TL;DR: Examination of the effects of the disaster and subsequent reconstruction on the trajectory of linear child growth in children who were in-utero at the time of the tsunami until 2009–10 provides evidence of substantial scope for catch-up growth in height for most children after a large-scale natural disaster and extremely successful reconstruction effort.

TL;DR: This article found that children from families with relatively low levels of human and financial capital fare better with respect to health status when their mothers are more active participants in community organizations than those from relatively privileged families.

TL;DR: It is suggested that collection conditions, particularly humidity, affect the quality of the DBS-based measures, and cross-validating D BS-based HbA1c values with venous samples collected under exactly the same environmental conditions is a prudent investment in population-based studies
