Article Synopsis
- Childhood undernutrition leads to serious health risks and socio-economic challenges, prompting a study on effective interventions.
- The study, called SPROUT, tested an oral nutritional supplement (ONS) combined with dietary counseling (DC) against a DC-only group among undernourished children in Vietnam.
- Results showed that the ONS+DC group experienced significantly greater improvements in weight, height, and overall health compared to the DC-only group, indicating a beneficial approach for addressing childhood undernutrition.
