Undernutrition in early childhood is associated with adverse health and developmental outcomes later in life and remains a persistent global public health problem. Providing small-quantity lipid nutrient supplements (SQ-LNS) to children aged 6-24 months improves child growth and neurodevelopmental o...

CONTEXT: The association between linear growth faltering and child development outcomes is generally well recognized; however, the relationship between metrics of acute undernutrition and development has received less attention. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to quantify the association between metrics of acu...
