• The stunting syndrome in developing countries (2014, background): “The period from 6 to 24 months of age is one of the most critical periods for linear growth; 90 it is also the time of peak stunting prevalence in developing countries, due to high demand for nutrients coupled with limited quality and quantity of complementary foods.”
• A meta-analysis of community-based studies on quality protein maize (2010, background): “…studies should target children aged 6–24 months, as this is a critical period of growth in which growth faltering due to an inadequate diet is most likely to occur (Shrimpton et al., 2001), and the diets of children in the study area should indicate a reliance on maize as a major source of protein.”
