520 | _aBackgroud: Stunting results from a complex interaction of household, environmental, socioeconomic and cultural influences that are described in WHO Conceptual Framework on Childhood Stunting.There is international agreement that children are stunted if their length/height is below-2 SDs from the WHO Child Growth Standards median for the same age and sex. Aim: Study and compare the effect of micronutrients supplementation (Iron and zinc) on linear growth of infants and children less than 5 years of age suffering from stunted growth.Methods: A randomized study included 60 children less than 5 years of age divided equally into two groups.Group A took iron supplementation only and group B took iron and zinc supplementation.Follow up of length/ height was done after 6 months of micronutrients supplementation.Results: There was significant improvement in linear growth of both groups after six months supplementation with micronutrients (p<0.001). The rate of change in length/height was significantly higher in group B which took zinc in addition to iron than group A (p=0.002).Conclusion: Zinc supplementation in addition to iron led to significant acceleration of linear growth of stunted children compared to supplementation with iron alone | ||
