Executive functions and associated brain volumetry in children with persistent stunting and catch-up growth

Executive functions and associated brain volumetry in children with persistent stunting and catch-up growth

Abstract Early childhood stunting can result in sub-optimal executive functions (EF), affecting academic achievements and economic potential in later life. This study hypothesized that children always stunted (AS) at ages 2, 5 and 9 years had lower EF than those who were never stunted (NS). A birth-...
