Metabolomics in plasma of Malawian children 7 years after surviving severe acute malnutrition: “ChroSAM” a cohort study

More children are now surviving severe acute malnutrition (SAM), but evidence suggests that early-life malnutrition is associated with increased risk of long-term cardio-metabolic disorders. To better understand potential mechanisms, we studied the metabolite profiles of children seven years after treatment for SAM.We followed-up children (n = 352) treated for SAM in 2006-2007, at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital, in Malawi.
