(08 / 2023)
articleMicronutrient deficiencies and stunting are prevalent. We assessed correlates of iron, cobalamin, folate, and vitamin A biomarkers in a cross-sectional study of stunted children aged 12–59 months in eastern Uganda. The ... -
Correlates of Plasma Citrulline, a Potential Marker of Enterocyte Mass, among Children with Stunting : A Cross-Sectional Study in Uganda
(02 / 2024)
articleBackground: Environmental enteric dysfunction (EED) is associated with stunting. Citrulline, produced in mature enterocytes, may be a valuable biomarker of small intestinal enterocyte mass in the context of EED. Objectives: ... -
Effect of lipid-based nutrient supplements on micronutrient status and hemoglobin among children with stunting : secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial in Uganda
(03 / 2024)
articleBackground: Micronutrient deficiencies and anemia are widespread among children with stunting. Objectives: We assessed the effects of lipid-based nutrient supplements (LNS) containing milk protein (MP) and/or whey permeate ... -
Effect of milk protein and whey permeate in large quantity lipid-based nutrient supplement on linear growth and body composition among stunted children : A randomized 2 × 2 factorial trial in Uganda
(05 / 2023)
articleBACKGROUND: Despite possible benefits for growth, milk is costly to include in foods for undernourished children. Furthermore, the relative effects of different milk components, milk protein (MP), and whey permeate (WP) ... -
Effect of Milk Protein and Whey Permeate in Large-Quantity Lipid-Based Nutrient Supplement on Early Child Development among Children with Stunting : A Randomized 2 × 2 Factorial Trial in Uganda
(06 / 2023)
articleStunting affects 22% children globally, putting them at risk of adverse outcomes including delayed development. We investigated the effect of milk protein (MP) vs. soy and whey permeate (WP) vs. maltodextrin in large-quantity, ... -
Impact of food supplements on early child development in children with moderate acute malnutrition : A randomised 2 x 2 x 3 factorial trial in Burkina Faso
(12 / 2020)
articleBACKGROUND: Lipid-based nutrient supplements (LNS) and corn-soy blends (CSBs) with varying soy and milk content are used in treatment of moderate acute malnutrition (MAM). We assessed the impact of these supplements on ... -
Micronutrient Status and Other Correlates of Hemoglobin among Children with Stunting : A Cross-Sectional Study in Uganda
(08 / 2023)
articleIn low-income countries, undernutrition and infections play a major role in childhood anemia. Stunted children may be at particular risk of anemia. In a cross-sectional study nested in a nutrition trial among 12–59-month-old ... -
Nutritional treatment of children 6–59 months with severely low weight-for-age z-score : a study protocol for a 3-arm randomized controlled trial
(01 / 2024)
articleBackground: Admission criteria that treat children with low mid-upper-arm circumference (MUAC), and low weight-for-height z-score (WHZ) are not aligned with the evidence on which children are at risk of mortality. An ... -
Predictors of change in early child development among children with stunting : Secondary analysis of a randomized trial in Uganda
(15.08.2024)
articleMillions of children under 5 years in low- and middle-income countries fail to attain their development potential with accruing short- and long-term consequences. Low length/height for age (stunting) is known to be a key ... -
Predictors of time to recovery and non-response during outpatient treatment of severe acute malnutrition
(2022)
articleBACKGROUND: Every year, over 4 million children are treated for severe acute malnutrition with varying program performance. This study sought to explore the predictors of time to recovery from and non-response to outpatient ... -
The relationship between energy provided and growth during severe wasting treatment
(2024)
articleTreatment of severe acute malnutrition aims at producing quick catch-up growth in children to decrease their short-term mortality risk. The extent to which catch-up growth is influenced by the amount of energy provided is ... -
The Role of Milk Protein and Whey Permeate in Lipid-based Nutrient Supplements on the Growth and Development of Stunted Children in Uganda : A Randomized Trial Protocol (MAGNUS)
(01.05.2021)
articleStunting is associated with cognitive impairment and later chronic disease. Previous trials to prevent stunting have had little effect, and no trials seem to have provided larger amounts of energy and high-quality proteins ... -
Serum cobalamin in children with moderate acute malnutrition in Burkina Faso : Secondary analysis of a randomized trial
(03 / 2022)
articleBACKGROUND: Among children with moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) the level of serum cobalamin (SC) and effect of food supplements are unknown. We aimed to assess prevalence and correlates of low SC in children with MAM, ... -
Vitamin B12 Status before and after Outpatient Treatment of Severe Acute Malnutrition in Children Aged 6–59 Months : A Sub-Study of a Randomized Controlled Trial in Burkina Faso
(08 / 2023)
articleSevere acute malnutrition (SAM) is treated with ready-to-use therapeutic foods (RUTF) containing a vitamin–mineral premix. Yet little is known about micronutrient status in children with SAM before and after treatment. We ... -
Weight and mid-upper arm circumference gain velocities during treatment of young children with severe acute malnutrition, a prospective study in Uganda
(2021)
