Early child growth: how do nutrition and infection interact?
Summary of main point:
1. Infections are very common in the
first 2 years of a child’s life.
2. Even when there are no obvious
symptoms, physiological conditions
associated with infections can impair
growth by:
• Suppressing appetite
• Impairing absorption of nutrients
and increasing nutrient losses
• Diverting nutrients away from
growth
3. There is little direct evidence that
nutrition interventions are less effective
when infection is common. Further
research is needed.
4. Four intervention trials showed that
the negative effects of diarrhea on
growth can be reduced or eliminated
by improved nutrition.
5. Interventions that combine improved
nutrition with prevention and control
of infections are likely to be most
effective for enhancing child growth
and development.
