An unequal burden: Intra-household dimensions of seasonal health in Tanzania

BMI Status and Trends among Native American Family Members Participating in the Growing Resilience Home Garden Study

“…This enabled us to create sex-specific BMI growth curves that we then use to construct BMI-for-age z scores that are consistent for all people aged 2 y and older. [A working paper provides more detail about this approach ( 5 ) and it has been applied to analyze BMI outcomes in Tanzania ( 4 ).]…”

“…Only very few peer-reviewed studies share WRIR health status data, with 2 reports on child BMI ( 2 , 3 ) and 1 from this team that summarizes health status among adults participating in this study ( 1 ). In this research report, we share BMI data for participating children and adults and analyze it using a novel LMS-based z -score approach that treats adults and children as one population ( 4 , 5 ). This new method offers several advantages, including allowing direct comparison of BMI status within and among family members of all ages, assessing family responses to intervention as a whole family, and increasing sample sizes for analysis of intervention impacts.…”

Efeito da expansão da safra de inverno de milho no Brasil sobre a sazonalidade dos preços spot

“…Entretanto, uma série de Fourier de primeira ordem impõe simetria no padrão sazonal, o que não é interessante para a presente pesquisa, uma vez que, geralmente, a sazonalidade dos preços agrícolas não apresenta esse comportamento. É possível contornar esse aspecto utilizando componentes harmônicos de primeira ordem conjuntamente com componentes de ordem superior, como apresentado em Bevis et al (2019).…”

“…Bevis et al (2019),Gilbert et al (2017) eSørensen (2002), as sazonalidades regionais do preço do milho foram estimadas por meio de dois pares de componentes trigonométricos, a partir das representações a seguir:…”
