  • Early childhood diarrhea and cardiometabolic risk factors in adulthood: The Institute of Nutrition of Central America and Panama Nutritional Supplementation Longitudinal Study

    2013, Annals of Epidemiology
    Citation Excerpt :

    The potential for early childhood events to impact adult disease is significant because a large proportion of children in developing countries continue to suffer nutritional and inflammatory insults owing to enteric diseases associated with poor environmental sanitation and hygiene [15]. Enteric diseases may result in overt diarrhea and contribute in the short term to a low BMIZ and in the longer term to growth retardation and stunting, measured as a height-for-age z-score (HAZ) that is less than −2 [16–19]. Prior studies from developing countries have documented associations between low BMIZ at 24 months (BMIZ24) and risk for adult disease [10,11].
