The effect of nutritional supplementation with or without psychosocial stimulation on the stunted children's behaviour was also examined. The children were observed at home during 4 days over a period of 6 months. The stunted children showed significantly more apathy, and less enthusiasm and variety in exploring, were less happy and more fussy. Caretakers’ vocalisations to them were less warm or instructive. Stunted children's activity level, exploratory and happy behaviours were predictive of change in developmental levels measured on the Griffiths Scales, from enrolment to 12 and 24 months later. Supplementation predicted mental age at 12 and 24 months after enrolment, however, it had no significant effect on behaviour.

Ces enfants ont été comparés avec 21 enfants correctement nourris appariés et présents dans l'hôpital pour d'autres affections et tous ont été évalués sur le plan du développement par le test de Griffiths. A l'admission hospitalière, les enfants malnutris étaient moins actifs et plus apathiques que les contrôles quand ils étaient seuls dans leur berceau tandis que les contrôles étaient davantage perturbés. A la présentation de jouets, les enfants malnutris avaient une exploration plus limitée, utilisant moins d'actions de jeux et touchant moins de jouets. Ces différences ne persistaient pas après la correction de troubles. Le comportement initial ne permettait pas de prédire les niveaux de développement.

Cognitive, psychosocial, and behaviour gains at age 31 years from the Jamaica early childhood stimulation trial / Susan P. WALKER in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 63-6 (June 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 63-6 (June 2022) . - p.626-635 Titre : Cognitive, psychosocial, and behaviour gains at age 31 years from the Jamaica early childhood stimulation trial Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Susan P. WALKER, Auteur ; Susan M. CHANG, Auteur ; Amika S. WRIGHT, Auteur ; Rodrigo PINTO, Auteur ; James J. HECKMAN, Auteur ; Sally M. GRANTHAM-MCGREGOR, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.626-635 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Early childhood  cognition  psychosocial skills  stimulation  stunting Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: There is little evidence on adult benefits from early childhood interventions in low and middle-income countries. We assessed adult cognition, psychosocial skills and behaviour from a stimulation trial conducted in Jamaica. METHODS: Children with stunted growth (height-for age <-2SD of references) aged 9-24?months were enrolled in a two-year randomised-controlled trial of nutritional supplementation and/or stimulation. At mean age 31.79 (SD 0.40) years, 95 of 127 participants (74.8%; 53.7% male) were assessed. Children without stunted growth were also followed as a comparison group (64 of 84 participants, 76.2%). Measurements included IQ, executive function, mental health, psychosocial skills, personality traits and risk behaviours. A block permutation test, valid for small sample sizes, was used. Analyses accounted for the randomisation protocol, multiple hypothesis testing and attrition. RESULTS: Treatment group participants (stimulation intervention with or without supplementation, n=48) had significantly greater IQ (Hedges g effect size 0. 57; 95%CI 0.20, 0.95) and cognitive flexibility (0.61; 0.25, 0.98) compared with no-treatment (no-intervention and supplementation only, n=47). They also had reduced depressive symptoms (0.61; 0.28, 1.00), increased grit (0.53; 0.16, 0.92) and conscientiousness (0.66; 0.31, 1.07), lower substance use (rank mean score, 0.45; 0.08, 0.81) and risk taking related to health and work (0.64; 0.27, 1.00). There were 18 significant outcomes of 33 assessed. Comparison participants had higher IQ than no-treatment (1.17; 0.81, 1.54) and treatment groups (0.62; 0.18, 1.07); and better executive function, lower social inhibition and risk taking than the no-treatment group. CONCLUSIONS: The wide-ranging benefits at 31?years from the stimulation intervention supports investment in larger scale programmes to promote early childhood development in disadvantaged children. The lower IQ in the treatment group compared with comparison participants, emphasises the need for continued efforts to prevent early childhood growth retardation.

SCHOFIELD, Auteur Année de publication : 1982 Article en page(s) : p.321-331 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The developmental level and nutritional status of a group of 17 children aged between six and 24 months who were admitted to hospital with severe protein-energy malnutrition were studied from admission to hospital until 36 months after returning home. They were compared with a group of 14 adequately nourished children of similar age who had been admitted to hospital for other reasons. Initially the malnourished group were markedly behind the controls in developmental level, and they failed to reduce their deficit in hospital. Over the following 36 months they showed a gradual improvement relative to the controls in developmental level, height and head circumference, but were still significantly behind at the end of the study. In contrast, they caught up in weight for height by one month after returning home. When length of stay in hospital, age at admission, birthweight, mother's IQ and home background measures were taken into account, the direction of the differences between the two groups and significance levels were unchanged.
