UNDERNOURISHED
I have read the journal’s policy and the authors of this manuscript have the following competing interests: HF and CM have received research grants from Arla Food for Health, HF, BG and CM have received research grants from the Danish Dairy Research Foundation, CM and KFM also received funds from Arla Foods Amba and finally HF, CM, KFM, BG, SF and AB have had research collaboration with Nutriset, a producer of LNS. Other authors declare no financial relationships with any organisations that might have an interest in the submitted work in the previous five years, and declare no other relationships or activities that could appear to have influenced the submitted workDespite possible benefits for growth, milk is costly to include in foods for undernourished children. Furthermore, the relative effects of different milk components, milk protein (MP), and whey permeate (WP) are unclear. We aimed to assess the effects of MP and WP in lipid-based nutrient supplement (LNS), and of LNS itself, on linear growth and body composition among stunted children.
