Background: Adolescence is a transitional period of development from childhood to adulthood characterized by rapid physical, mental and social changes.There are about 36 millionadolescents in Bangladesh comprised of 22% of the population.During adolescence lifetime behaviour are set and provides an opportunity to establish positive dietary behaviour and encourage cultural changes that emphasizes sufficient nutrition in adolescents which can have lifelong impacts on future generation.Due to gender norms, adolescent girls are disproportionately affected by nutritional insufficiency; however, many adolescent boys are also malnourished. Adolescents living in slums are more nutritionally vulnerable than other adolescents. So, we wanted to explore this vulnerability in gender perspective. Methods:This cross-sectional mixed method research approach was conducted to achieve the objectives.Study population was male and female adolescents aged between 10 to 19 years living in slums of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Quantitative data was collected byhousehold survey of 115 adolescents using a pre-tested structured Bangla questionnaire. In Depth Interview guidelines were adopted for qualitative interviews. Around 12 in-depth interviews were audio-recorded to collect qualitative data. Results: About 40.4% male and 47.0% female adolescents were underweight. Around 5% male and 3.4% female adolescents were overweight. Only 1.7% females were obese. Almost 66.7% male and 63.8% female adolescents had lowest dietary diversity score. Approximate 33.0% male and 36.2% female adolescents had medium dietary diversity Score. There was association between sex of respondents with eating vegetables and eating fish (p<0.05). Dietary behavior and eating more foods for female adolescents had significant association with sex of respondents (p<0.05).Female adolescents were expected to learn cooking because they had to feed other members of her in-laws' family, according to the qualitative findings. Food sacrifices were made by females so that other family members could eat more. Conclusion: There is impact of gender in dietary behaviour, nutritional status and nutritional knowledge among male and female adolescents living with family in slums of Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is the presence of hyperglycemia that first gets detected during pregnancy. Studies of lifestyle interventions to prevent GDM show mixed results. Prevalence of GDM in India can be up to 30%. India is a culturally, linguistically and economically diverse and complex low-and middle-income country (LMIC). Thus, knowledge on the various determinants of ‘adherence to lifestyle intervention’ among women at risk of and had recent history of GDM is mandatory for effective co-development of complex interventions. This study aimed to identify the various barriers and facilitators that underpin the adherence to lifestyle interventions between two pregnancies among Indian women. Qualitative research methodology, using focus group discussions was followed. Two focus group discussions (one with low socio-economic status (SES), another with high SES women) with 13 participants (8 GDM, 5 non-GDM) were conducted. Systematic text condensation was used for thematic analysis of data. Analyses of the two focus group data identified many potential themes. Among low SES women, ‘lack of family support’ is identified as the biggest barrier. All women expressed that women’s health is generally neglected in most Indian families, especially with diet, physical activity and seeking professional advice. Other factors included poor knowledge on prevention, difficulty in finding time for themselves after delivery, and imposition of age-old traditional myths. Among high SES women, lack of motivation and time is identified as the most common theme. Working women found it difficult to follow any diet and exercise plans. Other factors were shift of attention to baby’s health from their own, other priorities and difficulty to exercise with a new born. This study unveils many crucial unexplored factors that would influence adherence to lifestyle intervention among Indian women. Potential solutions to these factors should be ‘co-developed’. Implementation of such tailored, individualized lifestyle interventions is required to prevent recurrent GDM and/or type 2 diabetes post GDM in this high-risk population.
