Dear Sameul, here is an interesting article who could help understand the relationship between vitamin A deficiency and stunting :

Cordially,

Hi,

I presented a literature review on the association of high impact nutrition interventions with stunting yesterday so can answer easily. We reviewed evidence from 2013 onwards.

The studies we found showed Vitamin A supplementation has a Weak association with stunting (We categorised evidence as strong/medium/weak or no effect) and that there is an absence of evidence relating to stunting.

Strong evidence of a reduction on infant mortality.

New research has observed increases in head circumference and weight are negated if vitamin A is supplemented at the same time as vaccination with DPT/BCG for example during CHW.

I hope this helps,

Sameul thank you for the question and P. Abel Nanema and Kate Godden for sharing artiicle

Hi Kate,

Can you please send me your email? I am interested in learning more about the literature review on the association of high impact nutrition interventions with stunting. Thanks!

Hi Noreen,

Kate's literature review is still being finalised so she has simply shared the main findings. Once the paper is available she aims to share it more widely.

Best wishes,
Tamsin

Could you please share the presentation in the meantime?

Thanks to P. Abel NANEMA and Kate Godden. The referring articles is useful.
