Disaster endangers the nutritional health of children with resulting effects on their mental, physical, and social well-being. Adequate infant and young child feeding (IYCF) in disaster prevents malnutrition and save lives. Although much progress has been made in nutritional support in disaster, malnutrition among children is still evident. This scoping review study was conducted to identify gaps in child nutrition in disaster. Published articles (1946-2020) in PubMed were sought primarily and w

In contemporary global society, largely because of climate change and other natural and human-induced hazards, disasters are an almost daily occurrence. The nutritional impact of disasters on children results in long-term physical and mental health problems.

International students in Japan demonstrated better HL than Japanese university students. Educational institutions must take a more proactive role in fostering HL for all students through general health education and peer-to-peer programs to create a more informed, healthy, and productive student community.

Although international students had a lower prevalence of good HS as compared to Japanese students, the direction of the association differs based on the level of HL.

Immigrants often face numerous health-related challenges, which may result in a lower health status (HS) as compared with the domestic population. This study examined the association between nationality and HS among university students in Japan and the role of health literacy (HL) on this association. Web-based self-administered surveys were conducted with 1,366 university students across six of Japan’s eight regions between February 20 and August 10, 2023. Nationality and HS were measured using
