“…It was ranked as the most challenging country for mothers and had the highest rate of deaths among children under the age of 5 years globally ( 29 ), which is consistent with the results of this study. Due to crises of conflict-related and widespread drought over the past 30 years, maternal and neonatal healthcare in Somalia was facing a serious healthcare crisis ( 30 , 31 ). With such a background, local health authorities in Somalia were facing the dual burden of rebuilding the healthcare system and handling urgent public health events resulting from continuing instability, conflicts, and natural disasters.…”

BackgroundNeonatal disorders are facing serious public health challenges. Previous studies were based on limited data sources and had a narrow geographical scope. We aim to understand the trends of alteration in the burden of neonatal disorders from 1990 to 2019 in 204 countries and territories.MethodsData were investigated from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019. First, we visualized the burden of neonatal disorders using the number of cases and the age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR), death rate (ASDR), and disability-adjusted life years (ASR-DALYs) from 1990 to 2019. Second, estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) were used to evaluate the temporal trends of disease burden during different periods. Finally, the sociodemographic index (SDI) and human development index (HDI) were used to determine whether there exists a correlation between socioeconomic development level, human development level, and potential burden consequences.ResultsOverall, in the past 30 years, the ASIR trends have remained relatively steady, whereas the ASDR and ASR-DALYs have declined. However, the burden of neonatal disorders varied greatly in various regions and countries. Among 21 regions, the ASIR trend had the largest increase in Central Latin America (EAPC = 0.42, 95%CI = 0.33–0.50). Conversely, the ASDR and ASR-DALYs experienced the largest decrease in Central Europe (EAPC = −5.10, 95%CI = −5.28 to 4.93) and East Asia (EAPC = −4.07, 95%CI = −4.41 to 3.73), respectively. Among 204 countries, the ASIR (EAPC = 3.35, 95%CI = 3.13–3.56) trend in Greece displayed the most significant increase, while the ASDR (EAPC = 1.26, 95%CI = 1.01–1.50) and ASR-DALYs (EAPC = 1.26, 95%CI = 1.03–1.49) trends in Dominica experienced the most substantial increase. Furthermore, there was a strong correlation between the EAPCs in ASIR, ASDR, ASR-DALYs, and SDI or HDI in 2019, with some exceptions. In addition, countries with elevated levels of HDI experienced a faster increase in ASDR and ASR-DALYs for neonatal disorders.ConclusionAlthough the burden of neonatal disorders shows a downward trend from 1990 to 2019, it is still not optimistic. It is necessary to implement a multi-pronged approach to reduce the increasing burden of neonatal disorders.

“…Although no prior research has specifically examined the burden of VAD in MENA, several global (7,16) and national (17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23) studies have been published. In 2019, one study reported the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies and non-essential heavy metal levels in adults living in Saudi Arabia (17).…”

BackgroundVitamin A deficiency (VAD) is a common micronutrient deficiency that imposes a substantial burden worldwide. This study examined the burden of VAD from 1990 to 2019 in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region by age, sex and sociodemographic index (SDI).MethodsThe data were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2019 database. We reported the prevalence, incidence, and years lived with disability (YLDs) that were attributable to VAD for the MENA region, along with its constituent countries.ResultsIn 2019, the MENA region had 30.6 million prevalent cases of VAD, with an age-standardized prevalence rate of 5249.9 per 100,000 population. In addition, VAD was responsible for 62.2 thousand YLDs, with an age-standardized YLD rate of 10.2 per 100,000. The age-standardized prevalence [50.3% (−55.9 to −44.7)] and YLD [−49.3% (−55.3 to −43.1)] rates of VAD have significantly decreased since 1990. In 2019, the MENA region’s VAD-attributable YLD rate was below the global average for males and females across all age groups. Additionally, SDI was negatively associated the age-standardized YLD rate of VAD.ConclusionThis study underscores the necessity of frequently updating health data and developing guidelines and regulations to prevent, detect early, and effectively treat VAD in the MENA countries.

“…(5)(6)(7) However, maternal nutritional deficiency is a global public health problem that contributes to the death of 3.5 million women annually, mainly in low-and middle-income countries. (8,9) Africa has significantly higher undernutrition in pregnancy, and sub-Saharan Africa is the most affected region. (10)(11)(12) Ethiopia is the country where the undernutrition problem is still among the major health problems, especially among children and mothers, with a higher prevalence.…”

Maternal knowledge and attitudes towards nutrition are essential for achieving healthy dietary behaviours for a positive pregnancy outcome. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the level and determinants of knowledge and attitudes towards nutrition among pregnant women in the Minjar Shenkora district, Ethiopia. Institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted between June and August 2021 among 334 pregnant women who were selected using a systematic random sampling technique. Data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire and analysed using SPSS version 21. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify the determinants of nutritional knowledge and attitudes. P < 0.05, with a 95% CI was used to declare statistical significance. Overall, 69.2% and 44.0% of the pregnant women were not knowledgeable and had an unfavourable attitude toward nutrition, respectively. The educational status of pregnant women (P < 0.01) and access to nutritional information (P < 0.01) were significantly associated with nutritional knowledge, while the educational status of pregnant women (P < 0.01) was associated with nutritional attitude. Respondents’ knowledge of and attitudes toward nutrition were low. Pregnant women’s educational levels and access to nutritional information are strongly related to their nutritional knowledge. Likewise, the educational status of the pregnant women was significantly associated with their nutritional attitudes. Therefore, education and counselling on maternal nutrition are needed to improve healthy maternal nutrition tips in the study area.
