PY - 2019 DA - 2019/03/18 TI - Anthropometric profiles of 8–11 year old children from a low-income setting in South Africa JO - BMC Public Health SP - 314 VL - 19 IS - 1 AB - Communities in low-to-middle income countries undergoing rapid urbanisation as well as nutrition transition are particularly at risk for associated health issues such as overweight and obesity. South Africa has a double-burden of both under- and over-nutrition, creating some uncertainty as to where to direct healthcare interventions. Therefore, providing anthropometric data in vulnerable populations, such as in early childhood, is much needed.
