TLDR
The MAL-ED study represents a novel analytical framework and explicitly evaluates multiple putative EE pathways in combination and using an unprecedented quantity of data to demonstrate that enteric infection alters both fecal markers of inflammation and permeability.

Environmental enteric dysfunction pathways and child stunting: A systematic review.

TL;DR: It is suggested that certain EED biomarkers may require reconsideration, particularly those most difficult to measure, such as microbial translocation and intestinal permeability, because of the lack of evidence of relationships among domains and between each domain with stunting.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stunting in childhood: an overview of global burden, trends, determinants, and drivers of decline.

TL;DR: Unique sets of stunting determinants predicted stunting reduction within countries that have reduced stunting, and several common drivers emerge at the basic, underlying, and immediate levels, including improvements in maternal and paternal education, household socioeconomic status, sanitation conditions, maternal health services access, and family planning.

Relationship between growth and illness, enteropathogens and dietary intakes in the first 2 years of life: findings from the MAL-ED birth cohort study

TL;DR: Reducing enteropathogen burden and improving energy and protein density of complementary foods could reduce stunting.
Journal ArticleDOI

Environmental enteric dysfunction and child stunting.

TL;DR: The existing literature surrounding the proposed pathology and transmission of EED in infants and considerations for nutrition and WASH interventions to improve linear growth worldwide are reviewed.

Anthropometric standardization reference manual

TL;DR: This abridged version of the "Anthropometric Standardisation Reference Manual" contains the heart of the original manual - complete procedures for 45 anthropometric measurements.

JAGS: A program for analysis of Bayesian graphical models using Gibbs sampling

TL;DR: JAGS is a program for Bayesian Graphical modelling which aims for compatibility with Classic BUGS and could eventually be developed as an R package.

Causal diagrams for epidemiologic research.

TL;DR: Causal diagrams can provide a starting point for identifying variables that must be measured and controlled to obtain unconfounded effect estimates and provide a method for critical evaluation of traditional epidemiologic criteria for confounding.

Maternal pesticide exposure from multiple sources and selected congenital anomalies.

TL;DR: Investigating multiple sources of potential pesticide exposures without more specific information on chemical and level of exposure could not adequately discriminate whether the observed effects are valid, whether biased exposure reporting contributed to the observed elevated risks, or whether nonspecific measurement of exposure was responsible for many of the observed estimated risks not being elevated.
