“…30,000 per month exhibited lower immunization rates, echoing findings from similar research endeavors, including the study by Nisar et al, which corroborated the association between lower socioeconomic status and diminished immunization coverage (9). This correlation was further substantiated by our observation that children from higher-income families were more likely to be fully immunized, emphasizing the influence of economic factors on health outcomes (4,18,20,28). Education levels of parents, particularly mothers, were significantly associated with the immunization status of their children.…”

“…According to the WHO/UNICEF (2008) report, the global immunization landscape has witnessed substantial progress, with the proportion of infants under one year of age receiving the DPT vaccine (three doses against diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus) soaring from 20% in 1980 to 79% in 2006 (3,4). Concurrently, the coverage for the three doses of polio vaccine escalated from 22% in 1980 to 80% in 2006, and measles immunization coverage expanded from 16% in 1980 to 80% in 2006.…”

Background: Immunization is a cornerstone of public health, aiming to reduce morbidity and mortality among children. Despite global efforts to increase vaccination coverage, gaps in immunization persist, influenced by a variety of socio-economic and demographic factors. Understanding these factors is crucial for improving vaccination strategies and achieving herd immunity. Objective: The study aimed to assess the immunization coverage among children aged 12 to 23 months and identify factors associated with incomplete immunization in a peri-urban area of Peshawar. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from September 15, 2021, to November 15, 2022, involving 239 children aged 12 to 23 months from five villages selected through multi-stage cluster sampling. Data on demographic and socio-economic factors, along with immunization status, were collected through interviews with mothers and caretakers using a semi-structured questionnaire. Immunization coverage was assessed, and factors associated with failure to complete immunization were analyzed. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 25. Results: The study revealed that 50.2% (120/239) of children were fully immunized, 35.5% (85/239) were partially immunized, and 14.2% (34/239) were unimmunized. Factors contributing to incomplete immunization included lack of information (31/239), lack of motivation (17/239), accessibility issues (9/239), vaccine availability (7/239), and family-related challenges (22/239). No significant gender discrimination in immunization coverage was observed. Children from families with lower socioeconomic status and parents with education less than secondary level were more likely to be incompletely immunized. Conclusion: While there has been progress in immunization coverage, significant barriers remain, particularly among children from low socioeconomic backgrounds and families with lower levels of parental education. Addressing these challenges through targeted public health interventions and enhanced community awareness is essential for improving immunization coverage and protecting children against vaccine-preventable diseases.

“…It is possible to maintain profits while selling smaller portions, and an analysis of over a decade of sales data of soda in the USA shows that smaller package sizes performed better [54]. That said, consumers tend to respond negatively to the practice of "shrinkflation", or reducing the size of a product without also reducing the price [55][56][57], particularly as inflation continues to rise in many parts of the world.…”

Portion size is recognized as a major determinant of food intake, at least over the short term, and could be related to overconsumption and obesity. In this study, we developed and evaluated a new visual measure of portion size (PS), examined whether the PS of chicken, ice cream, and soda varied among people in Brazil, France, and the USA, and tested whether PS was related to gender, body mass index, body weight, and socioeconomic status. We conducted a cross-sectional study using online convenience samples of university students (total N = 1391). Across all three foods, French personal and country PSs were significantly smaller than the other three countries. Estimated country PS was reliably larger than personal PS. Women’s personal PSs were smaller than men’s, but women’s and men’s estimates for country PS were similar. French personal and country PSs were the lowest. Some PSs had a weak but significant correlation with SES but were not significantly related to either weight or BMI. The study confirms French-American differences in personal PS and demonstrates that perceived norms correspond to individual PS.
