title: Nutrition and growth. A review.
abstract: Growth monitoring is a sensitive tool and an indicator of the nutritional status of a population. The stressors may interfere by delaying maturation (timing effect) or by lowering the growth potential (intensity effect). In the same way, the secular trend is a translation of the past evolution of the environmental factors in a population.
