Associations between sociodemographic exposures, growth and development during infancy with development at the age of eight years among children
Background: Links between early life exposures and child development later in life are not sufficiently explored in low- and middle-income countries. We studied associations between sociodemographic variables, growth and development at six to eight months with developmental outcomes at eight years. Methods: We used data from a maternal education trial which included 511 mother-infant pairs at children's age of six to eight months (baseline). In t…
The association of urine markers of iodine intake with development and growth among children in rural Uganda
Objective: We examined associations of urine iodide excretion, proxy for iodine intake, with child development and growth. Design: This is a secondary analysis of a 1:1 cluster-randomised trial with a 6-month nutrition/stimulation/hygiene education intervention among mothers of children aged 6–8 months to improve child development and growth. Development was assessed using Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development–III (BSID-III) and Ages an…
The association between dietary diversity and development among children under 24 months in rural Uganda
Objective: To assess the association between dietary diversity and development among children under 24 months in rural Uganda and to establish other factors that could be associated with development among these children. Design: A secondary data analysis of a cluster-randomised controlled maternal education trial ( n 511) was conducted on a sub-sample of 385 children. We used adjusted ORs (AORs) to assess the associations of dietary diversity sco…
Child development, growth and microbiota
BACKGROUND: Undernutrition impairs child development outcomes and growth. In this follow-up study of an open cluster-randomized intervention trial we examined the effects of an education package delivered to mothers in rural Uganda on their children's development, growth and gut microbiota at 36 months of age. METHODS: The parental trial included 511 mother-child pairs recruited when the children were 6-8 months. In that trial, a nutrition, stimu…
Nutrition, hygiene, and stimulation education to improve growth, cognitive, language, and motor development among infants in Uganda
Stunting is associated with impaired cognitive and motor function. The effect of an education intervention including nutrition, stimulation, sanitation, and hygiene on child growth and cognitive/language/motor development, delivered to impoverished mothers in Uganda, was assessed. In a community-based, open cluster-randomized trial, 511 mother/children dyads aged 6-8 months were enrolled to an intervention (n = 263) or control (n = 248) group. Th…
