ABSTRACT Edible crickets are commonly farmed insects containing high-quality protein and micronutrients. They can potentially replace common animal source protein in complementary food (CF). We evaluated the effect of edible cricket-enriched CF on linear growth in a 2 × 2 factorial randomized control trial based on Cricket treatment (+/−CR) and Nutrition Education treatment (+/−ED). We enrolled 284 […]

ABSTRACT Suboptimal complementary feeding practices remain a significant challenge in LMICs. Peer support shows promise in improving these practices; however, their long-term success hinges on sustained engagement and integration into existing support systems, aspects that remain poorly understood. This theory-led systematic review aimed to understand why people participate, support, and continue using peer support for

ABSTRACT Protein and fat concentrations in donor human milk (DHM) can vary twofold to threefold and are influenced by the number of unique donors per pool. The aim of this study was to broadly characterize how the number of donors (2–10) randomly combined into a pool during milk bank processing influenced the variability of macronutrients,

ABSTRACT Parental feeding practices play a crucial role in preventing childhood obesity and promoting healthy eating habits. However, few interventions are specifically designed to improve these practices. We aimed to assess the feasibility and preliminary effects of a novel psychoeducational intervention, Empower Parents to Optimise Feeding Practices (EPO-Feeding), tailored to enhance parental feeding practices in

Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, Volume 51, Issue , Page 1-10, January 2026. In females, menopause reduces estrogen and its cardioprotective effects, doubling cardiovascular disease risk, and nearly doubling stroke risk within 10 years post-menopause. Poor cardiovascular health markers are common post-stroke, increasing recurrent stroke risk. Physical activity improves cardiovascular health in postmenopausal females and
