Summary: Effect on linear growth � Studies on effects of preventive LNS remain few (n = 9) and have been done in only three countries. � 5 showed positive effect on linear growth � 2 showed no effect on linear growth � 2 did not report on linear growth �� Effect sizes are generally modest (Mean: 0.33; Range: -0.17, 0.82). � Effect sizes (Mean: 0.52; Range: 0.14, 0.82) are larger for children whose pre-intervention average LAZ was low (< -2) than those <strong>with</strong> high LAZ.

Summary : Effect on severe wasting � Only 3 studies (1 involving stunted chn., 2 involving non-stunted chn.) reported on severe wasting. �� In 2 of the 3 studies, preventive LNS reduced the incidence of severe wasting by 58%-85% compared to no supplementation or baseline.
