Feeding one egg per day to children aged 6 to 9 months for 6 months could almost halve the prevalence of stunted growth, a new study finds.
Stunted growth is defined as impaired growth and development caused by poor nutrition in early life, particularly in the first 1,000 days.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), "Children are defined as stunted if their height-for-age is more than two standard deviations below the WHO Child Growth Standards median."
While the number of children affected by stunting declined between 2000 and 2016, the condition still affects nearly 1 in 4 children worldwide who are under the age of 5 years.
