Nutritional impact of highly pathogenic avian influenza in Kenya por Iannotti, Lora L., Roy, Devesh

“…Consistently significant determinants of anthropometric outcomes in these children were child's age, child's sex, household level of education, and various income and wealth determinants. PSM demonstrated that a reduction of consumption of poultry meat and eggs due to HPAI infection would increase the prevalence of stunting by 3.9 percentage points (Average Treatment Effect on the Treated (ATT), p = .06), increase the prevalence of underweight by 5 percentage points, and reduce WAZ by 0.16 (ATT, p = .03).Through the household dietary diversity and consumption pathways, HPAI could have nutrition-related consequences with public health significance. …”
