Background Indicators of child height, such as mean height-for-age Z-scores (HAZ), height-
for-age difference (HAD) and stunting prevalence, do not account for differences in …

Growth faltering is usually assessed using height-for-age Z-scores (HAZs), which have been
used for comparisons of children of different age and sex composition across populations …

Background We estimated the associations between exposure to early life growth faltering at
the population level and adult height and education outcomes in a sample of 21 low-and …

Background Evidence from studies conducted in nutritionally deprived children in low-and
middle-income countries (LIMC) in past decades showed little or no population-level catch …

Abstract Background/Aims: Childhood stunting is a prevalent problem in low-and middle-
income countries and is associated with long-term adverse neurodevelopment and health …

Growth failure is cumulative, and short stature is associated with multiple indices of reduced
human capital. Few studies have been able to address in a single analysis both …

Objectives Childhood height-for-age z-scores (HAZ) have been improving in many countries
over the last few decades. Most HAZ faltering in malnourished populations takes place …

Background: Growth failure remains a persistent challenge in many countries, and
understanding child growth patterns is critical to the development of appropriate …

Introduction Although boys tend to be more affected by linear growth faltering than girls, little
is known about sex differences across distinct age groups. We aimed to compare sex …

Background To identify sensitive periods for the effect of early life growth on childhood bone
mass we compared the associations between weight and length/height velocities from birth …
