Modeling food fortification contributions to micronutrient requirements in Malawi using Household Consumption and Expenditure Surveys

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2021
Large‐scale food fortification may be a cost‐effective intervention to increase micronutrient supplies in the food system when implemented under appropriate conditions, yet it is unclear if current strategies can equitably benefit populations with the ...

Cost-effectiveness of mandatory folic acid fortification of flours in prevention of neural tube defects: A systematic review

PLoS ONE, 2021
Background Neural tube defects (NTDs) constitute the most frequent group among congenital malformations and are the main cause of neonatal morbimortality. Folic acid (FA) can reduce the risk of pregnancies affected by NTDs.
