Farm-Level Pathways to Improved Nutritional Status: Introduction to the Special Issue (2015, background): “…focus on inputs, such as food, caloric or micronutrient intake, or dietary diversity indicators (designed to be used as a proxy for diet quality – see Arimond et al., 2010) or outcomes, which are generally measured by anthropometric indicators, such as height-for-age, weight-for-age,…”
Crop diversification, dietary diversity and agricultural income: empirical evidence from eight developing countries (2014, background): “and the Philippines (Arimond et al. 2010).”
Factors influencing household food security among smallholder farmers in the Mudzi district of Zimbabwe (2014, background): “A high HDDS indicates a diversified household diet, which is more likely to allow balanced micronutrient intakes (Arimond et al., 2010).”
Production diversity and dietary diversity in smallholder farm households (2015, background): “However, research has shown that the last three food groups contribute little to the micronutrient density of the diet, so that—depending on the purpose—there are also studies that have calculated dietary diversity scores only based on the remaining nine food groups (12, 39).”
Women’s Empowerment Mitigates the Negative Effects of Low Production Diversity on Maternal and Child Nutrition in Nepal (2015, background): “Various studies (see Arimond et al., 2010 and resources cited therein) have documented associations between dietary diversity indicators and micronutrient intakes or adequacy in developing countries.”
Reducing Child Undernutrition: Past Drivers and Priorities for the Post-MDG Era (2014, background): “Energy-dense starchy staples, such as cereals, roots, and tubers, have only small amounts of bioavailable protein and micronutrients, leaving those consuming large amounts of them vulnerable to nutrient deﬁciencies (Arimond et al ., 2010; Ruel, 2003).”
Improving diets with wild and cultivated biodiversity from across the landscape (2015, background): “Evidence linking dietary diversity to energy and micronutrient adequacy, and to child growth is now well established (Ruel 2003; Arimond and Ruel 2004; Arimond et al. 2010; Kennedy et al. 2011).”
