Association of Seafood Consumption and Nutritional Status Among Adolescent Girls
Starting soon
Conditions studied: Nutritional Status, Omega 3 Fat Status, Micronutrient Status, Fish Consumption, Dietary Pattern, Female Autonomy, Climate Change
In brief
This study examines how seafood consumption, social changes, and climate change affect the nutrition and well-being of adolescent girls in south-western Bangladesh. Many adolescent girls face poor nutrition, early marriage, and limited access to adequate diets. Adolescent girls have high nutritional needs due to growth and potential early motherhood. Seafood, including fish, shrimp, and prawns, provides important nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, but little is known about how its consumption relates to nutritional status in this population. The study will collect new data from adolescent girls in the same area as a 2017 study (IMMANA study), assessing dietary pattern, nutritional status, socioeconomic conditions, and female autonomy. It will also explore how climate change affects household food access and nutrition to provide policies linking food systems and public health.
