Elizabeth W. Kimani-Murage,Kathleen Kahn,Kathleen Kahn,John M. Pettifor,Stephen Tollman,Stephen Tollman,David B. Dunger,Xavier Gómez-Olivé,Shane A. Norris +8 more
TL;DR: The study highlights that in transitional societies, early stunting and adolescent obesity may co-exist in the same socio-geographic population, but variation in factors such as infectious disease burden and physical activity patterns, as well as social influences, need to be investigated.
