BURDEN AND CORRELATES OF COMPLICATED SEVERE ACUTE MALNUTRITION RELAPSE AMONG CHILDREN UNDER FIVE AT MWANAMUGIMU: Secondary analysis of hospital data in Uganda Open
Background Confronted with the triple burden of malnutrition including in low- and middle-income country settings (LMICs), effort has been made to tackle child wasting especially to improve treatment outcomes of complicated severe acute ma…

Infections, Animal-Source Foods, and Micronutrient Status as Correlates of Serum IGF-1 in Children with Stunting: A Cross-sectional Study in Uganda Open
Milk intake and vitamin A status were positively associated with serum IGF-1. In contrast to milk, vitamin A has not consistently been associated with growth. This requires further investigation.

Effects of lipid‐based nutrient supplements on gut markers in stunted children: Secondary analysis of a randomised trial Open
Objectives To examine the effects of lipid‐based nutrient supplements (LNS) containing milk protein (MP) and/or whey permeate (WP) on markers of intestinal inflammation and enterocyte mass among stunted children. Furthermore, to explore wh…

Predictors of change in early child development among children with stunting: Secondary analysis of a randomized trial in Uganda Open
Millions of children under 5 years in low- and middle-income countries fail to attain their development potential with accruing short- and long-term consequences. Low length/height for age (stunting) is known to be a key factor, but there …

Correlates of early child development among children with stunting: A cross‐sectional study in Uganda Open
Many children in low‐ and middle‐income countries are not attaining their developmental potential. Stunting is associated with poor child development, but it is not known which correlates of stunting are impairing child development. We exp…

Effect of lipid-based nutrient supplements on micronutrient status and hemoglobin among children with stunting: secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial in Uganda Open
LNS supplementation increases Hb and improves iron, cobalamin, and folate status, but not vitamin A status among children with stunting. LNS should be considered for children with stunting. This trial was registered at ISRCTN as 13093195.

Correlates of Plasma Citrulline, a Potential Marker of Enterocyte Mass, among Children with Stunting: A Cross-Sectional Study in Uganda Open
Many of the correlates of p-cit are characteristic of populations with a high EED prevalence. Systemic inflammation is strongly associated with p-cit and is implicated in EED and stunting. Adjustment for systemic inflammation attenuates ma…

Micronutrient Status and Other Correlates of Hemoglobin among Children with Stunting: A Cross-Sectional Study in Uganda Open
In low-income countries, undernutrition and infections play a major role in childhood anemia. Stunted children may be at particular risk of anemia. In a cross-sectional study nested in a nutrition trial among 12–59-month-old stunted childr…

Correlates of Iron, Cobalamin, Folate, and Vitamin A Status among Stunted Children: A Cross-Sectional Study in Uganda Open
Micronutrient deficiencies and stunting are prevalent. We assessed correlates of iron, cobalamin, folate, and vitamin A biomarkers in a cross-sectional study of stunted children aged 12–59 months in eastern Uganda. The biomarkers measured …

Effect of Milk Protein and Whey Permeate in Large-Quantity Lipid-Based Nutrient Supplement on Early Child Development among Children with Stunting: A Randomized 2 × 2 Factorial Trial in Uganda Open
Stunting affects 22% children globally, putting them at risk of adverse outcomes including delayed development. We investigated the effect of milk protein (MP) vs. soy and whey permeate (WP) vs. maltodextrin in large-quantity, lipid-based …

Effect of milk protein and whey permeate in large quantity lipid-based nutrient supplement on linear growth and body composition among stunted children: A randomized 2 × 2 factorial trial in Uganda Open
Background Despite possible benefits for growth, milk is costly to include in foods for undernourished children. Furthermore, the relative effects of different milk components, milk protein (MP), and whey permeate (WP) are unclear. We aime…

The Role of Milk Protein and Whey Permeate in Lipid-based Nutrient Supplements on the Growth and Development of Stunted Children in Uganda: A Randomized Trial Protocol (MAGNUS) Open
Stunting is associated with cognitive impairment and later chronic disease. Previous trials to prevent stunting have had little effect, and no trials seem to have provided larger amounts of energy and high-quality proteins to already stunt…
