Effect of Zinc Supplementation on Growth Outcomes in Children under 5 Years of Age.
Enju Liu,Laura Pimpin,Masha Shulkin,Sarah Kranz,Christopher Duggan,Dariush Mozaffarian,Wafaie W. Fawzi +6 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that zinc supplementation in infants and early childhood, but not pregnancy, increases specific growth outcomes, with evidence for a potentially stronger effect after 2 years of age.

A Young Child Feeding Index Is Not Associated with Either Height-for-Age or Height Velocity in Rural Senegalese Children
Balthazar Ntab,Kirsten B. Simondon,Jacqueline Milet,Badara Cisse,Badara Cisse,Cheikh Sokhna,Denis Boulanger,François Simondon +7 more
TL;DR: The composite feeding index was independent of height and linear growth in these rural African children, due in part to reverse causality between breast-feeding duration and stunting.

Journal ArticleDOI
Agronomic Approach of Zinc Biofortification Can Increase Zinc Bioavailability in Wheat Flour and thereby Reduce Zinc Deficiency in Humans.
TL;DR: Zn bioavailability and the health impact, as indicated by disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) saved, increased with the Zn application rate and were greater in standard and refined flour than in whole grain and coarse flour.

Effect on longitudinal growth and anemia of zinc or multiple micronutrients added to vitamin A: a randomized controlled trial in children aged 6-24 months
Meera Chhagan,Meera Chhagan,Jan Van den Broeck,Kany-Kany A. Luabeya,Nontobeko Mpontshane,Andrew Tomkins,Michael L. Bennish +6 more
TL;DR: Daily multiple micronutrient supplementation combined with vitamin A was beneficial in improving growth among children with stunting, compared to Vitamin A alone or to vitamin A plus zinc.
