Dietary staple type, protein quality and child wasting and stunting across 127 LMICs — an ecological cross-sectional study

2026-07-15

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Child stunting and wasting affect millions globally, with unexplained heterogeneity across LMICs. Staple foods — rice, wheat, maize, sorghum, millet and cassava — differ in protein quality (DIAAS) and zinc bioavailability. We hypothesised that these differences explain heterogeneity in undernutrition prevalence. <h4>Methods</h4> This ecological cross-sectional analysis included 127 LMICs (was...
