How Can Nutrition Research Better Reflect the Relationship Between Wasting and Stunting in Children? Learnings from the ...
...Published in The Journal of nutrition
Childhood wasting and stunting affect large numbers of children globally. Both are important risk factors for illness and death yet, despite the fact that these conditions can share common risk factors and are often seen in the same child, they are commonly portrayed as relatively distinct manifestations of undernutrition. In 2014, the Wasting and ...
Optimum birth interval (36–48 months) may reduce the risk of undernutrition in children: A meta-analysis
Published in Frontiers in Nutrition
Background Although some studies have highlighted short birth interval as a risk factor for adverse child nutrition outcomes, the question of whether and to what extent long birth interval affects better nutritional outcomes in children remains unclear. Methods In this quantitative meta-analysis, we evaluate the relationship between different birth...

Common factors influencing childhood undernutrition and their comparison between Sylhet, the most vulnerable region, and...
Published in Frontiers in Nutrition
Introduction Undernourishment is disproportionately spread within Bangladesh, making some regions like Sylhet more vulnerable than the rest of the country. We aimed to assess the trend of diverse associated factors related to childhood stunting, wasting, and being underweight. Furthermore, we have compared the estimated factors between Sylhet, the ...
Urban–rural differences in the relationship between stunting, preschool attendance, home learning support, and school re...
Published in Frontiers in Public Health
Background Stunted physical growth during early childhood is a marker of chronic undernutrition, and the adverse life circumstances that underlie it. These have the potential to disrupt normal brain development and the acquisition of foundational cognitive, language, social and motor skills. Stunting is prevalent in most low-and middle-income count...
Thrust Vectoring Control of a Novel Tilt-Rotor UAV Based on Backstepping Sliding Model Method.
Published in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In this paper, a control method of a novel tilt-rotor UAV with a blended wing body layout is studied. The novel UAV is capable of vertical take-off and landing and has strong stealth capabilities that can be applied to carrier-borne reconnaissance aircraft. However, the high aspect ratio of blended wing body UAVs leads to a wingtip or oar-tip touch...
A self-reported cross-sectional study on the oral function and the quality of life in children with stunted growth
Published in Frontiers in Pediatrics
Background Failure to catch up with growth in toddlerhood will stunt elementary school children, which continues to cognitive decline and oral motor coordination. Verbal motor skills play an essential role in the oral function of the stomatognathic system, which includes mastication, swallowing, and speech. Therefore, early attention to oral functi...
