  • Assessment of the WHO Stunting Framework using Ethiopia as a case study

    Open AccessJames P Wirth, Fabian Rohner et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2016

    Poor linear growth in children <5 years old, or stunting, is a serious public health problem particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. In 2013, the World Health Organization (WHO) released a conceptual framework on the Context, Causes and Consequences of Childhood Stunting (the 'WHO framework') that identifies specific and general factors associated with stunting. The framework is based upon a global review of data, and we have applied it to a country-…

  • Complementary feeding and attained linear growth among 6–23-month-old children

    Open AccessAdelheid W Onyango, Elaine Borghi et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2014

    Objective To examine the association between complementary feeding indicators and attained linear growth at 6–23 months. Design Secondary analysis of Phase V Demographic and Health Surveys data (2003–2008). Country-specific ANOVA models were used to estimate effects of three complementary feeding indicators (minimum meal frequency, minimum dietary diversity and minimum adequate diet) on length-for-age, adjusted for covariates and interactions of …

  • The W orld H ealth O rganization's global target for reducing childhood stunting by 2025

    Open AccessMercedes De Onís, Kathryn G Dewey et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2013

    In 2012, the World Health Organization adopted a resolution on maternal, infant and young child nutrition that included a global target to reduce by 40% the number of stunted under-five children by 2025. The target was based on analyses of time series data from 148 countries and national success stories in tackling undernutrition. The global target translates to a 3.9% reduction per year and implies decreasing the number of stunted children from …

  • Parental height and child growth from birth to 2 years in the WHO M ulticentre G rowth R eference S tudy

    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…

  • Contextualising complementary feeding in a broader framework for stunting prevention

    Open AccessChristine P Stewart, Lora L Iannotti et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2013Citada por: 42Referências: 6

    An estimated 165 million children are stunted due to the combined effects of poor nutrition, repeated infection and inadequate psychosocial stimulation. The complementary feeding period, generally corresponding to age 6-24 months, represents an important period of sensitivity to stunting with lifelong, possibly irrevocable consequences. Interventions to improve complementary feeding practices or the nutritional quality of complementary foods must…

  • Worldwide implementation of the WHO Child Growth Standards

    Open AccessMercedes De Onís, Adelheid W Onyango et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2012

    Objective To describe the worldwide implementation of the WHO Child Growth Standards (‘WHO standards’). Design A questionnaire on the adoption of the WHO standards was sent to health authorities. The questions concerned anthropometric indicators adopted, newly introduced indicators, age range, use of sex-specific charts, previously used references, classification system, activities undertaken to roll out the standards and reasons for non-adoption…

  • 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. The objective of this paper is to describe patterns of weight change in the six sites of the World Health Organization (WHO) Multicentre Growth Reference Study (MGRS) and explore variables that explain variation in weight change within and between sites. Mothers of 1743 breastfed children enrolled in the MGRS had weights m…

  • Comparison of the World Health Organization (WHO) Child Growth Standards and the National Center for Health Statistics/WHO international growth reference

    Open AccessMercedes De Onís, Adelheid W Onyango et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2006

    Objectives To compare growth patterns and estimates of malnutrition based on the World Health Organization (WHO) Child Growth Standards (‘the WHO standards’) and the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS)/WHO international growth reference (‘the NCHS reference’), and discuss implications for child health programmes. Design Secondary analysis of longitudinal data to compare growth patterns (birth to 12 months) and data from two cross-section…

  • Measurement and Standardization Protocols for Anthropometry Used in the Construction of a New International Growth Reference

    Open AccessMercedes De Onís, Adelheid W Onyango et al.ARTICLEFood and Nutrition Bulletin2004

    Thorough training, continuous standardization, and close monitoring of the adherence to measurement procedures during data collection are essential for minimizing random error and bias in multicenter studies. Rigorous anthropometry and data collection protocols were used in the WHO Multicentre Growth Reference Study to ensure high data quality. After the initial training and standardization, study teams participated in standardization sessions ev…

  • The who Multicentre Growth Reference Study

    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…
