Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Objectives: We aimed to 1) examine whether there are sustained effects on growth or development at preschool age among children who were exposed to both maternal and child small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements (SQ-LNS) in early life, and 2) examine whether the effects of SQ-LNS in early life differ between male and female children.
