Malnutrition and poor diets are the main causes of the global burden of disease. This could lead to reduce immunity and productivity. It is known that micronutrient deficiency is a major causes of growth faltering. In Indonesia, double burden has received major concern. More than one out of every three children (37%) are stunted (the fifth-highest number in the world). West Java and Banten...

Introduction:
The phenotype and risk factors for diabetes appear different among Africans from among people in high-income countries. The increased burden of infection and the higher prevalence of malnutrition may contribute to these differences.
Methods:
We measured diabetes by three methods – haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) –...

Introduction: The food and nutritional transition in Morocco involves the purchase of foods rich in fats and added sugars but low in nutrients (proteins, iron, vitamins, etc ...). Nutrient density is an index that allows to know the ratio calorie / interest / nutritional price of a food. Economic constraints are guiding food choices towards cheaper and more energy-dense products. Energy dense...
