Cesar G. Victora,Rajiv Bahl,Aluísio J D Barros,Giovanny Vinícius Araújo de França,Susan Horton,Julia Krasevec,Simon Murch,Mari Jeeva Sankar,Neff Walker,Nigel Rollins +9 more
TL;DR: The meta-analyses indicate protection against child infections and malocclusion, increases in intelligence, and probable reductions in overweight and diabetes, and an increase in tooth decay with longer periods of breastfeeding.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Although these estimates suggest some progress in reducing LBW between 2000 and 2015, achieving the 2·74% AARR required between 2012 and 2025 to meet the global nutrition target will require more than doubling progress, involving both improved measurement and programme investments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mercedes de Onis,Elaine Borghi,Mary Arimond,Patrick Webb,Trevor Croft,Kuntal K. Saha,Luz Maria De-Regil,Faith Thuita,Rebecca Heidkamp,Julia Krasevec,Chika Hayashi,Rafael Flores-Ayala +11 more
TL;DR: Thresholds can be used for descriptive purposes to map countries according to severity levels; by donors and global actors to identify priority countries for action; and by governments to trigger action and target programmes aimed at achieving ‘low’ or ‘very low’ levels.
