Summary: Early is best but it's not always too late: Young Lives evidence on nutrition and growth in Ethiopia, India, Peru and Vietnam
- Abstract:
- Between 2002 and 2016, Young Lives followed the growth and development of 12,000 children in poor communities in four developing countries. This longitudinal research offers crucial insights on children’s growth trajectories, identifying which children are at risk and why. One significant finding is that, contrary to previous understandings, children can recover from early growth deficits, even into adolescence. Other children falter in their growth after infancy. This highlights the importance of sustained investment in children’s development through the first two decades of life.
