Background • High U5 undernutrition in developing countries: � 32% stunting ( >177 million) �20% underweight (> 112 million) �3.5% severely wasted (19 million) • <strong>Lipid</strong>-<strong>based</strong> nutrient supplements (LNS) first used to treat severe malnutrition in late 1990s. • Recent use of LNS includes prevention of malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies. • Review of effects of preventive LNS on linear growth, severe wasting and anemia is important for guiding future actions. S Adu-Afarwuah, PhD October 2010 2
Scope of review • LNS was provided, effect directly compared • Not for treatment of acute malnutrition – Individual/mean pre-intervention WLZ/WHZ > 80% of the NCHS median or > -2 SD. • At least some participants < 5 y • Target outcomes were: linear growth, severe wasting, and anemia • Studies categorized into: (a)Targeted stunted (LAZ < -2) chn. (b) Targeted non-stunted (LAZ > - 2) chn. S Adu-Afarwuah, PhD October 2010 3
