“…RDA) was only 10 and seven per cent for normal and thin adolescents, respectively, indicating around 90 and three per cent inadequacy of intake. Similar findings from Rajasthan 20 and Maharashtra 21 were also reported (30-70%). In this study, higher probability of dietary zinc inadequacy was observed in adolescents boys, which could be attributed to their higher requirement of zinc for growth.…”

Background & objectives: Zinc is a crucial micronutrient in adolescence, required for promoting growth and sexual maturation. Adolescents of some tribes may be at high risk of zinc deficiency due to dietary inadequacy and poor bioavailability of zinc from plant-based diets. This study aimed to evaluate the risk of zinc deficiency by estimating prevalence of inadequate zinc intake, prevalence of low serum zinc and stunting among tribal adolescents. Methods: A cross-sectional community-based survey was conducted among adolescents (10-19 yr) in three purposively selected districts where Bhil , Korku and Gond tribes were in majority. Structured data collection instrument comprising information about sociodemographic characteristics and dietary recall data was used. Anthropometric assessment was conducted by standardized weighing scales and anthropometry tapes, and blood sample was collected from antecubital vein into trace element-free vacutainers. Serum zinc was estimated using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Results: A total of 2310 households were approached for participation in the study, of which 2224 households having 5151 adolescents participated. Out of these enlisted adolescents, 4673 responded to dietary recall (90.7% response rate). Anthropometry of 2437 participants was carried out, and serum zinc was analyzed in 844 adolescents. The overall prevalence of dietary zinc inadequacy was 42.6 per cent [95% confidence interval (CI) 41.2 to 44.1] with reference to the estimated average requirement suggested by International Zinc Nutrition Consultative Group (IZiNCG) and 64.8 per cent (95% CI 63.4 to 66.2) with Indian Council of Medical Research-recommended requirements. Stunting was observed in 29 per cent (95% CI 27.2 to 30.8) participants. According to IZiNCG cut-offs, low serum zinc was detected in 57.5 per cent (95% CI 54.1 to 60.8) of adolescents, whereas it was 34.4 per cent (95% CI: 31.2-37.5) according to the national level cut-off. Interpretation & conclusions: Risk of dietary zinc inadequacy and low serum zinc concentration amongst adolescents of the Gond , Bhil and Korku tribes is a public health concern.

IntroductionPrecise impact of nutritional insufficiencies in adolescence as a risk factor for non-communicable diseases (NCD) in later life as adults remains largely unknown.We are conducting research into the effects of nutrition on adolescent girls of Ratnagiri district by a prospective cohort study (aDolescent and prEconception health peRspectiVe of Adult Non-communicable diseases cohort). Our study focuses on the physical health, nutritional parameters and cognitive profiles of adolescent girls, during the prenatal and postnatal period and we aim to follow this cohort and their offspring for 20 years.Methods and analysisCohort recruitment began in June 2019. Our aim is to recruit more than 1500 adolescent girls, age 16–18 years, over a period of 3 years. The recruit’s cognition, diet and physical activity will be recorded. The following investigations will be performed: body composition by anthropometry and bioimpedence, and blood pressure, fasting blood sample to measure glucose, insulin, lipids, micronutrients and hormones, abdominal ultrasonography to measure liver, pancreas and kidneys.A biorepository has been created for long-term storage of blood, urine and saliva samples for future analysis. By this longitudinal study, we aim to identify the effects of malnutrition on the behavioural and biological measures in adolescent subjects and evaluate if these are associated with the onset of NCDs in adulthood.Ethics and disseminationInstitutional Ethic Committee (IEC) of BKL Walawalkar Rural Medical College and Hospital has granted the permission to carry out the study. IEC is registered with Government of India. Its registration code is EC/755/INST/MH/2015/RR-18. It is not a clinical trial but as required we have also registered the study on Clinical Trial Registry of India (CTRI). The registration code is CTRI/2019/04/018453.Appropriate written informed consent and assent are obtained from the parents and the adolescent girls, respectively. We plan to publish our results in peer-reviewed journals.

Physalis peruviana, Patlıcangiller (Solanaceae) familyasının Physalis cinsine ait Güney Amerika’nın tropikal bölgelerinde doğal yayılış gösteren egzotik bir türüdür. Sarı-turuncu renkte, hemen hemen yuvarlak, üzümsü ve etli yapıda olan P. peruviana meyveleri çeşitli rakımlara, topraklara ve iklim koşullarına uyum sağlayabilmektedir. Physalis cinsinin ülkemizde doğal olarak yetişen dört türü bulunmaktadır ve halk arasında güveyfeneri olarak bilinen cinsin kültürü yapılmakta olup, ekonomik öneme sahip olduğu bilinmektedir. C vitamini, fosfor potasyum ve fenolik bileşikler açısından zengin olan P. peruviana fonksiyonel bir ürün özelliği göstermektedir. Farmakolojik ve fitokimyasal çalışmalarda antibakteriyel, antikanserojen, antidiyabetik, antioksidan etkileri ortaya konulmuştur. Domatese oldukça yakın tat ve görünüşü olan P. peruviana meyvesinin taze tüketiminin yanı sıra meyve suyu, marmelat, reçel ve tatlılarda, soslarda ve glazelerde kullanımı yaygındır. Hem kendine has lezzeti, hem de sağlık üzerinde birçok etkisi sebebiyle bu meyvenin gelecekte daha fazla yaygınlaşması beklenmektedir. Bu çalışmada P. peruviana bitkisinin botanik ve fonksiyonel özelliklerine değinilerek sağlık üzerindeki potansiyel etkileri değerlendirilmiş ve alternatif kullanım alanları ile ilgili bilgiler derlenmiştir.
