“…A 1994 national household survey estimated self-consumed rice production at 75% (Roubaud, 1997: 48). According to a regional 2015-2016 survey, depending on the time of year, the quantity of rice self-consumed each month varied between 18% and 98% (Bouquet et al, 2018). This can then be translated into monetary equivalents by comparing with "market" prices in order to obtain an estimate of the population's poverty levels and standard of living.…”

This article studies the production and meaning of price indicators in Madagascar, a post-colonial context characterized by a weak state, the prominence of international aid, and repeated food crises. We observe a profusion of indicators, data, and analyses related to prices. Such profusion illustrates not only different meanings of the cost of living but also fragmented economies and a fragmented mode of government in which nongovernmental organizations and international organizations play a leading role. Whatever their efforts, these initiatives struggle to capture the specific features of the cost of living in a context where the subsistence economy remains hardly convertible into numbers. Our analysis confirms the close links between statistical production and modes of government. The Malagasy Consumer Price Index coexists with many disparate initiatives aimed to cope with inequalities and emergencies, reflecting a country in the throes of repeated political, economic, and social crises.

“…The use of nutritional scores and indices for the measurement of diversity is not a new concept; however, it is relatively recent, at least, in developing countries. Research has demonstrated a positive relationship between dietary diversity or the overall quality of food intake and the nutritional status, growth, sociocultural factors, and the diet of children and adolescents in these countries [13][14][15][16].…”

Aim: This article aims to evaluate the quality of adolescents’ diet in Constantine (Eastern Algeria) and investigate factors associated with this quality: Socio-economic Level (SEL), nutritional status (BMI), and age. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Constantine (Eastern Algeria) in 2019 with 1126 adolescents (aged 11–19 years). The dietary data were collected by a 24-hr recall. The diet quality was assessed by a diet diversity score (DDS) calculated for 9 food groups (DDS above the mean reflects a diversified diet) and a mean adequacy ratio (MAR) calculated for 12 nutrients. MAR’s cut-off value was "one." Weight and height were measured, and BMI was interpreted according to the World Health Organization reference values. The SEL was assessed using a socioeconomic classification score (SECS) according to parents' education level, profession, and other household information. Results: The mean DDS was 3.97 ± 1.25. It was shifted to the lowest values compared to the theoretical mean value (4.5). Insufficient scores (DDS ≤4.5) were found in 65.0% of subjects. The mean MAR was 0.59 ± 0.20 and values <1 represented 79.1%. A significant negative correlation was recorded between age and MAR (r = −15%; P < 0.0001), and a positive correlation was found between it and SECS (r = 18%; p < 0.0001). BMI is inversely and significantly associated with MAR (r = −9.9%; P = 0.0009). Conclusion: In addition to highlighting a low diversity and a poor adequacy with nutritional recommendations among adolescents in Algeria, this study underlines the significant effect of age, BMI, and socioeconomic level on the quality of diet. Keywords: dietary diversity score (DDS), mean adequacy ratio (MAR), BMI, socioeconomic level, adolescents
