Nutrition in adolescent growth and development

Shane A. Norris et al.

Summary: Adolescence is a crucial period where nutrition plays a significant role in growth and development, with effects extending beyond musculoskeletal growth to cardiorespiratory fitness, neurodevelopment, and immunity. However, research and policy on adolescent nutrition are currently inadequate, leading to a lack of integrated perspective on the role of nutrition during this period. High rates of early adolescent pregnancy in many countries also have negative implications for the growth and nutrition of female adolescents, impacting the next generation as well.

Shamsun Nahar et al.

Summary: Measurement of women's empowerment has seen growth in recent decades, but challenges remain in measuring progress in different situational and cultural contexts. This study used a systematic review to identify quantitative literature on measures of women's empowerment in developing countries, with household decision making, financial and economic decision making, freedom of movement, self-esteem, and sexual and reproductive decision making being the most commonly applied dimensions. These findings contribute to expanding indicators of women's empowerment in developing countries.
