Association Between Household Livestock Ownership and Stunting in Children Younger Than 5 Years in Central Rural India: Protocol for a Case-Control Study

In India, although there has been economic growth and significant decreases in child mortality rates, undernutrition and stunting are still prevalent [4]. For children, stunting, wasting, and underweight are crucial markers of their nutritional condition. Although wasting results from acute food scarcity and illness, stunting is due to recurring illnesses and long-term inadequate nutritional intake.

Population-Level Dissemination of a Smoking Cessation Smartphone App: Quasi-Experimental Comparison of Values-Based Messages in Social Media Advertisements

India, China, and Indonesia, which are low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), account for 51.4% of the world’s men who smoke. More than half of all smoking-attributed global deaths occurred in China, India, Russia, and the United States combined, with men alone accounting for 75% of these deaths [4]. Quitting smoking is the single most effective method for preventing cigarette smoking-related morbidity and mortality—especially in LMICs [5,6].
