Evaluation of the Impact of Enteral Nutrition Support on Anthropometric Measurements and Micronutrient Levels in Malnourished Children
This study demonstrates that outpatient ENS therapy for 6 months significantly improved anthropometric measurements in malnourished children and was well tolerated. The 1 to 2 age group exhibited the most substantial response to treatment, whereas the 1 to 5 age group required at least 6 months of nutritional therapy to prevent stunting. However, the effect of ENS therapy on height and BMI z-scores in the 13 to 18 age group appeared insufficient after 3 months.
