TL;DR: New analyses show that the burden of poor development is higher than estimated, taking into account additional risk factors, and national programmes are needed to support early childhood development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk of poor development in young children in low-income and middle-income countries: an estimation and analysis at the global, regional, and country level.
TL;DR: The number of children exposed to stunting or poverty between 2004 and 2010 decreased and prevalence of children at risk fell from 51% (95% CI 46–56) to 43% (36–51); the decline occurred in all income groups and regions with south Asia experiencing the largest drop.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved nutrition in the first 1000 days and adult human capital and health
TL;DR: The aim of this article is to review why the first 1000 days of life are a vulnerable period of human development and the long‐term effects of a nutrition experiment carried out in Guatemala (1969–1977).

Perspective: What Does Stunting Really Mean? A Critical Review of the Evidence
Jef L. Leroy,Edward A. Frongillo +1 more
TL;DR: This work proposes distinguishing 2 distinctly different meanings of linear growth retardation and stunting, and appeals to donors, program planners, and researchers to be specific in selecting nutrition outcomes and to target those outcomes directly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preventing environmental enteric dysfunction through improved water, sanitation and hygiene: an opportunity for stunting reduction in developing countries.
TL;DR: It is suggested that a package of baby‐WASH interventions that interrupt specific pathways through which feco‐oral transmission occurs in the first two years of a child's life may be central to global stunting reduction efforts.
