  • Growth and cognition over eight years in three sites of the MAL-ED cohort study

    Open AccessAmber R Huggins, Rebecca J Scharf et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    The objective of this study was to examine if height at 2 years, 5 years, and 6–8 years of age was related to school-age cognitive development in low resource settings. Some studies report improved scores in those who catch up, while others found no improvement. We hypothesize that persistent stunting will be negatively associated with cognition and that children who experienced catch-up growth would show improved cognition.Follow-up anthropometr…

  • Influences on catch-up growth using relative versus absolute metrics

    Open AccessStephanie A Richard, Benjamin J J Mccormick et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    The study children demonstrated improved growth from 24 to 60 months of age, but only a subset had positive changes in HAD and WAD. The same environmental factors were associated with growth from 24 to 60 months regardless of metric used (change in HAZ or HAD, or WAZ and WAD)

  • Psychosocial and environmental determinants of child cognitive development in rural south africa and tanzania

    Open AccessFabrizio Drago, Rebecca J Scharf et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    This study shows a stronger association with child cognitive development at 5 years of age for socioeconomic status compared to more proximal measures of psychosocial and environmental determinants. A better understanding of the role of these factors is needed to inform interventions aiming to alleviate the burden of compromised cognitive development for children in LMICs

  • Early childhood growth and cognitive outcomes

    Open AccessRebecca J Scharf, Elizabeth T Rogawski et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2018

    Although many studies around the world hope to measure or improve developmental progress in children to promote community flourishing and productivity, growth is sometimes used as a surrogate because cognitive skills are more difficult to measure. Our objective was to assess how childhood measures of anthropometry correlate with measures of child development in low-income settings with high prevalence of poor nutrition and enteric disease, to inf…

  • Associations of land, cattle and food security with infant feeding practices among a rural population living in Manyara, Tanzania

    Open AccessBailey Hanselman, Ramya Ambikapathi et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    Health promotion programs are needed to delay the introduction of animal milks and grain-based porridge, and to achieve a minimum acceptable diet after 6 months of age among smallholder farmers in rural Tanzania. Results highlight that livelihoods-based health promotion interventions, built from a flexible and integrated design, may be an important strategy to address community-level variation in infant feeding practices and promote optimal IYCF …
