Article Synopsis
- Undernutrition significantly impacts child health, leading to increased morbidity, mortality, and reduced cognitive development, but current interventions lack effectiveness.
- Metabolomics analysis of plasma samples from the PROVIDE cohort identified particular metabolites linked to growth and neurocognitive outcomes, suggesting that metabolites like hydroxy-sphingomyelin and phosphatidylcholines play key roles.
- The findings indicate that distinct metabolites affect growth and cognitive development, highlighting the need for tailored interventions targeting specific metabolic pathways to improve child health.
