Impact of Protein Supplementation and Presumptive Treatment for Enteric Pathogens on Infant Growth from 6–12 Months of Age: Results of a Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial

摘要

Intake of high-quality protein may be insufficient to support growth in the context of high enteric pathogen carriage and environmental enteric dysfunction. Our objective was to test whether supplemental protein, with or without presumptive treatment for enteric pathogens, would improve infant growth from 6–12 months of age.
