Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Medicine 1453. 73 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-513-0305-5. Stunted growth affects one in four children under the age of five years and comes with great costs for the child and society. With an increased understanding of the long-term consequences of chronic undernutrition the reduction of stunted growth has become an important priority on the global health agenda. WHO has adopted a resolution to reduce stunting by 40% by the year 2025 and to reduce stunting is one of the targets under the Sustainable Development Goals. The aim of this thesis was to study linear growth trajectories, risk factors and consequences of stunting and recovery of stunting from fetal life to adolescence in a rural Bangladeshi setting and to assess the cost-effectiveness of a prenatal nutrition intervention for under-five survival and stunting.

    WHA Global Nutrition Targets 2025: 1 Stunting Policy Brief TARGET: 40% reduction in the number of children under-5 who are stunted WHO/Antonio Suarez Weise What’s at stake In 2012, the World Health Assembly Resolution 65.6 endorsed a Comprehensive implementation plan on maternal, infant and young child nutrition1, which specified six global nutrition targets for 20252. This policy brief covers the first target: a 40% reduction in the number of children under-5 who are stunted. The purpose of this policy brief is to increase attention to, investment in, and action for a set of cost-effective interventions and policies that can help Member States and their partners in reducing stunting rates among children aged under 5 years. Childhood stunting is one of the most significant be stunted in 2025. Therefore, further investment impediments to human development, globally and action are necessary to the 2025 WHA target of affecting approximately 162 million children under reducing that number to 100 million. the age of 5 years.

Bhutta, in PhD a,Health b and CONTEXT: Nutrition: A Systematic Reviewabstract Although effective health and nutrition interventions for reducing child mortality and morbidity exist, direct evidence of effects on cognitive, motor, and psychosocial OBJECTIVE: development is lacking. To review existing evidence for health and nutrition interventions affecting direct DATA SOURCES: measures of (and pathways to) early child development. Reviews and recent overviews of interventions across the continuum of care and STUDY SELECTION: component studies. We selected systematic reviews detailing the effectiveness of health or nutrition interventions that have plausible links to child development and/or contain direct DATA EXTRACTION: measures of cognitive, motor, and psychosocial development. RESULTS: A team of reviewers independently extracted data and assessed their quality. Sixty systematic reviews contained the outcomes of interest. Various interventions reduced morbidity and improved child growth, but few had direct measures of child development. Of particular benefit were food and micronutrient supplementation for mothers to reduce the risk of small for gestational age and iodine deficiency, strategies to reduce iron deficiency anemia in infancy, and early neonatal care (appropriate resuscitation, delayed cord clamping, and Kangaroo Mother Care). Neuroprotective interventions for imminent preterm birth showed the largest effect sizes (antenatal corticosteroids for developmental delay: risk ratio 0.49, 95% confidence interval 0.24 to 1.00; magnesium LIMITATIONS: sulfate for gross motor dysfunction: risk ratio 0.61, 95% confidence interval 0.44 to 0.85). Given the focus on high-quality studies captured in leading systematic reviews, CONCLUSIONS: only effects reported within studies included in systematic reviews were captured.

Child development; Methods: This was a cross-sectional, predictive correlation study with all 92 children aged Child health 24---36 months who attended the municipal early childhood education network in a town in the Vale do Jequitinhonha region, in 2011. The socioeconomic profile was determined using the questionnaire of the Associac¸ão Brasileira de Empresas de Pesquisa. The socio-demographicand maternal and child health profiles were created through a self-prepared questionnaire. The height-for-age indicator was selected to represent growth. Cognitive/language development was assessed through the Bayley Scale of Infant and Toddler Development. The quality of educa- tional environments was assessed by Infant/Toddler Environment Scale; the home environment was assessed by the Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment. The neighbor- hood quality was determined by a self-prepared questionnaire. A multivariate linear regression analysis was performed. Results: Families were predominantly from socioeconomic class D, with low parental educa- tion. The prevalence of stunted growth was 14.1%; cognitive and language development were below average at 28.6% and 28.3%, respectively.

  • Characterizing Early Child Growth Patterns of Height-For-Age in An
    Zhang et al. BMC Pediatrics (2017) 17:84 DOI 10.1186/s12887-017-0831-y RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Characterizing early child growth patterns of height-for-age in an urban slum cohort of Bangladesh with functional principal component analysis Yin Zhang1, Jianhui Zhou1, Feiyang Niu1, Jeffrey R. Donowitz2, Rashidul Haque3, William A. Petri Jr4 and Jennie Z. Ma5* Abstract Background: Early childhood is a critical stage of physical and cognitive growth that forms the foundation of future wellbeing. Stunted growth is presented in one of every 4 children worldwide and contributes to developmental impairment and under-five mortality. Better understanding of early growth patterns should allow for early detection and intervention in malnutrition. We aimed to characterize early child growth patterns and quantify the change of growth curves from the World Health Organization (WHO) Child Growth Standards. Methods: In a cohort of 626 Bangladesh children, longitudinal height-for-age z-scores (HAZ) were modelled over the first 24 months of life using functional principal component analysis (FPCA). Deviation of individual growth from the WHO standards was quantified based on the leading functional principal components (FPCs), and growth faltering was detected as it occurred. The risk factors associated with growth faltering were identified in a linear regression. Results: Ninety-eight percent of temporal variation in growth trajectories over the first 24 months of life was captured by two leading FPCs (FPC1 for overall growth and FPC2 for change in growth trajectory). A derived index, adj-FPC2, quantified the change in growth trajectory (i.e., growth faltering) relative to the WHO standards.
