Effects of periconceptional undernutrition and twinning on ovine pregnancy
Events around conception such as maternal undernutrition and twinning may have effects on offspring physiology and disease risk in adulthood. Periconceptional undernutrition alters offspring physiology and adult pathology without affecting birth size, while twinning affects birth size and …

The complex determinants of childhood nutritional status and undernutrition in South Africa
I adopt two approaches in estimating a childhood nutrition model. In the first, child nutrition enters as a continuous dependent variable, allowing me to estimate the average marginal effects on childhood nutrition (proxied by three anthropometric measures). The second approach allows me to …

Asset Holdings and Undernutrition of Young Children: Evidence from China Health and Nutrition Survey
<p>Undernutrition is an underlying determinant of 45% of all childhood deaths annually, resulting in 3.1 million deaths to children less than five years globally (Black et al., 2013). The adverse effects of undernutrition, especially chronic undernutrition, could cause impaired physical growth, …

Lipid-based nutrient supplement to address child undernutrition and enteric parasitic infections in India
Undernutrition is an outcome of insufficient food intake and repeated infectious diseases. Lipid-based nutrient supplements (LNS) are calorie and nutrient dense food products that are suitable to complement most food rations due to their long shelf life and convenience. Although available in other …

Women's status, state contexts and child undernutrition in low and middle income countries
Past research has sought to explain the child undernutrition conundrum as a result of mainly household-level factors and morbidity while ignoring salient socio-structural determinants such as women s status and state contexts. However, in the past three decades women s status has improved socially, …
