dc.description.abstract | Adverse birth outcomes and infant undernutrition remain the leading causes of morbidity and
mortality in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Impaired infant growth and development, which often
begins during foetal development, may persist during the first 2 years of life and has been
associated with higher risks of cardiometabolic diseases. This systematic review assessed the
associations between maternal demographic characteristics and household socio-economic
status (SES), and preterm birth (PTB), small for gestational age, low birth weight (LBW), stunting, wasting and underweight in children under 2 years of age in SSA countries. Following the
Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, we searched
for publications in three electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus and ScienceDirect). Eleven
studies on children under 2 years of age, in four SSA regions, published in English between
1990 and 2018, were included. | en_US |
