Iodine and selenium: dietary sources and nutritional status of the population of the Kurdistan Region in Northern Iraq (2024)
Journal Article

Aim The primary aim of this study was to determine the selenium (Se) and iodine (I) food concentrations and dietary intake of the population living in the Kurdish controlled region of northern Iraq. We also assessed the extent to which iodised salt... Read More about Iodine and selenium: dietary sources and nutritional status of the population of the Kurdistan Region in Northern Iraq.

Maternal selenium deficiency was positively associated with the risk of selenium deficiency in children aged 6–59 months in rural Zimbabwe (2024)
Journal Article

There is growing evidence showing the existence of selenium (Se) deficiency among women and children in sub-Saharan Africa. Unfortunately, the key drivers of Se deficiency are not clearly understood. This study assessed the determinants of Se deficie...

Urine Se concentration poorly predicts plasma Se concentration at sub-district scales in Zimbabwe, limiting its value as a biomarker of population Se status (2024)
Journal Article

Introduction: The current study investigated the value of urine selenium (Se) concentration as a biomarker of population Se status in rural sub-Saharan Africa. Method: Urine and plasma Se concentrations were measured among children aged 6–59 mont...

Differences in the nutritional quality of improved finger millet genotypes in Ethiopia (2024)
Journal Article

Improved crop genotypes are constantly introduced. However, information on their nutritional quality is generally limited. The present study reports the proximate composition and the concentration and relative bioavailability of minerals of improved...
