Immune Dysfunction as a Cause and Consequence of Malnutrition (2016, background): “Weight-for-age and length-for-age Z scores continue to decline over the first 2 years of life, with little recovery thereafter [70].”
The stunting syndrome in developing countries (2014, methodology): “33 Upon publication of new WHO growth standards in 2006, 34 it became apparent that linear growth faltering in developing countries occurs sooner after birth that had been appreciated using prior National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) data, 35 which were based on the growth of predominantly…”
Long-term consequences of stunting in early life. (2011, background): “Average height-for-age z-scores are already low at birth (below 0, the standard score or population average) in several regions and decline sharply during the first 24 months of life but show no further decline or any improvement thereafter (Victora et al. 2010), as illustrated in Fig.”
