中美洲和巴拿马营养研究所（INCAP）研究和营养合作研究支持计划（CRSP）的总体目标是确定边际营养不良是否影响人体功能。这两项研究的结论是一致的，特别是生长发育迟缓发生在生命早期，并伴有功能障碍。早期营养不良的这些后果在以后的生活中持续存在。比较全国儿童营养和营养研究所和营养CRSP的结果还表明，危地马拉儿童比肯尼亚、墨西哥或埃及儿童营养不良和发育迟缓的情况更多，而且这种更严重的发育迟缓发生在18个月之前。即使是Atole也没有使危地马拉补充儿童的平均人数达到CRSP人口中未补充儿童的平均人数。也有可能是它们的功能潜力没有通过补充而充分实现。CRSP的研究提供了与生长和功能不良有关的多种微量营养素缺乏症的证据，这些关联在危地马拉也可能存在。总的结论是，我们的注意力应该集中在确定围产期微量营养素状况的充分性，并制定预防早期生长失败的方法。
The overall objective of both the Institute of Nutrition of Central America and Panama (INCAP) studies and the Nutrition Collaborative Research Support Program (CRSP) was to determine if marginal malnutrition affects human function. The conclusions from the two studies were consistent, notably that growth stunting occurs early in life and is accompanied by functional impairments. These consequences of early malnutrition persist later in life. The comparison of INCAP and Nutrition CRSP results also illustrates that the Guatemalan children were more malnourished and stunted than those in Kenya, Mexico or Egypt and that this greater degree of stunting occurs before 18 months of age. Even the Atole did not bring the average size of supplemented children in Guatemala up to those of the unsupplemented children in the CRSP populations. It is also likely that their functional potential was not realized fully by supplementation. The CRSP studies provide evidence of multiple micronutrient deficiencies associated with poor growth and function and it is probable that these associations exist in Guatemala as well. The overall conclusion is that our attention should be directed to determining the adequacy of micronutrient status in the perinatal period and to the development of approaches that prevent early growth failure.
