Evidence shows that women’s empowerment improves these underlying factors associated with improved stunting. We examined how domains

ABSTRACT Commercial foods for infants and young children are widely available and often introduced early, including before 6 months, raising concerns about their often high levels of sugar and sodium, limited micronutrient content, and sweet flavours that may shape future taste preferences.
