Journal Article
Joy, E. J., Kumssa, D. B., Broadley, M. R., Watts, M. J., Young, S. D., Chilimba, A. D. C., & Ander, E. L. (2015). Dietary mineral supplies in Malawi: spatial and socioeconomic assessment. BMC Nutrition, 1, Article 42. https://doi.org/10.1186/s40795-015-0036-4

© 2015 Joy et al. Background: Dietary mineral deficiencies are widespread globally causing a large disease burden. However, estimates of deficiency prevalence are often only available at national scales or for small population sub-groups with limited...

Global magnesium supply in the food chain (2015)
Journal Article
Kumssa, D. B., Joy, E. J., Ander, E. L., Watts, M. J., Young, S. D., Rosanoff, A., …Broadley, M. R. (2015). Global magnesium supply in the food chain. Crop and Pasture Science, 66(12), 1278-1289. https://doi.org/10.1071/CP15096

© CSIRO 2015. Magnesium (Mg) is an essential mineral micronutrient in humans. Risks of dietary Mg deficiency are affected by the quantity of Mg ingested and its bioavailability, which is influenced by the consumption of other nutrients and 'anti-nutr...

Dietary calcium and zinc deficiency risks are decreasing but remain prevalent (2015)
Journal Article
Joy, E. J. M., Kumssa, D. B., Joy, E. J., Ander, E. L., Watts, M. J., Young, S. D., …Broadley, M. R. (2015). Dietary calcium and zinc deficiency risks are decreasing but remain prevalent. Scientific Reports, 5(1), Article 10974. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep10974

Globally, more than 800 million people are undernourished while >2 billion people have one or more chronic micronutrient deficiencies (MNDs). More than 6% of global mortality and morbidity burdens are associated with undernourishment and MNDs. Here w...

Zinc-enriched fertilisers as a potential public health intervention in Africa (2015)
Journal Article
Joy, E. J. M., Stein, A. J., Young, S. D., Ander, E. L., Watts, M. J., & Broadley, M. R. (2015). Zinc-enriched fertilisers as a potential public health intervention in Africa. Plant and Soil, 389(1-2), 1-24. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11104-015-2430-8

Background In this review, we examine the potential of Zn-enriched fertilisers to alleviate human dietary Zn deficiency. The focus is on ten African countries where dietary Zn supply is low and where fertiliser subsidies are routinely deployed on...
