“…Most studies were quantitative and observational in design [ 48 , 50 – 54 , 56 , 57 , 59 , 61 – 64 , 68 , 70 – 82 ], two used quantitative methods and implementation science in design [ 67 , 83 ], six used qualitative study design [ 39 , 49 , 58 , 60 , 69 , 84 ], and one study was a mixed-method research [ 66 ]. Studies on vulnerability in child health have examined the linkages between children’s vulnerability, infant mortality [ 48 , 62 ], sudden infant death [ 56 ], acute respiratory infection symptoms [ 61 , 71 ], poor health outcomes [ 70 , 75 ], nutritional status [ 53 , 57 ], and premature birth outcomes [ 55 ]. Drachler and colleagues, in their study, developed and validated a social vulnerability index (SVI) [ 52 ].…”

Yuan et al defined vulnerability as the ‘combination of multiple factors, including fragile economic foundation, extreme poverty, poor market accessibility, stagnant maternal education level, rapidly inflated population, and serious armed conflict’ [ 62 ].…”

Vulnerability in maternal, new-born, and child health in low- and middle-income countries: Findings from a scoping review

et al. 2022

Objectives To identify and synthesise prevailing definitions and indices of vulnerability in maternal, new-born and child health (MNCH) research and health programs in low- and middle-income countries. Design and setting Scoping review using Arksey and O’Malley’s framework and a Delphi survey for consensus building. Participants Mothers, new-borns, and children living in low- and middle-income countries were selected as participants. Outcomes Vulnerability as defined by the authors was deduced from the studies. Results A total of 61 studies were included in this scoping review. Of this, 22 were publications on vulnerability in the context of maternal health and 40 were on new-born and child health. Definitions used in included studies can be broadly categorised into three domains: biological, socioeconomic, and environmental. Eleven studies defined vulnerability in the context of maternal health, five reported on the scales used to measure vulnerability in maternal health and only one study used a validated scale. Of the 40 included studies on vulnerability in child health, 19 defined vulnerability in the context of new-born and/or child health, 15 reported on the scales used to measure vulnerability in child health and nine reported on childhood vulnerability indices. As it was difficult to synthesise the definitions, their keywords were extracted to generate new candidate definitions for vulnerability in MNCH. Conclusion Included studies paid greater attention to new-born/ child vulnerability than maternal vulnerability, with authors defining the terms differently. A definition which helps in improving the description of vulnerability in MNCH across various programs and researchers was arrived at. This will further help in streamlining research and interventions which can influence the design of high impact MNCH programs. Scoping review registration The protocol for this review was registered in the open science framework at the registered address (https://osf.io/jt6nr).

“…Social vulnerability is the product of social inequalities and inequalities related to the built environment and socially vulnerable populations are less likely to flourish or recover following events (e.g., illness, family restructuring, natural disasters) [24]. Social vulnerability indices have been used within diverse contexts including chronic disease [25], drowning deaths [24], infectious disease [26], mental health [27, 28], nutritional status [29], and physical fitness in children [30]. This study argues that the domains used to measure human social vulnerability apply to dog conditions, as individual characteristics of impounded dogs reflect environmental and social conditions at the community level given the degree to which dogs rely on humans in the U.S.…”

A retrospective spatial analysis of dog intake data from an open admission animal shelter in Georgia was conducted to explore patterns within dog demographics and outcomes by pickup location or by the home address of the person who transferred ownership rights of the dog to Athens-Clarke County Animal Control during the period 2014–2016. Spatial analysis found the relationship between these intake locations and the final disposition of the dogs to be non-random, suggesting social and environmental influences on distribution. Statistically significant clusters were identified using the Getis-Ord Gi* statistic. This study found statistically significant hot spots (i.e., areas with higher than expected values) and cold spots (i.e., areas with lower than expected values) for the intake of dogs with known health issues, physically neglected dogs, juveniles, and adults. Only statistically significant hot spots were found for socially neglected dogs and dogs whose final disposition was euthanasia due to severe health or behavioral issues. Given the close relationship between humans and dogs, this study explores the association of impounded dog clusters and a previously developed social vulnerability index. Social vulnerability is the product of social inequalities and inequalities related to the human-built environment. The social vulnerability index provides one tool for understanding the differences in characteristics of dogs from different intake locations. Results of this study indicate the utility of non-animal focused data as a planning tool for community programs and to allow for efficient allocation of limited resources for veterinary and other community outreach programs.

“…In Brazil, the situation does not differ from the world reality, although an improvement of the indicators related to the nutritional profile is observed. Data from the National Demographic and Health Survey revealed prevalence of malnutrition due to short stature in children under five years old, and the Northeast is among the regions with the worst rates found (3) . Besides to malnutrition, another problem related to nutritional disorders refers to the growing number of overweight and obese children in the pre-school and school-age groups (4) .…”

“…Follow-up is considered a priority in children up to 10 years old. Moreover, in the Brazilian Northeast, physical growth is considered one of the worst health indicators among children under 24 months, which raises the importance of conducting research in this region (3) . This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional status of children attending public daycare centers.…”

Objective: to evaluate the nutritional status of assisted children in municipal public daycare centers. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, carried out with 137 children between zero and 24 months old., The anthropometric measures recommended by the Ministry of Health were used for data collection, including height, weight, and body mass index, and, descriptive and inferential statistics were used for analysis. Results: more than half of the children were eutrophic (70.7%), but 24.1% were overweight, most of them were male. Pictures of thinness (5.2%) were also identified in children between six and 24 months old. Conclusion: the results of the nutritional evaluation indicate a trend towards reduction of malnutrition rates and elevation of overweight in childhood, which reinforces the importance of anthropometric evaluation in the identification of nutritional alterations in children using daycare centers. Descriptors: Nutritional Surveillance; Nutritional Status; Child Health.Objetivo: avaliar o estado nutricional de crianças assistidas em creches públicas municipais. Métodos: pesquisa transversal realizada com 137 crianças entre zero e 24 meses. Para coleta de dados, utilizaram-se as medidas antropométricas preconizadas pelo Ministério da Saúde, incluindo estatura, peso e índice de massa corporal, e, para análise, as estatísticas descritiva e inferencial. Resultados: mais da metade das crianças apresentaram-se eutróficas (70,7%), porém 24,1% delas apresentaram sobrepeso, sendo a maioria do sexo masculino. Quadros de magreza (5,2%) também foram identificados em crianças entre os seis e 24 meses. Conclusão: os resultados da avaliação nutricional sinalizam para a tendência de redução das taxas de desnutrição e elevação do sobrepeso na infância, o que reforça a importância da avaliação antropométrica na identificação de alterações nutricionais em crianças usuárias de creches.
