Estimates of Dietary Mineral Supply in Malawi Based on Soil Type and Household Survey Data

Edward Joy, Martin Broadley, Michael Watts, Allan Chilimba, Scott Young, Louise Ander & Colin Black · European Journal of Nutrition & Food Safety · 2015

Objectives: Mineral deficiencies due to inadequate dietary supply are likely to be widespread in Malawi. However, there is insufficient reliable data on mineral supplies and deficiency risks at scales useful for policy-makers. This study provides mineral supply estimates at the l...

Watts, Benson Chilima, Jellita Gondwe, Dalitso Kang’ombe, Alexander Kalimbira, Susan J. Fairweather-Tait, Karl B. Bailey & Edwin W. P. Siyame · European Journal of Nutrition & Food Safety · 2015

Objectives: Soil-iron contaminant has the potential to contribute to total iron intakes, depending in part on food preparation practices, although whether contaminant iron joins the common non-heme iron pool and is available for absorption is uncertain. Therefore we compared diet...
