Childhood stunting and micronutrient status unaffected by RCT of micronutrient fortified drink

Abstract: Micronutrient supplementation is widely used to prevent stunting in children under 5 years in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMIC), but the impact of treatment has been disappointing, possibly due to non‐compliance. Our aim was to deliver long‐term micronutrient supplementation via a novel, culturally acceptable liquid food to improve linear growth in a high stunting prevalence region. In a randomised control trial, 971 children aged 6–72 months received either ‘Chispuditos®’ (n = 681), a hot drink (atole) … Show more

“…The groups did not vary in terms of morbidity, and there was no correlation between HAZ and micronutrient status. 4 In every state in India in 2017, malnutrition was the leading cause of mortality for children under five years old. India leads the world in children who are stunted, which is concerning because the government of India has undertaken a number of flagship projects and schemes.…”

“…Nutrient intake can be enhanced by improving parenting models related to children's food choices. If parenting is already good and there is support in terms of the availability of animal-source foods or sufficient protein, it will contribute to efforts in preventing stunting 18,19 . Infant formula, enriched with protein, is crucial for growth, as well as the appropriate content of fats and carbohydrates to meet the maximum growth needs.…”

“…In addition, complex components such as protein and lipids were essentially delivered to children with stunting and processed as powdered milk or biscuit as supplementary food. Then, the height and weight were measured to monitor the signi cance of the treatment to the progression of stunting 16,17,18,19 .…”
