WASTING
The current study adds to very limited community-based literature on PT/LBW infants born in countries with high NMR and suggests higher than background rates of wasting and underweight, high rates of parental concern for development, and a clinically impactful number of children with neurodevelopmental delay or risk for disability. The results highlight the need for policies that support close monitoring of and early intervention for high-risk infants to assure PT/LBW infants in both rural and urban areas of LMIC are able to thrive.
