“…This is attributed to the suboptimal quality protein intake and poor environmental conditions, which includes chronic pathogenic exposure (bacterial and parasitic) compounded by family and societal stresses (Crane, Jones, & Berkley, 2015). Prolonged exposures to an impoverished environment can alter the enzymatic secretions in gut, leading to compromised digestion and absorption of the nutrients (Banwell et al, 1967). If the digestion and absorption of protein is low, it is likely that the protein and IAA requirements (especially the limiting IAA, such as lysine) of individuals from poor socio-economic environments will be higher than the recommendations made for a healthy population from safe or "clean" environments.…”

The recent National Family Health Survey (NFHS‐4, 2016) reports a national average of 18% for low birthweight (LBW) and 38% for stunting in children <5 years. Nutrition and environmental influences (chronic enteric pathogenic exposure through poor water, sanitation, and hygiene) are two critical factors that impact the health outcomes of the populxation. This is particularly relevant for vulnerable age groups such as pregnant women and children <5 years, who bear long‐lasting and intergenerational consequences of impoverished nutrition and suboptimal living conditions. The present review provides, for the first time, an analysis of indispensable amino acid (IAA) requirements for pregnant women, separately for the second and third trimesters, using protein accretion data from a recent Indian study. Furthermore, using these estimates for pregnancy, and the current IAA requirements for young children, the quality of protein was assessed in Indian diets consumed by pregnant women and children (1–3 and 4–6 years) from national representative rural National Nutrition Monitoring Bureau survey. The assessment was considered in the context of an adverse environment and in relation to outcomes such as LBW, stunting, and underweight. Finally, an assessment was made of the proportion of the surveyed population at risk of dietary quality protein inadequacy and implications for planning nutrition intervention programmes. Specifically, state‐wise estimates of the risk of quality protein inadequacy are provided, in addition to evaluations of additional dietary supplementation, which could inform the policy of supplementary nutrition programmes to improve health outcomes.

It is difficult to provide valid data with regard to changes in incidence and prevalence of acute pancreatitis in Germany. The lack of information is due to strict legal regulations to protect personal data, a certain lack of interest in epidemiological research and the lack of exact statistics of diseases treated in hospitals. The incidence of acute pancreatitis in other industrialized Western countries is about 10 new cases per year and 100,000 inhabitants. The increase of alcohol consumption over the last 30 years is associated with an increase of ethanol-induced pancreatitis. One may speculate that due to improved diagnostic possibilities, such as CT scan, cases where acute pancreatitis is diagnosed at autopsy are rare. Due to the increase in alcohol consumption it can be assume that the incidence and prevalence of chronic pancreatitis have increased in Germany similar to well-documented data from Denmark. Since alcohol consumption is slightly decreasing in Germany it is likely that the present incidence of about 10 cases of chronic pancreatitis per 100,000 inhabitants will also decrease.
