Wasting and stunted growth trends seen in the first 1,000 days of a child’s life can influence their future growth and health, according to studies newly published in Nature journal’s Progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (S.D.G.) Collection.
Informing ourselves of these trends is imperative to addressing growth faltering in children, along with understanding the populations and age groups that need the most attention, said the authors of these studies pertaining to S.D.G. 2, which is Zero Hunger.
The studies present longitudinal or long-term, analyses of 33 previously published studies by analysing data from overall 80,000 children from across South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America.
