Sri Lanka Child Growth Cohort (SLCGC): a population-based study on growth faltering of children
This data enables investigation of the effects of single exposures on child growth, as well as, more complex epidemiological analyses on multiple simultaneous and time-varying exposures. Data will be available for researchers for further analysis. The next wave of assessment is expected to be done after 12 months.
