Introduction: Ukraine has made a commitment to reduce preventable deaths of newborns and children under 5 years of age, within the framework of the relevant task of the Sustainable Development Goals. For a purposeful and effective struggle, it is necessary to realize the scope and structure of losses. The aim: Identify differences in child mortality rates in Ukraine compared to other countries, to calculate and estimate the number of years of potential life lost (YPLL) due toinfant mortality. Materials and methods: The information base of the study was official data of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine on the distribution of the deceased by age and causes of death in 2017 and World Health Statistics 2016 data. The method of potential demography was used to estimate demographic losses. Review: In Ukraine, in 2017 the absolute number of years of potential life lost (YPLL) was estimated to be almost 217,000 person-years due to under-five mortality, most of them - more than 179,000 person-years - due to infant mortality. The rest were losses due to mortality within the interval of 1-4 years - almost 40 thousand person-years. 55.6% of all potential life losses due to infant mortality determined Certain conditions occurring in the perinatal period, Congenital malformations, deformities and chromosomal anomalies - 23.4%. Conclusions: Ukraine has significant reserves for reducing under five mortality rates, primarily through minimization of preventable mortality.

In 2000, the United Nations adopted the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), a set of eight global development goals to be achieved between 2000 and 2015. We estimated the Lorenz Curve and Gini Index for determining any changes in inequality at the global level with countries as a unit of analysis for eight development indicators (proportion of population undernourished, school enrollment rates, the percentage of women in parliament, infant mortality rates, maternal mortality rates, HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) rates, access to improved water sources, and access to a cellular device), representing one MDG each. All of the selected indicators improved on average between 2000 and 2015. An average improvement in an indicator does not necessarily imply a decrease in inequality. For instance, the average infant mortality rate decreased from 39.17 deaths per 1000 births in 2000 to 23.40 in 2015, but the Gini Index remained almost stable over the same period, suggesting no reduction in inequality among countries. For other indicators, inequality among countries decreased at varying rates. A significant data gap existed across countries. For example, only 91 countries had data on primary school enrollment rates in 2000 and 2015. We emphasize developing a global data collection and analysis protocol for measuring the impacts of global development programs, especially in reducing inequality across social, economic, and environmental indicators. This study will feed into currently enacted Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for ensuring more inclusive and equitable growth worldwide.

Significance. World Health Organization correlates breastfeeding with at least eight out of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. However, in the Russian Federation breastfeeding issues are not reflected in any of the Federal programs of the national projects “Demography” and “Health Care”. Purpose of the study: to scientifically substantiate the need for including measures to encourage and maintain breastfeeding in the Russian national programs related to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, based on the analysis of modern literature. Material and methods. The study included sources available from the English-language database PubMed. A total of 57 sources were selected out of 317 findings by keywords “human milk composition and bioactivity”, “breastfeeding and Sustainable Development Goals”, “breastfeeding short-term and long-term benefits” and “breastfeeding and potential lives saved”. Results. The study revealed unique biologically active components of the human milk and mechanisms of their impact on prevention of infectious and non-communicable diseases as well as programming of health in adult life. Breastfeeding has a positive impact on mothers’ and children’ health. The increased rate of breastfeeding could globally prevent 823,000 or 13.8% of deaths among children under 2 yearly and 22216 deaths from breast cancer among women. Lack of breastfeeding is associated with lower intelligence and higher economic costs adding up to about $ 302 billion annually, or 0.49% of the world's gross national income. There are unfavorable trends in prevalence and duration of breastfeeding worldwide. The healthcare has a leading role to play in implementing measures to encourage and maintain breastfeeding. Conclusion. It is necessary to incorporate measures to encourage and maintain breastfeeding in the Russian national programs related to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Implementation and further development of the WHO/UNICEF “Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative” in the Russian Federation can become the cornerstone in increasing the level of breastfeeding with the participation of the health sector. Scope of application. Executive and health authorities at all levels, mother and child health facilities, national programs

Abstract In this article, we examine the essential role of law in achieving the health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Following the World Health Organization’s broad definition of health, all SDGs can be seen to impact on human health and hence the health goal (SDG3) should be right at the centre of the entire 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. We note recent research on the contribution of law, including international human rights law, to achieving health for all and discuss the role of law in addressing seven emerging health challenges. Law can and should play an important role in achieving all health-related SDGs, by respecting, protecting and fulfilling the right to health, ensuring that no one is left behind.

Latar belakang. Obesitas pada balita menjadi perhatian World Health Organization (WHO) dengan menetapkan masalah obesitas sebagai salah satu indikator untuk mengatasi masalah melalui Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Pada tahun 2015, prevalensi obesitas balita secara global mencapai 6,2% atau 42 juta balita. Faktor penyebab obesitas di antaranya adalah durasi tidur, asupan makanan, dan aktivitas fisik.Tujuan. Untuk menganalisis hubungan durasi tidur, asupan makanan, dan aktivitas fisik dengan kejadian obesitas pada balita usia 3-5 tahun beserta tingkat risiko di wilayah Kota Yogyakarta. Metode. Jenis penelitian ini adalah kasus-kontrol dengan jumlah total subjek adalah 144 balita di wilayah Kota Yogyakarta. Jumlah subjek pada masing-masing kelompok adalah 72 balita. Data durasi tidur diperoleh melalui kuesioner Children’s Sleep Habit Questionnaire (CSHQ) tervalidasi, data asupan makanan dikumpulkan dengan kuesioner recall makan 2x24 jam, dan data aktivitas fisik diperoleh dari kuesioner recall aktivitas fisik 24 jam. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji Chi- square dan regresi logistik. Hasil. Terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara durasi tidur, asupan makanan, dan aktivitas fisik dengan kejadian obesitas pada balita usia 3-5 tahun (p<0,005). Balita dengan durasi tidur kurang (lama tidur <10 jam) berisiko menjadi obesitas 2,5 (OR=2,49; IK95%: 1,04-5,93) kali lebih besar dibandingkan dengan balita dengan durasi tidur yang cukup (lama tidur ≥10jam). Balita dengan asupan makanan lebih (asupan energi >110 % AKG) berisiko menjadi obesitas 4,4 (OR=4,42; IK95%: 2,02-9,69) kali lebih besar dibandingkan dengan balita dengan asupan makanan cukup (asupan energi 80-110% AKG). Balita dengan aktivitas fisik sangat ringan (PAL<1,5) berisiko menjadi obesitas 6,1 (OR=6,15; IK95%: 2,73-13,85) dibandingkan dengan balita dengan aktivitas fisik ringan atau sedang. Kesimpulan. Durasi tidur, asupan makanan, dan aktivitas fisik, secara signifikan berhubungan dengan kejadian obesitas pada balita usia 3-5 tahun.

Both child mortality and water stress are included into the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Existing studies have explored the relationship between child mortality and water stress with different perspectives, however, the results vary due to differences in methods and context. There is still insufficient cross-country comparative research on the association between child mortality and water stress under the framework of SDGs. This article uses data of 20 developing countries to explore the association between child mortality and water stress, based on the path analysis methodology. The results show that in term of statistics, the level of water stress is negatively but insignificantly associated with child mortality in developing countries. This unconventional result is explained by a number of possible reasons such as high reliance on food importation in some developing countries, and also the indirect link between water stress and child mortality via a country’s socioeconomic development (measured by national poverty rate). The results enrich scientific knowledge of and provide practical implications to the interactions between SDGs.

Development Goals

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) have become the international framework for sustainability policy. Its legacy is linked with the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), established in 2000. In this paper a scientometric analysis was conducted to: (1) Present a new methodological approach to identify the research output related to both SDGs and MDGs (M&amp;SDGs) from 2000 to 2017, with the aim of mapping the global research related to M&amp;SDGs; (2) Describe the thematic specialization based on keyword co-occurrence analysis and citation bursts; and (3) Classify the scientific output into individual SDGs (based on an ad-hoc glossary) and assess SDGs interconnections. Publications conceptually related to M&amp;SDGs (defined by the set of M&amp;SDG core publications and a scientometric expansion based on direct citations) were identified in the in-house CWTS Web of Science database. A total of 25,299 publications were analyzed, of which 21,653 (85.59%) were authored by Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) or academic research centers (RCs). The findings reveal the increasing participation of these organizations in this research (660 institutions in 2000–2005 to 1,744 institutions involved in 2012–2017). Some institutions present both a high production and specialization on M&amp;SDG topics (e.g., London School of Hygiene &amp; Tropical Medicine and World Health Organization); and others with a very high specialization although lower production levels (e.g., Stockholm Environment Institute). Regarding the specific topics of research, health (especially in developing countries), women, and socio-economic issues are the most salient. Moreover, it has been observed an important interlinkage in the research outputs of some SDGs (e.g., SDG11 “Sustainable Cities and Communities” and SDG3 “Good Health and Well-Being”). This study provides first evidence of such interconnections, and the results of this study could be useful for policymakers in order to promote a more evidenced-based setting for their research agendas on SDGs.
