Sustainable food systems and nutrition in the 21st century: A report from the 22nd annual harvard nutrition obesity symposium
Food systems are at the center of a brewing storm consisting of a rapidly changing climate, rising hunger and malnutrition and significant social inequities.
A systematic review and individual participant data meta-analysis of effects on developmental outcomes and effect modifiers for children age 6-24 months.
Background: Meta-analyses show that small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements (SQ-LNSs) reduce child stunting and wasting. Identification of subgroups who benefit most from SQ-LNSs may facilitate program design.
Background: Small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements (SQ-LNSs) have been shown to reduce the prevalence of child anemia and iron deficiency, but effects on other micronutrients are less well known.
Background: Vitamin A deficiency is a public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa.
Child stunting and linear growth faltering have declined over the past few decades and several countries have made exemplary progress.
Background:
Evidence on the effect of small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements (SQ-LNSs) on early child growth and development is mixed.
