仅关注更好的补充喂养的营养支持计划仍然不足以限制弱势儿童群体的生长缓慢。为了确定急性感染症状是否与马拉维农村儿童生长迟缓的发生率相关，研究人员对发烧、腹泻和咳嗽与发育迟缓、消瘦和体重不足的人体测量指标之间的关系进行了调查。数据分析来自一项试验，该试验为 209 名 6 至 18 个月大的儿童提供了充足的辅食，并每两周进行一次随访。使用线性混合模型分析来测试关联性。腹泻疾病与年龄别身高 Z 评分 (HAZ)、中上臂围 Z 评分 (MUACZ) 和年龄别体重 Z 评分 (WAZ) 的变化呈负相关。发烧也与 MUACZ 和 WAZ 的变化呈负相关。这些结果表明，马拉维农村地区需要采取减少发热和腹泻疾病的举措，同时改进补充喂养，以限制生长缓慢。
Nutrition support programs that only focus upon better complementary feeding remain an insufficient means of limiting growth faltering in vulnerable populations of children. To determine if symptoms of acute infections correlate with the incidence of growth faltering in rural Malawian children, the associations between fever, diarrhea, and cough with anthropometric measures of stunting, wasting, and underweight were investigated. Data were analyzed from a trial where 209 children were provided with adequate complementary food and followed fortnightly from 6-18 months of age. Linear mixed model analysis was used to test for associations. Diarrheal disease was inversely associated with changes in height-for-age Z-score (HAZ), mid-upper arm circumference Z-score (MUACZ), and weight-for-age Z-score (WAZ). Fever was also inversely associated with changes in MUACZ and WAZ. These results suggest that initiatives to reduce febrile and diarrheal diseases are needed in conjunction with improved complementary feeding to limit growth faltering in rural Malawi.
