Dietary diversity, micronutrient supplements and physical growth during childhood

Abstract

Abstract: Dietary diversity can be a valuable indicator to predict nutrition adequacy of children, considering both macro- and micronutrients. Growing evidence suggests an association between dietary diversity and growth outcomes, especially linear growth. Hence, it is crucial for clinicians and parents to understand the importance of dietary diversity and its influence on children's nutrition through educational interventions, which could be effective in avoiding misuse of micronutrient supplements and reducing the development of stunting.

Key words: dietary diversity, micronutrient supplements, physical growth, childhood

摘要： 膳食多样性可以作为预测儿童宏量营养素或微量营养素充足性的指标,且可影响儿童体格生长,尤其是线性生长。通过营养教育提升医生和家长对膳食多样性的重要性意识,可有效避免微量营养素补充剂的滥用和降低生长迟缓的发生。
