Structural determinants of food insufficiency low dietary diversity and BMI: a cross-sectional study of HIV-infected and HIV-negative Rwandan women

摘要

ObjectivesIn Sub-Saharan Africa, the overlapping epidemics of undernutrition and HIV infection affect over 200 and 23 million people, respectively, and little is known about the combined prevalence and nutritional effects. The authors sought to determine which structural factors are associated with food insufficiency, low dietary diversity and low body mass index (BMI) in HIV-negative and HIV-infected Sub-Saharan women.
