“…The nutrient content of the extracted data of lactating women was estimated using the Food Composition Tables for Bangladesh (FCTB) (Shaheen et al, 2022 ) and the Indian Food Composition Tables (IFCT) (Longvah et al, 2017 ). In the case of the foods that were not available on the local food composition table, the IFCT was followed.…”

Lactating women of low‐ and middle‐income countries are prone to develop deficiencies in essential nutrients due to various demographic and socioeconomic components. This study aimed to estimate the adequacy of dietary intake and the determinants of diet quality of lactating women in rural Bangladesh. One‐day dietary recall (24‐Hour recall) data of 973 lactating women were obtained from the Bangladesh Integrated Household Survey (BIHS) 2018–2019. Nutrient adequacy was determined using the Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) cut‐point approach. The molar ratios of phytate to zinc, calcium, and iron were calculated. Mean Adequacy Ratio (MAR) was calculated to measure diet quality, and multiple linear regression analysis was performed to assess the sociodemographic determinants of MAR. While the intakes of protein and carbohydrate were equal to/above the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) among most of the subjects, intakes of total energy and fat were below the reference intakes for 74.4% and 98.3%, respectively. Nutrient adequacy remained unmet for riboflavin, calcium, vitamin A, and folate among most (87.2%–97.6%) of the study population, and the mean (SD) MAR was 0.72 (0.12). Cereals were the major contributor of energy and B vitamins, while protein and iron mainly came from plant‐based sources. The molar ratio of phytate to iron was greater than the critical limit among most respondents. Maternal Body Mass Index (BMI) (beta = 0.003, p = .014) and education level (beta = 0.017, p = .038) were associated with their diet quality. The diet of most lactating women in rural Bangladesh indicates the inadequacy of several micronutrients. This can lead to a worsening of the double burden of malnutrition in women. Lactating women should be given special consideration when designing food and nutrition programs for reproductive women in rural Bangladesh.

“…The R-R system had the second highest calorie yield and R-W-MB the second highest protein yield. Higher calorie yield in the R-R system was due to the high-calorie content in rice grain (11.2%), while higher protein yield in the R-W-MB system was due to the high protein content in mung bean (23.1%) ( Shaheen et al, 2013 ). Crop diversification, from R-R to R-M and R-W-MB systems, can provide balanced nutritional diets with higher protein and calorie ( Jat et al, 2020 , Jat et al, 2018 ).…”

“…In addition to REY, grain protein and calorie equivalent yields were also calculated using the grain protein and calorie conversion factors reported in Bangladesh’s Food Composition Tables ( Shaheen et al, 2013 ). Grain protein of 6.6 g, 11.2 g, 9.9 g and 23.7 g per 100 g and grain calories of 345 Kcal, 344 Kcal, 344 Kcal and 351 Kcal per 100 g were used for rice, wheat, maize and mung bean, respectively, to calculate grain protein (kg ha −1 ) and grain calorie (Gcal ha −1 ) equivalent yields.…”

“…Raw food weight was calculated by using appropriate conversion factors [ 13 ]. All food items were grouped into ten major food groups based on standard approaches [ 14 – 16 ]: cereals (boiled rice, puffed rice), vegetables (plants, vegetables, leafy vegetables), pulses (pulses and legumes), meat (chicken and meat products), milk (milk and milk products), beverage (tea, coffee), eggs, fruits and others (ice-cream, chocolate). At the household level, fish intake (seafood, finfish and shellfish) was also ranked by type of fish most commonly consumed based on participant recall for the past 5 days, 3 months and 1 year.…”

Adolescent girls in aquaculture ecozones at risk of nutrient deficiency in Bangladesh development and validation of an integrated metric

Background This study developed and validated an integrated metric that enhances understanding of linkages between agro-ecological and socio-economic factors that are important for explaining nutritional wellbeing in relation to fish consumption; especially among adolescent girls who are at risk of nutritional deficiency in Bangladesh. Currently, there is no metric that takes account of environmental, cultural and economic contexts when considering fish consumption and dietary health from a policy perspective. Methods The study was designed as a bi-seasonal survey, repeated in the same population of adolescent girls recruited during the dry and wet seasons. Sampling was stratified by five settings (four aqua-agroecological zones and one processing plant community), with 60 girls recruited in each. Associations between candidate predictors (salinity, diet diversity, religion, socio-economic status and women’s autonomy score) and dependent variables representing nutritional outcomes (anthropometry, omega-3 index and micronutrient levels) were explored in multivariable regressions. The fitted model with its predictors was validated, and a risk score derived from responses to a few short questions on religion, salinity zone, female autonomy, diet diversity and tilapia consumption. Results The omega-3 index showed the clearest distinction between seasons, by salinity and religion. Higher female autonomy, religion (being Hindu rather than Muslim), geographical location (living in a high or mid-saline area), and a higher dietary diversity were the strongest predictors of whole blood omega-3 index. The c-index for the prognostic model was 0.83 and 0.76 in the wet and dry season respectively, indicating good predictive accuracy. There appeared to be a clear trend in risk scores differentiating between those ‘chronically at risk’ and those ‘never at risk’. Conclusions Observational data on different aquaculture-ecozones defined by salinity enabled us to establish linkages between seasonal fish intake, religion, diet diversity, female autonomy and nutritional wellbeing. The purpose of the metric is to reveal these specific linkages in practice. This tool should improve targeting of timely, preventative and cost-effective nutritional interventions to adolescent girls most at-risk from low omega-3 levels in communities where seafood is produced.
