MEASURING AND INTERPRETING MALNUTRITION AND MORTALITY 3 The Purpose of this Manual WHY THIS MANUAL? • To provide guidance on issues relating to nutrition and mortality surveys. • To standardize survey methodology used by WFP staff, consultants and implementing partners as a means of ensuring quality. • To standardize survey data interpretation and reporting. WHO IS IT FOR? • WFP staff involved in nutrition-related data collection and/or nutrition interventions. • WFP staff involved in nutrition intervention decision-making. • WFP consultants and partners involved in nutrition surveys and interventions. WHAT DOES IT CONTAIN? • A chapter on anthropometry and micronutrient deficiencies. • A chapter on mortality. • Guidance on deciding when secondary data are of sufficient quality for WFP purposes, thereby rendering a new survey unnecessary. • A chapter on survey methodology, including an essential guide on selecting appropriate survey methods and calculating sample size. • Guidance on interpreting and using survey results along with available complementary materials to make informed decisions. • Guidance on reviewing survey reports for quality. • Example of a good survey in comparison to a less valid one. HOW SHOULD IT BE USED? • As a reference guide. • As complementary material for the WFP Advanced Nutrition Training. • As a basis for framing questions/discussions with nutrition experts. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO! • Does not absolve you of carefully thinking about decisions. • Does not provide programmatic guidance on what to do with survey results (guidance on such issues can be found in the WFP Food & Nutrition Handbook). • Does not provide guidance on identifying malnutrition on an individual basis, but focuses on population-based malnutrition. • Does not provide guidance on screening for either malnutrition or nutrition surveillance. MEASURING AND INTERPRETING MALNUTRITION AND MORTALITY 5 Foreword While nutrition has been central to WFP's mandate for the past 40 years, its importance to WFP is growing. Already recognized as a key player in nutrition, WFP plays an increa- singly visible role in micronutrient fortification, HIV/AIDS-nutrition programming, scho- ol nutrition and enhanced maternal and child interventions. Following the Executive Board's endorsement of three nutrition policies in 2004, WFP's Strategic Plan for 2006- 2009 reconfirms the organization's commitment to support improved nutrition among children, mothers and other vulnerable people in both crisis and non-crisis settings. However, achieving greater impact, and more clearly documenting results, will be a chal- lenge. The adoption of nutrition indicators in the context of Results-Based Management represents a significant shift in WFP's use of nutrition data - going beyond monitoring and evaluation to the corporate reporting of nutrition and mortality outcomes. Enhancing the capacity of WFP staff, partners and national counterparts to collect and interpret sur- vey-derived data will be a key to future successes. It is of utmost importance that such data are collected using appropriate methods, interpreted meaningfully (in light of com- plementary information on food security, health, markets, etc.), and presented and used in transparent, appropriate ways. This manual was prepared to support such capacity-enhancement, providing rigorous yet accessible advice on survey “dos and don'ts”. It provides step-by-step guidance intended not only for nutritionists and nutrition focal points, but for all staff involved with data management, programme design and reporting. This is not to suggest that WFP staff collect most nutrition information; such data are collected frequently by partners. However, even when they do not themselves design and conduct surveys, WFP staff must be conversant with data quality issues to be able to interpret and use information appropriately. In other cases, WFP country offices, often with headquar- ters and regional bureaux support, will indeed directly oversee data collection and analysis. This manual tells you how. The manual (and its associated training modules) is a team product, combining input from many individuals whose contributions are much appreciated. Future editions are envisaged, with updates occurring according to developments in nutrition science, sur- vey methods and WFP needs. Feedback is therefore always welcome. We hope that the information provided will be widely used and lead to further improvements both in pro- gramming and in our ability to report on successful interventions. Patrick Webb and Rita Bhatia Nutrition Service WFP, Rome July 2005 MEASURING AND INTERPRETING MALNUTRITION AND MORTALITY 7 Introduction “WFP will mainstream nutrition in its programmes, advocacy and partnerships in order to (i) tackle malnutrition directly, responding to and/or preventing malnutrition when food can make a difference, and (ii) enhance national and household capacities to recognize and respond to nutritional challenges. WFP will expand its efforts to achie- ve and document positive nutritional outcomes. This will include putting in place appro- priate staff capacity at country, regional and Headquarters levels in nutritional asses- sment, programme design, project implementation and data collection and manage- ment. WFP will engage more fully in global and national policy dialogues on malnutri- tion problems and solutions in collaboration with appropriate partners.” World Food Programme Executive Board Decision, 2004 Annual Session: WFP/EB.A/2004/5-A/1 THE IMPORTANCE OF NUTRITION AND blem, design appropriate responses, docu- MORTALITY INFORMATION FOR WFP ment change and allow for reporting on Since its first operations in the early 1960s, effectiveness.

BMC Public Health (2018) 18:1133 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-018-6031-3 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Gastroesophageal reflux disease and its related factors among women of reproductive age: Korea Nurses’ Health Study Oksoo Kim1,2, Hee Jung Jang3,4* , Sue Kim5, Hea-Young Lee6, Eunyoung Cho7,8, Jung Eun Lee9, Heeja Jung10 and Jiyoung Kim11 Abstract Background: Recently, the number of patients diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) has increased in Korea. Risk factors of GERD include age, sex, medication use, lack of physical exercise, increased psychological stress, low or high body mass index (BMI), unhealthy eating habits, increased alcohol consumption, and cigarette smoking. However, few studies examined the major factors affecting GERD in women of childbearing age. Therefore, this study assessed the risk factors of GERD among 20,613 female nurses of reproductive age using data from the Korea Nurses’ Health Study. Methods: Participants were recruited from July 2013 to November 2014. They provided their history of GERD 1 year prior to data collection, along with information on their demographic characteristics, health-related behaviors, diet, medical history, and physical and psychological factors. Of the total sample, 1184 individuals with GERD diagnosed in the year prior to the study were identified. Propensity score matching was used for analysis. Results: Cigarette smoking, increased alcohol consumption, low or high BMI, depression, and increased psychosocial stress were associated with the prevalence of GERD among Korean young women. Multivariate ordinal logistic regression analysis revealed significant positive relationships between GERD and being a former smoker; having a low (< 18.5 kg/m2) or high BMI (> 23 kg/m2); and having mild, moderate, moderately severe, and severe depression.

There is substantial evidence that obesity is a worldwide epidemic and that it has a significant negative impact on health, mortality and related costs. Overweight and obesity are associated with increased prevalence of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension and some cancers. There also is evidence that increased weight is asso- ciated with kidney disease, stroke, osteoarthritis and sleep apnea. Moreover, empirical studies report that obesity significantly increases the risk of death. We used the results to estimate costs due to overweight and obesity in the United States and Canada. We estimate that total annual economic cost of overweight and obesity in the United States and Canada caused by medical costs, excess mortality and disability is approximately $300 billion in 2009.
