Article Synopsis
- Aflatoxins, particularly aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), are harmful compounds linked to severe health issues, including growth problems in infants and children.
- The analysis involved reviewing data from multiple databases, revealing that exposure to AFB1 negatively impacts growth measurements such as weight-for-age (WAZ), height-for-age (HAZ), and weight-for-height (WHZ) z-scores.
- The findings suggest a significant association between AFB1 exposure and increased risks of underweight and stunting in young children, indicating the need for awareness and interventions regarding AFB1 exposure.
