Aim

The World Health Organisation (WHO) magnesium (Mg) estimated average requirement (EAR) is not adjusted for rise in human body weight (BW) and neglects body Mg stores depletion. Cereal grain food processing results in Mg loss and reduces dietar... Read More about Impact of rising body weight and cereal grain food processing on human magnesium nutrition.

Selenium (Se) is an essential human micronutrient. Deficiency of Se decreases the activity of selenoproteins and can compromise immune and thyroid function and cognitive development, and increase risks from non-communicable diseases. The prevalence o... Read More about The risk of selenium deficiency in Malawi is large and varies over multiple spatial scales.
