Stunting Is Characterized by Chronic Inflammation in Zimbabwean Infants
BACKGROUND: Stunting affects one-third of children in developing countries, but the causes remain unclear. We hypothesized that enteropathy leads to low-grade inflammation, which suppresses the growth hormone-IGF axis and mediates stunting. METHODS: We conducted a case-control study of 202 HIV-unexp...
