Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) driven by antibiotic consumption is a growing global health threat. However, data on antimicrobial consumption patterns in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is sparse. Here, we investigate the patterns of antibiotic sales in humans and livestock in...

This article tests the hypothesis that anthropometrical outcomes in preschool children are a function of complex interaction between food, nutrition, health, and other physical environmental conditions within which children live and grow. A system of simultaneous equations is used to test the abo...

Antimicrobial agents are used widely in veterinary and human medicine worldwide. However, their use has suffered a major setback globally due to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in a wide range of microorganisms. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of AMR in household mi...

Background : Despite recent improvements of wastewater treatment capacities in urban areas of Hanoi, Vietnam, microbial pollution is still considerable. There is a paucity of burden estimates due to gastrointestinal infection in people living along the wastewater system, and among people who are...

More than a decade has passed since Forget and Lebel (2001)introduced the ‘‘ecosystem approach to human health’’. Since this first conceptual elaboration, a significant literature has developed describing validity, utility, and general guidelines for a newly emerging research community. Numerous ...

Large datasets are often not amenable to analysis using traditional single-step approaches. Here, our general objective was to apply imputation techniques, principal component analysis (PCA), elastic net and generalized linear models to a large dataset in a systematic approach to extract the most...
