• Update on Technical issues concerning Complementary Feeding of Young Children in Developing Countries and Implications for Intervention Programs (2003, result): “This is consistent with the findings of a metaanalysis of zinc supplementation studies showing that zinc supplements have a greater effect on linear growth in stunted than in nonstunted children [59].”
• ASSESSMENT OF THE RISK OF DEFICIENCY IN POPULATIONS AND OPTIONS FOR ITS CONTROL (2004, background): “During the first half of the 20th century, researchers discovered that zinc is essential for the normal growth and survival of higher plants, poultry, rodents, and swine [1].”
• The Physiological, Biochemical, and Molecular Roles of Zinc Transporters in Zinc Homeostasis and Metabolism. (2015, background): “Moreover, the efficacy of zinc supplements in boosting health and well-being is revealed in various cases: in growth and body weight gain of children in the meta-analysis (43) and in decreasing incidences of blindness and the risk of developing agerelated macular degeneration (2).”
• Guidelines on food fortification with micronutrients (2006, background): “Intervention trials have also revealed that zinc supplementation improves the growth of stunted, zinc-deficient children (17), lowers rates of diarrhoea and pneumonia (the two leading causes of child death), and shortens the duration of diarrhoeal episodes (18,19).”
