Maternal Undernutrition in Adolescence and Child Human Capital Development Over the Life Course
Adolescence has been highlighted as a period when environments are critical for the human capital development of women, and thus of their children, but evidence on this from low‐ and middle‐income countries is scarce. We estimate the effect of mother’s adolescent undernutrition on offspring growth and development from infancy through adolescence using data from an international cohort study in Ethiopia, India, Peru and Vietnam, and instrumental v…
Disparities in children’s vocabulary and height in relation to household wealth and parental schooling
Children from low socio-economic status (SES) households often demonstrate worse growth and developmental outcomes than wealthier children, in part because poor children face a broader range of risk factors. It is difficult to characterize the trajectories of SES disparities in low- and middle-income countries because longitudinal data are infrequently available. We analyze measures of children's linear growth (height) at ages 1, 5, 8 and 12y and…
Growth recovery and faltering through early adolescence in low- and middle-income countries
Growth trajectories from conception through middle childhood and cognitive achievement at age 8 years
Child chronic malnutrition is endemic in low- and middle-income countries and deleterious for child development. Studies investigating the relationship between nutrition at different periods of childhood, as measured by growth in these periods (growth trajectories), and cognitive development have produced mixed evidence. Although an explanation of this has been that different studies use different approaches to model growth trajectories, the diff…
