The aim of this study was to enumerate the serum aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in children 6-59 months of age, and estimate its association with linear growth in these children. To accomplish this aim, the team conducted a cross-sectional study that focused on understanding the extent and level of aflatoxin exposure as measured through presence in a serum sample from children. We also studied the association between serum aflatoxin and chronic malnutrition (stunting), accounting for other risk factors. The specific objectives of this study include: 1.

O objectivo principal deste estudo foi avaliar os níveis de aflatoxina B1 (AFB1) sérica em crianças de 6 a 59 meses de idade e estimar a sua associação com o crescimento linear nessas crianças. Para atingir esse objectivo, a equipa conduziu um estudo transversal que se focou em compreender a extensão e o nível de exposição à aflatoxina, determinando a sua presença em amostras de soro de crianças. Também se estudou a associação entre aflatoxina sérica e desnutrição crónica, considerando outros fatores de risco. Os objectivos específicos deste estudo incluem: 1.

The goal of PoSHAN Community Studies is to understand the factors that link agriculture to nutrition. This involves researching the determinants of household food security, dietary intake, and nutritional status of children under 5 years of age and their mothers in relation to changes in agriculture and exposure to agricultural and microeconomic extension, as well as nutrition and health programs in Nepal. This descriptive report summarizes the main findings of the third panel survey.
