrients. Dietary intake differed between BF and FF groups in terms of calories, carbohydrates, digestible carbohydrates, cholesterol, proteins, folate, and fluid consumption. All of them were higher in BF mothers. Maternal diet was characterised by insufficient intake of the following: energy, fibre, fluids, calcium, vitamin D, folates, and excessive consumption of iron. Conclusions: Maternal nutritional behaviours do not conform to dietary recommendations, and standards dedicated to exclusively FF mothers are required. There is a need for specialistic counselling pro-viding a valuable understanding about a safe and well-balanced diet for all postpartum mothers.","PeriodicalId":93580,"journal":{"name":"Journal of health inequalities","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83038657","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}

Essien, Haoua Inoua","doi":"10.5114/jhi.2022.113899","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5114/jhi.2022.113899","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Although significant progress has been made in the fight against HIV/AIDS, structural factors continue to undermine this progress, especially among racialized populations in many countries. For instance, African, Caribbean and Black (ACB) men in Canada face barriers – such as unemployment, stigma, and racism – that increase their vulnerability to health-related events including HIV/AIDS. However, there is a paucity of culturally appropriate responses to address these factors within the ACB population in Canada. Hence, this paper sought to identify the structural barriers that increase the vulnerability of ACB heterosexual men to HIV, and the strategies for building resilience in response to HIV. Material and methods: This paper is based on the qualitative findings from the weSpeak project, which was a mixed-methods study informed by community-based participatory research (CBPR). Qualitative data were collected from 63 participants in Ottawa, Canada through focus group discussions (FGD) and in-depth interviews (IDI). The participants included ACB heterosexual men, service providers, and policy/decision-makers. All interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed using NVivo Version 11. Results: The themes were: 1) systemic barriers to employment and income, 2) healthcare access and uptake, 3) stigma, discrimination and racism, 4) strategies for responding to HIV vulnerabilities. The participants highlighted the difficulties that new immigrants faced with recognition of their academic credentials, which then limits their income and job opportunities. Healthcare services were underutilized because of privacy issues, insufficient physicians and long waiting periods. Also, HIV-related stigma, anti-Black racism and stereotypes were factors that limited health and economic options for the participants. However, the participants acknowledged that health education, collaboration and engagement with faith-based leaders can reduce HIV vulnerabilities. Conclusions: The study highlights the role of structural factors in increasing HIV vulnerability among ACB heterosexual men, and the need for multilevel interventions to foster better a HIV response within the ACB community.
