Sci Rep
. 2019 Apr;
9(1):6566.
PMID: 31024041
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...

39(4):835-845.
PMID: 27438079
Widespread potential dietary deficiencies of calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), iodine (I), selenium (Se) and zinc (Zn) have been identified in Malawi. Several deficiencies are likely to be compounded by high...

Sci Total Environ
. 2014 Dec;
505:587-95.
PMID: 25461061
Food supply and composition data can be combined to estimate micronutrient intakes and deficiency risks among populations. These estimates can be improved by using local crop composition data that can...

Siyame E, Hurst R, Wawer A, Young S, Broadley M, Chilimba A, et al.
Int J Vitam Nutr Res
. 2014 May;
83(3):176-87.
PMID: 24846907
Background: Zinc deficiency is often associated with nutritional iron deficiency (ID), and may be exacerbated by low selenium status. Aim: To investigate risk of iron and zinc deficiency in women...

. 2014 Feb;
151(3):208-29.
PMID: 24524331
Dietary micronutrient deficiencies (MNDs) are widespread, yet their prevalence can be difficult to assess. Here, we estimate MND risks due to inadequate intakes for seven minerals in Africa using food...

PMID: 23258400
Mineral malnutrition is widespread in sub-Saharan Africa but its extent is difficult to quantify. Using Malawi as a case study, the aim of this work was to investigate the adequacy...

PMID: 22355591
Selenium is an essential element in human diets but the risk of suboptimal intake increases where food choices are narrow. Here we show that suboptimal dietary intake (i.e. 20-30 µg ...
