“…This condition may not be easy to achieve in poorer regions (34) . Certainly, many families still face the challenge of meeting minimum dietary standards for children (35) . This highlights the need for a broader understanding of complementary feeding practices in the context of food and nutrition insecurity (36,37) .…”

Objective: To describe the time trends and socioeconomic inequalities in infant and young child feeding practices in accordance with the Brazilian deprivation index (BDI). Design: This time-series study analysed the prevalence of multiple breastfeeding and complementary feeding indicators based on data from the Brazilian Food and Nutrition Surveillance System, 2008–2019. Prais-Winsten regression models were used to analyse time trends. Annual percent change (APC) and 95% Confidence Intervals were calculated. Setting: Primary health care services, Brazil. Participants: 911,735 Brazilian children under two years old. Results: Breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices differed between the extreme BDI quintiles. Overall, the results were more favourable in the municipalities with less deprivation (Q1). Improvements in some complementary feeding indicators were observed over time and evidenced such disparities: minimum dietary diversity (Q1: Δ 47.8% - 52.2%, APC +1.44, p=0.006), minimum acceptable diet (Q1: Δ 34.5% - 40.5%, APC +5.17, p=0.004), and consumption of meat and/or eggs (Q1: Δ 59.7% - 80.3%, APC +6.26, p<0.001; and Q5: Δ 65.7% - 70.7%, APC +2.20, p=0.041). Stable trends in exclusive breastfeeding and decreasing trends in the consumption of sweetened drinks and ultra-processed foods were also observed regardless the level of the deprivation. Conclusions: Improvements in some complementary food indicators were observed over time. However, the improvements were not equally distributed among the BDI quintiles, with children from the municipalities with less deprivation benefiting the most.

Introduction:The current study aimed to quantitatively synthesize available evidence regarding the seroprevalence of human toxocariasis in Latin America and the Caribbean.Methods:A systematic research involving six electronic databases was conducted using a research strategy that combined MeSH terms with free terms. Article selection and information extraction were performed using a double and independent approach. The Newcastle-Ottawa tool was used to assess the risk of bias in the included articles. The meta-analysis used the random-effects approach, with subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis for risk of bias also being performed.Results:We included 101 articles with a total of 31,123 participants. The studies were conducted between 1990 and 2022, with Brazil accounting for the largest number of studies (n = 37). The overall seroprevalence of human toxocariasis was 31.0% (95% CI: 27.0-35.0%, I2 = 99%). The prevalence of the main characteristics observed in seropositive patients were as follows: ocular toxocariasis (30.0%), asymptomatic (26.0%), and presence of dogs at home (68.0%). In addition, the seroprevalence was lower in studies including only adults than in those including children or both. In contrast, no differences in seroprevalences were found between studies conducted in the community and hospital.Conclusion:The overall seroprevalence of human toxocariasis in Latin America and the Caribbean was high. Notably, our findings showed that the seroprevalence was increased among populations who kept a dog at home but was decreased in populations comprising only adults. Our findings can be used to establish epidemiological surveillance strategies for the prevention and early identification of toxocariasis.
