• The Safe Food Imperative: Accelerating Progress in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (2018, background): “7 Infectious FBD often manifests as diarrhea, which is strongly associated with child stunting and vice versa (Checkley et al. 2008; Guerrant et al. 2013; Richard et al. 2014).”
• Contextualising complementary feeding in a broader framework for stunting prevention. (2013, background): “Checkley et al. have estimated that 25% of the burden of stunting could be attributed to five or more episodes of diarrhoea occurring prior to the age of 2 years (Checkley et al. 2008).”
• Burden of disease from inadequate water, sanitation and hygiene for selected adverse health outcomes: An updated analysis with a focus on low- and middle-income countries (2019, methodology): “Exposure-response relationship: A pooled analysis of nine prospective datasets from five countries estimated that 25% of stunting could be attributed to repeated diarrhoea episodes in children (Checkley et al., 2008).”
• The stunting syndrome in developing countries (2014, background): “154 In a more recent study of seven longitudinal infant cohorts, cumulative diarrhoeal burden had a smaller but measurable effect on linear growth; a child with the typical diarrhoea burden (equivalent to 23 days per year) was 0.38 cm shorter at 2 years of age than a child without diarrhoea.”
