“…The main strength of this analysis is the ability to examine differences in dietary diversity by a variety of subgroups of interest, including gender and indigenous status. As indicated in the results and supported by the literature, enablers and barriers of dietary diversity vary signi cantly by gender and ethnicity, and the barrier analysis facilitated these necessary sub-analyses (5,43).…”

Introduction: Dietary diversity, a predictor of micronutrient adequacy, is low in rural Odisha, India. We conducted formative research to understand determinants of dietary diversity and to inform the design of an agriculture-nutrition intervention in rural Odisha. Methods: We conducted a sequential mixed-method study in June-July 2022. First, an abbreviated 24-hour dietary recall was conducted with 429 respondents from 11 villages to capture food consumption patterns. Then, a barrier analysis was conducted among 41 doers, who consumed ≥5 of 10 food groups, and 40 non-doers, who consumed <5 food groups, to identify enablers and barriers to dietary diversity. Closed-ended responses were analyzed using Fishers exact test. Open-ended responses were analyzed using rapid qualitative methods. Results: Participants in the barrier analysis included men and women from indigenous and non-indigenous groups. Most doers (88%) reported consuming 5 food groups in the past 24 hours. Non-doers reported consuming 2-4 food groups with almost half (47.5%) consuming 3 food groups in the past 24 hours. Accessibility to non-governmental policies, programmes or information channels was the only significant determinant of dietary diversity [p=0.016]. Qualitative results indicated that self-efficacy, access and affordability, perceived consequences of a diverse diet, and dietary practices associated with religious and cultural events influenced dietary diversity. Conclusion: These results indicate that individual, market, socio-cultural, and policy level factors were all determinants of dietary diversity in rural Odisha. Findings will be used to design a homestead food production intervention to target determinants for improved nutrition.

“…Dietary diversity is a simple indicator that acts as a proxy for micronutrient adequacy, a universally recognized dimension of diet quality, and is operationalized as the sum of foods or food groups consumed in a period of interest (3). Low dietary diversity is a key factor that contributes to poor nutritional status among women (4,5).…”

The Importance and Essentiality of Natural and Synthetic Chelators in Medicine: Increased Prospects for the Effective Treatment of Iron Overload and Iron Deficiency

The supply and control of iron is essential for all cells and vital for many physiological processes. All functions and activities of iron are expressed in conjunction with iron-binding molecules. For example, natural chelators such as transferrin and chelator–iron complexes such as haem play major roles in iron metabolism and human physiology. Similarly, the mainstay treatments of the most common diseases of iron metabolism, namely iron deficiency anaemia and iron overload, involve many iron–chelator complexes and the iron-chelating drugs deferiprone (L1), deferoxamine (DF) and deferasirox. Endogenous chelators such as citric acid and glutathione and exogenous chelators such as ascorbic acid also play important roles in iron metabolism and iron homeostasis. Recent advances in the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia with effective iron complexes such as the ferric iron tri-maltol complex (feraccru or accrufer) and the effective treatment of transfusional iron overload using L1 and L1/DF combinations have decreased associated mortality and morbidity and also improved the quality of life of millions of patients. Many other chelating drugs such as ciclopirox, dexrazoxane and EDTA are used daily by millions of patients in other diseases. Similarly, many other drugs or their metabolites with iron-chelation capacity such as hydroxyurea, tetracyclines, anthracyclines and aspirin, as well as dietary molecules such as gallic acid, caffeic acid, quercetin, ellagic acid, maltol and many other phytochelators, are known to interact with iron and affect iron metabolism and related diseases. Different interactions are also observed in the presence of essential, xenobiotic, diagnostic and theranostic metal ions competing with iron. Clinical trials using L1 in Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases, as well as HIV and other infections, cancer, diabetic nephropathy and anaemia of inflammation, highlight the importance of chelation therapy in many other clinical conditions. The proposed use of iron chelators for modulating ferroptosis signifies a new era in the design of new therapeutic chelation strategies in many other diseases. The introduction of artificial intelligence guidance for optimal chelation therapeutic outcomes in personalised medicine is expected to increase further the impact of chelation in medicine, as well as the survival and quality of life of millions of patients with iron metabolic disorders and also other diseases.
