Children who became stunted between birth and the age of 6 months started at low birth LAZ (mean = −2.7) and had moderate rates of decline, whereas children who became stunted between ages 6 and 15 months started at higher birth LAZ (mean = −1.4) but had much faster ...
its practice in the health care system and research on its modality of implementation in low- and middle- income countries (LMICs) is limited [5,6,7,8]. In these countries self-management interventions could have a great impact, because it is less expensive, but...
Diarrhoea poses serious health problems among under-five children (U5C) in Low-and Medium-Income Countries (LMIC) with a higher prevalence in rural areas. A gap exists in knowledge on factors driving rural-non-rural inequalities in diarrhoea development among U5C in LMIC. This study investigates...
Childhood malnutrition is associated with high morbidity and mortality globally1. Undernourished children are more likely to experience cognitive, physical, and metabolic developmental impairments that can lead to later cardiovascular disease, reduced in
of moderate quality (i.e. weak in one domain) (n = 8), and strong quality (n = 1), and the remaining 4 were judged as weak using the EPHPP tool. The main sources of bias in NRS studies were study design, presence of confounders, and withdrawals or dropouts (Appendix 2)...
A score was assigned for each item (0 for a “not reported” or “not appropriate” response and 1 for a “yes” response); the scores of the items were summed to obtain a total quality score of between 0 and 9. Studies were then classified as being of low, moderate, and high ...

Applicability of the pathogen list was assessed by calculating the percentage of agreement between subpopulations and Cohen's Kappa score (0.01–0.20 as none to slight, 0.21–0.40 as fair, 0.41–0.60 as moderate, 0.61–0.80 as substantial, and 0.81–1.00 as almost perfect agreement). Results ...
The purpose of this study is to determine if financial inclusion in low-, lower-middle-, and upper-middle-income nations promotes human development. Our aim was accomplished by employing an empirical technique of using the System Generalized Method of Mo
states, including the generosity of anti-poverty policies and cost of living, moderate the associations of low income with brain structure and mental health in early adolescence. Family income is consistently associated with children’s brain structure4,5,6,7,8. In particular, smaller hippocampal ...
