ABSTRACT Background Food reintroduction is a critical step for teenagers with Crohn’s disease (CD) transitioning from exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) to a normal diet. However, no standardized protocol currently guides this process. This study aimed to explore the barriers and practices of food reintroduction from the perspectives of teenagers, their caregivers and healthcare professionals in

Abstract Adolescence, a stage of growth between 10 and 19 years, is a transitional period of intense cognitive, emotional and physical development. Though iron deficiency is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among this age group, nutritional interventions targeting adolescents are rare. To inform policy and practice aimed at adolescent health, we established the burden of

Abstract School system is a promising platform for addressing all forms of malnutrition in adolescents. However, little is known about the impact of integrated school health and nutrition programmes on adolescent nutrition and educational outcomes in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This systematic review sought to characterize school-based health and nutrition interventions among adolescents in

– We found a substantial burden of anaemia among urban in-school young adolescents in Ethiopia, Sudan and Tanzania. – The prevalence and adjusted risk of anaemia were higher among boys compared with girls. – Anaemia risk among young adolescents was associated with multiple modifiable indices, including poor diet quality, food insecurity and unavailability of school handwashing stations.

Abstract Digital technologies provide unprecedented opportunities for health and nutrition interventions among adolescents. The use of digital media and devices among young adolescents across diverse settings in sub-Saharan Africa is unclear. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the use of digital media and devices and the socioeconomic determinants of use among young adolescents in Burkina

Abstract Adolescents face the risk of the triple burden of malnutrition—the co-existence of micronutrient deficiencies, underweight and overweight and obesity and related noncommunicable diseases. Poor-quality diets are a modifiable risk factor for all forms of malnutrition in adolescents. However, there is limited knowledge about diet quality for African adolescents. We analyzed data from 4609 school-going adolescents

Abstract Mental health in adolescence is important for health and well-being throughout the life course, but evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa is sparse. This study aimed to assess the correlates of internalizing, externalizing and cumulative problems among early adolescents. This study used cross-sectional survey data from 3516 school-going adolescents in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso; Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and Dar

Abstract Adolescent diets may be influenced by the retail food environment around schools. However, international research to examine associations between the proximity of retail food outlets to schools and diet provides equivocal support for an association. This study aims to understand the school food environment and drivers for adolescents’ consumption of unhealthy foods in Addis

Abstract The prevalence of overweight/obesity in adolescents has increased globally, including in low- and middle-income countries. Early adolescence provides an opportunity to develop and encourage positive health and behavioural practices, yet it is an understudied age group with limited information to guide and inform appropriate interventions. This study aims to determine the prevalence of overweight/obesity
