“Stunting measured at age 5 years is associated with lower working memory and inhibitory control between 8 and 12 years in Peru and Ethiopia”.
On August 28, our Senior Researcher Alan Sanchez was a speaker at the 21st Child Nutrition Award, organized by Fundación Éxito in Colombia.
Using longitudinal data from Niños del Milenio/Young Lives, the research presented sheds light on the mechanisms through which early stunting affects so-called fundamental cognitive skills and educational outcomes.
