To effectively address anemia, countries must develop a context-specific understanding of their anemia situation. SPRING developed “Understanding Anemia: Guidance for Conducting a Landscape Analysis” to provide step-by-step support for gathering and interpreting data on factors that contribute to anemia and existing strategies for anemia prevention and control.

A multi-sectoral approach is often thought to be the most effective way to address undernutrition.
This review describes the evidence linking birth outcomes to risk of developing diabetes mellitus (DM). DM prevalence is increasing unacceptably, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), placing a heavy burden of morbidity on individuals and driving higher health care costs and lower productivity.
Current analysis of maternal and child nutrition programs is often confined to looking at a few direct outcomes over a set period of time, such as change in nutritional status or pregnancy outcomes–occasionally analysis extends to changes in mortality in the near term period.
This Phase I report describes a simulation model for early-life nutrition linkages to noncommunicable disease (ELN-NCD) that SPRING developed to yield a more complete understanding of the value of early-life nutrition interventions.

Background and objectives: Country and regional profiles have been established to provide an overview of the relationship between early life nutrition status and later life nutrition-related non-communicable diseases (N-RNCDs) in two regions (Africa and Asia) and ten countries. This poster focuses on the African region as well as Ethiopia and Zambia.
This SPRING regional profile provides an overview of early life nutrition status and later life nutrition-related noncommunicable diseases (N-RNCDs) in South and Southeast (SSE) Asia.1 The profile also provides context to the national and sub-national analyses presented in the SPRING
