Background: Inadequate micronutrient intakes and related deficiencies are a major challenge to global public health. Analyses over the past 10 years have assessed global micronutrient deficiencies and inadequate nutrient supplies, but there have been no global estimates of inadequate micronutrient intakes. We aimed to estimate the global prevalence of inadequate micronutrient intakes for 15 essential micronutrients and to identify dietary nutrient gaps in specific demographic groups and countries.
Methods: In this modelling analysis, we adopted a novel approach to estimating micronutrient intake, which accounts for the shape of a population's nutrient intake distribution and is based on dietary intake data from 31 countries. Using a globally harmonised set of age-specific and sex-specific nutrient requirements, we then applied these distributions to publicly available data from the Global Dietary Database on modelled median intakes of 15 micronutrients for 34 age-sex groups from 185 countries, to estimate the prevalence of inadequate nutrient intakes for 99·3% of the global population.
Findings: On the basis of estimates of nutrient intake from food (excluding fortification and supplementation), more than 5 billion people do not consume enough iodine (68% of the global population), vitamin E (67%), and calcium (66%). More than 4 billion people do not consume enough iron (65%), riboflavin (55%), folate (54%), and vitamin C (53%). Within the same country and age groups, estimated inadequate intakes were higher for women than for men for iodine, vitamin B12, iron, and selenium and higher for men than for women for magnesium, vitamin B6, zinc, vitamin C, vitamin A, thiamin, and niacin.
Interpretation: To our knowledge, this analysis provides the first global estimates of inadequate micronutrient intakes using dietary intake data, highlighting highly prevalent gaps across nutrients and variability by sex. These results can be used by public health practitioners to target populations in need of intervention.

BACKGROUNDHigh-level resistance to sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine threatens the efficacy of WHO-recommended intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) with single-dose sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine to prevent malaria. Monthly IPTp with dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine, a 3-day regimen, is an emerging alternative, but this regimen poses potential implementation and adherence challenges. We aimed to assess adherence to a multiday IPTp with dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine regimen and its delivery effectiveness in routine antenatal care settings in western Kenya.METHODSWe conducted a pragmatic, three-armed, open-label, cluster-randomised trial in antenatal clinics in 18 health-care facilities (six facilities per group) in Kisumu County and Homa Bay County in western Kenya. Clusters were facilities offering routine antenatal care services provided by trained Ministry of Health staff with 100 or more antenatal clinic attendances per month between July, 2018, and June, 2019. Private or mission hospitals, dispensaries, referral hospitals, and trial sites were excluded. Individuals in their first trimester, living with HIV, or who were not attending a scheduled antenatal clinic visit were excluded. The 18 antenatal clinics were grouped into matched triplets stratified by location and clinics in each matched triplet were randomly assigned to one of the three study groups (1:1:1). Masking was not possible. Two groups were given IPTp with dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (one group with a targeted information transfer intervention and one group without any additional interventions) and one group was given the standard of care (ie, IPTp with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine). The primary endpoint, adherence, was defined as the proportion of participants completing their most recent 3-day IPTp with dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine regimen. This completion was verified by pill counts during home visits no more than 2 days after participants' 3-day regimens ended. The secondary endpoint, delivery effectiveness, was defined as the proportion of participants who received the correct number of IPTp tablets and correctly repeated dosing instructions (ie, correctly recalled the instructions they received about self-administered dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine doses and the number of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine tablets they had received) at their exit from the antenatal clinic. Individuals receiving treatment for malaria, visiting a clinic for registration only, or interviewed during IPTp drug stock-outs were excluded from analyses. We used generalised linear mixed models to compare endpoints among the IPTp with dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine groups. This trial was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04160026, and is complete.FINDINGS15 facilities (five per group) completed the trial, with 1189 participants having exit interviews (377 in the IPTp with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine group, 408 in the IPTp with dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine only group, and 404 in the IPTp with dihydroa

The south Asian region (SAR) is home to 1·74 billion people, corresponding to 22% of the global population. The region faces several challenges pertaining to changing epidemiology, rapid urbanisation, and social and economic concerns, which affect health outcomes. Primary health care (PHC) is a cost-effective strategy to respond to these challenges through integrated service delivery, multi-sectoral action, and empowered communities. The PHC approach has historically been an important cornerstone of health policy in SAR countries. However, the region is yet to fully reap the benefits of PHC-oriented health systems. Our introductory paper in this Lancet Series on PHC in the SAR describes the existing PHC delivery structure in five SAR nations (ie, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka) and critically appraises PHC performance to identify its enablers and barriers. The paper proposes investing in a shared culture of innovation and collaboration for revitalisation of PHC in the region.
