Childhood stunting: a global perspective
Tập 12 Số S1 - Trang 12-26 - 2016
AbstractChildhood stunting is the best overall indicator of children's
well‐being and an accurate reflection of social inequalities. Stunting is the
most prevalent form of child malnutrition with an estimated 161 million children
worldwide in 2013 falling below −2 SD from the length‐for‐age/height‐for‐age
World Health Organization Child Growth Standards median. Many more millions
suffer from some ...
Long‐term consequences of stunting in early life
Tập 7 Số s3 - Trang 5-18 - 2011
AbstractThis review summarizes the impact of stunting, highlights recent
research findings, discusses policy and programme implications and identifies
research priorities. There is growing evidence of the connections between slow
growth in height early in life and impaired health and educational and economic
performance later in life. Recent research findings, including follow‐up of an
interventio...
The economic rationale for investing in stunting reduction
Tập 9 Số S2 - Trang 69-82 - 2013
AbstractThis paper outlines the economic rationale for investments that reduce
stunting. We present a framework that illustrates the functional consequences of
stunting in the 1000 days after conception throughout the life cycle: from
childhood through to old age. We summarize the key empirical literature around
each of the links in the life cycle, highlighting gaps in knowledge where they
exist. ...
World Health Organization (WHO) infant and young child feeding indicators: associations with growth measures in 14 low‐income countries
Tập 8 Số 3 - Trang 354-370 - 2012
AbstractEight World Health Organization (WHO) feeding indicators (FIs) and
Demographic and Health Survey data for children <24 months were used to assess
the relationship of child feeding with stunting and underweight in 14 poor
countries. Also assessed were the correlations of FI with country gross national
income (GNI). Prevalence of underweight and stunting increased with age and ≥50%
of 12–23‐...
Tập 10 Số 1 - Trang 1-17 - 2014
AbstractAs the World Health Organization (WHO) infant and young child feeding
(IYCF) indicators are increasingly adopted, a comparison of country‐specific
analyses of the indicators' associations with child growth is needed to examine
the consistency of these relationships across contexts and to assess the
strengths and potential limitations of the indicators. This study aims to
determine cross‐co...
Complementary feeding practices: Current global and regional estimates
Tập 13 Số S2 - 2017
AbstractInsufficient quantities and inadequate quality of complementary foods,
together with poor feeding practices, pose a threat to children's health and
nutrition. Interventions to improve complementary feeding are critical to reduce
all forms of malnutrition, and access to data to ascertain the status of
complementary feeding practices is essential for efforts to improve feeding
behaviours. Ho...
A large‐scale operational study of home‐based therapy with ready‐to‐use therapeutic food in childhood malnutrition in Malawi
Tập 3 Số 3 - Trang 206-215 - 2007
AbstractHome‐based therapy with ready‐to‐use therapeutic food (RUTF) for the
treatment of malnutrition has better outcomes in the research setting than
standard therapy. This study examined outcomes of malnourished children aged
6–60 months enrolled in operational home‐based therapy with RUTF. Children
enrolled in 12 rural centres in southern Malawi were diagnosed with moderate or
severe malnutrit...
Age‐appropriate infant and young child feeding practices are associated with child nutrition in I ndia: insights from nationally representative data
Tập 11 Số 1 - Trang 73-87 - 2015
AbstractAge‐appropriate infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices are
critical to child nutrition. The objective of this paper was to examine the
associations between age‐appropriate IYCF practices and child nutrition outcomes
in India using data from ∼18 463 children of 0–23.9 months old from India's
National Family Health Survey, 2005–06‐3. The outcome measures were child
height‐for‐age z‐...
Maternal common mental disorder and infant growth – a cross‐sectional study from Malawi
Tập 4 Số 3 - Trang 209-219 - 2008
AbstractThe objective of the study was to investigate the association between
maternal common mental disorder (CMD) and infant growth in rural Malawi. A
cross‐sectional study was conducted at a district hospital child health clinic.
Participants were consecutive infants due for measles vaccination, and their
mothers.Mean infant weight‐for‐age and length‐for‐age z‐scores were compared
between infan...
