    The effect of African Leafy Vegetables on the alleviation of micronutrient deficiencies in school children residing in the North West Province of South Africa. M van der Hoeven 22061207 Thesis submitted for the degree Doctor Philosophiae in Nutrition the Potchefstroom Campus of the North-West University Promoter: Prof CM Smuts Co-Promoter: Prof M Faber Assistant Promoter: Prof A Kruger May 2014 “Three passions have governed my life: The longing for love, the search for knowledge, And unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness. In the union of love I have seen In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined. With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of [people]. I have wished to know why the stars shine. Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens, But always pity brought me back to earth; Cries of pain reverberated in my heart Of children in famine, of victims tortured And of old people left helpless. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, And I too suffer. This has been my life; I found it worth living.” Bertrand Russell Adapted from Prologue – Autobiography of Bertrand Russell, 1951 ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Background Food and nutrition insecurity severely compromises the quality of life in farm communities in South Africa. Although food‐based approaches are more sustainable strategies to address malnutrition, most other strategies only target the alleviation of single micronutrients. Synergies between nutrients demand a wider scope; food‐based strategies need to focus on improving both overall diet quality and the well‐being of rural and urban populations.

  • The Effects of Internal Migration and Related Factors on Nutrient Intake and Anthropometric Status of Children Aged 1-9 Years in South Africa, 1999
    The Effects of Internal Migration and Related Factors on Nutrient Intake and Anthropometric Status of Children Aged 1-9 Years in South Africa, 1999 Elizabeth Catherina Swart (M.Phil Public Health) EXAMINATION COPY A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor Philosophiae (Public Health) in the Faculty of Community and Health Sciences, University of the Western Cape. Supervisors: Dr Debra Jackson Prof Robert Shell 2004 ii The effects of internal migration and related factors on nutrient intake and anthropometric status of children aged 1-9 years in South Africa, 1999. Elizabeth Catherina Swart Keywords Migration Residential mobility Height Weight Nutritional status Children Dietary intake Women Growth South Africa iii Abstract Migration both as a process and as an outcome of multiple factors contributes to social, economic, environmental and behavioural changes, which, in turn, affect the health and nutritional status of individuals. To best understand the association between migration, dietary intake, nutritional status and socio-economic conditions, all factors should be considered as a continuum. The differences in outcomes would depend on where the individual started off. In turn, the starting point not only influences the outcomes, but also the propensity to migrate. Children are often most susceptible to changes, but, as they are often not regarded as migrants, little is known about the impact of internal migration on the nutritional status of children in South Africa. Therefore, for the first time in South Africa, the purpose of this study is to provide a national overview on internal migration of children and to relate these migration patterns to the nutritional status of children.
