Abstract Background Small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements (SQ-LNS) reduce child stunting and provide many of the fatty acids and micronutrients that are necessary for rapid brain development that occurs during infancy and early childhood. Positive effects of SQ-LNS on developmental outcome...

ABSTRACT Background Small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements (SQ-LNS) have been shown to reduce the prevalence of anemia and iron deficiency among infants and young children, but effects on other micronutrients are less well known. Identifying subgroups who may experience greater benefits fro...

SUMMARY Background Globally, stunting affects ∼150 million children under five, while wasting affects nearly 50 million. Current interventions have had limited effectiveness in ameliorating long-term sequelae of undernutrition including stunting, cognitive deficits and immune dysfunction. Disrupted ...

Background: Selenium (Se), an essential trace mineral, has been implicated in preterm birth (PTB). We aimed to determine the association of maternal Se concentrations during pregnancy with PTB risk and gestational duration in a large number of samples collected from diverse populations. Methods: Ges...

BACKGROUND: In Bangladesh, utilization of government health facility-based growth monitoring and promotion (GMP) services is notably low, prompting non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to collaborate with the government to enhance GMP service utilization through home-based delivery. Despite this, t...

Background Existing gestational weight gain (GWG) charts vary considerably in their choice of exclusion/inclusion criteria, and it is unclear to what extent these criteria create differences in the charts' percentile values. Objectives We aimed to establish the impact of including/excluding pregnanc...

OBJECTIVE: To examine the prevalence of large-for-gestational age (LGA) and macrosomia in 23 countries between 2000 and 2021. DESIGN: Descriptive multi-country secondary data analysis. SETTING: Subnational, population-based cohort studies (k = 45 for LGA, k = 25 for macrosomia) in 23 low- and middle...

We write in response to the commentary by Gupta et al. (2023) on small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements (SQ-LNS) for infants and young children 6 to 24 months of age, which was prompted by the recent brief guidance note from UNICEF (2023) explaining when, why and how SQ-LNS are being priori...

The delivery platform for growth monitoring and promotion (GMP) programs to improve child nutrition remains debated. This study compared the impact of facility-based plus non-governmental organization supported home-based GMP (FGMP + NGO-supported HGMP) versus facility-based GMP (FGMP) on child nutr...

Background: Approximately 12% of all diarrhoeal episodes last for 7-13 days. As such, they are termed prolonged diarrhoea, and are associated with over two-thirds of all diarrhoeal deaths. Due to a lack of robust data, we aimed to evaluate a comparative background characteristics of young children w...

Introduction The WHO cut-offs to define anaemia among children (haemoglobin, Hb <105 g/L in 6–23 months and <110 g/L in 24–59 months) are based on the distribution of Hb concentrations in a healthy population. Our objective was to identify Hb values that best discriminate functional outcomes a...

Abstract Introduction In Bangladesh, growth monitoring and promotion (GMP) is delivered through both facility-based (FGMP) and non-government organisation (NGO)-supported home-plus-facility approaches (HGMP+FGMP). The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted health services, but little is known about the resilie...
