TLDR
It is estimated that childhood undernutrition may have its origins in the foetal period, suggesting a need to intervene early, ideally during pregnancy, with interventions known to reduce FGR and preterm birth.Citations

Maternal and child undernutrition and overweight in low-income and middle-income countries
Robert E. Black,Cesar G. Victora,Susan P. Walker,Zulfiqar A Bhutta,Parul Christian,Mercedes de Onis,Majid Ezzati,Sally Grantham-McGregor,Sally Grantham-McGregor,Joanne Katz,Reynaldo Martorell,Ricardo Uauy +11 more
TL;DR: It is estimated that undernutrition in the aggregate--including fetal growth restriction, stunting, wasting, and deficiencies of vitamin A and zinc along with suboptimum breastfeeding--is a cause of 3·1 million child deaths annually or 45% of all child deaths in 2011.

Every Newborn: progress, priorities, and potential beyond survival

TL;DR: National targets for 2035 are proposed for stillbirths and neonatal deaths, compatible with the under-5 mortality targets of no more than 20 per 1000 livebirths, and targets for 2030 are given.
Journal ArticleDOI
Childhood stunting: a global perspective.
TL;DR: It is shown that stunting is the best overall indicator of children's well‐being and an accurate reflection of social inequalities and the challenge is to prevent linear growth failure while keeping child overweight and obesity at bay.
Journal ArticleDOI
The stunting syndrome in developing countries
TL;DR: The mechanisms underlying linear growth failure at different ages are described, the short-, medium- and long-term consequences of stunting are discussed, and the evidence for windows of opportunity during the life cycle to target interventions at the stunting syndrome are evaluated.

National, regional, and worldwide estimates of low birthweight in 2015, with trends from 2000: a systematic analysis.

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.

Maternal and child undernutrition: global and regional exposures and health consequences

TL;DR: The high mortality and disease burden resulting from these nutrition-related factors make a compelling case for the urgent implementation of interventions to reduce their occurrence or ameliorate their consequences.

TL;DR: Worldwide, regional, and national estimates of preterm birth rates for 184 countries in 2010 with time trends for selected countries are reported, and a quantitative assessment of the uncertainty surrounding these estimates is provided.

What's the relative risk? A method of correcting the odds ratio in cohort studies of common outcomes.
Jun Zhang,Kai F. Yu +1 more
TL;DR: This work proposes a simple method to approximate a risk ratio from the adjusted odds ratio and derive an estimate of an association or treatment effect that better represents the true relative risk.

4 million neonatal deaths: When? Where? Why?
TL;DR: The proportion of child deaths that occurs in the neonatal period (38% in 2000) is increasing, and the Millennium Development Goal for child survival cannot be met without substantial reductions in neonatal mortality.
