    Open AccessCutberto Garza, Elaine Borghi et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2013

    Linear growth from birth to 2 years of children enrolled in the World Health Organization Multicentre Growth Reference Study was similar despite substantial parental height differences among the six study sites. Within-site variability in child length attributable to parental height was estimated by repeated measures analysis of variance using generalized linear models. This approach was also used to examine relationships among selected traits (e…

  • Post‐partum weight change patterns in the WHO Multicentre Growth Reference Study

    Open AccessAdelheid W Onyango, Laurie A Nommsen-Rivers et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2011

    The interplay of factors that affect post-partum loss or retention of weight gained during pregnancy is not fully understood.

  • Effect of infection on energy requirements of infants and children

    Open AccessCutberto GarzaARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2005

    This is a brief review of the effects of infection and other forms of stress on the energy needs of infants and young children. The results of studies estimating energy expenditure in infants and young children during illness and convalescence were evaluated. Expectations that energy expenditure is influenced by the severity of illness, nutritional status, the nature of the illness, the presence and intensity of ‘catch-up growth,’ and the stage o…

    Open AccessMercedes De Onís, Cutberto Garza et al.ARTICLEFood and Nutrition Bulletin2004

    The World Health Organization (WHO) Multicentre Growth Reference Study (MGRS) is a community-based, multicountry project to develop new growth references for infants and young children. The design combines a longitudinal study from birth to 24 months with a cross-sectional study of children aged 18 to 71 months. The pooled sample from the six participating countries (Brazil, Ghana, India, Norway, Oman, and the United States) consists of about 8,5…
