Child undernutrition, tropical enteropathy, toilets, and handwashing
TL;DR: Child underweight state or stunting mainly develops during the first 2 years of life, when mean weight- for-age and length-for-age Z scores of children in Africa and Asia drop to about –2·0, with little or no recovery thereafter.
Journal ArticleDOI
The stunting syndrome in developing countries
TL;DR: The mechanisms underlying linear growth failure at different ages are described, the short-, medium- and long-term consequences of stunting are discussed, and the evidence for windows of opportunity during the life cycle to target interventions at the stunting syndrome are evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: EBF may substantially reduce breastfeeding-associated HIV transmission, and early mixed breastfeeding was associated with a greater PNT risk at 6, 12, and 18 months, compared with EBF.
Journal ArticleDOI
